Here's a few questions that may have already been asked. I couldn't find
any instance of them in the archives, though, so if you've answered some
of them enough to make the answers come out your ears, sorry. :)
-[(1)]- There seem to be three megacorps that we've seen so far:
Nightstone, Cyberbiotics, and Xanatos' company (I don't recall its exact
name). Are there any others in the "present" world, or new ones you were
planning to introduce?
-[(2)]- Did Owen show his hand in public after "The Price"? {As
Executive Assistant to the richest man in the world, he can't exactly hide it all
the time without people commenting, could he? And I'd think it would be kinda
hard for people not to notice that the guy's arm is *stone* all the way up
to the elbow. I mean, that's not exactly normal. :)}
-[(3)]- If Obsidiana & Zafiro left their amulets behind when they went
to transport their plants (a possibility you suggested in "Ask Greg" a looong
time ago), then who steered the skiff in the daytime? [*cough*] Avalon?
-[(4)]- Is Alexander susceptible to iron like the Children of Oberon
are? He looks pretty calm around metal stuff. We know that Fox isn't weakened
by it, but she was raised human and Alex's only quarter-fae. And the
(non-garg) New Olympians spend all their lives hanging around huge
machines made of what looks like steel. [scratches head] Hmmm.
-[(5)]- Would Brooklyn's status in the clan have changed significantly
post-TD?
-[(6)]- Coldstone's 'flesh' parts are just animated stone, right? {Just
going over the facts, sir. :)} So instead of going through all that fuss
in "Possesion", couldn't Xanatos just have 'de-animated' the guy, picked
through and decided whose parts were whose, and reassembled them into 3
different bodies (replacing missing parts with machinery as necessary),
and re-animated each of them? [thinks briefly about how much work that'd
entail] Oh, never mind. :)
-[(7)]- Just how many stone bits would one need to bring back a
gargoyle? Are there some essential parts you have to have, like the head or
something?
-[(8)]- I'm confused. By "animated stone" did you mean that he's
stone-turned-to-bodily-tissue {that sounds horrible, but I'm about as bad
as turning a phrase as I am asking silly questions}, meaning he has normal skin and
stuff, or that he's living' rock like the statues Oberon enchanted in the Gathering?
-[8a]- (If it turns out the 1st is true) -- Do Coldstone's flesh parts
turn to stone in the daytime?
-[8b]- (If it turns out that the 2nd is true) -- Is he grey because
that's just the color that rocks usually are, or because that was
Othello's natural coloring {as seen in "Legion"}?
-[(9)]- Last one, I promise: If a rock scientist got his or her hands
on a gargoyle's pseudo-stone skin, what would he or she possibly think of it?
1. Not per se, but that's not to say that I might not have at some point.
2. He tended to keep it in his pocket, but he wasn't exactly religious
about it. I'm sure some people saw it. Most were too polite to comment.
Or too confused.
3. They probably parked it during the day.
4. Iron and Steel are two distinct things. I doubt Alex is quite as
suseptable as, say, his grandmother.
5. It depends what you mean. It also depends on how postTD you mean.
6. Yeah, never mind.
7. C'mon....
8. Yeah, living rock.
8b. Color of the stone.
9. It depends on what kind of tests he or she ran. If any.

I would like to say I loved the series "Gargoyles". I believe ABC's
cancellation of the show is the same kind of mistake that NBC did when
they cancelled "Star Trek". It was a unigue one of a kind show that offered
people a chance to look at things from a different perspective and that
that we should not fear what we don't understand. Now, if you don't mind, I'd
like to ask you a few questions.
1)Where did you get the inspiration for the character Angela? I've always
found her interesting due to her background and personality.
2)Have any Canmores ever openly defended gargoyles or expressed any
concern for them? If so, what would happen to them?
4)What sort of attempts have you made to get the show back on and what can
the rest of us do to help?
5)If the show went back into production, would any of the actors/actresses
be in it?
6)Since "Future Tense" was an "Escape From New York"/"Terminator" spoof,
would there have been an "ALIENS" spoof? 'Cause Marines kick ass!!!
1. Angela was a natural, almost automatic addition to the tapestry. She
was so right, she had to be created. There wasn't a single "inspiration",
unless you count Goliath, Demona, the eggs, Katharine, the Magus, and Tom,
i.e. everything else we had woven up to that point.
2. I don't want to say definitively that no Canmores ever expressed some
concern, but historically, I don't think you had a big pro-gargoyle
faction within the Canmores.
3. No number 3.
4. I've answered this before. Check the archives.
5. I assume they'd all be willing to come back in. It was a fun work
experience, decent money and a relatively benign time committment.
6. I don't agree with you assesment of FUTURE TENSE, per se. That is,
you're not going very far back. There are probably loads of things that
influenced all three. I do know that I didn't specifically base Future
Tense on Escape, which I've never seen or on Terminator (who's parallel's
don't seem that obvious to me).

Ah, might as well try these for the heck of it, if for nothing else:
-[(1)]- OK, -what- is Nought? {"Well, it looks kind of like a donut..."
"...it's that 'dude in the cape'" "....?" :P} and
-[(2)]- You're never actually going to tell us what Anastasia whispered,
are you? :) I don't suppose that it's too late for you to be holding yet
another unofficial contest or anything... ;D [hopeful grin]
1. Yeah, that dude in the cape.
2. No. I won't. Well, maybe someday....

Just one quickie: The clothing of the gargoyles, and anything else they're
carrying (swords, etc.) turn to stone at day. So, if one of them happened
to be carrying the Phoenix Gate at daybreak, would it turn to stone as
well, even though it is a magi
cal artifact? This one's been bugging me a while.
Accessories only turn to stone if the gargoyle thinks of it as part of his
or her "uniform". I doubt that would happen with the gate, but I suppose
it's possible.

