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 :)
Greg responds...
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.

Greg if Owen Burnett has a middle name what is it? Just curious.
Greg responds...
I'd guess Alan. But I'd want to check that with Michael Reaves.

First, I'd like to thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us, as well as answering our questions! =D Now the questions! 1) Does Titania and Oberon have any biological children together? It would seem only.....well, proper to have an heir to the throne of the Fey and Avalon. 2) How did Oberon and Titania come to rule the fey? 3) Was there a leader before them?
4) We know that Titania married at least one human during the banishment, but what about Oberon? Thanx ever so much!
Greg responds...
1. Yes. Although Oberon doesn't acknowledge the need for an heir.
2. Oberon overthrew his predecessor.
3. Yes. Oberon's mommy.
4. He's not the kind to kiss and tell. Well, actually, maybe he is. But I'm not. At least not today.

Hi, Why are there so many male gargoyles and so few females? And how can lex wear that loincloth?? His wings go all the way down his legs how does it stay on??? Is it magic?
Greg responds...
Lex's wings are pierced.
Female gargs do seem to be rarer, I must admit. You could either attribute that to us Disney-folk not remembering to balance out the population. Or we could start attributing it to internal "universe" factors. In pre-modern times was egg-laying as dangerous for a female gargoyle as childbirth was for a female human? Is the ratio of male gargoyle births to female gargoyle births more like 3 to 1 as opposed to the nearly even 1 to 1 ratio we humans enjoy? Is there another possible explanation? Those are all real good questions. Let me give them some thought.

This is another one of those state of mind questions, and probably a little stuoid too. In, Paris just how far would Demona have been willing to go with MacBeth to convince him that she really wanted him? Or is MacBeth the type of noble who waits until his wedding night to consumate his love for someone? I know there is no way you would have gone near this subject for T.V. I was just wondering how low Demona sink to get what she wanted.
Greg responds...
Ever read "The Rules". I haven't, but I think they might apply to someone who's trying to trick someone else into marriage. For his part, Macbeth is an honorable man, but not a saint.
