I would like to say I loved the series "Gargoyles". I believe ABC's
cancellation of the show is the same kind of mistake that NBC did when
they cancelled "Star Trek". It was a unigue one of a kind show that offered
people a chance to look at things from a different perspective and that
that we should not fear what we don't understand. Now, if you don't mind, I'd
like to ask you a few questions.
1)Where did you get the inspiration for the character Angela? I've always
found her interesting due to her background and personality.
2)Have any Canmores ever openly defended gargoyles or expressed any
concern for them? If so, what would happen to them?
4)What sort of attempts have you made to get the show back on and what can
the rest of us do to help?
5)If the show went back into production, would any of the actors/actresses
be in it?
6)Since "Future Tense" was an "Escape From New York"/"Terminator" spoof,
would there have been an "ALIENS" spoof? 'Cause Marines kick ass!!!

1. Angela was a natural, almost automatic addition to the tapestry. She
was so right, she had to be created. There wasn't a single "inspiration",
unless you count Goliath, Demona, the eggs, Katharine, the Magus, and Tom,
i.e. everything else we had woven up to that point.
2. I don't want to say definitively that no Canmores ever expressed some
concern, but historically, I don't think you had a big pro-gargoyle
faction within the Canmores.
3. No number 3.
4. I've answered this before. Check the archives.
5. I assume they'd all be willing to come back in. It was a fun work
experience, decent money and a relatively benign time committment.
6. I don't agree with you assesment of FUTURE TENSE, per se. That is,
you're not going very far back. There are probably loads of things that
influenced all three. I do know that I didn't specifically base Future
Tense on Escape, which I've never seen or on Terminator (who's parallel's
don't seem that obvious to me).
