Comment Room Archive : Gargoyles : Station Eight

To be clear: I do have everything in high quality and uncut. All episodes are in the same format and look exactly the same. BUT they're all in german with a small logo in the top right corner. Apart from that they're good enough to make a quality looking DVD. (I think)

The problem is: I don't have the english soundtrack to replace the german with. But if someone (maybe Arlo?) sends me a good quality english soundtrack of any episode, I could piece together a small 5 minute sample with the high quality german video + the english audio. And if you like what you see, we can discuss further steps.

Finally added my e-mail ;)

You might be right. I guess there wouldn't be as much room on the DVD discs for extras, anyway.

Well, hope isn't lost. If Taina and I can't figure this out and Disney still won't release the eps, I'll probably convert my old VHS tapes to DVD eventually. Although I know she really wants to release high-quality episodes.

I believe there's 26 episodes left, and that it would likely mean 2 discs with 9 episodes, and one disc with 8 episodes.

To be honest, having a disc full of 8-9 episodes is just as satisfying as having special features.

Now if the DVD in question is a mere 3-4 episodes, then yeah I'd expect some special features.

As Greg Weisman has said, "that ship has sailed." There's no indication that Disney is going to be releasing the Season 2 Volume 2 in the near future, and it's extremely unlikely that they would.

D. Taina and I have been trying to put out that volume by ourselves, but we've run into some snags. It seems no one has high-quality episodes of the English episodes, so we have to try to dub the English soundtrack to the high-quality German video she has. It's been harder than we expected, because the video machines people used all record at different speeds, which causes the audio and video to go out of sync. Even shrinking the audio down to the correct length doesn't work, because the out-of-syncness isn't uniform across the tape. So it causes some scenes to work, and others not to. It's all been a bit of a headache.

The other option is that some people have been hoping Disney will release certain episodes on demand, where people can just order the specific episodes they want on DVD, without any of the bonus features and all that. Better than nothing.

Ehi guys, I forgot to ask you this: waht about the sales of the DVDs?
Are they increased? I rally hope it for you. And maybe after Disney will release Gargoyles 2 season volume 2 in north-america, we other fans from the other countries will try to convince Disney to release the DVDs, and the comic books in other countries.

I very hope it, Gargoyles is my favourite TV series.

I'm sorry, Greg B. I just realized you left some feedback on the "Fiends In High Places" page I worked on last night, but I'm still figuring the system out and I'm not quite sure how to write back on that.

I felt the absence of Demona's becoming upset when she realizes Elisa is still alive was noticeable. It's something I've seen other fans ask about besides myself on here today, and it's noticeable enough that fans sometimes get confused as to when she realized it, and think it was in "The Mirror" because they forget about the scene in "Reawakening." My opinion is that it's conspicuous, but if you want to change the page to just say "absent," I'll leave that up to you.

Supermorff: So far, Count Vladimir Ordog is going for something of a "man of wealth and taste" vibe on Formspring. He has a definite and sordid history with Old Pog (as well as "the surviving Van Helsings, Blade AND that insipid blonde from California"), and has a fair distaste for gargoyles in general as a result, to the point that he has placed many of his resources at Castaway's disposal - obviously, without revealing who he actually is.

He's also got some sort of history with Demona, as they met last some two or three centuries ago; their opinions on humankind are fairly similar, although Vlad is rather annoyed about her "crusade" because it would eliminate his supply of "livestock." Still, they are now in a tentative agreement in which each believes they are using the other: an exhange of Goliath's death for Pog's.

Since that bargain was struck about four weeks ago, Vlad's been lying fairly low on Formspring, though he never misses an opportunity to try and seduce one of the site's ample supply of pretty young women into meeting with him. He's now sitting back and regarding the various omens of disaster that appear to be heralding [SPOILER] Morgana Le Faye's ritual to release Queen Mab [/SPOILER] with...interest.

On another note, does anyone know why Weisman never included a scene of Demona first discovering Elisa is still alive after "Long Way To Morning?" They just sort of skipped over that, and after seeing that scene in the Marvel comics, I have to say, it is noticeably absent from the canon material.

