A couple of final questions that I forgot to ask in my last postings
(I've got to write all of these things down BEFORE I start submitting
them:):

1. In "The Hound of Ulster", Rory Dugan turned out to be a
reincarnated Cuchulain. Just out of curiosity, how common a phenomenon do you see
reincarnation as being in the Gargoyles universe? Was Rory's case
unique, or are there others out there?

2. You stated once that you had plans to bring the Holy Grail into the
series. Had you worked out any plans to keep its presence from being
too controversial (given the fact that the Grail is traditionally
Christian, so that including it would be a lot trickier than including, say, Odin's
lost eye)? (I won't ask about the details of the plans themselves, just if
you had ever made such plans).

3. Was Diane Maza's story about the panther queen in "Mark of the
Panther" a genuine Nigerian legend, or something that the production team had
dreamed up?

4. If the series had continued, would the Loch Ness Monster ever have
resurfaced?

5. A few times in the series, characters mentioned vampires and
Dracula (such as Demona's thugs in "The Mirror" asking, "Who lives here,
Dracula's daughter?" or Princess Katharine mentioning that silver was a defense
against vampires, the same as iron against faerie-folk). Were these
foreshadowings of something that you had planned for the series, a la
Elisa's mention of Loch Ness in "The Edge"?

Greg, Do you think that you'll ever be able to make more "Gargoyles"
cartoons? I know that you have many more ideas that you would like use. Would you
start another show that is similar if "Gargoyles" couldn't be brought back
for some reason? Thanks,

Hello! Hope all is going well with you. Here's a couple questions:

1) After the scene in Awakening pt 5 where Demona tells off Goliath about the
humans and he realizes she is not the angel he once knew and tells her so and
goes to see Elisa, any speculation on what the other gargoyles, whom heard
the entire thing, thought about it, or spoke to Demona about it? [Hoping
for a cut scene here *laughs* ]

2) In the Eye of the Beholder, as Xanatos and Elisa confront Fox in
her were form, her eyes shift back to normal and she sees Elisa as her former
self, and then attacks her. Is this because the Eye is trying to completely
subvert her so it makes her want to attack her former self, some sort
of subconcious killing of her last vestige of humanity? I realize I'm
probably reading WAY to much into this, but just wondering if you had an
opinion. Thanks!

Hiya Greg!
I just have one question for you.

1)Who was your favorite chachter on the show?
Just wanted to know, but if you wish to keep it
a secret thats ok.

****With a the sound of a thunderclap, Blaise appears.**** Greetings
again, Mr. Weisman. You probably don't remember my last set of questions, so I won't bug
you with any references to them. Frankly, I'm suprised at how many of our
questions you do remember. I mean, I just read over the "Questions
Submitted" section, and I was rather suprised at the amount of repeat
questions there. So I guess that would make my first question:

1) How can you stand it all?! I mean, you seem to have a great deal
of patience with all these repeats. As for the other question I have:

2) One recent feeling among the commenters is that the Broadway/Angela
relationship (though good) seemed rushed. What are your feelings on
this? Do you agree, disagree?

I thank you for your time Mr. Weisman. Have a nice day! ****Blaise
disappears in a flash of green light.****

Hi Greg.
One question has been buzzing inside my head for the past few days so
I decided to finally ask you it.
I know that some people have asked you questions concerning any
possible religion that the Gargoyles may have. My question is slightly
different but runs along the same lines.

1.When a Gargoyle dies do the other's hold some kind of funeral
ceremony?

2.What are a Gargoyles beliefs concerning death, do they belive in an
afterlife as such?

Anonymous writes...

A few more questions.

1. How much of Demona's video in "City of Stone" would you have had to
watch and listen to in order to be affected by it? Would just a casual
glance be enough to petrify you, or would you have to look at an entire loop?

2. Can members of the Third Race be killed permanently? Both the
Banshee and Anansi were apparently permanently killed in the Avalon World
Tour, yet appeared at the Gathering alive again, which prompts me to wonder
this.

3. Bearing on the previous question, if the Weird Sisters were somehow
permanently destroyed (which, I will be the first to admit, is a very
big IF), would Demona and Macbeth still be magically bonded to each other?

4. One of the things that I've most enjoyed about "ASK GREG" is your
periodical mini-essays on gargoyle biology, culture, world-view, etc.
I rather like the fact that you actually extended the work of
"sub-creation" on them to such a level, fleshing them out into a unique "fantasy
species". If you were to ever get your "Gargoyles Encyclopedia" published (and I
truly hope that you do), would there be more information of this sort about
them in there (as long as it didn't give away your ideas for what happened
to Goliath and Co. after "The Journey")?

