I am not sure if anyone has asked this already or not, but I noticed
that there seem to have been two versions of the episode "Vows" released.
This is the episode where Goliath, Demona, Xanatos and Fox use the Phoenix
Gate to go back in time (on the occasion of Xanatos' and Fox's marriage. I
noticed that the first time I saw the episode, in the opening scene
Goliath and Xanatos are duking it out (fighting). At one point Xanatos
backhands Goliath and as Goliath staggers back a stream of blood can be seen
flying from his mouth. In the same episode, at a later time, Demona (the
younger version) runs up to Goliath (also the younger version) and embraces
him, as she does so she runs the inside of her thigh up along his
suggestively. These two scenes shocked me at the time. (It was the first time I had
saw such things on the show). But, the next time I saw the episode on TV,
(about three months later) these two scenes had been altered. There
was no blood to be seen, and Demona just hugged Goliath (minus the thigh).
My question is this...Were you aware of these changes? And why were
they made? Did some parent complain?
Greg responds...
1. I don't remember if I was aware of them, but I'm not aware
of any parental complaint.

Hey Greg,
1. How old would Xanatos have been when Brooklyn visits him in
Timedancer? What year would it have been? If you don't know exactly how old he
would have been, what about a general idea: Child, preteen, teen, young
adult, adult?
2. Patrick Stewart>Anubis, Oberon, Arthur? Any of those?
3. Number three is going to come as a seperate post just in case it
gets cut.
4. Are gargoyles and dragons related? Other than the statue in
Pendragon, would there have been any more dragons in gagoyles? Any details?
5. Pterasaurs have wings much like gargoyle wings, and they glided
too. Paleantologists believe they may have been resonably intelligent,
considering the intelligence of other creatures in those times
(dinosaurs) Any relation to gargoyles?
Greg responds...
1. Younger adult.
2. Your answer is wrong. No other hints. Although Todd has
already answered correctly. Check the archives for his answer.
3. O.K. That's probably smart.
4. Maybe. Yep. Nope.
5. Maybe.

In The Mirror, Elisa asks the clan what Demona would want with a
mirror, and Hudson answers that it's Titania's Mirror. My question is how did he
know it was Titania's Mirror? Was this a subtle forshadowing of a as of
yet untold story?
Greg responds...
It was advertised as Titania's Mirror. There was a big sign
outside the Museum.

In Possession, when Iago is moved from Brooklyn's body to the
Coldsteel shell, his soul merged with the robot. But when Othello and Desdemona
were moved into Coldstone and Coldfire, their souls entered the shells
throught the mouths, unlike what had just happened to Coldsteel. Was this an
animation error or was this intentional? And if it was intentional,
then can you give me just a small clue as to what you had planned?
Greg responds...
Not an error. Two ways of visualizing the same basic event.
Neither are wrong, but don't read too much significance into it. "A
petty consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" -- Ralph Waldo
Emerson ;)
Someday someone should ask me about the "HOBGOBLIN OF LITTLE
MINDS" episode that I never got around to doing.

Hi again Greg!
Gosh! I just keep finding more little curiosities I can't resist
asking! How very!
Okay, here's my pondering for the week! We all have heard how all the
Trekkers got on the cast! But, being a huge fan of Broadway musicals,
I am curious as to how Terrence Mann (one of my absoulute fav Broadway
actors) got cast as Oberon! Any interesting tales to it? Or any interesting
tales of his work on the set? Frairly broad I knpw, but hey!
Thank you again Mr Weisman for taking a look at this once more! May
luck be with you in the future!
Greg responds...
Our voice and casting director Jamie Thomason cast Terrance. He
was great. Had real fun with the part. But no great anecdotes, I'm
afraid.

Hey a quick question:
When did you do the last show of Gargoyles??
Is the show,,Angel of night,, the last show???
Please answer me quick!
Greg responds...
Well, I doubt this qualifies as quick. I did my last Gargoyles
"THE JOURNEY" in 1996. It originally aired in the fall of that year as
part of THE GOLIATH CHRONICLES. Angels of the Night was the last
episode of the Goliath Chronicles. It originally aired in 1997. But I
had nothing to do with it. The last episode of the original Gargoyles
series was "HUNTER'S MOON, Part Three" which aired in spring 1996.

