Hey guys.
So I decided I was gonna do a commentary on the Stone of Destiny story in the SLG comical books. Basically, what I did was take the thing page by page, panel by panel, and looked at how each panel and page fit together in a way of showing the nonlinear storytelling was no where near random.
So uhhh...check it ouuuuuuuuut....

BISHANSKY - The family tree's great! It certainly appeals to the medieval history buff in me (one of the things that first drew me to "Gargoyles").
Sir Walter Scott mentioned a legend in his writings that Robert de Mowbray, when forced to surrender the castle of Alnwick to Canmore and told to hand over the keys, did so hanging from his lance, and arranged it in such a way that he thrust the key into Canmore's eye, leading to his being given the nickname "Pierce-eye", which, altered to "Percy", his descendants bore, becoming among the leading nobles in the north of England (and producing the famous "Hotspur", Prince Hal's rival in "Henry IV Part One", among others). This, as Scott admitted, is only legend (the Percys took their surname from their old home in Normandy before coming over with William the Conqueror), though I find it tempting to imagine Demona being ready to try putting Canmore's eyes out when she attacked him.

So Macbeth and Gruoch are cousins? They're both descended from the same person if I'm reading that family tree right. Actually, it's a bit confusing. Unless fathers begat sons spontaneously back in those days, there's a lot of female branches missing. :P

Okay, I've been doing some studying at Ask Greg, and Scottish History, and I've got a tiny theory here. Bear with me.
Greg has said before that the Canmores that continued the Hunt For the Demon were descended from Donald Canmore (Malcolm Canmore's son with Ingibjorg). Both Canmore, and Donald died in 1093.
Greg also said:
"She was hunted (a) because she was the only one left (as far as they knew) and (b) because of a little mishap with Canmore and one of his sons that I haven't told you about yet."
Now, Greg never said that Donald was a Hunter. Donald was 24 when he died, so he likely wouldn't have been a Hunter very long even if he was... and his kids would have been very young.
Now, on wikipedia: Malcolm was ambushed by Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumbria, whose lands he had devastated, near Alnwick on 13 November 1093. There he was killed by Arkil Morel, steward of Bamburgh Castle.
I think it's safe to say that, in the Gargoyles Universe, "all things are true, few are accurate."
In the Gargoyles Universe, maybe Demona got involved. Maybe she killed both Malcolm and Donald Canmore. Father and son. I think it was a grandson through Donald that became the fourth Hunter... and why Castaway hunts the gargoyles through the Quarrymen today.

So, is Greg's response that Rand is very shallow and only stays with Sally for her looks? Because he doesn't seem that way to me. He generally seems a lot more mature than the other jocks. He's the only one who doesn't pick on Peter, and he doesn't get jealous when Peter asks Sally out, because he knows she's not interested. Also, he completely ignores her on Halloween when he's more worried about John Jameson and the space shuttle mission. I just don't really see him putting up with all of that nonsense just because she looks good. It seems to me like it's the standard "popular guy dates popular girl" because that's what the group expects, without any real personal bonding between the two. Rand seems more mature than that.
BTW, thank you Daniel for waking this room up after a slow week.

