greg, i have two waves that sound like goliath and are gargoyle related, the word goddamit is used in this. If these are from an episode that never made air, can you tell me if these are real or not, if you don't know what i am talkin g about, i would be happy to mail you the waves.
Greg responds...
I don't know what you're talking about, but you don't need to bother mailing it to me. We never used that kind of language in any show. NEVER. So I'm sure what you've got is quite phoney. And by the way, there were no episodes that never "made air".

What is your stand on people using likenesses of your characters? Have you ever considered publishing your stories on the internet? If they can use it to sell useless crap like pornography, why not publish something worth while?
Greg responds...
Disney owns these characters, not me. I can't publish original material for profit, without getting permission from Disney.

Will Owen ever get a life separate from Xanatos?
Greg responds...
Who says he doesn't have one now?
Anonymous writes...
Okay, were there any plans to better develop Owen's character in respect to his personal life?
Greg responds...
Sure, eventually.

A few more questions: 1. If you had done the spin-offs "Future Tense", "The New Olympians", and "Pendragon", how would you have ensured that they would not be confused with the "Gargoyles" episodes that went by those names? 2.
In "Leader of the Pack" and "A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time", Owen had a *really* sneaky smile on his face. Was this a little foreshadowing of his true identity? 3. Did you get a lot of letters from people before "The Gathering" who thought that Presto n Vogel was the result of a lazy animator copying Owen?
Greg responds...
1. Confused by who? You mean in a comment room someone might say, I loved FUTURE TENSE; then someone else might say, Oh, I didn't like it when Broadway was killed. And the first person says, not "Future Tense", FUTURE TENSE!!
And everyone says, huh? My point is, the press takes no note of episodic titles. It would seem to me that even the fans would have no real problem distinguishing the difference from the context of whatever comment got posted.
2. I suppose, but Owen is entitled to smile now and then. Owen is Owen.
The fact that he's also Puck, doesn't make Owen a cardboard one-note character.
3. Well, not letters. I certainly heard a bit of that on the Ranger List.
And also from people on the show who weren't in on it. (Jeff Bennett, by the way, didn't know Owen was Puck until he read "The Gathering, Part Two". We intentionally kept it from him. Aren't we stinkers?)

Greg responds...
One every twenty years exactly.

I remember a "Steve Perry" in the writing credits for several Season One "Gargoyles" eps. Recently I have seen a "Stephen Perry" in the writing credits for "Thundercats" reruns on the Cartoon Network. Is this the same guy? Any chance the Gargoyles will move to the Cartoon Network (pleeeaazzzze not the Disney channel! I don't get that one!)
Greg responds...
I can't be 100% sure, but I'd guess it's the same Steve Perry. Gargoyles is currently running on the USA network.

What does "deslegrate mori tempte-et intervalia" mean i've tried for a month, looking in latin books, and asking teachers i think intervalia means between walls and mori (if thats how its spelled) means to die.
plese, please transla te. thanks for the time
Greg responds...
Well, it was bad latin to begin with, though we thought it was good at the time. It's not "mori", it's "muri". And it's not "tempte" it's "tempe". It is "deslegrate", but I gather it should have been "deflegrate" or something like that. It's supposed to mean something like "Burn down the walls of time and space." I guess sorcerer's latin is slightly different from the standard brand.

Hello Mr. Weisman. I just got 3 questions here. 1. When did you actually have the idea to make Owen to be Puck in disguise? Was it actually thought up in the beginning of the 1st season, or did the idea popped up during the creati on of the 2nd season? 2. In the episode "The Mirror", Elisa was dressed up as a security cop at the museum. When she was looking into the mirror, she turned around when she heard Demona attacking the male security guard. The image of Elisa in the mir ror did not move when Elisa turned around. Was that intentional or just a fluke? 3. At the end of "The Reckoning", Demona sacrificed her life to try to kill Thailog. Why did Goliath & Angela thought that Demona died even when they saw Elisa kill Dem ona to save both MacBeth and Demona from eternal demises in the episode "Sanctuary"?
Greg responds...
1. Almost immediately after we conceived the character of Puck, before "The Mirror" was written, probably toward the tail end of season one.
2. Very intentional. A little touch thrown in by the storyboard artist to hint at the mirror's mystic properties.
3. I've answered this before; check the archives for a more detailed response, but the short answer is that they just weren't sure.

Hello again Mr. Weisman. 1. In your mind, what does New York look like in 2158? 2. In what year did Macbeth arrive in America for the first time?
3. In what year did Demona arrive in America for the first time? 4. You said that Oberon let Pendragon stay on Avalon because he owed someone a favor. Who did he owe the favor to? 5. Did you get the movie script from Dean Devlin? 6. In what year did Demona meet Puck? 7. How old is Puck?
8. When did Puck reveal himself to Xanatos? 9. Did you have any plans for Beth Maza? Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions.
Greg responds...
1. That's a big old design question. More of the same, I guess. I view the show in 2158 as being international (if not intergalactic) in scope, so I haven't given that much thought to the specifics of Manhattan.
2. I don't know yet.
3. I don't know yet.
4. His son.
5. I never saw it. And it's moot now, because Dean's been replaced by another writer, Jim Kouf.
6. I don't know yet.
7. Very old.
8. Shortly after Owen left Cyberbiotics.
9. Yes.
