233: Heritage
408: Heritage

This one's a long shot, but I'm running out of eight-letter words in the gargoyles-fans.org synopsis of this episode. I continue to be surprised by the importance of "Heritage" (the episode) in the Gargoyles Universe. When I watched the episode, it seemed like just another chapter in the World Tour. Now, it appears that a whole lot of the future revolves around that little island. Amazing.

I should have realized there are no "throw-away" episodes in "Gargoyles."

Soon the time will come when only a handful of guesses will remain - I guess that then a number of people will try to post the entire text so as to win the second prize of the contest.

Since the text's many pages long, and since you *do* tell us which guesses are correct and which aren't, and since the texts will have only one-word variations between them, I think it might be better if you just said that the guy or gal who fills in the last blank wins the second prize - with no need to post the *entire* text.

What do you think? I'm just trying to find ways to avoid dozens of pages of text being posted with little or no difference between them...

Well, I finally decided to submit a few possible entries to the Gargoyles 2198 contest. Here they are:

44 - hated

241- Maza

455 - Earth
490 - occupation

BTW if 254 is "Sentinel", I think you owe Graymonk a point.
if not, nevermind.

It almost seems like the contest went on hold during the Louisiana trip. Back into the grind now. Yes, I stopped my "let's try every three digit number possible" after about thirty entries. I didn't want to go too far before getting a reaction to what I was doing. Now I'm almost dreading that reaction. In the meantime somebody actually guessed one of them, and it was the year of the Wyvern massacre. So now I must try some other significant years for the other robot (which I noticed is a four digit number, not another three). So here goes:

I had really checked the archives and kept a written list. How could I have missed those? Heck, I thought I really was the first one to hit Lancelot (silly me).
