CRAIG - [SPOILER] Thanks for your comments.
Your mention of the Barbic Gummis reminded me of a scene I particularly liked in the finale. When the Barbic Gummis come to the Gummi Bears' aid, they make it clear that they're only interested in helping their fellow Gummis, and don't care what happens to the humans. The Gummis (Zummi, I believe) show them that Igthorne's planning to attack the returning Gummi ships, to show that he's a threat to everyone, humans and Gummis alike. I've thought that it'd be great to have a similar scene in "Gargoyles" (in fact, we've probably had a few echoes of it, such as Leo and Una's "The Nazis are a human problem" perspective in "M I. A.") where another gargoyle clan is willing to help out the Manhattan clan against an adversary, but are initially indifferent to what that adversary would do to the human population of Manhattan, until Goliath shows them that this adversary is a threat to both humans and gargoyles.
Incidentally, on the Manhattan clan's plight in the early episodes that Matthew mentioned at the end of his post - I remember that I never thought about it myself when I first watched "Gargoyles". I was so focused on the depiction of a group of medieval beings transplanted to the modern world and making sense of it (the part of "Gargoyles" that most appealed to me then), that I didn't think over what the long-term implications would be for a species down to seven members, all but one of whom are male, and the sole female being estranged from them.
