1. Due to Elisa's words in "Double Jeopardy" about Thailog being
Goliath's son, what is the Delilah/Elisa relationship like, since Delilah is not a
true clone, but a blending of Elisa and Demona?

2. Do Elisa's parents know about Delilah?

3. And if Elisa's parents know about Delilah, what are their reactions to
her?

Dear Mister Greg,
1) Where did the idea of the Phoenix Gate come from? I remember reading a
legend about it or something like it in school but I cannot find it on the
web. If it is an original idea I might have been mistaken. (You can omit
this if you post it but I wouldn't mind if Gore could relay the answer to
this small question to NickZane@aol.com) Thanks Greg and Gore for your
time.

alive.
Arthur(obviously Merlin(ditto) Lady of the Lake(ditto again) Percival
Morgana la Fay Nimue Bedivere those are my guesses.

Dear Greg, I have a few questions.

1. The Magus was Archmage's apprentice, why did he stop teaching Magus?

2. Why did Archmage even have an apprentice? Why would he "need" one?

3. Who were Magus' biological parents?

4. Does The Magus have anything to do with Merlin?

5. Did you plan on having Magus die from the beginning? Would you "ever"
bring him back?

6. What was the name of "the lady in the lake," did she have a 'human"
type name? (like sarah or kristine)

7. Who do you think my favorite character is? (Hint: look at my questions)

FORGIVENESS PLEASE!!!!! I just realized that on my last set of questions I
called Brooklyn's mate Sata! ARRRRG! I'M SO SORRY! I know that really urks
you. I guess all those fanfic episodes are getting to my head! Well anyway
now I finally have time for all my questions. Thank you so much for
answering these if you ever do + everything else you have done! O.K hear I
go!

1) How long dose it take for a gargoyle egg to hatch?

2) Gargoyles lay eggs once every 20 years right? Well do they
automatically lay an egg after 20 years if they have a mate?

3) Or are they able to lay an egg anytime after their child has grown to
be 20 years old?

4) Where about do you see Lexington meeting his mate? ( I realize you may
not have this planned yet)

5) Are their other clans around the world we have not been introduced to
yet? (hoping for maby location of Lex's mate)

6) You know Tom? The guy who did the voice of Lex. Well I know that he did
the voice of Snap, so had he been tring out for any other parts that you
know of at the time he got the role of Lex?

7) He played Felix the cat too right? Tom I mean.

8) Wouldn't Brooklyn and Katana be ready to have a third child soon after
they returned from time dancing? Or am I over estimateing the ages of his
children?

9) Would it be possible for you to share your opinion about how the Trio
would have gotten along after the return of Brooklyn? I just have a hard
time seeing them when Brooklyn's already an adult with children of his own
and has aged by 40 years. Wouldn't it be hard for him to interact with his
two brother's, and his mate, and be a father, and be a good second in
command?

10) How do you feel Lex would have reacted,( if at all) to the fact that
his two brothers already had mates? ie. sad, angry, both?

11) O.K I've already sort of asked this question. So feel free not to
answer this. Can you please give any thoughts at all on Lex's mate? Built,
personality?

12) Do you ever see Lex doing any work for kicks outside the clan? Such as
maybe inventing or improving something that effects more than just the
clan?

13) Why were there no hatchlings when the Trio were at the castle in 994?
(they were 39 or so right?) So why were there just eggs at the time?

14) Alright this will be a run on question just to warn ya:) On Avalon it
looked as though Angela and Gabriel were a couple but we now know that
Angela and Broadway are destined to be mates. Was this just a false thing
I noticed? Or does Gabriel really like Angela?

15) If the answer to the last question was yes then will there be any
friction between him and Broadway?

16) Are all the Trio members going to have children?

17) Do you have any idea of how many children they would have in their
lifetimes? I mean each? Thank a bunch!:) (bows to the ground about a
million times) bye!

