Hi again Great One!

[1] You answered -who- made the Phenox Gate with "not who." In that case,
what, when where and how. I know I proably won't get much of an answer to
many [or any] of those, had to try.

[2] Why was Lex part Cyborg in Future Tense? Thanks!

Greg responds...

1. It was created with the Timestream, perhaps as a pressure valve of
sorts.
2. Mostly cause it was shocking as hell.

What part would Coldstone, Coldfire, and Coldsteel have played in the
whole scheme of things
would they have become more often recurring characters in your master
plan????????

Greg responds...

There would have been a period when Coldstone and Coldfire would be
borderline regulars, but that wouldn't have been permanent. Coldsteel would
have been a recurring villain.

Hello Greg! I was wondering about the Isle of Avalon again! I was
wondering,

1). why the third race or others call upon Avalon as if it was a person?
Example, when the Magus in Avalon PT3 said: "Mystic Avalon, hear my plea,
fill me with your energy!", the Magus called to it and it responded in the
way a person may respond?

2). Can you say that Avalon is alive and knows the difference between
right
and wrong? I know that you might not understand what im asking but anyway!
Thanks once again!

Greg responds...

1. It seems to have a spirit. Maybe they're just hedging their bets.
2. I get it, but I don't think there's a definitive answer to your
question.

This is not a question ( my apologies for that ). I just want to thank u
for this great show. I never saw it before ( it's on now ). I leave to see the
next episode, recording every one of them. Thanx, and if u will have a
chance to continue "Gargoyles", do not hesitate. By the way, sins I'm in
US only for one year ( I'm from Russia ) - "Gargoiles" is an internacional
show . I'm leaving in three days, so I have only one more episode to see:
"Reawakening II". Prey for me, I will be without your clan from
now on. Thanx again. Bye.

Greg responds...

Sorry to see you go, Pasha. (Do we tell her there is no Reawakening
II? I guess she's gone by now.)

Just one quick question, Did you have anything to do with the making of
Invasion America? I know Micheal Reaves. Thanx

Greg responds...

I know Michael too. As to Invasion, Uh, really, no. Not with
what's on the screen. I briefly was attached to the project, but left when
Harve Bennett came on as Executive Producer.

A thematic question that I've been wondering about for some time. In the
series, many characters were "immortal", including Oberon's Children,
Demona, and Macbeth. Oberon's Children were, for the most part, a petty,
arrogant, and often downright nasty lot, who treated mortals as mere
playthings. Demona was a crazed and ruthless genocidist and Macbeth did
his own share of shady things such as stealing the Scrolls of Merlin and
capturing the gargoyles to use as bait for a Demona-trap. Not to mention,
furthermore, that the "immortal-at-last-Xanatos" of "Future Tense" (even
though it turned out that it wasn't the real Xanatos but an illusion of
Puck's) was far more evil and ruthless than the original Xanatos ever was.
What I'm wondering is: was this intended as a major "moral" of
"Gargoyles"?
That immortality (or rather, physical, bodily immortality) is a corrupting
influence?

Greg responds...

1. Eh, I don't know about that. Macbeth has his moments, but he's not
such a bad guy. I rather like Coyote. A trickster, but with a more
clearly positive bent than some of his fellows. Citing Oberon, ignores
Titania. Citing the Sisters ignores the Lady of the Lake and Grandmother.
I think you're assumptions are a bit flawed on this one, Todd. Hey, Todd
and I disagree. That's got to be a first.

A quick question about gargoyle evolution that you might of answered. Ok,
I've noticed that Goliath's clan, the Japanese gargoyles, and the
Guatemalan gargoyles(excluding that snake like guy whose name escapes me) all look
like retiles(the wing structure more than anything), while Griff, Leo and Una
all look like birds(their wings have feathers/ploomage). Then there are people
that say the birds evolved from reptile, or dinosaurus, and Goliath's
little wing fingers look like the ones on a Peradactyle(I have no idea how to
spell it, the flying ones). I can understand how Goliath and Co. might have
missed out on 1,000 years of evolution(not that it would be much), but not
Japan's gargoyles. So I guess London's gargoyles just evolved differently, can you
clear this up for me?? And I guess this is question #2: Are there more
than three gargoyles in London?? Thanks for your time.

Greg responds...

1. Superficial and cosmetic differences are easily influenced by local
forces.
2. Yes.

Hello! I'm a rather informal person, so may I call you Greg? Or should it
be Mr. Weisman? Oh, never mind. I've got a few questions for ya (like you
don't know.)

