A few questions and comments:
1. First off, I agree that with you that the term "goof up" wasn't
quite an accurate description of how Shakespeare did "Macbeth". He had his
artistic reasons for changing the story (plus, James I was a descendant of
Duncan and Canmore, so Will obviously had to whitewash those two in order to get
the play staged :). I was just speaking informally. At any rate, thanks
for answering my question about how accurate Malory's version of Arthur's
reign was in the Gargoyles Universe.
2. Why was Oberon so upset about the scorn that his "Children" felt
towards humans that he banished them from Avalon for a thousand years? He
showed a LOT of scorn towards humans himself in both "Ill Met By Moonlight" and
"The Gathering".
3. Does the non-interference edict forbid Oberon's Children to meddle
in the lives of gargoyles, or does it just extend towards humans?
4. Where (generally speaking) do you see the cave where the two
archaeologists found Merlin's Scrolls in "A Lighthouse in the Sea of
Time"?
5. What places do you see King Arthur and Griff visiting on their
quest for Merlin?
6. What inspired the idea of the head of the Illuminati Society being
a friend of Arthur's? (If answering this question would give away
Duval's true identity, please ignore it).
7. How involved in the day-to-day work of the Illuminati is Mr. Duval,
in your opinion? (I'm asking this because I can't help wondering how
appropriate it is for the Fisher King - which you said that Duval was
- to be involved in such things as working with organized crime, running
the Hotel Cabal, or funding the Quarrymen. It strikes me as a real
conflict of interests).
Greg responds...
1. You're welcome.
2. Everything's relative, and besides, Oberon isn't exactly a
model of self-analysis.
3. Mortals includes humans and gargoyles.
4. Wales.
5. Some obvious ones. Stonehenge, Tintagel, etc. Some less
obvious. South Pole, for example.
6. Mostly it came out of some long term thoughts I have always
had about which members of the "original cast" of Arthurian Mythology
would still be alive in the twentieth century. I came up with seven
names, including Arthur, Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. In thinking
about what would have happened to these seven individuals during the
intervening years, it became clear to me that the Fisher King could very
easily have brought the Illuminati into existence. It just seemed
right.
Let's have another contest. The first person to post -- here at
Ask Greg -- a list of all seven individuals from Arthurian Legend who I
believe have in some way survived into the late twentieth century will
receive... absolutely nothing, accept an acknowledgement of correctness.
Post seven names. I won't give anymore hints. (Heck, I've given you
three out of the seven names one paragraph up.) If you don't get ALL
seven names correct, I'll just tell you that you blew it, and I won't
say which names are right and which are wrong. (Todd, I'm expecting
great things from you.) Have fun.
7. Well, to analyze conflicts of interest you need a clear
sense of an individuals goals and methods. I don't think I've given you
either. I'd say there's very little the Illuminati does that Duval is
unaware of, but that doesn't mean he micro-manages everything. (GDW / 4-20-98)

Heysas, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Now for a
fewlittle morbid ones of my own. :)
1) How is it possible that the Archmage was rescued by his future
self? In "Long Way to Morning," after he falls in the chasm there is a distinct
noise of something like a body hitting the bottom, yet in "Avalon" there is
no such occurence. I think this may be where all those questions you've
gotten about a start to the timeloop come from.
2) In Puck's prophecy, how was evil Lexington able to destroy Demona
if she's immortal? Is there a limit to how much physical damage the
spell's hosts can suffer at one time before it unravels?
3) On a related note, just how strong is the link between Demona and
Macbeth? In "Avalon" Demona says that they need to get farther away
from each other to lessen the pain they suffer when the other is injured.
Is there a distance beyond which one could be injured or temporarily
"killed" and the other wouldn't even feel it?
Greg responds...
1. I've answered this before. Check the archives. Something
hit the ground, but it wasn't the Archmage. Trust me.
2. It was all an illusion. Some of it might have been
prophetic, but some of it clearly wasn't.
3. Yes. (GDW / 4-20-98)

I would like to thank you for both Gargoyles and for answering
questions. I only have a few:
1)How often do you watch Gargoyles
2)I'm sorry if you've answered this already, was Owen always Puck, the reason I ask is I was wondering how Puck was trapped in the mirror if he was? (I was never really sure)
3)Were ColdStone's gargoyle parts flesh or animated stone?
4)Which one of the characters from Gargoyles can you most relate to?
Greg responds...
1. Not very often. I remember most of it quite clearly. If
something strikes me, I might pull an episode out, but I'm not, like,
watching one a day for 66 days and then starting over.
2. He wasn't trapped in the mirror. He was summoned through
the mirror. Does that clarify things?
3. Animated stone.
4. Check the Archives, I've answered this in detail before.

