Since you ramble on "Eye of the Beholder", I have a Silly question. Any reasons why Owen took the Commandoes' armored heliopter instead of the usual 'civilian' helicopter?

Greg responds...

In case there was trouble, I guess. But I hadn't noticed.

I saw recently the episode "Upgrade". My thought is:

1) Goliath must make a BIG choice
2) Brooklyn/Lexington/Broadway must proove themself worthy
3) The Pack get a *New* look
4) (In my opinion) The is the first step to Dingo's *turn Around* (Becoming a good guy eventually in the Matrix Ep)

In your opinion, is this a very immportant episode, A *Pivitol* episode, more so than, say Avalon Prt 1, in your views?

Greg responds...

In my view, they're all fairly pivotal for different reasons, many of which weren't revealed in the first 66.

But Upgrade had soeme good stuff in it, yeah.

But quantifying "pivotalness" i.e. Upgrade vs. Avalon 1 seems beyond pointless to me.

In Awakening Part one (and at the beginning of Awakening part two), Goliath was sure that those destroyed gargoyle peices he held were the remains of his mate. I get the feeling that the gargoyles had their own sleeping places on the castle battlements. Is this the case, or did Goliath assume that because he saw a few of the gargoyles destroyed, he assumed that the whole clan was destroyed?

Greg responds...

The former. With Demona absent, someone obviously chose to sleep in her spot.

After asking about Goliath having foreknowledge of the Timedancer, I got to thinking of other gargoyles with foreknowledge of someone's fate--Hudson and Demona. In "Vows", Hudson's old self meets future Goliath, and Demona's old self meets future Goliath and Demona. My question is whether Hudson and/or Demona ever truly realized that those encounters meant that Goliath would survive for many years to come (well, exactly how many, they couldn't have known). Did Hudson ever use that as a reassurance that Goliath would return safely from patrols or other dangerous missions--because until "Vows", Hudson knew that Goliath didn't have access to the Gate, and wouldn't be able to accomplish his destined visit to the past? And during all those centuries, did Demona also rely on the memory of that visit as a reassurance that one day, Goliath would awaken?

Greg responds...

Maybe. But keep in mind, until "Vows" they didn't know that Time was immutable. There was no guarantee that the future hadn't been altered in such a way that Goliath would never travel.

Certainly, when Hudson heard about Xanatos' wedding invitation, he had a hunch where the whole thing was going.

In 'Future Tense', when Goliath first comes into the city, the Talon-esqe soldiers blast a woman's cart and steps on a framed photo. correct me if i'm wrong, but was it intentionally implied that the girl was supposed to be a daughter of Chavez? taller woman had a similar outfit as Chavez.

Greg responds...

Yes, it was implied. That was our intent anyway.

In City of Stone 2, when Demona rip off the Hunter's mask, Gillecomegain shot something like: "Do you remember me? The boy you disfigured?" Demona said no. Did she lie or she didn't remember the boy?

Greg responds...

I don't think she knew who the hell he was.

By the time of "The Journey", have the public been informed that it was actually the Canmores who blew up the clock tower, and not the gargoyles?

Greg responds...

Probably, but that doesn't mean they listened.

Hunter's moon III-- the best episode ever made! I still like Goliath's surprised look in the romantic last few seconds of the episode. (save the best for last) I still love the goofy, lopsided grin he has on when he turns to stone after Elisa kisses him. Did you plan that, or did the animators just add it in 'cause it was cute??
NEway, on Toon Disney, on Friday the thirteenth, they have a Gargoyles marathon on. YES!!! WOOHOO~! I'm taping all of the twenty-two eps they're playing back 2 back!!!! Just thought you'd like to know!!!
*** Abbie smiles, scrunches up her thirteen-year old nose in a cutesy grin, and logs off, heading for bed... big science test 2morrow!***

Greg responds...

Both.

And good luck on your test.

