OH NO!!! I'm back!! BWA HA HA HA!!! EVERY BODY BEWARE!!! Okay, now, I
can shut-up. Here's some more!! (well, duh)heehee
1. I heard that a gargoyle looks only half his age right? Right. Well,
in one episode, Xanatos mentioned Hudson was 1100 years old. I know 1000
of those years were spend in stone so he was 100 when the spell was cast.
Well, he didn't look any younger than 100! Can you explain this for me
pwease? {smile}
2. You know the spell the magus cast? How excactly do you spell that
out?
3. Do gargoyles have the same tolerances as us to heat and cold?
4. Do you know who's gonna play in the live action movie or what?
5. Can gargoyles learn things quicker than humans? Cause' Lex learned
a lot! Fast!!
6. If a gargoyle spends a lifetime without anyone trying to kill
him\her, or anything like so, could he\she live forever? The thought occoured
cause' on "The Gathering" he (Oberon) told mortals to sleep, and the gargoyles
weren't asleep. IT'S CONFUSING, I KNOW!!
7. They're were episodes, you made up that didn't air, right? Well, if
so, what were they about?
8. Here's a dumbell question! How long is Demona's hair??
9. You know the eye-glowing thing? Well, is the red-glow strictly
female or can a male's eyes glow red?
10. About how many gargoyles did you make up?
11. Did you ever make up silly episodes, knowing from the begining
they would never air, but for the heck of it, made it up anyway? Speaking
of silly.... (What a question!)
Well, I guess I'll.... think up more later and surf the net while I
can. {Smile} Seeya later, Greg the Almighty!!

1. In 1995, at the time of "The Price", Hudson was 1117 years
old. Subtract 1000 for the long nap, and you've got 117. Divide that
in half, since he ages at half speed and you have a guy who's about 59
years old, which seems about right to me.
2. Which one?
3. I'd guess it would depend on where they were brought up.
Our Manhattan gargs (being from Scottish stock) do all right in the
cold. They can handle heat, but dislike it more. I'd guess the
Guatemalan Gargoyles might feel differently.
4. No.
5. Some can. Some can't. Same with humans.
6. The Gargoyles didn't sleep because Oberon had sworn that his
magic would no longer have a direct effect on Goliath's clan. They are
not immortal.
7. It depends what you mean. We didn't write any episodes that
didn't air. I have a bunch of ideas for episodes that didn't air, but
I'm not going to list them all here.
8. Just below shoulder-length.
9. Red is for females. White is for males. Though forced-aged
clones don't conform to that rule.
10. You want me to count for you? Shinga, it feels a bit like
you're struggling to think of questions to ask. Anyway, we know quite a
few from the Scottish/Manhattan, Avalon, London, Ishimura and Guatemalan
clans. I don't know if you want me to count actual characters we've
explored, or literally every gargoyle that appeared on screen or every
gargoyle that's ever crossed my mind. So I'll leave the first two tasks
to you. And the third I'll keep a secret, even from myself.
11. We had a lot of silly notions. But silliness doesn't
preclude an idea's inclusion, witness "Vendettas" among others. (GDW / 4-21-98)
