Hi Greg. I saw an episode of the Men In Black cartoon written by you
yesterday (11.10.98) (hopefully, it WAS you and not someone by the
same name) and I'm glad we can see you get into other stuff while Gargs is
on the backburner. So that's the topic of my questions..
1) What other shows did you write for? (including previous eps of MiB
if any)
2) Are you planning to write more eps of MiB or any other show for
that matter?
3) How DID you get to write for MiB anyway? Do they just take scripts
from anyone who wants to write them, or is it because Frank Paur was the
director, or what?
4) I know you're not supposed to read fanfic or stuff with other ideas
and suggestions in it, so do you go to pages that have only stuff from the
shows? Like screenshots, episode synopsis, and so on.
That's all I can think of for now.
Greg responds...
1. I wrote one Men in Black for its first season. I just finished
another for its second. I've also written an episode of Disney's
Hercules series. Before that, I wrote and produced on Gargoyles and
Goliath Chronicles. Before that I was an executive. I story edited
the last four DuckTales episodes. A long time before that, before I
was really in the industry, I co-wrote an episode of Jem & The
Holograms. Mostly, in those days, I wrote and edited comic books.
2. See above.
3. My agent helped get me the first job, but mostly it comes from the
long-standing relationship I have with Duane Capizzi, the
Producer/Story Editor on that show. Duane and I worked together on
Gummi Bears, Talespin, Darkwing Duck and especially on the wonderful
but ill-fated original development for BONKERS. Frank didn't know I
was writing the script until after I had gotten the gig, but he really
did well by it in board.
4. I don't surf that much. I've seen a few pages, here and there.

Is Desdemona directly related to Brooklyn?
Greg responds...
Not that I know of.

Hi,
1. Any new news on the Gargoyle movie?
2. You said that by the time Future Tense took place Xanatos would be
dead. This, I take it, means Xanatos will not become immortal, right? (darn)
3. Future Tense takes place in the year 2158 (right?) was there any
reason why you chose this date (significance?)?
4. Who or what is/are the Angels? What is the name of the force they
fight against?
5. Elisa's sister goes to Arizona State (their football team sucks.
Huskers #1) besides the events in Cloud Fathersis there any reason for
this choice?
6. Do you watch College football? Who is your favorite team? (Sorry
about this question but I'm hyped about Nebraska's National Championship and
the fact that I got an A in chemistry)
7. What was Xanatos' mother's name, what year did she die?
8. What country did Xanatos' father come from?
Greg responds...
1. No. At the moment, they're not returning my phone calls. Maybe
they're busy.
2. In my opinion, his character is dependent on his mortality. Just
as Goliath's is dependent on his Gargoylity, and Elisa's dependent on
her humanity.
3. Yes.
4. Huh?
5. I knew I wanted her at a Southwest school (reflecting her father's
heritage) and picked the state of Arizona at semi-random in "Deadly
Force," the first episode in which Beth is mentioned. I was probably
influenced by the mystery novels of Tony Hillerman. I think either
Lydia or Brynne must have chosen Flagstaff as the actual location for
the campus.
6. These days I almost never watch college football. If I do, I root
for STANFORD first, UCLA second and USC third. After that, I lose
interest. I'm really more of a Major League Baseball type of guy.
7. Ask me some other time.
8. Greece.

Hi, Greg!
1) Does Servarius know that Demona is Dominique Destine?
2) What does the title "The Reckoning" mean?
3) Who are Titania's parents?
4) Who are Puck's parents?
5) Who was ruler before Mab (Oberon's mom)?
6) What impact, if any, did Demona have on Xanatos' decision to awaken
Goliath and the clan?
Greg responds...
1. Maybe. Working with Thailog and Demona during that whole "The
Reckoning" period, he might have found out. Maybe.
2. Look it up in a dictionary. It's pretty self-explanatory. A
final calling to accounts so to speak.
3. Don't know yet.
4. Not saying now.
5. Don't know if there was a ruler before Mab.
6. She told him her story and how the Gargoyles EN FORCE would be of
use to him.

