3)Out of all your proposed spin-offs, which one came closets to being
put in production?? Second closest?? Third?? Not even close at all??

I have a few questions I would like to ask:

1) We know that Demona and the Captain of the Guard worked together to
betray the Castle to the Vikings, but who came up with the idea in the
first place?

2) On a related note, we saw in City of Stone that Demona had the
opportunity to warn some of the clan about the Vikings- so why didn't
she? Surely she didn't really believe that one person (the Captain) would
be able to stop the entire Viking horde from destroying the clan. It seems to
me that she could have made up some story about overhearing the Captain
conspiring with another guard, adn warned the others to leave. After
all, gargoyles may protect, but I would think the gargoyles would have
realized that, with the Vikings attacking at dawn, there would be nothing the
clan could do to help and that it was necessary for them to flee.

3)We know that gargoyles do not formally acknowledge individual
parentage, but do they have some informal methods of keeping track of these
things? I ask this because it seems to me that, depending on the number of times
a female becomes fertile in her lifetime and the approximate age at
which the cycle begins, there could be the possibility of inbreeding among
gargoyles(I worked it out assuming that the cycle starts at the biological age of
20 and lasted for three breeding cycles, and found that there appeared to be
the possibility of uncles/aunts mating with their nieces/nephews, as well
as the chance for 1st cousins to breed).

Is there any computer game of the Gargoyles?

Hi Greg. There are somethings I need to know about your great cartoon.
Also these questions I had to ask are things I have noticed that the Disney
people didn't exactly tell about.

1) Even though Puck was training Alex, was Puck sapossed to train Fox
also or not?

2) After the episode, "Hunter's Moon" was concluded, the Disney
people didn't make a new season to show that Jason's little brother, Jon was
wanting some new revenge on the gargoyles. Also, Jon was going to
still hunt down Demona. Why is it that these two things never showed up on a
new season or on the last season?

3) After Titania said her good-byes to Fox and Alex, Titania wispered
something in Fox's ear. What was it and what did Titania say to Fox
that no one could understand?

4) Will there be anymore Gargoyle comic books and Gargoyle trading
cards? These two things I never know where around,plus they never avetized
them on tv.Why? And I sure would like to have some of the comic books and
trading cards. Please answer these to your best ability. May Gargoyles live
forever.

Hello, Mr. Weisman.

First off, thank you soooooo much for that magnificent series of
yours, Gargoyles. (Ho-kay, that's out of my system.) :)
Only two questions for you, sir. I am a newbie at this (using
substandard equipment that crashes when it tries to process anything from the Web
larger than 150k), so if these have been asked before, I apologize for being
redundant.

1) A lot of people have asked about breaking into animation as an
artist/animator. How would one go about breaking in as a writer (the
more important part of the equation, if you ask me.)?

2) I don't mean to get you into any trouble with this question, but
here goes: Looking back on what's happened with your creation, do you
think it would have had a longer/shorter life had it been done with a different
studio (i.e. Warner Brothers, who seems to do superheroics much better
than Disney)?

3) Do you have any current *live action* writings in development
(movies, TV series, music videos)?

Hi Greg! Thanks in advance:

1) Do gargoyle beasts give birth in litters or singly?

2) Are all the female gargoyles in a clan on the same 20 year
fertility cycle? It was implied that all the eggs on Avalon hatched around the
same time.

3) Are the males also only fertile every 20 years?

4) How many gargoyle beasts were there in the Wyvern clan before the
massacre?

5) I realize you didn't write that episode, but could you please
explain why the clones turned to stone when they died?
6) Is Demona's 2nd clan (the one supposedly killed by Canmore's men)
really dead?

Anonymous writes...

Hello Greg! Just wanted to ask you a question.

1) In "Double Jeopardy" I saw that Thailog had red eyes. Since you
have said earlier that only female gargoyles have red eyes, does he have them
because of the pigment mix-up thing?

Anonymous writes...

Greg Hi again. I came up with a few more for you.

1. In which spinoff did you plan for Demona to see the light? I'm
really wondering if this would occur in Goliath or Angela's life times or
after they are both dead. Whatever brings her to her senses must have been
something else. A pity I can't think of a simple way to ask what it
was.

2. Gargoyles lay only one egg at a time. There were 36 eggs in the
rookery. Therefore you had to have at least 72 gargoyles in the clan
at Castle Wyvern. Throw in the single gargs, those that were to young or
too old to mate, and that number might even be over a hundred. Yet in the
past you mentioned that their were only about 30 to 40 gargs in the Wyvern
clan. Am I missing something?