Mr. Weisman, thanks for answering my previous qs.
1. In TEMPTATION, did Demona choose to see Brooklyn because she knew his personality and thought that he would be the most likely to listen, or was it just chance, as Brooklyn was there?
2. What is the name of the Manhattan jogger?
3. How big is the Gargoyles Task Force at the time of THE JOURNEY?
4. We know that Xanatos is one of the lower members of the Illuminati, but in terms of influence/power etc. how do Matt and David compare?
5. This is big, but... *P L E A S E* tell the story about Coldstone in the Himalayas. Even just bit by bit (as with ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WERE THREE BROTHERS). Please?
6. When does the ?weird little 2-parter? that you have mentioned fit in with the current 66?
7. Is Queen Mab the same as the one Mercutio talks about in Romeo & Juliet?
8. You said that two of the new characters for the New Olympians series would be like Romeo & Juliet? Do you mean in similar circumstances (like the Cold Trio and Othello), a reworking of the story (like Macbeth), or just using the same characters with a gargs twist (the Children of Oberon)
Greg responds...
1. Maybe some of each.
2. Doesn't have one yet.
3. Not huge.
4. Matt's a novice. Xanatos isn't.
5. Someday. It's written already (as a comic book script for
an unpublished issue of Marvel's defunct GARGOYLES comic), but I'm
afraid I don't have time to transcribe it today.
6. It doesn't, because we didn't make it. If I ever got the
chance to do it, I'd just fit it in wherever that opportunity arose.
Already, because of things that happened in "The Gathering," I've had to
change the villain for the peace. But I actually think it works better
now.
7. Yep.
8. The first thing.

Heylo. Firstly, thanx for making the greatest show ever aired. I don't
know how many others have told you that, but it's TRUE!!! (Just needed to
pound that into your head a little more.)Okee.. down to business.
1. As an AZ native, I just gotta wonder some stuff.
a) How far out of Flagstaff was the carving supposed to be located? The turrain here doesn't change for about 15 miles or so.
b) Was Beth's university's name written as University of Flagstaff or were you going to use one of the REAL colleges? (Northern Arizona University would be my guess, since they're the only ones with a pool)
c) Are there any real buildings used in this episode? Beth's apartment complex, fro example? (I know Pulliam Airport is real, as are the San Francisco Peaks in the background.)
d) Who transplanted all the cactus to northern AZ? (No, we don't have saguaros that far north.) Okay. Just wondering about that. :)
2. I've noticed that Gabriel looks a lot like Coldstone. (well now, THERE's a slaughtered quote) Is he Othello and Desdemona's biological child?
3. Are there any other blood-relation gargs I should be keeping an eye out for? (Ophelia's relations maybe?)
4. The series focusses on a lot of tricksters.. Puck, of course,and Anansi, Coyote, Raven.. any specific reason? Were they easier to develop plots with or what? Is it an in joke??
5. I've heard several versions about the "movie." Will it deal with Clan Manhattan, or some other gargoyle/s? And when will it be in theaters?? Do tell!!
Greg responds...
1a. I don't know. Fifteen miles?
1b. I don't remember.
1c. I think the pool area was taken from photo reference. But I'm not sure.
1d. The background painters, I guess.
2. Yes.
3. I think I've mentioned Hudson and Broadway, but I wouldn't
read too much into it. Broadway's childhood was spent being raised by
the entire clan. Hudson is but one of his parents.
4. I like Tricksters. They certainly aren't easy to write, but
they are rewarding.
5. I have no new info about the movie. Sorry.

