What exactly is Fae (Fay)? I missed that part of the show.
Greg responds...
Fae is another synonym for the "Children of Oberon".

Thank you Greg, for taking this time to communicate with the fan base.
Your continuing interest in this series is greatly appreciated.
1. What do the Japanese gargoyles' names mean in English? (Kai, Yama, Sora)
2. Why did Thailog want Demona and Macbeth's money for (in Sanctuary)?
3. In "The Green," if Jackal had succeeded in carving Goliath's face into a likeness of his own as Goliath slept (like he planned to do) what would have happened to Goliath when he woke up?
4. Are you willing to tell us some of the times/places you'd have sent Brooklyn to (and any of which events in history his visits would affect)?
5. What is Delilah's intelligence level compared to that of the other clones?
6. Do Una and Leo know where Griff is? (considering he left England at the beginning of Pendragon)
Greg responds...
1. Yama means mountain, I remember that. Story Editor Gary
Sperling told me what the others mean, but to be honest, I've blanked
out on them. Anyone else know?
2. He wanted to be able to build a corporation to rival
Xanatos'.
3. Death.
4. I've mentioned a few already. Check the Archives. That'll
have to do for now.
5. None of the clones are unintelligent. Rather, their
education is extremely limited. Delilah was "programmed" with better
communication skills, but she's no more or less intelligent than her
genetic make-up allows.
6. He phoned them.

1)From what I gather on the Phoenix Gate, it is traveling
through time
endlessly, opening in random points. If my assumption is right
wouldin't it
eventually consume all matter within time?
2)Is there a limit to where the gate could go?
3) In the world travel parts, why is it that no one got any
exoctic
diseases? Most people have to take antibodies to keep from
catching those
when they go to place such as Africa and such.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Greg responds...
1) Why would it do that?
2) Planet Earth.
3) Elisa got amnesia. Is that exotic enough for you? Bronx
risked infection? I don't know how to answer this question, other
than to say that it wasn't a story we were interested in telling.

Greg,
I just heard that you and Disney are headed into some sort of
lawsuit. Does
it have anything to do with Gargoyles? If it does, is it
something that you
can explain/talk about? Thanks!
Greg responds...
Some jerk is attempting to sue Disney (not me) claiming to have
created Gargoyles in '93 two years AFTER I can document that my team
and myself created it in '91. It's annoying as hell, but what are you
going to do. That's all I know.

Mr. Wiesman,
A question about the limits of the regenerative powers of
the wierd Sister's immortality spell on MacBeth, and Demona.
What are the limits? This spell must have limits to the
amount of damage it can repair. By this I mean if in an
extrem if Demona took a direct hit from a nuke, I'm quite
sure she would be dead for good. I don't think the Wierd
Sisters had nukes in mind when they caste that spell. So
the question remains, how much damage can the spell cope
with before it's limits are reached? Another question,
does Elisa have a dark side to her, if so what would be needed
to bring this
out?
Thank you for your time.
Greg responds...
What does it matter whether or not she could survive a nuke if a
nuke never hits her? Besides, I'm not sure I agree with your
assessment. In any case, I've addressed this before too. Check the
archives.
As to Elisa's dark side... well, I guess we all have one. But
this is another one of those questions that would require a good 39
pages to answer. Not gonna happen in this format.

Hello Mr. Wiesman! First off, I'd like to start by
congradulating you on
the success of GARGOYLES. Second, I would like to ask your
advice on
something. I am creating an group of fans with the hopes of
returning
GARGOYLES to television. I was hoping you could give me advice
on
how we should go about doing this. Also, anyone reading this
who is
interested in joining please E-mail me at IAmKeevan@juno.com.
Thank you
for your time.
Greg responds...
Keevan, I've addressed this in detail all over the place. Check
the archives, newsgroups, etc. An organized and respectful
letter-writing campaign wouldn't hurt. But you'll need strength in
numbers. Lots of people participating in unison and individually.
Good luck.

