what happened to the Pack helicopter that Lex remodeled in"Her Brother's Keeper"? i can think of lots of times the gargs could have used although, i suppose they didn't have anywhere to keep it or the fuel, etc. to support it. so where did it go?

I've read that human blood is red because of the iron in our blood and the oxygen it carries react to each other. I assume that would be the case for gargoyles too, but what about the fey? Since iron is thier weakness, they probably don't have any in thier blood. So, what color blood would they have?

One thought of my own about the "fate/free will" argument. Somebody cited Demona in "Vows" as an example of this, arguing that because her future self who visits her in 975 is evil, Demona's doomed to become evil herself regardless of what she does.

Actually, my own thoughts on this was that the seeds of Demona's future character are already present even before Demona-1995 meets her. After all, she's already working for the Archmage, and stealing for him, suggesting that she'd started down that path already.

Another "rambling" on my part, this time on Future Tense and its relationship to the actual events in the gargoyles' lives after the Avalon World Tour. As we all know, one of the big questions in the fandom is how much the events in "Future Tense" reflect the actual future in the Gargoyles Universe, thanks both to the fulfillment of two of them (in a way) before "The Journey" and Puck's little "Was it a dream or a prophecy?" remark (although I think that that line of his was done just to tease Goliath).

Now, two "prophecies" in "Future Tense" were fulfilled. Xanatos and Fox did have a son named Alexander Fox Xanatos, and the clock tower was destroyed. But I'm not so certain that either of these are quite so significant. As Owen, Puck would obviously know what the Xanatoses were planning to name their baby, after all. As for the clock tower, the destruction of the gargoyles' home would be a natural part of any "gloom-and-doom" scenario for them (not to mention that in the "Future Tense Universe", the clock tower would more likely have been destroyed by Xanatos or Lexington masquerading as Xanatos, rather than by the Canmores - whose existence Puck might not even have been aware of at that point).

Two "prophecies" that seem to be on their way to fulfillment in the future, based on your earlier MasterPlan comments, are the Ultra-Pack and the forty-year separation of Brooklyn and Goliath (brought about by the Avalon World Tour in the "Future Tense Universe", by Brooklyn's Timedancer adventures in the actual Gargoyles Universe). The first of these, of course, can again be easily explained: the Pack getting upgraded again does strike me as something that anyone who had paid close enough attention to their past career could have expected. The 40 years timedancing is a bit more of a poser, but I imagine that if you make enough statements about the future, a few are going to turn out correct, and the only real similarity is the "40 years" element (and the number forty has long held a certain symbolic significance, anyway - the rain that caused Noah's Flood lasted for forty days, the Israelites under Moses spent forty years wandering in the wilderness, etc.).

(The irony is that Brooklyn's Timedancing adventures would have to be the consequence of Puck's whole "Future Tense" vision to begin with, since they came about because Goliath threw the Phoenix Gate away into the Time-stream, which he did because of the "Future Tense" vision; a good case of a self-fulfilling prophecy).

(I've also spotted a possible fifth "twisted fulfillment" of a "Future Tense" event in the outline for "Gargoyles 2198" that you posted, but I'll wait until after the contest is over before naming it and asking you if you'd intended it as such - you can, of course, in the interim, have the fun of guessing which part of "Gargoyles 2198" I had in mind when I wrote this paragraph :)

And, of course, the way that things were going by the end of the series (at least by the end of "The Journey"), I think that we can safely conclude that Xanatos isn't going to declare war on the gargoyles, kill Hudson at the cost of his own life, drive the surviving members of the clan into the Labyrinth, and take over New York (to be succeeded after his death by a traitorous Lexington using him for a facade).

At least, that's my own two cents' worth on the relevance of "Future Tense" to the future of the Gargoyles Universe.

Also another question, how did Demona buy her house? Obviously she can't go up to a real estate agent and ask if she could have a tour of the house.

Faieq writes...

I just recently saw 'The Mirror' and when Demona's two 'hired help' went to deliver Titania's mirror, the thin one said 'Who lives here Dracula's daughter?' and the fat one responds by saying, 'Relax, I've done this before.'
My question is what was he delivering, if he was delivering anything, before?

Emmle> My personal theory is that Titania said that Alex's diapers needed changing. Fox, never having changed nappies before, had the sudden urge to cry out: "Eaagh! *You* take him! Avalon's the place for him!"

(And, Todd, this is a joke - not a story idea: please don't delete it :-)

Anyway, I'd prefer if Greg never gives clues or reveals this particular bit of info in Ask Greg. Let's keep this tidbit a true mystery, the Thing That Will Remain Hidden even when all else is revealed.... :-)

Hey Greg.

I would just like to say that, after looking over your latest contest, you are a _very_ brave/devoted man. Thanks for another contest to keep us busy!

Why did Lex start a business?

Given the nature of your recent clues, I think it's time for a slightly cheeky twist on an old question:
In "THE GATHERING", how many words did Titania whisper to Fox? :)

Just a comment on the 2198 contest.
I logged in this morning, saw the contest, then I checked the asked queue. WOW. This is going to take a while to sort through. My thoughts went right to "Welcome to Wheel of Fortune!"
Anyway, Greg, may I buy a vowel?

Okay. I finally got around to ask this. [clears throat]

Do gargoyles need to go to the bathroom?

I figure, not. Since gargoyles turn to stone, stone should absorb everything and use it for energy. It would absorb the sun's rays and the energy the gargoyle got from the food he ate that night. Stone should use everything for energy..

Then again, I could be wrong, so I decided to ask Greg Weisman himself. [bows] So. Do they need to go to the bathroom or not? And if so, do they have to sneak into the police station to do so? :P
