Hi. Just wondering if you were thinking about introducing more Members
of the Third Race? Also, was who was Avalon created by? Did Avalon exist
from the start of time? Thanx.

Hi Greg!
Im sorry for not numbering my q's last time, but this round should be
better =)

1. Did Katherine EVER love the Magus like he loved her? In Scotland
and in their beginning years on Avalon it looked like she did, but
appearently he never told her how he felt?

2. Im terribly sorry for asking you to basically write a novel for me
in .txt format =P that was quite inconsiderate of me.

3. This one has plagued me for a while...and since you have never
given even so much as a hint to it I hope you are in the mood to answer it...What
was The Magus' real name?

3. A Gargoyles RPG would rule...have you ever talked to anybody at
TSR, now owned by Wizards of the Coast, about making one? Or does Disney still
have ALL rights held with an iron fist?

4. Why did Magus have white hair? He was only in his early twenties i
believe?

5. Magus ruled. You Rule. Any connection?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions....and should you
ever decide to make up some cool history thing on The Magus and crew..i would
certianly buy a copy =)

Greetings, Greg!

1. How did Demona come to be the Archmage's apprentice in the first
place? Did she approach him with a desire to learn, did he go to her, or
what? And does Demona have a special magical ability that most other gargoyles
don't, or could anyone be taught to perform magic?

2. Would Elisa become a famous figure as the Manhattan clan is exposed
to the world, known in history as "the woman who introduced the world to
gargoyles" or some such thing? I have trouble seeing how her
attachment to the clan could escape public attention . . . or her attachment to
Goliath in particular. I know you had almost nothing to with _Chronicles_, but at
the end of "Angels in the Night" Elisa is standing with the clan, right
next to Goliath, in front of a cheering crowd, and I think people are taking
pictures and everything.

3a. With the movie in the stages it's in now, is it reasonable to say
that the chances are great that the entire project could be scrapped
between now and the time it would get into a more certain stage (ie script
written, director found and actors cast, etc.)?

3b.If the movie is made, will Disney pound it into the ground as much
as they do with their animated films, like _The Hunchback of Notre Dame_
and _Hercules_ (with all the Burger King toys and movie trailers running
25 hours a day), or will it be less forcibly advertized?

4. How old would Katana and the children be when they returned with
Brooklyn from Timedancing?

5. Lastly, some comments. First I wanted to say that I loved the MiB
episode you wrote, "The Big Sleep Syndrome." It was one of my favorites, and
not just because you wrote it. I liked the scene where they were icing the
monsters. Will you continue to write episodes for the series? (Huh, I
guess it turned into a question after all.)

6. My next comment is on the Archmage's Time Loop. I lurked for a bit
during the Comment Room discussion, and read with amusement your repeated
attempts to explain the paradox, but it never seemed complicated or confusing
to me. Same with the MIA loop. (I always wondered why Elisa was having
trouble following when she asked Goliath to explain the whole thing to her
again at the end.) I've never had much difficulty in rationalizing time
paradoxes, and I tremendously enjoyed the few you wove into Gargoyles. Too bad
that they, shall we say, threw so many viewers for a loop. *grins at her
bad pun* Well, thank you for all your time. Until next time, farewell.

Hello, Greg!
I'll make this as brief as possible;
you have got to be very busy with all
the questions asked here!

1) Does Thailog want the clones back?

2) Does he know where they are?

3) Is he interested in recovering Delila?

4) I heard a rumor that Thailog would have been
the "main" villan in the 3rd (or 4th?) season; was this
true?

5) What were your plans for him as a villan? (i.e. would
he remain "evil" all his life, or do an about-face alla Xanatos??)

6) Who came up with the idea of an evil clone??

7) If Elisa hadn't been with Goliath in "Double Jeopordy"
and stopped him from attacking Thailog, would Goliath have killed him?

8) Was Goliath's comment about Thailog being an
abomination (sp?) the deciding factor for Thailog not
to "care" about his Father?

9) Does Goliath still (after "The Reckoning") consider
Thailog his responsibiliy?

10) How does Goliath feel about Thailog? (i.e. Sad, hates his guts?)

11) Thailog had to have known that Demona would eventually
turn against him (after he'd betrayed her); but he can't kill her. In
"The
Reckoning" how did he plan on dealing with that?

12) As a villian, Thailog seems to have far less luck then Xanatos,
yet he was trained by him, and has the same "smarts". Why does Thailog's
every plan collapse on him??

13) I know that the "clone virus" was a creation of the
third season, and that if you were able to continue the
series you would have to work around Thailog's "death".
My question is, how would you bring him back?

13.1) Would you bring him back?

13.2) What did you think of Thailog's "death scene"?

1. In his recruitment speech in "The Journey", Castaway used the word
"alone" a lot. Did you intend this as a deliberate echo of Demona (I
feel pretty certain that you'd intended Jon Castaway to be a human
counterpart to her)?

2. In your opinion, do the bulk of the Quarrymen realize that
Castaway's real plan for the gargoyles is genocide, or have they been deluded
into thinking that it's some sort of "neighborhood watch" organization?

3. If you ever got to relaunch the series again, which one element of
"The Goliath Chronicles" do you suppose would give you the most amount of
trouble in returning to your planned continuity?

4. Had Puck planned on making "Evil Lex" the villain of his "Future
Tense" nightmare from the start, or had he originally planned Xanatos as the
villain, and then changed his mind halfway through?

