Hello, Greg!
I'll make this as brief as possible;
you have got to be very busy with all
the questions asked here!

1) Does Thailog want the clones back?

2) Does he know where they are?

3) Is he interested in recovering Delila?

4) I heard a rumor that Thailog would have been
the "main" villan in the 3rd (or 4th?) season; was this
true?

5) What were your plans for him as a villan? (i.e. would
he remain "evil" all his life, or do an about-face alla Xanatos??)

6) Who came up with the idea of an evil clone??

7) If Elisa hadn't been with Goliath in "Double Jeopordy"
and stopped him from attacking Thailog, would Goliath have killed him?

8) Was Goliath's comment about Thailog being an
abomination (sp?) the deciding factor for Thailog not
to "care" about his Father?

9) Does Goliath still (after "The Reckoning") consider
Thailog his responsibiliy?

10) How does Goliath feel about Thailog? (i.e. Sad, hates his guts?)

11) Thailog had to have known that Demona would eventually
turn against him (after he'd betrayed her); but he can't kill her. In
"The
Reckoning" how did he plan on dealing with that?

12) As a villian, Thailog seems to have far less luck then Xanatos,
yet he was trained by him, and has the same "smarts". Why does Thailog's
every plan collapse on him??

13) I know that the "clone virus" was a creation of the
third season, and that if you were able to continue the
series you would have to work around Thailog's "death".
My question is, how would you bring him back?

13.1) Would you bring him back?

13.2) What did you think of Thailog's "death scene"?

Greg responds...

1. Probably.

2. I guess it depends whether or not you're counting the events
of the Goliath Chronicles.

3. Generally, yes.

4. Certainly one of the main villains, yes.

5. "All his life" might have been a long time. But I had a lot
of fun with his "evil" nature, wasn't in any hurry to change him. And
I don't see that he'd have any motivation to change.

6. Me. Although it's not exactly the most stunningly original
idea I've ever come up with.

7. Killed him? Probably not. Goliath has to get pretty damn
mad to kill. Madder than he was in that episode.

8. It sure didn't help.

9. Yes. Up to a point.

10. Frustrated. Sad. Angry. Etc.

11. Imprisonment, maybe. He might have been hopeful he'd
eventually get her to see reason.

12. Xanatos didn't fair much better. Thailog came out of
Double Jeopardy all right. Better than all right. He didn't get
Macbeth's wealth in Sanctuary, but he still had access to Demona's, and
he had Nightstone. Reckoning was a bit of a mess for him, but who knows
what he would have done on his return. (I don't have any comment on the
TGC events.)

13. I'd definitely bring him back. I haven't thought about
how. I thought the death scene was pretty good. It's hard to top that
Keith-Keith chemistry. That's why I created Thailog in the first place. (GDW / 4-20-98)
