In "Ill Met By Moonlight" Oberon said that he had hung around the mortals. How did he? Who was he? I sound like a dope already. I'll leave now.
Greg responds...
You don't sound like a dope. It's a good question, but a thousand and one years is a long time and so there isn't one simple answer to the question. Sorry.

Hi Greg, just to let you know, gargoyles was the greatest show on television and you did a great job on the first two seasons but the third was a little weak and lacked what you had in the first two, I know you didn't have anything to do with the second season except for the first ep which was one of three half decent eps of that season, anyways, my question, ok, in City of Stone Part 1 in the opening scene, the terrorist lady, she said, "Never, our cause is worth any sacrafice". What was the cause, it looked like it was a bank, i am a little baffled at this, it always makes me think when i see that part.
Greg responds...
The terrorist was hitting the bank to get money to fund her cause. That cause wasn't mentioned in City of Stone, because it didn't matter there. The terrorists' role was representative (of Demona). But that specific terrorist would have reappeared in BAD GUYS and her cause would have been revealed there.

Everyone is asking about the gargoyles, but what I wanna know is did you ever have plans to give Puck/Owen a lovelife? Thanks for doing this!
Greg responds...
Yes.

Hello Mr. Weisman. I would like to thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. 1. What did Macbeth do during World War 2?(I respectfully ask that you don't just say "alot".) 2. Everyone asks about who will be Brooklyn or Lexington's mates but the question on my mind is who was Hudson's mate and what happened to her? 3. Why did Xanatos have such a burning desire for immortality? 4. Did Oberon know about what the Wierd Sisters did to Demona and Macbeth? 5. Besides puting them in the BAD GUYS series, what else did you have in mind for Dingo and Matrix? It has been a pleasure to ask these questions and will be an even greater pleasure to read the answers. Thanks for reading.
Greg responds...
1. Well, you can ask me not to say "a lot", but it won't change much. I'm not going to sit down today and write a novel-length response to a question that took you ten seconds to type in. Leave it at this, Macbeth was on the side of the Allies.
2. Very good question. She died in 971. She had no name. She was a fierce warrior and a lovely individual.
3. He's afraid of things he can't control. He's afraid of death. (I can relate. I just seek for immortality in a different way. Through my writing and through my children. As long as I'm remembered, I live on. That's something David hasn't fully learned yet. But he's getting there.)
4. Not yet.
5. Well, I had a lot of plans for them in BAD GUYS. (There's that "a lot" phrase again.) Matrix had a lot to learn, and Dingo had a lot to redeem. And working for Robyn Canmore wasn't going to be a piece of cake either.

All Hail Greg! (Ahem.) I'd like to make this short and sweet so I'll keep it as brief as possible. It gets REALLY technical and. . .a little disgusting so bear with me. Whenever a gargoyle was shattered in the series (the killings at Castle Wyvern, etc), no blood/internal organs were present. I can understand why you wouldn't want to show such things in a cartoon, but I would like to know: Does the inside of a gargoyle turn into stone during the day as well as the outside? If so, how is this internal stone "shed"? If not, the lungs, heart, etc. would have to continue to function or the internal organs would die. This is impossible because gargoyles do not breathe while they are asleep. Or. . .perhaps you have an explanation I've overlooked. Thanx!!!
Greg responds...
At sunrise (more or less), the entire gargoyle body turns into an organic substance that resembles stone, placing the gargoyle in a state of suspended animation. The body does function to some degree. The organic "stone-like" substance absorbs solar energy. The internal biological clock continues to function. Healing takes place. Dreaming too. But to a large degree, a daytime gargoyle is for all intents and purposes a stone statue.
At sunset (more or less), the transformation reverses from the inside out, leaving only a shedable outer layer of "stone" that cracks off as the gargoyle awakens.

What hopes are there for a fourth season? and last question is do you have anything to do with "THE GATHERING" in June in NYC?
Greg responds...
No hope for a fourth season for this coming fall. But maybe some day.
I've been invited to come speak at the Gathering. I'm going to try to make it. Otherwise, I have no official connection to it.

Why was Lexington usally not the main character?
Greg responds...
Because Goliath was the main character. Lex got his episodes, and he would have gotten more. But when you have a large ensemble cast, it's hard to give everyone enough moments in the sun, (so to speak).

Someone brought up an episode called "Timedancer". Was this episode ever created, or was it something you were thinking about writing?
Greg responds...
TIMEDANCER was a proposed spin-off series that would have starred Brooklyn.
Disney didn't go for it. I suggested that the idea be incorporated into GOLIATH CHRONICLES. I laid out a story for an episode. It never happened.
They went another way, a totally other way, and wound up with that RUNAWAYS episode of Chronicles.

You said that some Comic universes inspired you. Is that why the Hunter reminds me of a certain comic book character (Azrael)? On the topic of Hunters -- how many Hunters have there been? By this I mean, ever, not named/seen.
Greg responds...
The notion of a universe of characters inspired me, ala Simpsons or Yoknapatawpha. Not any of the specific characters.
I'm not that familiar with Azrael. Is he the guy who was Batman for awhile?
I hated the notion that someone other than Dick Grayson might take over that role, so I didn't bother to read any of that.
I haven't sat down and counted all the Hunters. I won't pretend I know every detail about every Hunter. At least, not yet.

I am asking about the possiblity of a book. There have been many "Making of" books published by Hyperion. All have been of theatrical animated movies. I don't seem to remember any "Making of" books about an animated TV series. I would love to see a compilation of conceptual art, deleated characters, and early character designs, from the Gargoyles series. It seems that these books sell very well, so I was curious about the possibilities of you (Greg) writing a book.
Greg responds...
I'd love to. As I've mentioned before, I've been working on a GARGOYLES ENCYCLOPEDIA on and off for years. I'm almost done. A "Making Of" book or a GARGOYLES COMPANION would be fun too. I don't know how likely publication is, though. Maybe when the movie comes out. We can keep our fingers crossed.