3. You mentioned before that Coldsteel would still be a threat to the
clan. Considering that Demona shares responsiblity for his first death,
you'd think he'd want revenge on her as well. So why was he so cooperative
during High Noon, and would he be inclined to go after her now. (Not that
this would necessarily accomplish anything for him)

Anonymous writes...

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?

Anonymous writes...

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?

Anonymous writes...

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?

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?

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...

Anonymous writes...

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?

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?

Hi Greg. :)

(1) So how have you been doing?

(2) I have been wondering about Katana's name. Is there a real life
story as to how you and/or your staff came up with that name? If so, what
is it?

(3) Is there a story as to how she got that name in the actual garg
universe? If so, what is it?

(4) Now for a few more questions about the Phoenix Gate. Is there any
type of limit to when the gate can go to?

(5) If so, does that limit change depending on who is using the gate?

(6) What I mean is, is the gate limited (in things like traveling to
the future) on what one knows of the future? If one doesn't know what the
future holds, can they travel into the future using the Gate?

Hi, Greg. I've been wondering this ever since I first saw "City of

Hello Mr. Weisman. I appologise if any of these questions have been
asked before. In that case I must have missed them.

1. I have been wondering. When the sun comes up, gargoyles turn to
stone. When the sun is gone, they wake up. But what would happen during a
solar eclipse?

2. I can understand the reasons why you don't want to see any original
ideas. You don't want someone to sue you because he thinks he's given
you an idea, even though you thought of the same thing before you even met
him. I'm wondering though, did this ever really happen to you so far?

Hey Greg,
I have question to ask you that's more personal than those I've asked
in the past. As you may but probably don't remember, I mentioned that I
dabble in fanfiction. Lately, though, I've sort of lost the urge to write.
I've been puttering around on my current piece for more than half a year, and I
just can't seem to find my inspiration. My question is: does this ever
happen to you? And if so, how do you combat it?

Hi greg,

I was watching a show about ancient Mayan civilizations in Spanish
class, and I noticed a few things: one thing I noticed was a Mayan statue
that looked like it had eye ridges, a bat with "wings like a dragon"
(that's what the video said), and finally a snake carving that could have easily
been a gargoyle like the one in Guatemala.

1) Is this the sort of thing that gave you the idea for the Green, or
did you not notice these types of things?

2) Will Alexander be alive in 2158?

3) Will Alex be (magically) as strong, or stronger than say Puck or
Merlin?

4) Was Demona ever in love with anyone else during the 1000 years
that Goliath was asleep? Any chance I can get you to tell me who?

Hello Mr Weisman!

Thanks again for taking the time to answer all these questions that we
Gargoyle fanatics throw at ya...speaking of which, here are some of
mine :-)

1) You noted that Edmund from KING LEAR is your favorite
Shakespearean
character...why? BTW...LEAR is one of my faves also...the mirroring ,
contrast and complexity of the characters is incredibly clever.

2) Are there any Gargoyle characters that have smidgens of Edmund
written into them ? (Thailog comes to mind, in a vague sort of way).

3) Besides A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM and OTHELLO, are there any other
Shakespearean allusions in Gargoyles?

4) Was Maggie cloned from some sort of housecat?

5) What the heck was Fang cloned from?

6) Why does Demona have a belly button?

7) Which one is Rosencrantz and which one is Guildenstern? (I can
never tell)

8) Was Lear more sinned upon than sinner?

Thanks for your time! Continued luck in the future! Sorry for the
irrelevant Shakespeare queries :-)

Hey I know you hear this alot but thanx for taking the time to answer
our questions.

1) You may have answered this before but if you did it was one of your
corn ball one word answers =) so ill try again. a) In Hunters Moon if
Demona shattered the bottle and released the virus would that have killed
Macbeth since it was Demona who made the virus and that would also kill
herself? b)How powerful was the preying gargoyle? c) Did d) Demona realize she
was taking a gamble with her life and e) if yes was she suicidal at the
time?

2) Ahh your who would Pactrick Stewart play contest. I say he would
have played Macbeth (very obvious), Hudson, and the one from the second
season, the original hunter from city of stone. Are any of these right?