Love Lex's sarcastic face at Fox at first."That means so much coming from you Fox."
I'm kinda new to comics, but I love how they can slightly emphasize words by making them just slightly bolder.
Xanatos ignoring the Illuminati just to play with his kid is awesome. Show's his character well, he just does whatever the heck he pleases.
Oh look, Coyote badges on the kid's Halloween costumes.
Bronx + dog by fire = cute
Angela's face when you first see her costume looks weird. It's like she actually IS wearing a mask. And yay for cyborg Lex. Costume's exactly the same as Future Tense.
Well, it looks like Greg's finally enjoying giving Elisa lot's of new costumes. Wedding dress and now Jasmine.
WOW Thailog looks TOTALLY AWESOME.
The silence between the 2 couples is great. (G and Delilah, Morgan and Elisa)
Heh, Brooklyn's still completely smitten by Angela, and she knows it just fine. (When she asks him to put on his costume)
Yuck. I shouldn't have looked that closely at what Broadway's eating all on one plate. >_<
"Larger than life, just like his parents." Even at the White House, Xanatos still has style. :) But what's up with the Batman mask? Inside joke?
Good, Thailog needs a maniacal laugh every now and then.
I don't know about you, but I love the design for Talon, they put alot of emotion in his face very well. To bad we don't get to see him and Elisa interact.
Love the scene "So, we having fun yet?" (Morgan) Nice to get a laugh in with all this epic plot going on.
So wait, what was Owen trying to do? Just avoid the castle from getting demolished yet again? I mean, there was still a fight and all, did he just want no guns involved? Seriously, he could have stopped everything with his whole army up in the towers. (Where'd they come from anyway?)
Speaking of questions, why can't I remember who Judge Roebling is?
Ok, Super Gargoyle is just plan AWESOME. His wings make for a nice cape. I like how he hardly even cares about Broadway and Lex, just mentioning Angela and Delila at first.
Wow, so much stuff going on, and I don't want to make this to long, but why does Thailog bother with getting Elisa's genetic material anyway? Even more clones? *shudders*
I really like clone Hudson's axe, and the way they do that overview from the kid's perspective with another scene inside the balcony.
Moi? Seriously, Thailog is just so awesome in this whole thing, I can't even begin to say how.
My favorite scene is still where Lex says "Dude, you're really making me look bad." I mean, he's in his Future Tense costume for crying out loud. Creepy as hell to me. Foreshadowing anyone? :D
Wait, what's with Brentwood's weirdly colored claws? :/
Poor Brooklyn. Also, anyone find it confusing that Malibu and Broadway's color is exactly the same? For some reason, I kept on thinking that Broadway was one of the clones.
I wonder how so many characters got into the Illuminati. Did other ones just die, or did they make another number to fill in? Just seems like there's alot of them around now. Oh yeah, and it's good to see the Illuminati done well.
Ok, Angela looks REALLY weird at the start of chapter 6. It's like she's an old lady! Or maybe a zombie. Or both!
Ok seriously, a giant bowl? That's the best they can do? I mean really, that seems just way to small, even for Avalon to work with. Why not another lake or river?
Wait, where'd the coats come from? And why did Elisa answer her own question?
Oh no. Not Jalapena again.
OOOOOHhhhh, the monks are talking in another language. Cool. Nice that Greg could finally do that to.
Ag, Angela still looks creepy. (O_O)

Mother nature pretty much will screw you over somehow no matter where you live. Personally I like experiencing a full four seasons. You have the same weather too long, and inevitably someone will complain about it. I don't now what my childhood would be like if I didn't have to deal with the occasional blizzard. Yeah they sucked, but in their wake, they left a ton of snow and one family would built this luge-like track to sled in from all the snow and everyone in the neighborhood was invited. Or things like playing in the puddles in the early spring rain (I live on the peak of a hill, so no flooding ever), and jumping in the leaf piles in the fall. New England is my comfort zone, and it would take a lot for me to give it up. As nice as Southern California was when I was there, the thought of an earthquake comming on just scares the living crap out of me. I know people can't live their life in fear of all the random "what-ifs", but the idea of them is just unsettling to me.

PAUL> Have you ever been to southern California? Beautiful area, perfect weather all year round? Yeah, I think it's worth putting up with the occasional earthquake.

Earthquakes and other natural disasters do seem to raise some questions about the habits of humans, I think. It's common knowledge that earthquakes are a fairly regular occurrence in parts of California and the Baja Peninsula, and that New Orleans is (or at least was) mostly below sea level and adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. In light of the obvious threat of earthquakes and hurricanes in areas like that, why would there be such a high concentration of humans in any area like that?

Vicky> More accurately, the 7.2 was about 19 miles outside Mexicali, Mexico just north of the Baja Peninsula . . . that said, I'm in Los Angeles and I totally felt the building sway (not wildly, but noticeably) for a good minute. My family back in Phoenix, Arizona felt some tremors as well, and I know there's a few other LA folk that visit the CR probably felt something yesterday.
Though I have yet to hear of any recent reports regarding damage or injury, I know the good news is that yesterday's quake was relatively in the middle of no where (my family for several years has driven through the Baja on several occasions), and thus even with its magnitude we won't see anything like the disaster in Haiti.

Lucky number seven. If I were so inclined at the moment, I'd make a joke about feeling prime.
