Just why did Oberon choose to start the Gathering?
Greg responds...
He planned it 1001 years ago. He was just fulfilling his own command.
Todd Jensen writes...
Is Queen Mab subject to Oberon's non-intervention law?
Greg responds...
Queen Mab is currently subject to a life sentence. Everything else is moot unless -- or until -- she gets out.
Todd Jensen writes...
About what time did Oberon and Titania get married? Was Shakespeare corect about them being a wedded couple during the time of Theseus?
Greg responds...
Ask me again some other time, I'm currently in a re-think on Midsummer. I'm not sure how it's gonna come out.
LSZ writes...
Just why did Oberon overthrow Mab?
Greg responds...
She was trouble.
Also she didn't approve of Titania.
Abigail Thorne writes...
How did Goliath and the others learn that Demona and Macbeth can only be killed if one kills the other? Demona told Brooklyn in "Temptation" how she had been dealing with humans for hundreds of years, and Macbeth told Goliath in "Enter Macbeth" how he had named Demona, which she herself said in "Awakening Part 5" happened long ago. So I get how they could figure out both were immortal, but how exactly did they figure out the terms of the spell?
And another thing--if they knew that only Macbeth could kill Demona and vice versa, how come they thought Macbeth died in the crash in "The Price" and Demona died in the fire in "The Reckoning'?
Greg responds...
From the Weird Sisters, after they were captured -- but before they were released -- in "Avalon, Part Three".
"The Price" took place before "Avalon". And they never said she was dead in "The Reckoning". Goliath simply acknowledged that he wasn't sure. I mean how many questions have I had to answer here about the rules of the whole Macbeth/Demona thing. If you all have some doubts about how that spell works, don't you think Goliath and Angela might also.

I was watching Gargoyles today mainly the "Cities of Stone" episodes. I noticed when demona was casting her spell she said to Owen when he was in a frozen state "You are the tricky one so we will make sure you stay put". Which makes me wonder, did Demona know that Owen was Puck? And if she knew that Owen is Puck, how long has she known that?
Greg responds...
Yes, she knows. She's known since before the rest of the clan was awakened.
There's a similar clue in "The Mirror", when Demona says to Puck, "You serve the human [i.e. Xanatos], you can serve me now." (Or something like that.

Hmm, now that I think of it, I'm not even certain if 'revelatory' is a real word...
Anyway on the Theseus business, something a bit less... deep: In "A Midsummer's Night Dream" it is said that Titania had an... affair (ahem) with Theseus - would you say that's true in the Gargoyles Universe?
Greg responds...
Probably.

Is the reason that Alexander is considered a Children of Oberon while Merlin is considered a halfling because Alexander is basically more powerful than Merlin?
Greg responds...
Who made those assumptions?
Merlin's technically a halfling because Oberon is his father but his mother is human.
Fox is also theoretically a halfling. Her mother is Titania. Her father is the human Halcyon Renard.
Alexander is technically a quarterling, I guess. He's fully human on his father's side and half human on his mother's side.

Hi Greg
Once agian I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to satisfy our enquiring minds.
Here we go. What does love mean to Titania? I'll ellaborate on what bothers me about her. We have seen in countless episodes how our villains' best and worst laid plans have gone awry because of certain factors were byond the control of the planners. Chances were taken, disaster was courted, and the scheme falls apart. With all this in mind let's consider Titania's actions.
In I'll Met by Moonlight", Titania exposes Obereon's weakness to Iron Bells to Tom and the Princess. She must have had some insite into their characters and was reasonably sure that they wouldn't kill Oberon. Still despite her fantastic judge of character, she is taking an enourmous chance here with people she hardly knows. What if Tom had to kill Oberon in self defence? Certainly she didn't want this.
Then there is The Gathering. Titania manipulates Oberon into a conflict with Xanatos that jeopardized the lives of two people she cares about. Renard might have died when Fortress 2 crashed. By the time Oberon reaches Fox and Alexander, he is clearly beside himself with anger and frustration. Who are these pitiful mortals to stand in the way of what he wants? A calm Oberon might not have taken Fox up on her "Over my dead body" vow, for fear of alienating Titania. Yet Oberon is hardly rational at this point. Again, these circumstances are beyond Titania's control. Sure things worked out for the best, but things could have just as easily goe the other way. What was she thinking in goading Oberon into this situation?
Finally, what of the many people who died in hospitals or in car accidents, when Oberon puts the entire city to sleep. Do they mean anything to her?
I congratulate you in creating so complex a character. I realize that on first viewing it might seem like Titania is on Fox's side, but as with all complex characters, the only side she is truly own is her own. Still if Titania truly cares for Oberon, Fox , her ex-husband Renard, then why does she envolve them in schemes that are so hazardous?
Greg responds...
You're assuming -- because she needed none -- that she had no contingencies planned. That's not a safe assumption. Plus, as far as "The Gathering" is concerned, you're taking her word for it that she had it all planned to go this way from moment one. She PROBABLY did. But that's not a completely foregone conclusion either.
Finally, I think that Titania is still a character in mid-evolution. You've never met the tenth century Titania. But keep in mind that in those days, she was LESS mature than Oberon, less responsible, less loving. She's grown A LOT. But let's not confuse a LOT with ALL THE WAY.

Hi! I'm back! Anyways, these questions are going to be on the apearences of The Lord and Lady of Avalon.
1. What's up with Oberon's broken nose? Can't he change it, or what? (I've heard a couple of theroies on this, but i want to hear it from the source.)
2. Why does Titana wear, forgive me, something so skimpy? She seems to have more self respect than that.
3. what's up with Oberon's cheek bones/ultra chiseled features? You could get a paper cut on them!
4. Did Titana always these sorts of cloaths, or is this a new thing for the Gathering?
5. Speaking of cloaths, What's up with Oberon's thigh high boots?
6. Did Titana inherit her coloration from her family or did she decide on it?
7. Is Oberon wearing shorts and thigh high boots or boots and pants that are tucked into the boots, or something completely difrent?
8. what is Titana wearing on her feet? I never got to see, even though Oberon has enough footwear for all of Avalon.
9. Did Oberon inherit his coloration from his family, or did he just decide to be blue?
--Nemi
P.S.
I Like Anubis too.
Greg responds...
1. Oberon has a broken nose? Don't think so.
2. She's got it. She flaunts it. She's not short on self-respect.
3. I don't know how to answer this. But I don't think Oberon would appreciate these personal observations.
4. It's her style.
5. Again, how do you expect me to respond? It's a style.
6. Both.
7. He's not wearing short pants.
8. Geez. What are you wearing right now? Anyway, I seem to recall she was wearing boots.
9. Both.
You like Anubis TOO? Wow, does that mean you like Oberon & Titania? Cuz I sense a lot of hostility towards 'em.
