I have a question regarding the episode "Eye of the Beholder." When Fox
wore the Eye of Odin, it changed her into the werewolf(or is it
werefox?)creature. Was this simply meant to be a representation of the
huntress/predator side of her nature, or was it in some way a
manifestation of the kind of power she could have wielded had she been taught to use her
magic as she grew up? I ask this because most of the Children of Oberon we
saw in the series demonstrated an ability to change their shape, and of
the people we saw put on the Eye( Goliath, Fox, and the Archmage), only Fox
was turned into shapeshifter. Goliath and the Archmage only changed into a new
form when they first put the Eye on, and then that form was maintained
until the Eye was removed.

1. In "Vows" and "Revelations", the Illuminati symbol is a pyramid with an
eye on top - that symbol also happens to appear on the back of the
one-dollar-bill. Is there (in the Gargoyles Universe) some ominous
connection here?

2. In "Her Brother's Keeper", Xanatos had an upstate retreat called
Xanadu. Was the name taken from Coleridge's "Kublai Khan", or from "Citizen Kane"?

3. Why wasn't Lexington as upset about Angela choosing Broadway as
Brooklyn was? Was it because he was already developing a close friendship with
Alex, or because Brooklyn's more inclined to wallowing in self-pity? (Actually,
I think that it's a combination of the two, but I'd like to know what your
take on this is).

4. Your general disappointment with "The Goliath Chronicles" is well-known
(and an attitude shared by most Gargoyles fans) - but, did the new
production team do anything in the 12 episodes following "The Journey"
that you did think worked rather well or approved of? You did mention in your
last response that you rather liked the "Thailog's death" scene they did
in "Genesis Undone".

One more question. Since you mentioned in your last batch of responses
that King Arthur and Griff would visit the South Pole in the course of their
search for Merlin - what effect would the six-month day/six-month night at
the Poles have on a gargoyle's biological clock?

1) My thoughts on the Camelot Seven: Arthur, Merlin, the Lady of the Lake
are the gimmes... others I'd guess would be Perceval (due to other hints
you've dropped), Galahad, Morgana le Fay, and Nimue.

2) You've said that, in TimeDancer, Brooklyn 'never really gets ahold of
[the Phoenix Gate]'. So, then, how do his timedancing travels work, if he
doesn't physically carry the Gate? Or did I misunderstand what you said
and he *does* carry the Gate? 3) Another TimeDancer question: Is there an
average length for one of Brooklyn's stays in a given time and place, or
does it vary widely (i.e., a few seconds to months or years)? Thanks in
advance.

Very fast:

1) From ep 1, Captain of the Guard said inhabitants of Wyvern were, ". . .
not my people." Care to elaborate?

2) You've probably been deluged with Merlin stuff since that mini-series,
so more straw for the camel's back: Didja notice the uncanny resemblance of
Frik to Puck? Yowza.

3) Finally, my ideas for the Camelot Seven: Art, Merlin, the Lady of the
Lake, Guenivere, Morgan LeFay (pleeeeeeese), Lancelot, and Mordred, on the
basis that Oberon doesn't count. Thank you for your time

Hi Greg! Which gargoyles story would you have most wanted to bring to
life but never got the chance to do? In other words, if someone came up to you
and gave you the chance to make one more episode (and let's assume here
that any background info needed to understand that episode would be provided,
so that it doesn't have to directly follow the eps of the last season), what
would that episode be? Since this is a broad question, let me ask it in
more specific chunks (unless you want to describe the whole ep, which I
wouldn't mind at all).
1) Which characters would it center around?
2) Which spinoff would it be in (i.e. Dark Ages, TimeDancer, etc.)
3) What would the main plot points be? *note: if you have no specific answers
for any of the above Q's, could you at least provide us with a general idea of
the one story you'd most like to create? Thanks!

First off, I have to tell you that I really appreciated the recaps in the
beginning of each episode. I only saw gargoyles every saturday, and thus
the continuity got completely screwed, and episodes were shown in a random
order. Plus, I was rather disappointed with the flying steel monsters in
"Awakenings" and the way the trio was portrayed in "Thrill of the Hunt" so
the show didn't hook me immediately. (I did like Part 1 and 2 of
awakenings) However, watching "Eye of the Storm" one morning got me completely hooked,
and soon I was scrambling to recover what I had been missing. (I still
have yet to see "The Mirror", "The Price", "Turf", and "City of Stone Pt 1."
Since all most of my questions have been asked for mine will be rather
brief.