Hello again! Before my questions, I'd like to make sure of something. It
is my understanding that both Oberon and Titania [poor spelling, I know)
live on Earth in human form for around 1001 years correct, OK, since that is
out of the way, on with the questions! (
1) Has Oberon's human form been shown to us yet?
2) If so, is he a main, suppoting, or minor role?
3) I know Puck chose the fore of Owen after seeing Vogel. What did he appear as before that?
4) Did Owen, Oberon, or Titania ever change forms?
5) Does Oberon's non - interference law apply to himself?
6) I know at least Owen con not [so far at least], but could a Fay use magic, either human or Fay, while taking on a human form. For example, could Oberon's human self be a sorcerer? In reality, human - Oberon is *real* human [it is only a self created counterpart], however would he still be considered a Fay?
7) If he could use magic, how much weaker would he be than on Avalon? I know Avalon made the Magus even stronger, so what wuldhe opposite effect be? Oberon did not seem to hindered in the Gathering, at least.
2) And I know this has been asked, but not to recently what happened to the Magus?
Greg responds...
Note: I was going to give some goofy April Fool's Day responses
here, but I had a vision of them all getting quoted out of context.
Shudder. So here's with the straight answers. Or at any rate, as
straight as I ever am.
1. We've seen Oberon looking human in "The Gathering, Part
One". But I wouldn't assume he's only ever taken one form.
2. What do you mean? Oberon's a recurring character.
3. Lots of things.
4. Yeah. (Am I missing something here?)
5. Yes, but he interprets that law.
6a. In theory, sure. But why bother?
6b. I don't understand the question.
7. Ditto.
2. (Don't ask me why this was numbered 2.) He died.

Mr. Greg--Two questions concerning the skiff:
1) Did the skiff return the World Tourists to Avalon after each episode, or merely keep sending them where they needed to be (until Ill Met by Moonlight, of course, when Avalon *was* where they needed to be)?
2) Since the Guardian had been using the skiff every hundred years or so since his arrival... was there anyplace *he* needed to be? (The answer to this one's probably going to be a flat "Yes," but I had to ask.)
Greg responds...
1. They returned between each episode. Generally, only
briefly. We didn't bother showing you that.
2. Yes. Everywhere he went.

1) Elisa said to Jason Canmore, "there's someone else who wil always come
first" So did he know it was Goliath?
2)In our favorite Hunter's Moon Goliath/Elisa lovey dovey scene, she was so alluring. In all seriousness her sexy appearance with the eyes, the flowing hair, the deepened whisper, was whose idea?
3)WHile we're on the subject, who else contributed to that famous 30+ second Goliath/Elisa Kiss scene?
Greg responds...
1. I think by that time, he'd have been able to guess.
2. Whose idea? To draw her pretty and alluring? I'm not sure
how to answer that. Me. Michael Reaves. Frank Paur. The storyboard
artist. The Animator. The assistants. Obviously, it was our intent
for her to look like a woman in love. But whose idea? Nothing's that
simple in a collaborative medium.
3. What do you mean? The series staff? Look at the credits
for the episode to see who did what.

Dear Grag, I have been a fan sense the show started and I just love it!! I have also
been reading some of the third season redoes and I was wondering why you
chose to change the show so much. True! Some of the third season shows
where pretty bad! But others I REALLY liked! Such as Bronk's tail and the
one where Hudon went blind. I was really looking froward to reading then in
a good fan fic style but I have not seen any of them. Did you not want to do
any of the origanl shows? If not what? Are you planing to do some of them?
If so PLEASE let me know I really want to read them! A great fan,
Greg responds...
Talise, I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Other
than "The Journey", I didn't have anything to do with the third season
a.k.a. THE GOLIATH CHRONICLES. I have no idea what "re-dos" you're
referring to. If you're talking about fan fiction, I have nothing to do
with that either. Nothing.