1. Where did the idea of putting a few Shakespeare bits here and there
come from?

2. I read in a magazine (Comic Scene) that five episodes in the Avalon
world tour were possible ideas for spinoffs (I think they were "Pendragon," "New
Olympians," "Bushido.." can't remember the other two). We already know
about Pendragon. Were these really plans, or Comic Scene mess up? (the have
been known to do that, but don't tell them _I_ said that!) and

Greg responds...

1. Me. And Greg's fine.
2. There were only two that were sort of INTENTIONALLY made as
back-door pilots. Those were THE NEW OLYMPIANS and PENDRAGON. One might
argue that WALKABOUT and BUSHIDO were both precursors to BAD GUYS, in that
they introduced characters that would have appeared in that spin-off, but
it's a stretch to refer to them as pilots. I mean for starters, Yama was a
late addition to the Bad Guys cast. And if you count them, why not count
HUNTER'S MOON, which introduced Robyn Canmore? What else could have been
referred to? "Future Tense" was definitely not a pilot for the FUTURE TENSE
spin-off. Two totally different takes on the future. There was no DARK
AGES back door pilot. No TIMEDANCER pilot either. So I think that brings
us back to THE NEW OLYMPIANS and PENDRAGON.
3. Uh, which part?
4. You're slo-mo must not work to well. Our composer was the
talented Carl Johnson and his credit's clearly visible on every episode.
5. I've answered this in some detail in the archives. I like
almost all of them.

Hello again, Greg, I have just a few more questions to ask ya. I'd also
like to tell ya that I'll be using this site more often because I'll never
get to see ya in person(I can't go to New York for the Gathering which
makes me so @#^%$ mad!) I'd also like to beg forgiveness if any of these
questions have been asked before. So here we go.

1) How long before the Eyre Building was built did Demona know Xanatos?

2) How long exactly did it take to build the Eyre anyway?(I've heard it
was six months but I find it hard to believe that a skyscraper that big could
be built in that short of time.) And two personal ones:

3) Do you ever get tired of answering our questions?(Sorry I had to ask
that one. Considering you've already answered a zillion of them.)

4) How would I go about getting my fanfic on the internet? (I've only had
the internet for a short time and I'm still learning how to use it.)

Greg responds...

1. I haven't done the math.

2. The whole skyscraper or just putting the castle on top?

3. No.

4. I have no involvement in fanfiction.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi! I've enjoyed "Gargoyles" ever since it brightened up TDA's darkest
days in 1994. I do have a few questions which I hope have not yet been asked
here. Here they are:

1) In "Enter Macbeth," Xanatos has October 31 circled on his calendar as
the day he's released from jail. However, in "Double Jeopardy" the computer
date on the log shows Noember 15 and Xanatos is still in jail. Since the most
Xanatos got was a six-month sentence, he couldn't possibly have been in
jail November 15 of any year.

2) Is Jon Castaway one and the same as John Canmore? It's been my theory,
but he looks and sounds quite different.

3) Is Duval, the leader of the Illuminati, immortal? I believe you said
somewhere that he was, but that didn't mean he couldn't die. Huh?

4) If "Timedancer" had been produced, what would have happened to Brooklyn
in the "Gargoyles" series? Would he not be on it as he was time traveling?
And when he returned would he be older than Broadway & Lexington on
"Gargoyles" as well (I know he's already older, but I mean considerably).

5) Where can I obtain a copy of your "Master Plan?"

6) What other Disney shows have you worked on? I know "TaleSpin," and I
think "Darkwing Duck." Any others?

Greg responds...

1. Haven't I answered this?
2. He doesn't look very different at all, since we used the exact
same model, changing only his clothes, the way his hair is styled and added
a mustache. As to sound, we even tried to duplicate that with a different
accent. Yeah, it's the same guy.
3. Right.
4. He's not "already" older than Broadway and Lexington. They all
hatched at the same time, give or take a day or two. Brooklyn would have
returned from ALL of his timedancing a mere five minutes after he departed.
He'd be forty (or twenty) years older, but he wouldn't have missed any of
the GARGOYLES adventures.
5. I don't know. Gore, can you just duplicate it below once and
for all. (Last time I suggested this, Gore ignored me.)
6. Geez, I worked on a ton of them in one capacity or another. I
was at Disney for seven years, most as an executive in charge of either
current programming or development. I worked on Pooh, Gummi Bears,
DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Darkwing, Goof Troop, Bonkers,
Marsupilami, Raw Toonage, Schnookums & Meat, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, the
Duck Tales Movie, A Goofy Movie, Mighty Ducks, Timon & Pumbaa, at least. Am
I leaving anything out from that era? Oh, yeah, Gargoyles and Goliath
Chronicles.