There's a lot of great stuff that could be done with vampires in Gargoyles. Thematically, they could be a perfect fit for the series. (I don't follow Formspring - how's the Dracula character integrating so far?)

Jean Valjean> Yeah, suggested before that Jean Valjean might be Monsieur Le Maire. Definitely a good theory.

I wasn't aware about the trolls turning to stone in sunlight. That is interesting. I wonder if Weisman is aware. I just read recently where he said legends did exist of gargoyles protecting the castle, but he made up the part about them turning to stone during the day on his own.

I've always wondered about vampires too. They've gotta have a special role in the Gargverse. It would probably make for a damned interesting episode or comic, if Weisman ever got to work on it. I remember a friend of mine in high school told me another show he liked had the story where vampires were created when an exorcism went wrong. It would be interesting to see what gargoyle spin Weisman could put on that, like he did with Macbeth's story.

Alright, while perusing the AskGreg archives (as I am wont to do fairly often, LOL), I came to a rather mind-blowing epiphany that I simply couldn't wait to share with y'all. I apologize if someone's already theorized this (Heaven knows how many people independently came to the conclusion that Shari was Scheherazade before I did), but...

I think that the Director is Jean Valjean.

To support this conjecture, I offer the following points:

1) His operations are based in Paris.

2) He was the driving force behind the formation of the Redemption Squad; Valjean is pretty much the quintessential symbol of the search for redemption in the Western Canon.

3) Greg W. has outright confirmed that Valjean exists in the Gargoyles Universe, and that he has "a pretty clear handle on how [he'd] interpret the character," one of the very few literary characters of the post-Shakespeare periods to receive that honor (Dracula being another). This, to me, hints that he needed to figure out his "version" of Valjean relatively quickly in anticipation of future plans.

4) Obviously, Valjean isn't exactly a stranger to disguises or aliases.

5) Greg W. has confirmed the Director's "day-job" to be that of a civil servant; Valjean spends a good portion of the first part of Les Miserables as humble and benevolent major "Monsieur Madeleine."

...Of course, now that I think on it, that last clue points a lot more heavily to the Director's even more mysterious boss "Monsieur Le Maire" being Hugo's infamous former prisoner #24601. After all, his appellation translates directly to "the Mayor."

Regardless, however, I've become entirely convinced that Jean Valjean has something significant to do with this shadowy organization opposed to the Illuminati. Whichever Frenchman he is, though, this would make him rather long-lived (as well as [SPOILER] make the very ending of Hugo's novel somewhat...inaccurate [/SPOILER]), but as I've theorized before that one or both of them are very likely to be former Illuminati themselves and thus have had access to their, ahem, "dental plan," that may not necessarily be an issue.

So...whadaya all think? :D

Speaking of Tom, I've suspected that there might have been some influence from T. H. White (and the musical "Camelot") in his role, especially in "Avalon Part One".

At the end of "The Once and Future King", on the eve of the final battle with Mordred, King Arthur is brooding in his tent over what went wrong and why Camelot fell. When his young page Tom comes in to deliver a message for him, Arthur asks him to stay a while, and gives a brief account to the boy of what he had set out to do, what the purpose of the Round Table had been. He then asks Tom to, once he's delivered that message, ride for home instead of taking part in the battle, and keep the memory of Camelot's ideals alive, so that other people can be inspired by them to continue after Arthur's passing. To top it off, he knights Tom; White describes him (Tom) as wearing a surcoat with the family coat of arms "looking absurdly new". (Tom doesn't let Arthur down; he grows up to become Sir Thomas Malory, author of "Le Morte d'Arthur".) The musical "Camelot" ends with a similar scene.

Now note some similarities to Tom's role, especially in "Avalon Part One" - a young boy charged with a great task, even dubbed as a knight (or Guardian of the Eggs, in Tom's case), both named Tom - and note, also, in reference to Tom's surcoat in T. H. White above that the Tom of "Gargoyles" is given a heraldic uniform after being appointed Guardian by Princess Katharine. And, of course, King Arthur is brought into the story in connection with Tom (not to mention that Officer Morgan describes the adult Tom's armor as reminiscent of that in the tales of King Arthur).

