1)Would Brooklyn ever of visited New Olympus in his Timdancing
journeys??

2)If so, what time would he of visited them in??

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??

Greg responds...

1. Maybe.

2. Don't know.

3. Well, doing more Gargoyles actually happened: GOLIATH
CHRONICLES. So that would be #1. Second would have to be BAD GUYS,
which we developed extensively and did an animatic reel. Third would
probably be DARK AGES, which we did a short art pitch on and actually
pitched to CBS. Fourth, would probably be a tie between NEW OLYMPIANS,
which we did another art pitch on (for internal purposes) and PENDRAGON,
which I pitched verbally and internally and sparked some brief interest.
Sixth would be FUTURE TENSE, which CBS expressed a brief interest in.
Seventh would be TIMEDANCER, which I basically came up with too late in
the game. It was never seriously considered.

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).

Greg responds...

1. The captain.

2. She was a coward. Emotionally, she still is.

3. It's possible, but unlikely. It's also possible that
pheremones and a gargoyle sense of smell would reduce the likelihood of
biological incest.

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.

Greg responds...

1. No.

2. I had nothing to do with the GOLIATH CHRONICLES after "The
Journey". I can't tell you why they did and didn't chose to pursue
various threads after that episode.

3. See the archives for one of my many clever non-answers to
this question.

4. Not to my knowledge.

I have read somewhere that there is a live-action Gargoyles movie in
production. It was supposed to be out in early '99. Is this true? If
not, such a movie would be great!

Greg responds...

There is, or at least there was, a live-action movie in
development at Touchstone. My liason at Touchstone is currently not
returning my phonecalls, so I have no new information on it. Believe
me, I'll let everyone know as soon as I know anything.

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)?

Greg responds...

1. I don't think one is more important than the other. I have
answered this in more detail in the archive. Read and Write. Get good.
Write spec scripts. Read. Proofread. Read Aloud. Write. Write.
Write. Make phone calls. Network.

2. This has been asked before too. It's SO HYPOTHETICAL as to
border on the incomprehensible, like asking me whether the series would
have lasted longer if I were over six feet tall. I don't know how to
speculate on this. So let me just reiterate that Disney created the
environment that allowed me to create this show. I don't think that
environment would have existed ANYWHERE else. Disney's far from
perfect, but I get a little tired of people implying that they suck. I
worked there for almost seven years. I was an executive for five of
those years. Part (a small part) of the Disney establishment, even. I
saw a lot of goofy decisions get made, but I saw a lot of good stuff get
made too. How would being at Warners have helped? I doubt we'd ever
even have developed the show. Sorry for the tirade, but I think
occasionally we all need to take a reality check and put things in
perspective.

3. No.

If Goliath knew that no one had the power to change time with the
Phoenix Gate, then why didn't he just let Puck give it to Oberon, surely even
Oberon doesn't have the power to change history?

Greg responds...

As you may have seen, the Gate has much potential for mischief
without changing history. Besides, would you have given it to Puck
after "Future Tense"?

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?

Greg responds...

1. Singly.

2. Yes and Yes.

3. Fertile? Is that the right word? I think male and female
gargoyles have sex more often than once every twenty years, if that's
what you're trying to get at in a round about way.

4. I don't know the exact number. A handful.

5. No, because I not only didn't write the episode, I was more
or less appalled by it. Why would you ask me that?

6. Yep.

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?

Greg responds...

Yep.

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)

Greg responds...

1. Not going to reveal that here.

2. Over 20 years, a lot of death can take place.

3. I'm not sure how aware he is of Demona's guilt.
