Had an event scheduled earlier this week to take place tomorrow, and when I saw the date I couldn't but think that the date had some sort of significance . . . funnily enough, the answer would elude me throughout the remainder of the week, into all day today . . . until JUST after midnight in my timezone and the day was now October 24th, 2010. That's when it hit me . . .

Yes, SIXTEEN years ago today, "Awakening: Part One" first aired -- The next four days are in fact the anniversaries of when Parts Two through Five also aired, as the multi-parter originally aired daily that week, before settling on Fridays in the Disney Afternoon bloc. Just for the fun of it, I think I'll be watching Awakening tomorrow afternoon after my event :)

So to everyone in the comment room, Happy Anniversary of Gargoyles' series premiere!

Of course, the comic also had Banquo getting cut off in mid-sentence when he called Elisa a "monster-loving wh-" - though, Standards & Practices aside, I doubt that Elisa would have given him time to finish that word! (I might have mentioned this before, but the scene reminded me of the very early days of TGS, when the staff was doing Breakdowns on a story where Castaway captured Elisa as bait for a gargoyle-trap, someone suggested that Castaway would call Elisa that, and Larry Davidson remarked that Castaway had better have Elisa safely tied up first unless he wanted to find out how hard she could punch. It was one of his sub-ordinates here, of course, but it still brought back memories.)

To commemmorate the Hunter's Moon today, I reread the Timedancer story from "Clan-Building Volume Two", since the Battle of Rathveramoen is portrayed in it as taking place on the night of the Hunter's Moon. When Brooklyn referred to Demona as a "witch", I wonder if he had a slightly different word in mind - a word beginning with a different letter, but which might not be so acceptable to Standards & Practices....

Sorry for the double post, but tonight is the Hunter's Moon. (It's also, according to my "this-day-in-history" desk calendar, the day that Jean-Paul Sartre - who, judging from the opening of "Leader of the Pack", seems to be one of Fox's favorite authors - refused the Nobel Prize for Literature.)

As fun as the Back to the Future films are, their time-travel rules are so wildly inconsistent that contact with the masterfully stable Phoenix would probably implode the fabric of space and time. XD

I saw the preview of "Darkwing Duck" #5 at Comics Continuum a couple of days ago. I particularly got a kick out of [SPOILER] the person in the crowd holding up a sign saying that Darkwing should get his own comic book, and Nega-Duck's belief that Magica de Spell is lacking in ambition by going after a dime - even if its Scrooge McDuck's No. 1 Dime.

Personally, while Spider-Man is indeed my favorite comic book character, I've never been particularly drawn in by the Marvel Universe in general. The X-Men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and Captain America only interest me peripherally, while characters like Thor, the Hulk, Ant-Man, Punisher, and Daredevil have never carried even remote interest from me.

The DC Universe is just one where I'm attuned to a far greater proportion of the characters in general. So if Greg W only gets to work with one company's full range of characters, I'm immensely glad that it was DC.

Which reminds me, I've got to call Comcast soon. They've done something weird with their service so I can't get Cartoon Network anymore. Gotta get that straightened out.

Of course, I'd much rather be waiting eagerly for season 4 of Spectacular Spider-Man. I've always been more of a Marvel fan than a DC fan, especially Spider-Man, but C'est la vie.
