Wow, that was some great writing in response to the question about why no one seemed to react to the whole City of Stone incident. Your story made it very believable why they wouldn't. But here are my questions: What if someone happened to be taping a TV show off the air when Demona's broadcast cut in, and they ended up with a recording of her casting the spell? Would it have any effect on those that watched it (other than really weirding them out for a few minutes, maybe annoying them because it ruined their recording of Gilligan's Island or whatever, but not turning them to stone)?
Greg responds...
The recording would work as well as viewing the broadcast for anyone who saw it before Xanatos set the sky aflame. The question is whether the recording could start the trouble over again after the sky was done burning. I really hadn't thought of that, but I have to assume the answer is no. Because a lot of people own VCR's, and if that would have worked, we'd certainly know about it by now.

Dear Mr Weisman, I would just like to ask you if Oberons mortal identity is Dr Serviaus after all 'hes got more lives than an alley cat' which was quoted in Monsters, and Oberon is immortal, and He quoted in I'll Met By Moonlight that all the children even him had lived among mortals, if his mortal idenity is not Dr Servauis who is it? Thanks in advance
Greg responds...
No. Oberon is not Sevarius. Sevarius is not Oberon.
And while I'm here: Bronx is not a dog. A dog is not Bronx. Bronx is a Gargoyle Beast. So's Boudicca. Gargoyle beasts and dogs have a few superficial traits in common, but truly a better comparison would be:
A gargoyle is to a beast as a human is to a chimpanzee.
And even that comparison isn't totally accurate. The lifespan of a gargoyle beast is the same as that of a gargoyle.

Hello again Greg. First off, let me thank you for answering my first question. I truly appreciate it. This question is a bit involved, so please bear with me. Is Demona's (and of course, MacBeth's) immortality spell blatant or covert? In the entire series run, one or the other was only blatantly killed twice. MacBeth was run through in "City of Stone", and Demona was hit with a (presumably) lethal electrical charge in "Sanctuary". Although Demona may have died in "Awakenings" and "The Reckoning", nothing was shown, so for the sake of the question, I will assume she simply escaped. To put it best, if Demona were asleep as stone (pre-"Vows"), and someone tried to shatter her, could they succeed? If so, would Demona simply reform later, seemingly unharmed? Or, would events prevent the man from smashing her (ie unforseen delays, sunset comes too quickly, he is distracted, etc.)?
Technically, both prevent her from being "killed", but one is far more subtle than the other. Now, if Demona's immortality is blatant (incredible recovery time), then why hasn't she used it more? Granted, she would still feel pain like anyone else, but why not wade right into the middle of a battle? After all, nothing short of a death-blow will even slow her down, and killing her only delays her and antagonizes her. Whether you can answer or not, thanks for your time!
Greg responds...
I love this question. I don't know if you'll love the answer. Demona isn't sure. Neither is Macbeth. They haven't been hit by something as catastrophic as a beheading (or whatever). Neither, at this stage, are that eager to test it. Now you might ask, why haven't they been hit by something that blatant. Good luck, or is the spell itself somehow preventing anyone from succeeding in that fashion (in a similar way that Goliath was prevented from returning Griff to Una in 1940)? Puts a wicked grin on my face just thinking about it.

If you ever had the chance to do 'Gargoyles' again, would you pick up where 'The Journey' left off (since it was your last ep.) or would you start after 'Angels of the Night' and the acceptance/acknowledgement of the our heros to the human world?
Greg responds...
A very good question. In my dreams, Disney comes to me and says "We want to honor the Gargoyles show by letting you do whatever you want at any budget." In that (completely divorced-from-reality) scenario I fix any little niggling things that bother me in the first 66 episodes, completely ignore everything after Journey and restart there.
But realistically, that's preposterous. GOLIATH CHRONICLES was out there on the air. "The Journey" was one of those episodes. How can I keep one of them as cannon and ditch the rest? I think I'd have to include Goliath Chronicles, but I'd do my best to minimize the "damage" to my plans. The "acceptance" in "Angels" would not be complete. It would be one step in a continuum. Basically, I'd have to force myself to rewatch the last 12 Goliath Chronicles. Identify anything that seemed problematic and deal with each of these things on a case-by-case basis.

Dear Greg First of all, thanks for taking the time to do this.My question is this, in Hunters Moon, we learn that the Hunters are descendents of Prince Canmore.But in City of Stone, part four, Canmore says that he has destroyed Demona's clan, and he thinks that Demona is dead.So shouldn't the hunt have ended when Canmore stabbed Macbeath.And anyway, where would the Kings of Scotland find the time to dress up in masks, and chase Demona all over Europe.
Greg responds...
Canmore had many children. Not all of them became king. In "City of Stone, Part Four" Canmore thought it was over. But he was wrong.

Hi there. You recently said that Demona is in for a "true epiphany" eventually. What exactly does this mean? Will she realize her errors or go mad?
Greg responds...
Maybe a little of both.

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.