I was just watching my tape of "Possession", and thought that I'd ask you a question about it. In the scene where Goliath and Hudson are talking to a "Puck-possessed" Coldstone in the clock tower (who dupes them into thinking that Xanatos is planning a fresh offensive against them), Bronx walks over and rubs affectionately against Coldstone's legs. Now, we know that Bronx is a very good judge of character, and from that, I suspect that he'd probably be able to detect the fact that it was somebody other than any of the three gargoyles making up Coldstone inside his body. So - does Bronx like Puck, or was he still under the influence of the spell that Puck placed on him while disguised as Goliath earlier in the episode?

Greg responds...

Still spelled.

In "the Edge," Goliath sees Xanatos on tv, and Goliath gets pissed off. He runs away, but where does he go? To be alone?

Also, we see him in the library. Does he break in or what? (I take it he doesn't have a library card...)
Is that a public library or part of the police building?

Greg responds...

It's a public library that's part of the same building as the police station. If you watch the episode, you can see an exterior diagonal pan from the clock tower down to the library.

He does break in, sort of, but it's not hard. No one bothered to lock the attic.

He goes off for a glide to blow off steam.

Where did Demona get her armour suit in "Reckoning?" Did she make it? Did someone else? Did she steal it? Order it from the Sears catalouge? (Help me out here.)

Why was her tail not protected? Was the suit deigned for a human? (I'm guessing not, there was a space she could stick her tail out of.)

What was she stealing from that factory anyway?

Greg responds...

She had JUST stolen it from GoldenCup.

Why didn't Thailog clone Angela or Bronx along with the other gargoyles in ''The Reckoning''?

Greg responds...

Bronx was never on guard. Demona didn't want Angela cloned and never released a mosquito while she was there.

Justin writes...

Dear Greg,
Here are some questions about Future Tense.
1)When did Brooklyn feel the need to don that armor? Obviously it wasn't right after Goliath left.
2)When exactly would you figure Lex would need cybernetic replacements?
3)I know the battle in which Broadway goes blind, but what's the year?
4)When was the Eerie Pyramid constructed?

I understand this was just a dream fabricated by Puck, if you could please answer it hypothetically.

Thanks a bunch

Greg responds...

But I'm not a big fan of hypotheticals. You're guess is as good as mine on all this stuff.

Kalafarski writes...

A question about Future Tense, a great episode that I recently rewatched. I loved your description of the Gargoyle Wind Ceremony....things like that enhance the depth of the series. But I wondered why no one performed the ceremony on Hudson's remains.

Obviously, it could have been a screw up on Puck's part, like not knowing that Demona had chosen Thailog as her mate. Then again, he seemed to know a lot about everything and everyone else. If Puck knew about the ceremony, did he think that the trio wouldn't or didn't know how to perform the ceremony? Or had you simply not developed the concept of the wind ceremony when the episode was produced (I realize that the dramatic element of Goliath's learning that his mentor is dead would have been reduced if there had been no remains). Anyway, just wondering.

Greg responds...

There were no remains. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Whether or not Puck knew about the Wind Ceremony (and I most certainly did back then) is immaterial, because in the reality that Puck presented to Goliath, Hudson had died years earlier. Goliath would have expected (had he thought about it) that the ceremony took place at the time of Hudson's death.

Perhaps you think that statue of Hudson WAS Hudson. But it was only a bronze statue. Metal -- not stone or sleeping Gargoyle. Specifically Bronze to make sure the audience didn't get confused.

Did Oberon remember to take Boudicca back to Avalon in "The Gathering"?

Adam Z. writes...

If all the Gargoyles have to do to defeat Oberon is ring a bell, then why didn't they simply do so during the Gathering. And why didn't Puck know that was his weakness.

Greg responds...

My guess is that (a) forging an iron bell is a bit harder than you think. And (b) Puck can't handle that bell or whip one up magically. And (c) I wouldn't be surprised if Oberon has a contingency for that now.