1. My guesses as to the seven survivors from the Arthurian Age in the
Gargoyles Universe:
a. King Arthur b. Merlin c. The Lady of the Lake (all three the obvious
ones) d. Sir Percival (I think that he's Duval's true identity) e. Morgan
le Fay f. Queen Guinevere g. Sir Mordred

2. I'd suspected myself that Arthur would visit Tintagel and Stonehenge on
his quest for Merlin (they're both places that I'd have thought for
looking) - and I certainly agree that the South Pole was a very unexpected
location :) I really think that it's a pity that you didn't get to make
the "Pendragon" spin-off; as a long-time King Arthur fan, I would have enjoyed
it - maybe even more than I enjoyed "Gargoyles" itself.

3. One thing that puzzled me about the episode "Pendragon": in it, the
Stone of Scone/Stone of Destiny was identified as the stone that King Arthur
pulled the sword out of to become King of Britain. What puzzled me was
that in Arthur's day (the late 5th century), the Stone was in Ireland (followed
by Scotland in the early 6th century), and the Sword in the Stone was set
up in London, which the Stone of Destiny didn't reach until Edward I took it
from the Scots in 1296. Was there a piece of the Stone's history missing
from the traditional stories?

4. When the production team first came up with Griff for "M.I.A.", had you
already planned for him to team up with King Arthur, or was that something
that took you by surprise? (I might add that I liked the notion; Griff is
my personal favorite of the non-Wyvern gargoyles - I quickly got to like
him in "M.I.A." - and I thought that he would indeed make a fine
knight-companion for Arthur).

5. Why was King Arthur not the least bit taken aback by gargoyles in
"Avalon Part Three" and "Pendragon"? Even Elisa was initially scared of Goliath
and Bronx, after all. Was he just very good at accepting the unusual
(considering what he'd seen in his time according to Malory and all, I can
easily believe that) or was there some other reason involved?

6. How did the two magic suits of armor get into the Hollow Hill to guard
the sleeping Arthur? Since they were made out of iron, they couldn't have
been enchanted by faerie magic, and human magic is forbidden in Avalon.
(I've got a theory of my own, but it could count as an idea so I won't
mention it).

7. What prompted the notion of Goliath having that little encounter with
Vinnie and Mr. Carter in "Vendettas", complete with the banana creme pie?
Were you afraid that the big guy was getting a little too solemn and
serious, and needed to be given a little comical humiliation to keep some
perspective?

taught, on Avalon or in the human world?

Hiya, I'll get right to 'em:

1) Why were there only a few episodes back home in Manhattan with the rest
of the clan during the Tour? I mean, Goliath, Angela and Elisa are fine,
but more than 20 episodes of almost nothing but them? That's probably the
main reason people say they didn't really like the Tour - in the big
picture, it was mostly one-note. Sorry, this turned into more of a
comment.

2) Besides the events of "Kingdom", "Pendragon", and that part of "The
Green", did anything noteworthy happen back at home? The travellers were
gone for months, after all.

3) If yes, what?

4) Off the topic, why does Goliath act like such a closed-minded, bullying
jerk in his leadership style a lot of the time (e.g., "Enter Macbeth"),
and why do the others put up with it?

Anonymous writes...

O.k heres some questions that have really been bugging me. I have been
trying to do this e-mail for a long time. I really hope you get a chance
to read this and respond:)

1) You said that Lex would be getting a mate in time. Will she be a
gargoyle?

2) You said that you had had different ideas in mind for Ransom but the
same basic ideas were there. Dose this mean that Lex and Alex were going to be
buds in a sense?

3) Since we know Lex will be getting a mate have you determined if they
will be similar in that they will both be computer geniuses?

4) Somebody asked you once if Lex would have had a mate befor the end of
the show. You asked which show? Let me try this then. Would Lex have started
to be involved with someone by the third season?

4) O.k, I'll try not to be to confusing. When we first saw Angela on
Avalon it seemed that her and Gabrial(sorry if his name is spelled wrong) had
something going on. Both when we were first introduced to the characters
and after they returned to the island for a second time. But Angela is now
with Broadway so was this relationship just in my head or was Gabrial in the
opinion that Angela and him were and item?