PATRICK> Exactly. Greg talked about this at the 2006 Gathering, if I remember correctly (and this was five years ago now), he said that as Tom got older, he pursued Katharine. While the Magus kind of hoped it would "just happen" and then it was too late.

And I don't see Katharine as a mother figure to Tom. Like the Magus said "they all lived as innocently as children" when they got to Avalon. I'm thinking more like Adam and Eve.

The eggs became their children.

Katharine and Tom is no more "sick" than Padme Amidala and Anikin Skywalker.

So did anyone else think it was weird how Katherine and Tom ended up together? I mean he looked like he was only about 10 years old when they went to Avalon, and she was a grown woman...and his mom left him in her care. She probably had more of a mothering role towards him in the early years. It seems kind of...SICK how they ended up as lovers. I think she belonged with the Magus.

Princess Katharine: I dinnae know him. Should I?

Tom: I dinnae know this man...

Ophelia: I don't know, who is he?

Anauel: I concur with my mate. Who is this?

Uriel: I have never left Avalon...how would I know who that is?

Michaela: I have never left Avalon...I wasn't brave enough...like Angela was...but it turned out to be best, as Princess Katherine says, "For every season..."

I would be very interested in finding out who this Wise Man is though...he sounds interesting.

Samael: Obviously he's not important enough for me to know him.

Nameless Leader of the Xanadu Clan: I do not know who this person is, but can easily provide him with whatever fu-dog he requires.

Rory Dugan: Big fan, just wish more of his shows got released on DVD in region 2.

Jackal: His shows are so pretentious.

Hyena: That guy thought he was too good to write for our show. What's wrong simple plots that are all about punching and kicking things? But no... Mr. Stuck Up there has to have "plot twists" and "character development" and all that other high and mighty crap.

Well, Michael Bay is the king of the box office, and no one gives a crap about... er... anyone who ever wins one of those lame awards. So, shows like ours for the win! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No, my great-grandfather was from Canada. But I'm an American expatriate living in Korea.

Jackal's citizenship is listed under his characteristics.

Here's an old Ask Greg answer where he says Jackal and Hyena are American. But it's all canon in training of course.

Landon>"Hasn't Boom! said their Disney licensing days are numbered? I wonder if this will affect that decision."

If Disney doesn't take away the afternoon licenses, then maybe Boom will have a bit more faith. But don't expect them to start licensing like crazy...

The question is 5 days from being 10 years old. But I wanted to ask Matt how he chose which countries he thought would take up the GMPA and which wouldn't or would be reluctant. I don't know enough about China and Guatamala, but I disagree with his opinion on what South Korea and Japan would do. But I'm up for a spirited civil debate on it. http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=2574

Didn't know that Keith David voiced this character. Have to say that out of all I've heard, I find it to be the most unrecognizable.

Oops, that was a different project, and in Dubai currency. The tower I mentioned actually cost US $1.5 billion as part of the US $20 billion "Downtown Dubai" project.

CKing> Season Two Volume Two has indeed been cancelled, years ago. Hopefully we will one day get Disney's attention again, and they will change their minds.

As for season three, season three is available in the form of two graphic novels, "Clan Building Volume One" and "Clan Building Volume Two" and we also have a spin-off called "Gargoyles Bad Guys."

Here is volume one, but scroll down for an option to buy all three graphic novels together:

Estimated cost of the Burj Dubai, now the tallest building in the world, is 2.3 billion. 5 billion should build the Eyrie and have the restrooms trimmed in gold. :P

If money were no object, and I were a billionaire many times over. Hell yeah, I'd build my own Eyrie Building in Manhattan. Think of all the construction jobs it would create. I'd be helping the economy. ;)

I wonder if 5 billion would be enough to build the Eyrie in this day and age.

The closest I could find to real-world numbers is the cost of the Freedom Tower being built in NYC is given at 2 billion. Figure the Eyrie would cost about that plus a Scottish castle, plus bribes and facilities to export/import the thing to the States... I think it'd be doable. Although the engineering innovation needed to secure the castle to the tower and keep the whole thing from tipping over would probably push the costs very close to the US$5bn mark.

I think, instead, I'd buy some land in Japan and open up a gargoyle theme park utilizing a local gargoyle clan. What could go wrong?
