1) Is Preston Vogel a native-born American?

2) Does he have Sephardic or Ashkenazic roots? (If he isn't a convert, that is.)

How did Matt first learn about the Illuminati's existence?

Is any of the main characters currently a member of a organization, fan-, or social club? (Other than the Illuminati Society, Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, Quarrymen, and Young Ganymede [smirk], I mean.)

Was any of the main characters a member of a scouting organization?

I know you've asked that there be "no more food questions", but hey, it's been a while... ^_^
1) Are any of the characters we know vegetarian? Elisa certainly isn't, and (judging from the contents of his walk-in freezer) neither is Xanatos.
2) Do Matt and Preston observe the laws of Kashrut?

1) What does Travis Marshall think of gargoyles?

2) Does he think gargoyles are monsters and deserve to be destroyed or does he have a unique opinion about gargoyles?

Quite some time ago you told us some of the religions of the humans and you asked whether you'd missed anyone. No-one major, but I was just wondering if you've given any thought in the religions of the following people:

1)Margot Yale

2)Brendan

3)Officer Morgan

4)Fara Maku

5)Taya

6)Taoro

7)The Emir

8)Travis Marshall?

I know most of these are very minor characters and that you probably haven't given any thought into them, but I was just wondering.

Sapphire writes...

In the episode the journey Vinnie saved Goliath and Elisa from being killed by Jon Castaway and was given a job in Japan by an unknown man most likely being Taro. My Question is since Vinnie made peace with Goliath would Vinnie cause problems for Taro in his evil plans for the Ishimera clan?

was matt bluestone ever going to have a significant other? he is probably my favirote human character on the show, but besides his FBI past, NYPD present and Illuminati future you never seemed to go very far into his personal life. did you plan to?

matt writes...

why was matt b. made head of the gargoyles task force? wasn't there anyone else more qualified? you know with the FBI, NYPD, Illuminati, Recap operator, and head of this task force, matt has had a busy career!!!

Joxter writes...

Sooo... Why *was* Margot Yale in Paris? Coincidentally at about the same time as the Avalon tour group?

Faieq writes...

1)Do you plan on having Brendan and Margot Yale a 'til death do we part' couple? The only time we see them is when they go out, but who knows what happens when their at home? Actually I'm guessing you probably do know what they are like at home, and I'm also guessing that their behaviour is no different to when they are out on the streets.
2)Will they ever have any children?

Greg, I have a minor interest in geneology. Could you please clarify for me what nationalities the following characters are:
1) Elisa, half African-American, half Native American.
2) Xanatos, Greek
3) Matt, I don't know
4) Fox--- well, her dad's probably French and her mom's a fairy...
5) Maria Chavez, Spanish

Could you help me here?

As much as I loathe the idea of a "Subway Series," I nevertheless find myself interested in the answer to the following question. Given that Gargoyles is set primarily in New York (the only place where anyone could possibly care about the outcome of a Subway Series), are the following characters Mets fans or Yankee fans:
1. Elisa
2. Xanatos
3. Matt
4. Owen
5. Goliath
6. Demona
7. Macbeth

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.

Ed writes...

Watched "HUNTER'S MOON" and "THE JOURNEY" back-to-back recently and noticed that Maria Chavez was titled (on her door) as 'Chief of Detectives' and 'Chief of Police' (although I can't remember which was in which episode). Which is she?

Ed writes...

What are the names of the others in the Chavez family?

And what was Maria Chavez's maiden name?

Ed writes...

If you had made one of the spin-offs, would you have used the same recurring background characters (Brendan, Margot, Vinnie etc.) where appropriate (i.e. in the spin-offs where they're still alive)?? If you didn't use these characters, would you make new characters? The equivalents for Arthur and Griff to keep running into for example?

Sapphire writes...

Billy and Susan's mother the woman who first appeared the episode the pack where she had the feeling that the gargoyles might be real then in the episode the journey she joined the Quarrymen in the feeling that she had to protect her children from the gargoyles and quickly became one of the gargoyles deadliest enemies. I was wondering if the gargoyles cartoon show continued would Susan and billy's mother ever change her views on the gargoyles and be like Vinnie and make peace with them or would she be a Quarrywoman for the rest of her life. I didn't like her that much and I was hoping after the episode the Journey that she would have gotten herself killed.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!! THANK YOU for the extra scene from THE JOURNEY! Captain Chavez's return--with cast and crutches no less (gawd, how I missed that continuity in TGC).
Granted, it isn't really essential to the plot, but it does a bit to flesh out some more of the offscreen events going around.

The only real question in regards to this is...just how long can Matt and Elisa keep their connection to the gargoyles secret from Capt. Chavez?

Thanks again!

Blaise writes...

Well, since as of this writing you only have three days of questions to answer, I think I'll remake my request made WAY back when the new archive first opened:

May we please read the scene between Capt. Chavez and Bluestone that was deleted from "The Journey"?

Thank you!

Ed writes...

Would Matt have much success long-term in his dealings with the Illuminati. I mean, one conspiracy nut against an organisation that's a millennium and a half old doesn't lend him much of an advantage. Would he ever really expose them?

DrFaust writes...

Hi, Greg.

While explaining E&G's burgeoning romance, you said this about the "double date": "She would accept a Halloween invitation to go out with either Morgan or Jason."

I have a strange compulsion to go "eww." Morgan? I've always gotten a father-figure vibe from him for some reason. It's not that he's older than Elisa (he is, isn't he?), just that Morgan always struck me as having a more paternal attitude towards Elisa.

Have I completely misread the situation?

Todd Jensen writes...

A fresh Vinnie question. It's customary among Gargoyles fans to cite, as one of the reasons for Vinnie being an oddball, the fact that he gives his banana cream pie-gun a name (Mr. Carter). But recently, I found myself wondering if that really was quite so oddball.

After all, back in the period of myth and legend, most "magical weapons" were given names - the obvious case being King Arthur's Excalibur, but with many other examples (Odin's spear Gungnir, Thor's hammer Mjolnir, Roland's sword Durendal, Cuchulain's spear Gae Bolga, etc.) That got me wondering: is Vinnie really being quite so odd, therefore, in giving a name to a weapon that is, in its own way, just as remarkable as these others? (Of course, the precise name that he gave it could be considered another matter.... :)

First off; Thank you for devoting what I'm sure is a good part of your time to Keeping up your answers,informing us and giving those of us without toon Disney our daily dose of Gargoyles! You must really like us!

Now, The question I've always wanted to ask and never got around! I hope you have an answer:

What has happened in Matt Bluestones past? I am aware that you don't exclusively design all the characters, but you must know more about this mystery man then was revealed in the series thus far. I was suprised it hadn't come up before!
What's his family like?
Where did he grow up/go to college?
Why/How did he start in the FBI?
Why is he so paranoid? or Does he have a reason to be?

Please help me to shed some light on this intriguing subject.

Thanks You Much,
Ana