5) So you say that we missed a scene in Awakenings part 1# where Lex was
looking at a catapult or something. Do you know what he was going to say?
Just interested:)

6) You said that you, at the time, were not going to give any information
about how Lex met his mate because it was kinda complicated. Please,
Please could you give some idea of what you wanted to have happen? We know so
much about Brooklyn and Sata.

Bell rang! Thank you so much for all the enjoyment you have given me and
countless other fans. Oh and just for the record, when the show first
started I WAS in the proposed age gro
up to watch it:)

Anonymous writes...

Okay, time for a little "Answer Greg" section before we get on to the
questions. :)

1. You asked how I knew the title for that MiB ep you wrote. I really do
wish that they (that everyone, in fact) would list the titles with each
episode because I like to know, it helps catalogue tapes and discuss eps,
etc. But anyway, I found out about the title just by hearing someone else
mention it (In this forum, I think). Since I knew of only the one ep you
wrote, and it was about dreams, I put it together and guessed. I actually
still wonder how _that_ person knew the title, but oh well. I also made a
mistake in my comment about that ep -- it was the _gumming_ scene I liked,
not the icing scene. Wrong weapon. And btw, it's nice to know you're
writing more episodes. :)

2. The contest -- I may as well try my hand at it, even though my
Arthurian
legend is shaky. Arthur, Merlin, Lady of the Lake, Nimue, Morgana,
Galahad, and Mordred. Now comments.

3. I'd just like to say that I enjoyed the World Tour series. Sure, I made
fun of it in top ten lists and filksongs and such, but I really did like
seeing all the different clans of gargoyles (I loved the Guatemalan and
London gargs), and a lot of the stories were really cool. "Shadows of the
Past", for example. So you can add one more person to the list of people
who didn't think that the Avalon Tour was a mistake.

4. When someone asked you about writing, you said you started by writing
stories with your spelling sentences in second grade. I used to do that
all the time. :) _Now_ questions.

5. How old would Katana and the children be when they returned with
Brooklyn
from Timedancing? (This is my "again, other time" posting of this q.)

6. Many people have asked about where Avalon is on a map, but what about
New Olympus?

7. What were some of the things that Elisa retrieved from the ruins of the
clocktower?

8. Was Goliath the only person in history besides the Archmage to ever
have all three of the "ultimate magical artifacts" at once? Well, come to think
of it, he only had half the P-Gate, but that scene in "Vows" where he
walks by his entire collection to get the Gate just kills me. Especially when I
think of how sorcerers through the ages must have strived to find all
those things, and Goliath doesn't seem to notice the enormity of his possession
of the artifacts.

9. At the end of "City of Stone," Macbeth is holding an unconscious Demona
and about to drop her onto a jagged piece of metal to kill her. But how
can he be conscious if she's not? Was this an oversight, or is there some
reason?

10. Just a random little question. In the humanlike form that she prefers,
is Mab blue like Oberon, or is she some other color?
11. a. I suppose you probably won't feel like telling, but what was Arthur
doing looking for Merlin at the South Pole? b. About how long would Arthur
search for Merlin before finding him? c. If Oberon was calling his
children to the Gathering, wouldn't he want his _biological_ children (ie Merlin)
there? Or does he even know that Merlin's his son? Okay, that about does
it for me. Thank you!

Anonymous writes...

I know it happens a lot with a lot of people, but I still want to
apologize for forgetting q's. Ah well, just one extra post. 12 (or 1, depending).
Could you reveal a little of the story behind Oberon's and Titania's
Mirrors? Were they wedding presents or something? Who made them? And how
did Titania lose hers to the museum -- does she care that it's gone and
destroyed now?

Anonymous writes...

