Dread has now covered The Green and Sentinel.

Well, it's less than an hour until The Day of The Doctor airs (nearly) worldwide. I will be watching with much glee.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. I'm not going to say anything about whether there really was a big conspiracy behind it or not in real life, but in the Gargoyles Universe, there probably was, given the timing of Quincy Hemings getting the White House Steward job. (And if the Illuminati was indeed behind it in the Gargoyles Universe, there's something ironic about that particular president being assassinated by a society led by a former knight of King Arthur's court - whose purpose for the Illuminati seems to have been linked to Arthur's foretold return from Avalon.)

Hufflepuffs are really good finders

Todd - I did a light search online last night to see if I could find the answers. I didn't, but I found this out: Sarah Douglas, the voice of Una, did voices for some Doctor Who video games a couple years ago.

Yep, David Warner's the other one.

Wow, that list was a long time ago. I don't know if I'd ever update it, though the Weeping Angels would be tempting to include on the revised version (all the more after they showed up in New York in their latest appearance - [SPOILER] and even turned the Statue of Liberty into one of them [/SPOILER]).

Can someone post the nerdy show link, please?

By the way, Todd...would you care to update your old Top Ten Results of a Crossover Between Doctor Who and Gargoyles List (as found at http://pucksplace.artchicks.org/aerie/topten/drwho.htm)?

Argh, I forgot David Warner. Roddy McDowall was just a guess, but I remembered Morgan Sheppard (playing an older version of his real-life son Mark Sheppard) in "The Impossible Astronaut".

Can't believe I forgot David Warner...

Supermorff

David Warner played Dr. Grisenko in the episode that recently brought back the Ice Warriors (Cold War), served as the voice of Lord Azlok for the animated special Dreamland, and also acted as an alternate version of the Third Doctor in two of the MANY audio stories (Sympathy for the Devil and Masters of War) as well as Sir Isaac Newton in the production Circular Time and the recurring role of Cuthbert in four Fourth Doctor audio productions.

Someone already got the other one, I see. To my knowledge, Roddy McDowall was never in Classic Who.

SUPERMORFF - Sheppard is correct. As for McDowell - I don't know if he was ever on "Doctor Who" or not, but he's not the one I'm thinking of.

1 out of 2 correct.

Todd> W. Morgan Sheppard. And Roddy McDowall?

Since, as Chip mentioned, the 50th anniversary of "Doctor Who" is this Saturday, here's a trivia question. Which two voice actors in "Gargoyles" have appeared in "Doctor Who"? I'll supply the answer on Saturday evening if no one guesses it correctly.

Mystery Incorporated is my third favorite cartoon ever, but I'm not as huge on it directly crossing over. I'd be fine with Earth-16 having their own version of the gang. They'd fit in well.

Though, that being said, Pericles was an antagonist who always felt like a Weisman villain anyway. So it'd probably be an easier match than most shows. Vandal could use a pet parrot.

Harlan Phoenix
The enemy is clever. We're smaller but whatever. When we put it together, I'll form the head.

My hope is that, were there to be a crossover between YJ and Scooby-Doo, that it would involve the cast from "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated." Not only because it's easily the highest quality work in the franchise, but because Victor Cook was heavily involved in it.

Plus, after the [SPOILER] Nibiru Entity [/SPOILER]...I think that version of the Scooby gang could put up a good match against the Light.

ESG: So long as you follow all of the guidelines, there is no limit to the number of questions you may ask (in separate posts).

If you'd like, you can e-mail me your questions ahead of time, and I can make sure they're all ready for approval.

Though admittedly, it's gonna be a couple of days before I'm looking at the queue again myself. Just picked up "Young Justice: Legacy" a couple hours ago, and want to complete my first playthrough before any reviews/questions in the queue spoil me.

So, I've got several questions for Greg. I think they're all intriguing, in line with the guidelines, and incapable of being properly answered by anyone but Greg. How many questions do you think I could ask before it became excessive?

[SPOILER] INT. WATCHTOWER

NIGHTWING smiles, giving FRED JONES a strong, firm handshake.

NIGHTWING
We're happy to have had you on our team, Fred. You and the rest of Mystery Inc. helped us stop Savage and his Light from causing incalculable damage.

FRED
Ha! Gosh Nightwing, just doing our part. Any time there's a mystery to solve, you can count on us!

