This was previously given as a possible answer to 435, but not to 433. So let's try it here.

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."

Greg responds...

nope, no throw aways. But nope, wrong answers...

292: fiery

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...

Greg responds...

HEY! That's a good idea. I already cancelled the second contest. But will play it this way. One prize for the guy or gal with the most points. And one for the person who comes up with that last pesky answer.

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

Greg responds...

2 pts for 133 and 444.

134 is wrong.

As for 254, it is indeed Sentinel, but I have Aris getting the point for that, not Graymonk. It's possible I made an error. It's a very complicated contest, but I've tried to be careful. Is it possible Graymonk listed the wrong number and/or mispelled the word and/or gave his answer after Aris?