Dear Greg: In the episode "The New Olypians" when Borieus handed down
Elisa's sentence of never being able to leave New Olympus, he makes a
comment hoping she comes to enjoy her life there. Were we as viewers
suppose to think that he was interested in her and that's why he imposed
the sentence? Looking forward to reading your answer.

One more quick question: If a gargoyle is chipped or slightly damaged in
stone form, what happens when they wake up? To chips tranlate to scars,
or just disappear? What if someone vandalizes a stone gargoyle, such as
chiseling off just their hand?

It occured to me one day that alot more people like your show than I
thought. Have you ever thought about releasing your stories in a book. You
could fit virtually a whole season in what, 200, 300 pages?? Have you ever
thought about this type of media to put out more stories. You could put
out multiple volumes, of the different seasons and different spin-offs. THis
would let you get alot more indepth. You've probably though about this
before but I was bored and thought I'd post this. Would the money hungry
Communist a.k.a Disney let you do this?? Thank in advance

Please answer these few questions, I try to keep it short and brief. I
haven't had the chance to watch Gargoyles lately, due to work and all, so
please excuse my wording, for I forget the episode's names.

1.) When Goliath, Angela, Elisa, and Bronx end up meeting Odin, the
gargoyles seem to be fine in the freezing weather, while poor Elisa and
freezing her butt off. Then in "The Price" (I remembered, one of my favs),
Brooklyn complains about the cold weather. I am sure the Norse country was
much colder than New York, so was that just an exageration on Brooklyn's
part? (It's not an important question, just crossed my mind)

2.) Bronx is like a "dog-oyle" so to speak, were there any plans for a
"cat-oyle"?

3.)Goliath knew about Demona and Macbeth, but when Demona and Thailog fell
to their "deaths", he thought Demona was dead, but knew that she can only
die by Macbeth's hand. Was that a mistake that slipped by, or do I have my
episodes mixed up?

4.) Was there any more plans for Elisa to become a gargoyle again?

5.) Whatever happened to Vinny after he "creamed" Goliath?

6.) Why doesn't Talon seem to want to be human again? Thank you!

2) Who turned Odin's lost eye into the Eye of Odin artifact?

3) Did you plan to include any Hindu legends or figures in Gargoyles?

3a) Did you plan to include Babylonian, Pacific Islander, or any other
mythologies in Gargoyles?

4) Did you plan to have more gods or mythological figures of various
mythologies already seen in the show (ie Ancient Egyptian, Nordic,
Ashante) appear?

5) Are Puck, Anansi, Coyote, and Raven the only tricksters among the
Third Race? If there are others, could you name a few?

6) Would Brooklyn have traveled to any more contemporary eras (ie the
1950s, the Summer of Love, the 1980s) in TimeDancer?

1.) This isn't exactly a question, but it's really, realy interesting,
not to mention slightly terrifying. Check out this website:
www.xanatos.com/.

2. Is Demona's changing to human in the daytime just a spell placed
on her, or is it part of her genetic structure? (i.e., if Demona has a kid,
would they change, too, to whatever extent they would, depending on what
species she hypothetically had kids with?) AACK! Run-on sentence! Sorry!

3. What kid of big cat genes *were* used to mutate Fang, anyways?
There are no big cats in nature that are that color of dark, UNIFORM brown.

What did Titania whisper in Fox's ear?

Hello, Mr. Weisman! First off let me say that I think you and your
team vastly improved the world by creating Gargoyles! Also, I appologize
in advance if any of these questions have been asked before (I have been
unable to view the full archive).

1)If a gargoyle is killed at night, what happens to the body? Does it
turn to stone one last time, or just stay flesh?

2a)Since Angela and the other "eggs" were raised on Avalon by two
medieval humans, does this mean that they have been raised as Christians (even
very generally)?

2b) If so, what does Angela think about the more undefined "religion"
the other Gargoyles follow?

3a) Since Hudson has facial hair, but not the others, does this mean
they shave? ;)

3b) (kinda silly but...) Could female gargs have facial hair (beards
and sideburns and such)?