NIGHTWING
We definitely will.

The Team and Mystery Inc. all smile after a hard day's work. VELMA gives ZATANNA a goodbye hug.

VELMA
I'll definitely pour through these magic books! They sound fascinating!

ZATANNA
If you ever have any questions, you're more than welcome to call!

Aqualad and Daphne look out toward the stars.

AQUALAD
Since...what happened to Tula, I was unsure if my heart was capable of ever loving again, despite how hard I tried. But you, Daphne...

DAPHNE
Oh, Kaldur...

AQUALAD
I will see you again, soon?

DAPHNE
Definitely!

SHAGGY tosses WOLF a Scooby Snack while SCOOBY looks on jealously.

FADE:

INT. LIGHT'S INNER SANCTUM.

The seven screens displaying the MEMBERS OF THE LIGHT discuss matters with an unseen accomplice.

RA'S AL GHUL
It seems that the...mystery behind our young foes has been solved, hasn't it?

LEX LUTHOR
With our new plant inside the Team, I don't foresee anything getting past our all seeing eye.

VANDAL SAVAGE
We should thank you. It is so rare to see such ambitious young people doing so much for their community, unlike the rest of your friends. The Earth will be in your debt for years and years to come.

PERKY FEMALE VOICE
Gee, thanks Mr. Savage! But I wouldn't worry too much about my friends. Everything takes time.

The accomplice walks into the Light, revealing herself as Daphne Blake.

DAPHNE
I'm sure they'll see the Light. [/SPOILER]

Harlan Phoenix
The enemy is clever. We're smaller but whatever. When we put it together, I'll form the head.

Speaking of the proposed Young Justice/Scooby-Doo crossover, I recently had a creativity demon (had it for a while, in fact, after learning about the Light's membership):

At one of the Light's conferences, the other members notice that the Brain is acting a bit different - his voice doesn't sound quite the same, and his accent is a bit off. When they question him, he insists that everything is normal - until a second voice says from inside the machine, "Ha, ha! Narf!" The Light open the Brain's machine to discover that it's a duplicate machine powered by two lab mice - who have to flee in a hurry once Klarion tries to feed them to Teekl, and head off to Acme Labs to prepare for tomorrow night....

Just listened to the Nerdy Show with Brandon and Greg :D

(nothing significant here, but just in case)
[SPOILER] With all the talk about YJ crossing over with Scooby Doo, I couldn't but wonder how Black Manta's Celebrity Hot Tub did not get mentioned! Now I can't help but wonder what the hosts' reaction to the premise would have been, lol. [/SPOILER]

I SOOOO cannot wait for A Link Between Worlds!!!
Battle Beast - [Canada]
I did it! I watched all 485 Best picture nominees in 365 days!

It just occurred to me that "The Price" is remarkably similar in structure to the Teen Titans episode "The Sum of His Parts."
[SPOILER] To elaborate, both episodes star a character who has to live with an unfortunate truth in their lives: Cyborg being only partly human, and Hudson being far past his prime. Both characters end up restrained by villains who wish to involuntarily change them; in cyborg's case becoming fully robotic, in Hudson's case becoming subjected to the Cauldron of Life's presumed immortality granting. While this is going on, the Teen Titans and the gargoyles are both fighting a villain who they believe is responsible for their teammates capture, but in fact isn't. Hudson and Cyborg both manage to convince their abductors to let them go freely. [/SPOILER]

Ohh, I didn't even know that YJ:L gets a 3DS release!!
I'll buy the steam version, but not for the full price.

Neill - [neillgargoyle(a)gmail dot com]

Oh yeah, I was meaning to imply YJL there. Though A Link Between Worlds is definitely on my radar.

Anthony> I'll probably have to go with a cheaper version, but that one certainly looks really cool.

I assumed Ross was talking about getting YJL for 3DS.

Ross, here's the 3DS I'll be buying this Friday. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/3ds-xl-gold-black-with-the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-between-worlds/2287137.p;jsessionid=A4B0EB8764943793B336669C90EB854E.bbolsp-app04-159?id=1219071509031&skuId=2287137&st=zelda 3ds&cp=1&lp=1

Tenth in the name of pre-ordering my first 3DS game!

Now I just need a 3DS...

Ninth in the name of being totally square.