Thank you Greg, for taking this time to communicate with the fan base.
Your continuing interest in this series is greatly appreciated.
1. What do the Japanese gargoyles' names mean in English? (Kai, Yama, Sora)
2. Why did Thailog want Demona and Macbeth's money for (in Sanctuary)?
3. In "The Green," if Jackal had succeeded in carving Goliath's face into a likeness of his own as Goliath slept (like he planned to do) what would have happened to Goliath when he woke up?
4. Are you willing to tell us some of the times/places you'd have sent Brooklyn to (and any of which events in history his visits would affect)?
5. What is Delilah's intelligence level compared to that of the other clones?
6. Do Una and Leo know where Griff is? (considering he left England at the beginning of Pendragon)
Greg responds...
1. Yama means mountain, I remember that. Story Editor Gary
Sperling told me what the others mean, but to be honest, I've blanked
out on them. Anyone else know?
2. He wanted to be able to build a corporation to rival
Xanatos'.
3. Death.
4. I've mentioned a few already. Check the Archives. That'll
have to do for now.
5. None of the clones are unintelligent. Rather, their
education is extremely limited. Delilah was "programmed" with better
communication skills, but she's no more or less intelligent than her
genetic make-up allows.
6. He phoned them.

1)From what I gather on the Phoenix Gate, it is traveling
through time
endlessly, opening in random points. If my assumption is right
wouldin't it
eventually consume all matter within time?
2)Is there a limit to where the gate could go?
3) In the world travel parts, why is it that no one got any
exoctic
diseases? Most people have to take antibodies to keep from
catching those
when they go to place such as Africa and such.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Greg responds...
1) Why would it do that?
2) Planet Earth.
3) Elisa got amnesia. Is that exotic enough for you? Bronx
risked infection? I don't know how to answer this question, other
than to say that it wasn't a story we were interested in telling.

Greg,
I just heard that you and Disney are headed into some sort of
lawsuit. Does
it have anything to do with Gargoyles? If it does, is it
something that you
can explain/talk about? Thanks!
Greg responds...
Some jerk is attempting to sue Disney (not me) claiming to have
created Gargoyles in '93 two years AFTER I can document that my team
and myself created it in '91. It's annoying as hell, but what are you
going to do. That's all I know.

Mr. Wiesman,
A question about the limits of the regenerative powers of
the wierd Sister's immortality spell on MacBeth, and Demona.
What are the limits? This spell must have limits to the
amount of damage it can repair. By this I mean if in an
extrem if Demona took a direct hit from a nuke, I'm quite
sure she would be dead for good. I don't think the Wierd
Sisters had nukes in mind when they caste that spell. So
the question remains, how much damage can the spell cope
with before it's limits are reached? Another question,
does Elisa have a dark side to her, if so what would be needed
to bring this
out?
Thank you for your time.
Greg responds...
What does it matter whether or not she could survive a nuke if a
nuke never hits her? Besides, I'm not sure I agree with your
assessment. In any case, I've addressed this before too. Check the
archives.
As to Elisa's dark side... well, I guess we all have one. But
this is another one of those questions that would require a good 39
pages to answer. Not gonna happen in this format.

Hello Mr. Wiesman! First off, I'd like to start by
congradulating you on
the success of GARGOYLES. Second, I would like to ask your
advice on
something. I am creating an group of fans with the hopes of
returning
GARGOYLES to television. I was hoping you could give me advice
on
how we should go about doing this. Also, anyone reading this
who is
interested in joining please E-mail me at IAmKeevan@juno.com.
Thank you
for your time.
Greg responds...
Keevan, I've addressed this in detail all over the place. Check
the archives, newsgroups, etc. An organized and respectful
letter-writing campaign wouldn't hurt. But you'll need strength in
numbers. Lots of people participating in unison and individually.
Good luck.

I'm sorry for not numbering my previous questions, but i will
now. just two quick ones.
1) what's the story behind goliath's name, was there a story
behind it or were you just playing of the "david and goliath"
thing?
2) if and when the live-action movie comes out, would you like to see
the original cast or are there others you think should be in the roles? (i.e.
patrick stewart playing someone like oberon, i just find it odd that the
one how has done shakespeare isn't a part of the cartoon.)
thanks for everything!!!!!!!
Greg responds...
1) I wanted a name that connoted strength. A name that had a
certain weight. A name of some classic appeal. A name that we could
believe would be given to a tenth century gargoyle. Goliath seemed
perfect. I could just see humans naming the huge gargoyle Goliath.
They name him for an evil giant, despite the fact that this Goliath
protects them. It spoke immediately to the human/gargoyle
relationship. The idea to give Xanatos the first name David came
later. It was obvious. In fact it was so obvious, I hesitated to do
it.
2) Other than Goliath and Elisa, I doubt any of the other
characters will appear in the movie. Salli would be great as Elisa.
Keith would be outstanding as Goliath.