A question about "Ill Met By Moonlight". At the end of this episode, Oberon appoints the Avalon clan his "honor guard". Is this going to turn out to be a largely ceremonial function with little real work? I can't help but suspect this, in view of the fact that anything capable of seriously threatening Oberon, a fellow capable of swelling up to giant size, animating stone figures, and ordering the earth to swallow up intruders, (and I will confess that the only thing that I can think of in the Gargoyles Universe that could really endanger him at present is Queen Mab) would be able to easily wipe out a whole clan of gargoyles without much effort. (I do have the suspicion that Oberon's appointing the gargoyles to that position was more a matter of "practical politics" - giving them a definite role in Avalonian society - than a matter of "providing for defense", myself).

Greg responds...

Generally, an "honor guard" is by definition ceremonial. If not literal definition, then certainly by common practice.

So I agree. But it doesn't hurt to have loyal warriors handy the next time someone shows up with an iron bell.

In High Noon when Desdemona splits her self in three and says, "Even shadows must be true to thier shade". Her three images have the same different hair as the Wierd Sisters. Coincidence, I think not.

I think not too.

I was watching my tape of "Cloud Fathers" and wondered over one line in it. In the "Arizona - 1960" flashback scene, Carlos Maza protests his son's decision to leave his people to live with the "Waseshu". Who are the "Waseshu"? (I assume that it's a name for the people of Manhattan, given the context, but want to make certain).

Greg responds...

It's a perjorative term for caucasians. Or so I was told.

Hello, Greg!

About the episode future Tense
when Goliath "kills" Xanatos' perso, shouldn't it have killed Lexington by feedback (like it killed Alexander, Brooklyn, Angela and Demona?

Was it a glitch in Puck's illusion, or the Xanatos persona was a mere artificial intelligence?
((Next time, before Puck create a cyberpunkish illusion, he would gain to read William Gibson's Neuromancer ;p))

Greg responds...

Why would it have killed Lex? He wasn't hooked into Xanatos. He simply manipulated the program.

In "Bushido", when Taro is arguing with Kai over Kai's decision to leave, he reaches for a small gargoyle statue on his podium and tilts the head. Nothing happens, however (the one element in the gargoyle theme park that we see afterwards that it could possibly have triggered, the laser weapons firing from the cathedral towers and other such places, doesn't start up until some time later, when Taro gives the actual verbal order for it). What exactly was it supposed to do?

Greg responds...

I'd have to watch it again. I don't remember.

Okay, Hi I love your show and am currently watching City of Stone and reading the play Macbeth. But I do have a question reguarding the human statues.

1. Were the human beings killed and if so why wasnt there a news cast or some sort of uproar about it?

2. If they were killed then why is the lawyer couple Margert Yale and hubby still alive if they were statues, and I saw them as statues when demona was hanging on them.

3.

Greg responds...

1. There might have been. We just didn't show it to you.

2. Looks a lot like them, doesn't it? But it wasn't.

3.

Hi Greg! I was wathching "The Reckoning" last night on the family channel (Yay, Canada!)I noticed that when (Fang?) was in the cell beside Demona's, he asked Goliath a joke. I couldn't help but wonder, what was the second part of "How many Gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" Anyway, thank you to all of you guys for giving the fans a great show. Gargoyles is the best.

Greg responds...

Actually, I might save that for a contest. Thanks for reminding me.

Todd Jensen writes...

In "M.I.A.", when Una is attempting to dissuade Griff from going off with Goliath to defend London from the Nazis during the Battle of Britain, she says that she has "a bad feeling about tonight". That very night, of course, is the night that Griff disappears (thanks to Goliath and the Phoenix Gate, who brought him to 1995).

Did Una's uneasy forebodings have a prophetic element in them (given that she is a practicing sorceress), or did they stem purely from her mundane fears that Griff would be killed in the fighting, that merely seemed prophetic from the vantage point of hindsight?

Greg responds...

Both.