Hello, Mr. Weisman. Thank you again for this opportunity.
Before I begin with my questions, I'd just like to mention that
I saw the episode of MiB you'd written, and I thought it was quite good,
definitely one of the better episodes so far. Now, on to the questions...
1) What is Brendan's last name?
2) What is Taro's full name?
3) What is the name of Nokkar's alien race?
4) Is there a 'official' name for Xanatos's lightweight exoframe
(the one in
"Eye Of The Beholder" and "Double Jeopardy")?
5) After 'TimeDancer,' what would've been done with the Phoenix
Gate?
6) What are the names of some of the other alien races involved
in Nokkar's people's war with the SpaceSpawn?
7) In the Gargoyles universe, who created the Phoenix Gate?
8) What was the intergalactic war begun over?
9) Are Boudicca and Bronx related?
10) Would we have possibly seen the Sasquatch, Yeti, Bigfoot, or
the like in the series?
11) Would New Olympus be known to the human world in 2158?
12) In the Gargoyles universe, who created the Cauldron of Life?
13) In the Gargoyles universe, who created the Eye of Odin?
14) During TimeDancer, would there have been journeys to
prehistoric times, or the future beyond 2158?
15) After TimeDancer, would Brooklyn and family have stayed in
New York with the Manhattan Clan?
Well, I think that's already enough. Thanks again!
Greg responds...
1. I don't know yet.
2. Ditto.
3. Double ditto.
4. Lightweight Exo-frame?
5. Eventually it would have started its journey from scratch --
part of an unending loop.
6. Don't know yet.
7. I did.
8. Don't know yet.
9. They may be distant cousins.
10. Yeti for sure. The others... eventually, probably.
11. Yes.
12. Michael Reaves, I think.
13. Patrick Gilmore, then of Disney Interactive, I think. (I
know, I know, I'm being a smartass. It's Odin's eye. His parents, I
guess.)
14. Not the future beyond 2158. But sure, we'd have to do some
dinosaur action.
15. Yep. (GDW / 2-23-98)

Sorry, I have a few more questions...
1) What would have prompted Queen Mab to return?
2) Is Vinnie's last name Barbarino or Gregarino? I've heard both
used.
3) Was the spell on Goliath (from "Temptation") removed, or
circumvented? If it was only circumvented, could it be activated again somehow?
Greg responds...
1) Escape.
2) Vinnie Barbarino is a character from "WELCOME BACK, KOTTER."
Gregarino is a joke name I came up with. At the moment, Vinnie has no
official last name, though I might go with Gregarino if I couldn't
come up with something I liked better.
3) It was circumvented, which means that it could in theory be
reactivated. But not easily. (GDW / 2-23-98)

Greg responds...
Check the archives. I've answered this in detail.

Hello, Mr. Weisman!!!! One thing has been bugging me.
a)...Is the Isle of Avalon the only place where Fey/Fae call their
homeland...or are there any other places...the Isle of Avalon acts as a
person, If Avalon felt that its current Lord was going put it(the Isle) in
Jeopardy or the earth, do you think it will give him more power to do so...or like teach
him..Do you see what i am getting at...does Avalon have a right to say what
should or shouldnt be done...Or does it always even through the dreadest
times have to listen to her(Avalon) so-called Lord??? Im sorry if this is
confusing...its just that I am intrigued by this isle!
b) if you made a series spin-off would one be off Avalon
and its contents? ThanX!
Greg responds...
Avalon is HOME. Homebase. But obviously some of Oberon's
Children have their own local set-ups.
I never said Avalon was a person, per se. It's not that
objective a concept.
I believe Avalon works better in small doses, so there was no
specific Avalon spin-off planned.

1. Will there be anymore Gargoyle cartoons?
2. And if so when?
3. If not, why?
4. If there will be any new seasons will they feature my
main favorite character, Puck? (I really want some more Gargoyle cartoons,
please.)
Greg responds...
1. I hope so, but...
2. ...None are currently planned.
3. Disney doesn't see the profit in it, I guess.
4. Puck would have his appearances.
(And I'd like more too, please.)

Dear Greg,
First let me say right off the bat, thank you for helping to
create what I believe is one of the best shows ever to hit TV! :) You can
tell that to ANYONE else involved in making Gargoyles, too.
All of you deserve a giant KUDOS for your hard work! Okay, now
onto the questions!
1. Gargoyles is now out of production, right? So, technically,
aren't you out from under contract and could therefore read fanfic? Just
curious... don't worry, I have asked no questions regaurding any stories
that have been posted! :)
2. Were there any plans to expand the relationship between Puck
and "the royalty" (Oberon and/or Titania) into something more than a Lord
and servant relationship? This seems to be something many Garg fans
ponder...
3. How did the idea to use Shakespeare characters come to be?
4. Why was only first season released on video?
5. Were there any plans to devise a way to get Puck back his
powers and rights to Avalon?
6. Were any of the visions generated in "Future Tense" going to
be brought into the plot a little at a time?
7. Have you figured out that I am a HUGE Puck fan yet? :)
Okay, I think that's it! Thanks for taking the time to read and
respond to this! Best wishes!
Greg responds...
Thanks.
1. I've explained this a LOT. My contract with Disney was
NEVER what precluded me from reading fanfic. I don't read fanfic in
order to protect MYSELF from frivolous legal suits.
2. I'm not sure what you mean.
3. I love Shakespeare. Macbeth seemed ideal. The rest
followed suit.
4. The videos didn't sell enough to encourage the Home Video
division to release the second season.
5. Nope. I like his predicament.
6. Some already have been. Others never would. Others might.
7. Uh, sure.
