Why did the FBI fire Matt? Did they just think that he was too much of a nutcase, or was there some darker reason (such as pressure from the Illuminati) involved?
Greg responds...
Both.
Todd Jensen writes...
Some time ago, I heard a fellow "Gargoyles" fan say that he considered Matt something of a hypocrite in that, while he was setting out to expose the Illuminati to the world, he was willingly joining in the efforts to keep the gargoyles a secret and hiding them, even after he became the head of the Gargoyle Task Force - and also condemned Elisa for keeping the gargoyles a secret, especially from Captain Chavez. I didn't agree with that person, feeling that there was a difference between exposing a ruthless and machiavellian secret society that's meddling in everybody's lives and exposing a group of extremely rare beings who have to hide from the world because most humans consider them monsters and would hunt them down if they knew about them, but I felt vaguely bothered by it, and thought that I'd ask you what your thoughts on the matter were.
Greg responds...
My reasoning is similar to yours, but I can also live with the notion that Matt is in fact being a bit of a hypocrite -- for a good cause.
As a writer, I LIKE the stress that dilemma will eventually cause. Human beings are complex. We contain multitudes.

Would Rosiara Sanchez or Peter Choi (the heroic teens from the newspaper story in _High Noon_) have made an appearance in a future episode of GARGOYLES? (Given its history of sneaking in foreshadowings....)
Greg responds...
Yes.
(The Guppi) writes...
Was the cop riding with Officer Morgan in _Temptation_ his partner?
Greg responds...
Yes.
(The Guppi) writes...
A tongue-in-cheek riff on Todd's religion question: Have you ever worked out if the men and women of the 23rd Precinct favor certain types of donut over others?
Greg responds...
There are a lot of cops in that precinct house. Many donut varieties are popular.

What are Preston Vogel's thoughts vis-a-vis his evil twin Owen? His "I assure you, sir, we are not" reply when Petros asked if he and Owen were related came out awfully smooth. (Preston's coolness may be somewhat less remarkable when you consider how much practice he must have with that line. He's still a lot more nonchalant about it than I'd expected, though. Doppelgangeren are creepy.)
Greg responds...
I don't think it was smooth at all. I think he was affronted. He just has a very thin range of demonstrable emotion.
I do think Owen bothers him.
(The Guppi) writes...
What did Renard do when he was informed about Vogel's escapades in Guatemala?
Greg responds...
I'm not sure he was ever informed. He's not a well man.
(The Guppi) writes...
a- Why does Preston wear that cheesy bow tie? b- Is this why Owen wears a regular one (or vice versa)?
Greg responds...
a. He likes the look.
b. Owen's got better taste.
(The Guppi) writes...
Does Preston clock out at the end of the day, or is he also work as Renard's live-in assistant?
Greg responds...
At his level, there are no timeclocks to punch. And I won't pretend he has much of a life outside his job, but he does have downtime. But he is Owen to Renard's Xanatos.
(The Guppi) writes...
1) Is Preston Vogel a native-born American?
2) Does he have Sephardic or Ashkenazic roots? (If he isn't a convert, that is.)
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. What makes you think he's Jewish at all?