4) Approximately how many gargoyles (including clans we never saw
during the show) were there alive during the course of the show?

Hi Greg -- this may have been asked before, in various forms, but I
don't recall seeing it answered, so I thought I'd add you to the list of
screenwriters I've bugged.

I have wanted to write cartoons since I was about nine or ten and have
been writing assorted fiction two or three hours a day, ever day, since
sixth grade (I'm 22.) What specific advice would you have for somebody ready
and willing to produce a sample script?

I've been told to:

1.) Submit a correctly formatted sample script to agents -- which
leads to two questions -- A) What does a correctly formatted cartoon screenplay
LOOK like? I've taken a VERY unhelpful college screenwriting class -- got
an "B", learned the three act structure, and got a blank look and a "that's an
interesting career goal" when I asked the professor about cartoon
screenplays. And B) How does one find an agent knowledgeable in the
field? I have friends with "agents", and have heard enough horror stories to be
wary.

2.) I've also been told to move to LA -- which isn't going to happen
for health reasons (I have significant asthma and other serious health
problems -- smog can and has put me in the hospital) but *shrug* it's
only about seven hours from my house to Los Angeles. HOW important is it to
actually live in California? (I'm in Phoenix and have no intention of
leaving the perfectly good and interesting job I have now for a pipe
dream in Hollywood, at least not yet.)

3.) I've also been told to break into other writing fields first --
which is something I'm working on, without much luck so far. Do I have ANY hope
of getting a foot in a door without a resume of previously published
work?

4.) Finally, are there any books or other materials specifically aimed
at writing animated screenplays? One of my big questions is how much of
the action do I describe -- I know describing action in a live action
screenplay is a big No-No, but cartoons are a bit differant ... and nobody I've
been able to talk to knows the answer to this one. (I could cheerfully
follow the accepted protocols, if only I knew what they were!)

Anonymous writes...

HI Greg. I just have a few "what if" and "do you think" type questions
for ya, so please bear with me.
Do you think Gargoyles would have done better in the ratings
department if it were a non-saga type show? (Where all the episodes aren't
interconnected, and if you miss one you can get completely lost in the story line. Of
course this would take away the whole point of the show, but I am just
asking) I am asking this because of a trend I am seeing with series. Take
Batman: TAS and Star Trek for example; these show are somewhat saga like, but
if you miss one or two episodes it really doesn't throw you off, and the
fandom of these shows is wider, but the fandom isn't very strong.
Now Take Gargoyles and another pure saga show like Babylon 5; the
fandom isn't diverse but the fans of it are VERY loyal to the show.
(Would you agree with me on those last 2 statements?)
Also speaking of Babylon 5, are you a fan of that show, or have you
ever watched it? Because (IMHO) that is defiantly one of the best written shows out
there and ever beats Gargoyles by a good factor.

Hello Greg. Thank you for taking the time to help us. Here are some ?
that I would really be thankful if you answerd:

1) Is the Captain of the Guard one of Oberons children? If he isn't
then when Hakon asks him why did he betray his own kind, why did he answer
in such a serious manner that they're NOT his kind.

2) This is just my oppinion, but Yama and Brooklyn have some things in
common. They're both loyal to theire clans but somehow they betray
them to someone they thought they could trust. Brooklyn to Demona and Yama to
Taro. Could another thing they have in common be that Yama will (or already
is) the 2 in command in his clan?

3) Oberon became king when he got rid of Queen Mab (right?) so if
Merlin is Oberon's REAL child, could one day Merlin become King of Avalon?

4) You've said that, someday, Lex will find a mate. After that, how
many children would he and his mate have?

5) Before Lex finds the right girl, would he have shown any sings of
jealousy toward both his brother now that they all had a mate but not
him?

brothers are sisters unless they are 30 or 40 years older or they had a twin.
Would it be 30 or 40 years, I'm not very good in math??

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).

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

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)?

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?

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?

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 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)

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?

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?

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?

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!

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!

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...

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?

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?

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?
