Hunter's Moon has got to be my favorite episode, just because of it's scope, continuity, and character development. I just watched it again recently, but, and I might be crazy, I thought I noticed something weird. The beginning of Hunter's Moon Part I seems to go kind of out of its way to reintroduce the series. There's the specific dialogue of the gargs as defenders of the night, Broadway's eating habits, Elisa's comments to Matt (concerned citizens with wings), and it all seemed to briefly reintroduce the plot and the idea of gargoyles as protectors.

Again, I might be crazy and it doesn't mean anything. But was this reiteration/reintroduction of the plot intentional? Was Hunter's Moon meant to be the ep that would draw new viewers into a third season, or something to that effect? Or was it just meant to emphasize that the gargoyles have reached a very brief but happy, consistent time in their existence, just before they're revealed to the world?

Mostly, the latter. That they thought they had reached a status quo with the world. NOW BANG!! We're gonna throw their lives into MAJOR CHAOS and change the situation forever.

But at one early point, we also thought that Hunter's Moon might be released as a direct to video movie. So we wanted to set up the basic situation for any new audience which the video brought in.

These two ideas worked in tandem seamlessly, so even after we knew we were just dividing the story into episodes, we still left a bit of an introductory feeling to part one.