1. Thailog seems to hold a lot of anger towards Angela, is this because
of Goliath's seeming acceptance of her and Goliath's rejection of him?

2. Did Thailog create any clones of Bronx? I would think that he would be
most inclined to have servants that were not intelligent enough to outgrow
their programming (and thus turn on him).

3. Did Thailog Clone more than one copy of each gargoyle?

4. My guesses for those still alive from the Arthurian period? Arthur,
Merlin, Lady of the Lake (thanks for the gimmes) Lancelot, The Green
Knight, Morgana la Fay, and taking a shot in the dark... mmm... Galahad?

****Blaise crashes through the door.**** Sorry, I'll fix that. Well,
first I wanted to say that I agree with you; the Broadway/Angela relationship
was not rushed. Next, I have a question:

1) When you went through all the Shakespeare plays, you listed MERCHANT OF
VENICE as problematic. Care to expand on that? I ask this because I had
the pleasure of portraying Shylock (an excellent character, in my opinion)
in a production of that play, and I am interested to hear what others
think of it.

2) My second question deals with the Arthurian guessing game (all my ideas
have already been listed, but I'll do them anyway); Are the survivors
Arthur, Merlin, the Lady of the Lake, Percival (sp?), Nimue, Morgan la
Fey, and Bedivere? (NOTE: I would have put "Blaise" on that list, but he is
not as famous or wide-spread a character of Arthurian legends as the rest of
them are) Well, that's about it. Oh, BTW, you're explanation on Hudson's
accent was great. It really makes a lot of sense to me why you did it
that way. Have a nice day! ****Blaise fixes the door on his way out.****

Hi there, hope things are OK with you. 1) My vote for the seven
'Arthurians' would be Arthur, Merlin, Guenever, Nimue, Gawain, Morgan le Fay and
Mordred. I left out Launcelot as I think it would make for better stories without,
but I can't say why due to the rules. Fame ? Glory ? as it's 'Ask Greg'
not 'Tell Greg' I suppose I'd better try a question ummm..... 2) I thought
that the portrayal of Anubis was great and very thought provoking, did you have
any plans to use any of the ancient Egyptian myths or make use of the Gods
and Goddesses ?

Just a few questions this time around. Heh heh, my definition of a few.
Mr. Greg Weisman, 1)How tall is: a)Puck, b)Owen, c)Macbeth, d)Demona, e)Fox,
and last but not least f)Xanatos? But Puck and Owen most specifically.

2)Whats the name of that Cloth piece in Pucks outfit, held up by the
broache and forming the skirt-like thing? No one seems ta know that I've asked,
people have said Sash-which would be his cloth belt, Tunic-which is more
like his shirt, and even Toga which is wayyy to big. Please please tell
me.

3)People have asked, what character you relate to the most.... but my
question is, Which was the most fun for you to write for?

4)Why do Gargoyle Loincloths turn to stone. You must have a reason
whether it be magical etc.

5)Is Owen vunerable to iron in the same context as fae? Or is he so
perfectly Human that he can handle it the same as any other normal person?

6)Was it Owen or Puck that first met Demona? If Puck, when? Be as
specific as ya want, I'd settle for the decade or century even.

7)Xanatos' reaction when meeting Goliath was like he was expecting it,
which he was. But how did he react when he first met Demona?

8)a)Did you ever plan on teaming up any of the tricksters? b) If so whom?

9)Do you ever plan on revealing what Titania said to Fox in the forseeable
future? just wondering if theres *any* hope in knowing.

10)What other business rivals would Xanatos have aquired?

11)You mentioned before, that Titania had become... lets say wiser in a
way than Oberon, because Oberon never changed over the Millienium. Well Puck
seems to be a very everchanging Character, exactly how much *wisdom* does
he have? And how much do you think he'd actually take his own advice?

12)Duh duh duhhhhnnn the Puck family question! Does Puck have a mother or
father currently living on Avalon? yeah yeah yeah, all I wanna know
basically is if they're still alive.

13)Did Puck