Hey, I've always liked King Arthur Legends. Thats one of the reasons I
like Gargoyles. Last week I watched that NBC miniseries "Merlin" (did you watch
it btw?) and thought about the Arthur legends in Gargoyles and got some
questions:
1. I think I've figured out who Duval is, is he Mordred?
2. How come Merlin got out of going to the gathering, or was he there but
not shown?
3. Is Merlin's mortal mother someone we know of?
4. Contest about king arthur characters alive on show: a)Arthur b)lady of
the lake c) merlin d) mordred e)oberon f)queen mab g)cant think of another
5. Is the lady of the lake a fey and if yes why wasnt she at the
gathering. if no what is she?
6. Do you have a story about how excalibur got moved to New York? Any
details you can give away too =)
7. There was the stone dragon in the episode "Pendragon" but will there be
any real dragons in the show in either the the past or present?
8. What makes Alex, Fox and Merlin any different from the New Olympians?
you said both were hybrid human/fey.
Thanks for answering these, I know we can be annoying. Oh yeah you can
continue your "Once upon a time there were three brothers..." story
anytime.
Yeah, I saw Merlin. I thought it was spectacular to see, though I
found the cliffnote speed at which the story flew by a bit disappointing.
Remember the days when a mini-series like Roots or Rich Man, Poor Man were
like sixteen hours long?
1. I've all but given Duval's identity away already. So I'm not
going to answer this here.
2. Like Fox, Merlin isn't considered one of the Children of Oberon.
Which is ironic, since he's literally a child of Oberon's.
3. If you mean someone who's already appeared in the series, no.
But she maintains her role from Arthurian myth.
4. Nope.
5. She was at the Gathering. Look again.
6. Yes. But I'm not telling it here. Not a good format for
telling long stories.
7. Everything is true.
8. They aren't citizens of New Olympus. It's cultural.

Oh, mighty Greg! Would you be so kind as to answer these questions?
1. Will baby Alex age faster than full blooded humans (physically)?
2. Do you remember any more in-jokes, besides "jalapena"?
3. When the clan was gathered around the destroyed Hudson statue in "The
Price", reminiscing about Hudson's life, was that the Wind Ceremony you
were talking about?
4. Do vampires belong to a special race of their own, or are they just
humans?
5. In "Her Brother's Keeper", Lex salvages the Pack's helicopter and
rebuilds it. How could he get it back in one piece, add special weapons,
and give it a cool gargoyle-themed armor in just one day?
6. I was reading an article about the possibility that Nessie survived.
In order to keep their species going for 65 million years, there had to be at
least 400+ animals in that lake to prevent genetic anomalies that result
from inbredding and a limited genetic pool. So are there hundreds of
pleiosaurs in Loch Ness in the Gargoyles universe?
7. Could you continue "Once Upon a Time There Were Three Brothers..." in
this post?
8. Is there some kind of mutation in Lex that causes his eyes to be
larger than normal?
9. Do gargoyles bathe regularly?
10. Star Trek fans are called Trekkies. If you could take your pick,
what would you call Gargoyles fans? That's all for now. Thank you, Exalted
One!
1. No.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. It's not a race, but they're no longer human.
5. He had connections at Kenner.
6. Perhaps.
7. No. I'm not sure why. Not in the mood. It's been a bad week.
Maybe later. Thanks for asking though.
8. No.
9. Uh, sure.
10. My abject slaves. No, wait. Just kidding. That's a joke. A
JOKE. Geez.

Hiya, got another two for you.
1) How much damage can Demona and Macbeth sustain before they're
permanently killed despite the immortality spell, or is there no limit?
Would they still regenerate after being dropped in a hamburger grinder or
hit by a nuke?
2) What is Alex's level of ultimate magical potential under his own
(unaugmented by Talismans or the like) power, as measured against another
character of known magical prowess? Like, is it comparable to the
Archmage, or the über-Archmage ("Avalon"), or what?
1. I've answered this before. Check the archives.
2. Asking me to quantify things like this isn't too productive.
I'd say Alex's potential is very high, if he chooses to work at it.

1. Due to Elisa's words in "Double Jeopardy" about Thailog being
Goliath's son, what is the Delilah/Elisa relationship like, since Delilah is not a
true clone, but a blending of Elisa and Demona?
2. Do Elisa's parents know about Delilah?
3. And if Elisa's parents know about Delilah, what are their reactions to
her?
1. On that level, Delilah is Elisa's daughter. Demona's too.
How's that for a strange set of parents? But as a practical matter, I don't
think Elisa has much of a relationship of any kind with Delilah. At least
we never had the opportunity to explore one.
2. Knowing Elisa, I doubt it.
3. Good question, but we're not there yet.

Dear Mister Greg,
1) Where did the idea of the Phoenix Gate come from? I remember reading a
legend about it or something like it in school but I cannot find it on the
web. If it is an original idea I might have been mistaken. (You can omit
this if you post it but I wouldn't mind if Gore could relay the answer to
this small question to NickZane@aol.com) Thanks Greg and Gore for your
time.
1. Desperation. It was my idea. It is, as far as I know,
completely original. I've answered this in more detail before, so check the
archives, but briefly, we had a maguffin for Vows. I decided to make it
more than a maguffin by turning Vows into a time travel story and making the
Gate the means.

Hello Mr. Weisman During your last update you decided to start a little
contest. Here are my guesses as to who from the Arthurian Legends is still
alive.
Arthur(obviously Merlin(ditto) Lady of the Lake(ditto again) Percival
Morgana la Fay Nimue Bedivere those are my guesses.
Nice guessing, Greg. But, WRONG. Heh, heh. Ain't I a stinker?
