Comments for the week ending January 21, 2024

Sorry for the double post, but with my recent fondness for posting classic calendar-related poems here, I just felt I should add this:

St. Agnes' Eve - Ah, bitter chill it was!
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;
The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass,
And silent was the flock in woolly fold;
Numb were the Beadsman's fingers, while he told
His rosary, and while his frosted breath,
Like pious incense from a censer old,
Seem'd taking flight for heaven, without a death,
Past the sweet Virgin's picture, while his prayer he saith....

"The Eve of St. Agnes", John Keats. (January 20 is St. Agnes' eve.)

And [SPOILER] there'll be another twelve-issue series after "Gargoyle Quest". [/SPOILER]

Thanks for the link, Antiyonder. One of the silhouettes at the bottom, by the way, was of Demona.

If nothing else like how binging helps Gargoyles, it does apply to anything else we want to see treated well.

At any rate, several Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episodes are back up on Disney's YT channel and some previous S1 stuff not on.

And while TGaMM is done, Bill and Bob thankfully aren't:

Oh, and [SPOILER] the revelation in the finale practically demands going back and rewatching every appearance the guy whom Scratch used to be - and became again - made in the previous episodes. I had a similar thought about Lunella's grandmother in "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur", once we found out in the Season One finale that a) she'd been the original Moon Girl and b) she'd figured out quickly that the new Moon Girl was her granddaughter - that this called for rewatching all her previous scenes in the light of that information. [/SPOILER]

ANTIYONDER - Thanks for the link. [SPOILER] So there was originally going to be a Season Three? (The part about who'd become the new Chairman; that was a dangling plot point, I thought, after seeing "Jinx vs. the Human World".) [/SPOILER] And, yes, I found it a moving ending. [SPOILER] Bittersweet - Molly's said good-bye to a friend, but he finally has the courage to go out and do things - and the ending credits even indicate that he gets to see his friend again. [/SPOILER]

Forgot the second part of the tag.

Todd Jensen> As far as the talk of The Ghost and Molly McGee's finale last week, many have guessed [SPOILER]Scratch being a wraith after the idea of such was acknowledged in S1's finale. Wasn't 100% sure my self, but considered it. For fun, here are some foreshadows:

But what did you think about the emotional side of the finale? Actually got a bit teary myself.

Antiyonder

Well, in terms of fractions, its not as sound-bitey as a 'quarter of a million', but the campaign passed a fifth of a million overnight :D

Third!

Glad to see us pass 1000 backers yesterday. Truly remarkable. What I want to see is it hit a quarter of a million dollars before the end. We've got time. We'll see!

As for myself, as much as I'd love to have a chest full of hardbound, gilded page, foil-stamped, leather books complete with signatures from the creators. I just don't have that kind of money lying around.

So it'll probably the signed hardcovers for me.

Ain't nothing crazy 'bout me but my brain!

First.
Ed> I'm not sleeping on them, don't worry! It's just a matter of if I want to prioritize getting a signed copy of the '06 run, or having all three volumes at my fingertips. I've got time to think it over.