Hi, Greg. Yes, it's me again.
A little question on the reproductive nature of gargoyles...curiosity
got the better of me...is inbreeding possible with gargoyles? *Grumbles as
someone from the chatroom makes a remark aobut her being the expert on
that one considering she's a redneck.*
Oh...and is Fang a cougar? I see a lot of similarities...
Greg responds...
1. It's possible, but the odds are against it.
2. Something like that.

1) Patrick StewartMacbeth and the Archmage from the first season,
and Oberon from the second season.
2) Since the full story about Katana's name would probably take 42
pages, I'm just going to ask if it was a name she had before she met Brooklyn
(i.e., from her clan or through human contact), or after (i.e., in the
context of their meeting, falling in love, adventuring together
through time).
3) Gargoyle eggs take ten years to hatch, unless I've forgotten my
canon. How would Brooklyn and Katana have cared for their eggs while voyaging
through time?
4) Related to the above question, how long was the average Brooklyn
stay in a given time period? i.e., Did he run the risk of appearing for a few
seconds before the Phoenix Gate snatches him again?
5) I don't think this is in the archives, so I have to ask: Why does
the Phoenix Gate continue to travel with Brooklyn, snatching him from time
to time and from place to place, and why does it cease after he's
returned to Castle Wyvern of the 20th century?
Greg responds...
1. Nope.
2. No comment.
3. With difficulty. Though I never said how long they were in
each place.
4. There aren't any rules as to length of stay. It's possible
that he might have danced in and out in a few seconds on occasion, but
it makes for lousy stories, so I wouldn't have done that often.
5. The Phoenix Gate is lossed in time. Brooklyn takes
advantage of it's comings and goings in the hopes that it will
eventually take him home. Once he gets home, he avoids it like the
plague.

If you don't want to answer this, that's fine. I understand.
Celebrities are always getting these requests. But is there anyway I can get a Gargs
pic signed by you?
Greg responds...
Come to the Gathering in NYC this summer. I'm hoping to be
there if the details can be worked out.

Hi Greg:
1. Who created the Phoenix Gate? ONe of Oberon's Children?
2. Would Patrick Stewart have played King Arthur? Macbeth? Oberon?
3. Would you ever have done a Romeo & Juliet type of episode?
Between what two charecters (ie who would be Romeo and who would be Juliet?)
4. Do you know who Tod mcFarlane is? If not he is the creator
if Spawn and Image comics. The reason I brought him up is that Marvel Comics, for
which he used to work, wanted to buy the rights to Spawn, but Tod wouldn't
let them because he knew they'd eventually mess it up. He was, at the
time. working on Venom and Marvel wanted to turn Venom into a good guy. So
between Marvel wanting to change Venom and rather than allow them to do the
same with Spawn Todd left Marvel and started Image, which is now far more
succesful than marvel (who is going bankrupt). I realize it is to
late now but you really should have tried something like this with Garoyles. I
also brought it up to say that if you want a comic company that might do a
great job with Gargoyles, that is if Disney gives them a chance, Image is a
good place to start. Todd would sympathise with your problem. would you
consider it?
Greg responds...
1. Not who.
2. No.
3. There was a definite Romeo and Juliet theme planned for New
Olympians.
4. I've met Tod, and I'm familiar with what you're describing,
but the situations are not parallel. You're comparing Gargoyles with
Spawn, but it would be more accurate to compare Gargoyles with Venom.
That is, Gargoyles are and always were owned by Disney. There was never
a moment when I could have gone off and done it on my own, because I
NEVER owned the property. Also, you should remember that for Tod (who
had some substantial money and reputation from his Marvel work) to go
off and publish his own comic was a very doable thing. He was a fan
favorite. And producing a comic book is a RELATIVELY inexpensive
proposition that requires a relatively small staff of people. By
comparison, no one had ever heard of me BEFORE Gargoyles, and still, few
know who I am now. In addition, producing an animated series is a
RELATIVELY costly proposition. Exponentially more expensive than
publishing a comic book. And the required staff is huge. And they'd
all need to be paid in advance to put food on their tables. The whole
thing is WAY beyond my resources, even today. Now I know, you think Tod
has done it with the SPAWN animated series. But that was AFTER Spawn
was already a huge success that made him a millionaire many times over.
I'm not saying he spent his own money on the show, but that money and
the prestige of the property gave him a lot of clout. Frankly, that's
clout I don't have.