I'm sorry for not numbering my previous questions, but i will
now. just two quick ones.
1) what's the story behind goliath's name, was there a story
behind it or were you just playing of the "david and goliath"
thing?
2) if and when the live-action movie comes out, would you like to see
the original cast or are there others you think should be in the roles? (i.e.
patrick stewart playing someone like oberon, i just find it odd that the
one how has done shakespeare isn't a part of the cartoon.)
thanks for everything!!!!!!!
Greg responds...
1) I wanted a name that connoted strength. A name that had a
certain weight. A name of some classic appeal. A name that we could
believe would be given to a tenth century gargoyle. Goliath seemed
perfect. I could just see humans naming the huge gargoyle Goliath.
They name him for an evil giant, despite the fact that this Goliath
protects them. It spoke immediately to the human/gargoyle
relationship. The idea to give Xanatos the first name David came
later. It was obvious. In fact it was so obvious, I hesitated to do
it.
2) Other than Goliath and Elisa, I doubt any of the other
characters will appear in the movie. Salli would be great as Elisa.
Keith would be outstanding as Goliath.

Greg- I just wanted to say that I love(d) your show! I don't
like to watch much TV, but I like shows that make me think. I could sit and
imagine stuff about gargoyles for hours! I think it can really make you
smarter to watch TV, if you put the show's messages to life! Anyway, I had a lot
of questions when I first found this page, but I had to wait and
try to read the archives first so I didn't ask duplicates. I can't think of
all of them right now, so I'll just post a few.
1) I read somewhere that Elisa's birthday was Dec. 31, 1969.
Did you write that, or is it just a lie masquerading as the truth?
2a) Is there any place in particular at Disney that we should
write to? Any specific department?
2b) Would it be helpful to write to Disney magazines, too, like
Disney Adventures?
2c) Is there anything that Disney stockholders could do? I
know a few. Would their words have more weight? Well, that's all I can think
of right now. I'm sure I'll be back.
Thanks for answering our questions and for creating the only TV
show I've ever become addicted to!
Greg responds...
1) I definitely didn't write that. In fact, Elisa was born in
1968, although I've never bothered to pinpoint the month or day.
2a) It depends what you want to accomplish exactly. I assume
(but am not really sure) that BVTV controls the old episodes. You'd
need a distribution source like ABC to generate interest in new
episodes.
2b) Again, it depends what you want to accomplish exactly. It
couldn't hurt.
2c) It couldn't hurt for them to send letters, I suppose.

Heya Greg. I love the show, man, needless to say :) Kay, I've got
some questions that I've had tearing through this head of mine for a while.
1) Those gargoyles that Demona led in Macbeth's time, where did they come
from? There seem to be an awful lot for a bunch of stragglers
2) How old is Puck in human years?
3) Okay, okay, this is WAY confusing: If Owen Burnett
revealed his real identity as Puck to Xanatos before the gargoyles
were even brought back to life, and he gave Mr. X a choice as either a lifetime
service as Owen or a wish from the Puck, why did Mr. X choose Owen?
Why didn't he just choose a wish to be immortal like he's always hoped?
It would've saved him a lot of trouble.
4) Why did Xanatos bring the gargoyles back to life anyway?
5) Why did Mace Malone and the Illuminati care about gargoyles, anyway?
6) Why does Bluestone care about the Illuminati? Just some sort of
compulsive disorder or what? :P 7) What does Coyote (the Trickster)
really look like? I've been wonderin' 'cause he's supposed to be
impersonating Elisa's dad in all the eps we've ever seen him in, so what does he
really look like?
8) Lastly, how did you come up with this show anyway?!?
It's so cool! Did you and the other producers sell the rights or were you
already working for Disney or whatever ...
9) BTW, when I grow up, I want to do cartoon animation. How do you
get into the business? Do you have to go to a college? My guess is you
do 'cause I guess they wouldn't just let anyone come in and start drawing.
Thanks, man :D
Greg responds...
1. Remnants from various other Scotish clans. And there
weren't that many. Less than twenty total.
2. Old.
3. But then he wouldn't have had Owen. He wanted both.
4. A multitude of reasons, but the most immediate was there use
as covert operatives for him. They were simply harder to manipulate (or
at least control) than he anticipated.
5. Another source of power and influence. Another random
element to control.
6. That, but also, I don't think Matt likes the idea of someone
controlling people's lives from behind the scenes.
7. How do you define what a shapeshifter "TRULY" looks like?
Do you know what Oberon or Puck "TRULY" look like? Or do you simply
know the form they most often prefer to take?
8. I was already working for Disney. Check the archives for a
more detailed answer.
9. School isn't mandatory, but I sure as hell recommend it. If
you want to draw, learn to do it at a professional level. Me, I can't
draw a lick. But I like to think I can write.
