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 And it's moot now, because Dean's been replaced by another writer, Jim Kouf.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.

Hello Mr. Weisman. 1. You said that Coldstone and Coldfire would join a clan. Could you give us an idea where in the world that clan is located?
2. What is the true identity of Mr. Duval? 3. How long would Brooklyn spend in 2158 and in feudal Japan? 4. What does Macbeth do for a living?
5. When the New Olympians reveal themselves, how will the world react?
How will Nokkar react? 6. In 2158, what is the relationship between New Olympus and the human world? 7. How many eggs are ready to hatch in Guatemala? 8. Would we see Odin again? 9. What was Macbeth's reaction to Shakespeares play about him? 10. What was Demona's reaction to Shakespeares play 'Macbeth"? Thanks for answering these questions.
Greg responds...
1. Not right now.
2. The last Fisher King.
3. I actually haven't calculated that yet. I have a rough idea though.
4. Largely he manages his investments. He also works occasionally as a medievalist, and even as a stage actor.
5. With surprise to say the least.
6. Tense but peaceful.
7. I haven't counted recently.
8. Maybe.
9. He was highly amused.
10. Interesting question. Let me think about that. Ask me again later.

What were the original purposes of the praying gargoyle and the fullfilment spell? 9. What happened to the vial of virus the Demona created? Thanks for answering these questions. I really appreciate it.
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Plenty.
4. Not right now.
5. No.
6. Yeah.
7. Sure.
8. There's a story in each of these. I'm not prepared to tell them right now.

Dear Greg, Hi. I have to say Gargoyles is a great show. And it will be remembered. I only have two short questions. 1). Did you have any further plans for Owen? Maybe a life beyond Xanatos? If so can you please say?
2). What about Matt Bluestone? Did you have any further plans for him beyond The Society and the NYPD? If so can you give me a little hint to what it was? Thanks for the show and it will be remembered by those who take the show seriously.
Greg responds...
1. I did have plans for Owen. I had plans for everyone.
2. Including Matt. No hints right now.

Hello yet again. What adventures did King Pendragon and Griff plan to go on after they left the last time? I know you said the grail and Merlin, but were they ever to really achieve a goal (such as the "true king" returning..or playing a big role in the story?)
Greg responds...
Arthur hadn't thought past the immediate goal of finding Merlin. In fact, I think he was putting off thinking about it until he had his trusted advisor back by his side. The Grail was NOT one of Arthur's goals. Just Excalibur (which he now has) and Merlin.

Why do Gargoyles turn to stone? What's the reason behind it?
Greg responds...
Why do you fall asleep? It's a biological function.

I know you had no say in TGC..but.. in an earlier episode, Hacker called Xanatos "one of the Illuminati's lower members" implying that he was only in it due to his money (and obviously his trip back in time). But on a TGC episode, he h ad one of the chairs in the main council! What level of the society did YOU plan to have him on. Thanks...
Greg responds...
The stated implication is yours and not particularly accurate to my way of thinking. As you said, in my episodes he was a lower echelon member.

Mr. Weisman: How did you get Jonothan Frakes and Marina Sirtis to be on the cast of Gargoyles? Do you know what they're opinions of the show and their characters are? If so what are their opinions? Are there any episodes or characters that you regret doing?
Greg responds...
They auditioned, and we cast them. I wouldn't presume to speak for them, but I think they like the show and their characters. And no, I don't have any substantive regrets about anything we did in the first two seasons.

Greg, I have a few straight-forward questions: 1. What other projects, animated or not, have you been involved in in the past, or are currently?
2. I finally found the Gargoyles Movie...took 2 months special order...I noticed, which I think is from The Awakening Part II, when Elisa is in the park with Goliath, a jogger passes by, runs in place, and remarks that he's never seen that statue there before, this seemed to be cut out of the "movie". There was also a part I recall when Elisa distracted the people chasing her, and Goliath, away from Goliath, she took her jacket off and hung it on a branch to knock out one of those people chasing her, was that also cut out, or am I thinking of another ep? 3. This jogger, is there some reason he shows up in quite a few of the episodes? Inside joke, or something like that? 4. I've noticed on the mailing list that there are different endings for some eps, or minor changes...what are these eps?
Thanx in advance for answering my questions :)

1. I've answered this in detail. Check out the archives for this page. But the short answer is that I worked at Disney in development for @five years.
Starting with Duck Tales, I worked in some capacity on every Disney tv cartoon right through to Mighty Ducks. Before that I worked at DC Comics, primarily on CAPTAIN ATOM. Recently, I wrote a single MiB episode. My newer projects haven't progressed far enough to talk about yet.
2. I've talked about this before. There are two versions of "Awakenings".
The five parter that aired on television, and the "movie" version which was used for the home video. For more details, check the archives for this page.
3. Combination inside joke and the practical necessesity that we don't constantly design brand new characters for the sake of a quick bit. As time progressed, it became fun to see characters (even minor characters) over and over. Fun for us, and I think more fun for you all too.
4. There aren't different endings per se. There are a percentage of episodes that had to air with some mistakes still in them. Sometimes these mistakes were at the end. Sometimes they were in the beginning or middle. I think maybe mistakes at the end are more noticible. We'd always try to minimize any "damage" in post-production, but sometimes they just had to go out with errors. When the corrected footage came in, we'd replace the mistakes with the new footage for subsequent airings.