3) a)I know Puck is banished from avalon but im sure Alex isnt, when
and how will he visit there for the first time? b)how old will he be? c)is
there any story you have planed for that trip? d)If Alex was threatened on
Avalon would puck be allowed back to protect him? (loop hole, hehehe)

4) When Brooklyn come back after TimeDancer will he look like he did
in the episode "FutureTense"?

5) Is Duval anyone we know yet in the show?
whew, lots of questions. Thanx again =)

gargoyles was an excellent show. I think the reason it got cannes was
because the story got too complicated. It seemed "overwhelming" for
someone who never saw the show before. Those previously seen on gargoyles
scenes didn't help matters either. Sure it saved two minutes of animation,
but it alienated alot of viewers. I liked the Avalon Subquest since it
helped new viewers get hooked. I hope you get back on sindication so I can see
Time dancer. It sounds cool.

2) Demona tells Goliath to give the Pheonix Gate Angela so she can
hide in the past, but I thought Demona didn't find out about Angela until they
returned to Manhattan, can you explain??

3) Was it planned that Goliath, Elisia, Angela and Bronx never
returned home until they had rid themselves of the Eye of Odin and the Pheonix

4) Is it possible that the Eye of Odin and the Pheonix Gate combined
were guiding the travelers and was it Avalon??

Hope that you don't mind these extra questions and comments:

1. My personal guesses (re your invitation) for whom you had planned
Patrick Stewart to voice: Goliath, Macbeth, King Arthur.

2. You mentioned that Edmund in "King Lear" is your favorite
Shakespeare character. Shortly after reading that, I got to thinking, and noticed
a slight similarity between him and Thailog (villainous
not-fully-acknowledged son who turns on his father). Was Edmund a partial model for Thailog?

3. Thans for answering my Macbeth question (and telling me what John
Rhys-Davies's response to the story was). By the way, who are Monique
and Tuppence?

4. You said that Elisa introduced her family to Talon and the Mutates
in "The Cage" in the Labyrinth, but I thought when I saw that episode
that the final scene (the meeting, with Goliath secretly watching) was taking
place in her apartment instead (that's how it looked to me). Which was it?

5. Somebody else brought up the Xanatos-and-Owen deal, and I thought
that I'd say here that I considered it good judgement on Xanatos's part to
choose Owen's service over a wish from Puck. After all, Owen is very
reliable and efficient, while I've pretty much got the feeling from Demona's case
in "The Mirror" that asking Puck to grant your wish can get you into a lot of
trouble :)

5. You said that "Ransom" and "Runaways" were based on episodes that
you'd planned for the 3rd season, but altered in direction. Was "Seeing
Isn't Believing" (the Goliath Chronicles episode with Taurus and Proteus in
it) similarly based on your proposed "New Olympians" spin-off?

6. One of the things that I've most liked about Goliath was his
fondness for reading (which is all the more impressive, given how the average
inhabitant of 10th century Scotland would have felt about literacy - Hakon's
attitude was the dominant one for the period). When did he learn how to read -
the 10th century or the 20th? And did somebody teach him, or did he learn
on his own?

7. Related to No. 6 - do you have any idea what book Goliath was
reading in "Avalon Part One" the one that he stayed home at the clock tower to
finish)?

8. Did the various gargoyle-haters such as the Hunters believe
gargoyles to be demons (as in, supernatural evil creatures), or did they view them
more as ferocious wild animals like wolves or mountain lions?

9. What sort of "big cat" is Fang modelled on? I can identify the
other Mutates' originals (Talon - panther, Maggie - lioness, Claw - tiger),
but I'm not so sure about his.

Anonymous writes...

1. You once stated that Hudson is Broadways biological father.

a)Are either of them aware of this fact?

b)Why wasn't it discussed in the show?

2. Did you plan for any more episodes with the golem, or was his
appearance a one episode thing?

3. Would you have told us any of Jackal and Hyena's past?

4. Would Claw ever have spoken?

5. I asked you before, but you said to ask again later so I am. What
was Demona's reaction to Shakespeares play Macbeth?

6. a)Since Coldstone is just animated stone, and Coldfire and
Coldsteel are robots, would they have a longer lifespan that the rest of the clan?

b)Would they still be around in 2158?

7. How long of his 40 year trek would Brooklyn spend in 2158, and how
long in medieval Ishimura?

8. Does Hudson still have his piece of statue from "The Price"?

1. Are Coldstone, Coldfire, Coldsteel, Jackal, and Hyena anatomically correct?