5. I noticed that, both in the episodes following "Future Tense", and
in your announced plans for the series' future, there were a number of
"Future Tense" echoes (the birth of Alexander, the destruction of the clock
tower, Brooklyn's TimeDancing adventures lasting for 40 years, the formation
of the Ultra-Pack). Were these echoes deliberate?

5. If Demona had released the contents of the plague vial, what would
have happened to Oberon's Children, the New Olympians, and Nokkar? Would
they have perished alongside the humans?

A few questions and comments:

1. First off, I agree that with you that the term "goof up" wasn't
quite an accurate description of how Shakespeare did "Macbeth". He had his
artistic reasons for changing the story (plus, James I was a descendant of
Duncan and Canmore, so Will obviously had to whitewash those two in order to get
the play staged :). I was just speaking informally. At any rate, thanks
for answering my question about how accurate Malory's version of Arthur's
reign was in the Gargoyles Universe.

2. Why was Oberon so upset about the scorn that his "Children" felt
towards humans that he banished them from Avalon for a thousand years? He
showed a LOT of scorn towards humans himself in both "Ill Met By Moonlight" and
"The Gathering".

3. Does the non-interference edict forbid Oberon's Children to meddle
in the lives of gargoyles, or does it just extend towards humans?

4. Where (generally speaking) do you see the cave where the two
archaeologists found Merlin's Scrolls in "A Lighthouse in the Sea of
Time"?

5. What places do you see King Arthur and Griff visiting on their
quest for Merlin?

6. What inspired the idea of the head of the Illuminati Society being
a friend of Arthur's? (If answering this question would give away
Duval's true identity, please ignore it).

7. How involved in the day-to-day work of the Illuminati is Mr. Duval,
in your opinion? (I'm asking this because I can't help wondering how
appropriate it is for the Fisher King - which you said that Duval was
- to be involved in such things as working with organized crime, running
the Hotel Cabal, or funding the Quarrymen. It strikes me as a real
conflict of interests).

Heysas, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Now for a
fewlittle morbid ones of my own. :)

1) How is it possible that the Archmage was rescued by his future
self? In "Long Way to Morning," after he falls in the chasm there is a distinct
noise of something like a body hitting the bottom, yet in "Avalon" there is
no such occurence. I think this may be where all those questions you've
gotten about a start to the timeloop come from.

2) In Puck's prophecy, how was evil Lexington able to destroy Demona
if she's immortal? Is there a limit to how much physical damage the
spell's hosts can suffer at one time before it unravels?

3) On a related note, just how strong is the link between Demona and
Macbeth? In "Avalon" Demona says that they need to get farther away
from each other to lessen the pain they suffer when the other is injured.
Is there a distance beyond which one could be injured or temporarily
"killed" and the other wouldn't even feel it?

I would like to thank you for both Gargoyles and for answering
questions. I only have a few:

1)How often do you watch Gargoyles

2)I'm sorry if you've answered this already, was Owen always Puck, the reason I ask is I was wondering how Puck was trapped in the mirror if he was? (I was never really sure)

3)Were ColdStone's gargoyle parts flesh or animated stone?

4)Which one of the characters from Gargoyles can you most relate to?

Mr. Weisman, thanks for answering my previous qs.

1. In TEMPTATION, did Demona choose to see Brooklyn because she knew his personality and thought that he would be the most likely to listen, or was it just chance, as Brooklyn was there?

2. What is the name of the Manhattan jogger?

3. How big is the Gargoyles Task Force at the time of THE JOURNEY?

4. We know that Xanatos is one of the lower members of the Illuminati, but in terms of influence/power etc. how do Matt and David compare?

5. This is big, but... *P L E A S E* tell the story about Coldstone in the Himalayas. Even just bit by bit (as with ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WERE THREE BROTHERS). Please?

6. When does the ?weird little 2-parter? that you have mentioned fit in with the current 66?

7. Is Queen Mab the same as the one Mercutio talks about in Romeo & Juliet?

8. You said that two of the new characters for the New Olympians series would be like Romeo & Juliet? Do you mean in similar circumstances (like the Cold Trio and Othello), a reworking of the story (like Macbeth), or just using the same characters with a gargs twist (the Children of Oberon)

Heylo. Firstly, thanx for making the greatest show ever aired. I don't
know how many others have told you that, but it's TRUE!!! (Just needed to
pound that into your head a little more.)Okee.. down to business.

1. As an AZ native, I just gotta wonder some stuff.

a) How far out of Flagstaff was the carving supposed to be located? The turrain here doesn't change for about 15 miles or so.

b) Was Beth's university's name written as University of Flagstaff or were you going to use one of the REAL colleges? (Northern Arizona University would be my guess, since they're the only ones with a pool)

c) Are there any real buildings used in this episode? Beth's apartment complex, fro example? (I know Pulliam Airport is real, as are the San Francisco Peaks in the background.)

d) Who transplanted all the cactus to northern AZ? (No, we don't have saguaros that far north.) Okay. Just wondering about that. :)

2. I've noticed that Gabriel looks a lot like Coldstone. (well now, THERE's a slaughtered quote) Is he Othello and Desdemona's biological child?

3. Are there any other blood-relation gargs I should be keeping an eye out for? (Ophelia's relations maybe?)

4. The series focusses on a lot of tricksters.. Puck, of course,and Anansi, Coyote, Raven.. any specific reason? Were they easier to develop plots with or what? Is it an in joke??

5. I've heard several versions about the "movie." Will it deal with Clan Manhattan, or some other gargoyle/s? And when will it be in theaters?? Do tell!!
