This is a comment rather than a question and I was reminded of it due to E.J. Kalafarski's previous message. I've been meaning to congratulate you on the interconnectedness of all the elements in the Gargoyles universe as well as for the fact that most of the connections between the characters are given reasonable explanations and don't have to rely on farfetched coincidences (Charles Dickens-style...)
For example (to mention the characters that E.J gave) the idea that Puck was intrigued by Titania's role as Anastasia and from there on went on working for Fox's boyfriend, Xanatos, gave a perfectly reasonable explanation (not dependent on coincidence) on why two fay would be in the same area... Kudos for this and many similar instances...
Thanks, Aris.
That's something I took some pride in. Made some effort to make play well. But again, it wasn't that hard. It just seemed to work and make sense almost beyond my ability to control.
All of the following were discoveries more than inventions:
1. Fox loved Xanatos.
2. Fox is Renard's daughter.
3. Anastasia was Titania.
4. Owen was Puck.
It all just seemed right.
Hey Greg, just one question that's been bugging me. Did Puck in any way influence Xanatos's decision to hire Fox as the leader of The Pack? If not, then it's a pretty incredible coincidence that a fey and the daughter of a fey just so happened to come under the employment of the same mortal man. I mean, according to Oberon's law, there shouldn't be too many fae wandering around in Manhatten in the first place, right? I'm assuming something (or someone) led Xanatos to hire (and marry) Fox, which caused Oberon (who was only trying to bring Alexander to Avalon) to run into Puck. If this question has already been answered, I ask you to forgive me :-)
No, you've got it backwards, sort of. But it's not a coincidence at all, if you've seen "The Gathering, Part Two".
Puck became Owen because he spotted Titania posing as Anastasia. And he went to work for Xanatos because David and Fox interested him. They were already something of a couple before the Pack was formed. (Or at any rate, before "Thrill of the Hunt".)
Just one quickie:
What was Fox's occupation by the end of Season 2?
Full time mom.
Will Alexander by the year 2158 have a family (besides Titania and the possibility of Fox)? Wife, girlfriend, children?
Not saying. Though obviously, he'll have a HUGE extended family.
Last night, my wife and I went to the WB's fifth anniversary party.
I talked with Alan Burnette and Rich Fogel. Two guys who I used to work with at Disney, but who are now on BATMAN BEYOND.
I also saw a number of celebs, including the actors who play the title roles in ANGEL and FELICITY. Plus Diedrich Bader, (Oswald on DREW CAREY and Jason Canmore of "Hunter's Moon"). I also literally bumped into Shiri Appleby who's "Liz" the female lead on ROSWELL. And she was very nice about me being a clutz.
And, best of all, I ran into Jonathan Frakes, who's an exec producer on ROSWELL. He was terrifically charming as always to both myself and Beth. (Beth and Jonathan's wife Genie Francis were once in MOMMY & ME classes together after we both had our respective first kids.)
Without any prompting from me, he bemoaned the fact that Disney stopped making GARGOYLES. He's still a big fan of the show. We started to talk some more but he was approached by Ray Wise, the actor who played Laura Palmer's father on TWIN PEAKS. I left them to talk, and we didn't get to hook up again before Beth and I had to leave. (Babysitters, school nights, plus as glamorous as it may sound, I feel very out of place at this kind of party. Very uncomfortable.)
Anyway, I realize it's not much of an anectdote, but I thought you'd like to know.
Would Xanatos have eventually shown up in BAD GUYS?
Could I have stopped him?
Just out of curiosity - have you ever worked out what religion the major (or minor, for that matter) human characters in "Gargoyles" are, if on a purely "for personal amusement" basis? (I doubt that you were seriously planning to bring it up directly in the series, given how tricky handling religion in television can be). We know from Diane's "We can pray, Peter" line in "Deadly Force" that the Mazas have some sort of religious belief, and obviously Max Loew, his Rabbi ancestor, and Janus in "Golem" are/were Jewish, but that's as far as I can guess.
Matt Bluestone is Jewish.
Maria Chavez is Catholic.
Halcyon Renard is a Calvinist.
Petros Xanatos is Greek Orthodox.
I think that Diane Maza is a member of some Protestant Christian sect, but I'd have to do some research to figure out which one.
Peter Maza spent most of his adult life as a dedicated Agnostic. But since "Cloud Fathers" it would be interesting to see how that's changed.
I think Elisa probably has a background in Christianity from her mother, but probably styled her beliefs after her father. Still, I'm quite certain that all the stories her mother told about African myths and legends helped her maintain an open mind.
I think Derek Maza has a more Christian bent. Maggie Reed too.
Beth Maza's more likely to at least attempt to connect back with Carlos Maza's Native American beliefs.
David Xanatos believes... in himself.
Fox believes in David.
Have I left anyone out?
What would Titania's response be to Renard's death?
Sadness. Peace.
She'd have been with him, as Anastasia, at the end, along with Fox, Alexander, Vogel and Goliath. I had a story planned for the third season.
Maybe someday...
If this question has already been asked, then feel free to ignore it---I'll eventualy get around to looking at all the archives. (Wow, BIG archives.. 8)
What is David Xanatos's nationality? For that matter, his father's? (or, if it's easier, where his family originally came from 8)
Petros is from Greece. David is Greek-American.
Approximately how much did Xanatos' Gargoyle Battle Armor Cost?
I don't have any idea. A lot.