5. Thailog's alias in "Sanctuary" is Alexander Thailog - he thus bears
the same first name as Xanatos's son, and Thailog sees Xanatos as one of
his fathers in "Double Jeopardy". In other words, both Xanatos's literal
son and his figurative son have the same first name. Was this deliberate
on the production team's part, or just a weird coincidence? (If the latter,
I think that it's positively spooky).

6. Speaking of Alexander, was there any particular reason why the
production team chose this name for Xanatos's son, any significance similar to
making Xanatos's first name David (in reference to his struggle with
Goliath), say? (I have two ideas of my own as to why "Alexander" would be an
appropriate name for the kid, but because of the guidelines, I won't tell them
here).

1. In Hunters Moon, did Sevarius know that Dominique was Demona?

2. How did you conceive of the name Dominique Destine? I can only
guess
that it's a play on her conviction that she is fated to rule.

3. Who are Demona's future great loves? I'm assuming from your
previous
answers that you were refering to mates. Naturally she'd also care
for Angela and any of her descendants.

4. This is more of a comment than anything. Still, I'd love to hear
your opinion. After all that Demona has been through and the grief(that's
certainly putting it mildly) that she has brought upon herself and
others, I'm surprised that Demona isn't overtly suicidal. Hate is a good
motivator, but is it really enough for her to want to carry on. After so many
failures its a wonder she still gets out of bed in the morning, much less
continuing to plot new schemes. Ending it all would seem like a deceptively
simple solution and Demona's track record suggests a rush to judgement
without considering the consequences. I guess it all boils down to how
hopeless her view of her existance is. Considering all that has happened to
her just in the past three years, I've got to think that it is a daily struggle
for her to justify her continuing on. Especially now that her 500 year
brainchild was foiled. Even without considering all of Demona's
other reasons for felling miserable, there is the inevitable problem coping
with a neverending existance while watching those you love gow old and die.
Gargoyles grow old and die. That is the natural way of things. Why
should she be any different? At the very least, Demona might derive some
satisfaction, however fleeting, from acting on those murderous
feelings she has towards MacBeth. Oh well, I'm probably just being overly
pesimistic, but it sees to me that Demona would be near the end of her rope by
now.

OK, it's weird thought-association time, and although this is,

Was the BAD GUYS series concept in any way inspired by DC Comics' "Suicide

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"?

Anonymous writes...

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?

Anonymous writes...

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!!

Hello again! Before my questions, I'd like to make sure of something. It
is my understanding that both Oberon and Titania [poor spelling, I know)
live on Earth in human form for around 1001 years correct, OK, since that is
out of the way, on with the questions! (

1) Has Oberon's human form been shown to us yet?

2) If so, is he a main, suppoting, or minor role?

3) I know Puck chose the fore of Owen after seeing Vogel. What did he appear as before that?

4) Did Owen, Oberon, or Titania ever change forms?

5) Does Oberon's non - interference law apply to himself?

6) I know at least Owen con not [so far at least], but could a Fay use magic, either human or Fay, while taking on a human form. For example, could Oberon's human self be a sorcerer? In reality, human - Oberon is *real* human [it is only a self created counterpart], however would he still be considered a Fay?

7) If he could use magic, how much weaker would he be than on Avalon? I know Avalon made the Magus even stronger, so what wuldhe opposite effect be? Oberon did not seem to hindered in the Gathering, at least.

2) And I know this has been asked, but not to recently what happened to the Magus?

Anonymous writes...

Mr. Greg--Two questions concerning the skiff:

1) Did the skiff return the World Tourists to Avalon after each episode, or merely keep sending them where they needed to be (until Ill Met by Moonlight, of course, when Avalon *was* where they needed to be)?

2) Since the Guardian had been using the skiff every hundred years or so since his arrival... was there anyplace *he* needed to be? (The answer to this one's probably going to be a flat "Yes," but I had to ask.)

1) Elisa said to Jason Canmore, "there's someone else who wil always come
first" So did he know it was Goliath?

2)In our favorite Hunter's Moon Goliath/Elisa lovey dovey scene, she was so alluring. In all seriousness her sexy appearance with the eyes, the flowing hair, the deepened whisper, was whose idea?

3)WHile we're on the subject, who else contributed to that famous 30+ second Goliath/Elisa Kiss scene?

Dear Grag, I have been a fan sense the show started and I just love it!! I have also
been reading some of the third season redoes and I was wondering why you
chose to change the show so much. True! Some of the third season shows
where pretty bad! But others I REALLY liked! Such as Bronk's tail and the
one where Hudon went blind. I was really looking froward to reading then in
a good fan fic style but I have not seen any of them. Did you not want to do
any of the origanl shows? If not what? Are you planing to do some of them?
If so PLEASE let me know I really want to read them! A great fan,