Greg- I just wanted to say that I love(d) your show! I don't
like to watch much TV, but I like shows that make me think. I could sit and
imagine stuff about gargoyles for hours! I think it can really make you
smarter to watch TV, if you put the show's messages to life! Anyway, I had a lot
of questions when I first found this page, but I had to wait and
try to read the archives first so I didn't ask duplicates. I can't think of
all of them right now, so I'll just post a few.
1) I read somewhere that Elisa's birthday was Dec. 31, 1969.
Did you write that, or is it just a lie masquerading as the truth?
2a) Is there any place in particular at Disney that we should
write to? Any specific department?
2b) Would it be helpful to write to Disney magazines, too, like
Disney Adventures?
2c) Is there anything that Disney stockholders could do? I
know a few. Would their words have more weight? Well, that's all I can think
of right now. I'm sure I'll be back.
Thanks for answering our questions and for creating the only TV
show I've ever become addicted to!
Greg responds...
1) I definitely didn't write that. In fact, Elisa was born in
1968, although I've never bothered to pinpoint the month or day.
2a) It depends what you want to accomplish exactly. I assume
(but am not really sure) that BVTV controls the old episodes. You'd
need a distribution source like ABC to generate interest in new
episodes.
2b) Again, it depends what you want to accomplish exactly. It
couldn't hurt.
2c) It couldn't hurt for them to send letters, I suppose.

Heya Greg. I love the show, man, needless to say :) Kay, I've got
some questions that I've had tearing through this head of mine for a while.
1) Those gargoyles that Demona led in Macbeth's time, where did they come
from? There seem to be an awful lot for a bunch of stragglers
2) How old is Puck in human years?
3) Okay, okay, this is WAY confusing: If Owen Burnett
revealed his real identity as Puck to Xanatos before the gargoyles
were even brought back to life, and he gave Mr. X a choice as either a lifetime
service as Owen or a wish from the Puck, why did Mr. X choose Owen?
Why didn't he just choose a wish to be immortal like he's always hoped?
It would've saved him a lot of trouble.
4) Why did Xanatos bring the gargoyles back to life anyway?
5) Why did Mace Malone and the Illuminati care about gargoyles, anyway?
6) Why does Bluestone care about the Illuminati? Just some sort of
compulsive disorder or what? :P 7) What does Coyote (the Trickster)
really look like? I've been wonderin' 'cause he's supposed to be
impersonating Elisa's dad in all the eps we've ever seen him in, so what does he
really look like?
8) Lastly, how did you come up with this show anyway?!?
It's so cool! Did you and the other producers sell the rights or were you
already working for Disney or whatever ...
9) BTW, when I grow up, I want to do cartoon animation. How do you
get into the business? Do you have to go to a college? My guess is you
do 'cause I guess they wouldn't just let anyone come in and start drawing.
Thanks, man :D
Greg responds...
1. Remnants from various other Scotish clans. And there
weren't that many. Less than twenty total.
2. Old.
3. But then he wouldn't have had Owen. He wanted both.
4. A multitude of reasons, but the most immediate was there use
as covert operatives for him. They were simply harder to manipulate (or
at least control) than he anticipated.
5. Another source of power and influence. Another random
element to control.
6. That, but also, I don't think Matt likes the idea of someone
controlling people's lives from behind the scenes.
7. How do you define what a shapeshifter "TRULY" looks like?
Do you know what Oberon or Puck "TRULY" look like? Or do you simply
know the form they most often prefer to take?
8. I was already working for Disney. Check the archives for a
more detailed answer.
9. School isn't mandatory, but I sure as hell recommend it. If
you want to draw, learn to do it at a professional level. Me, I can't
draw a lick. But I like to think I can write.

I enjoy epic tales with heroes to look up to and relate to

brothers and their friends with fabulous heroes in wonderfully woven
tales. A new generation of children have been influenced. They, and my adult
friends always wonder two things: are the creators of Gargoyles
trained in the warrior sciences (oriental or occidental)...and were the stories
created by playing a role-playing game of some sort?
This is not a suggestion to do either and I will not hold You legally
responsible since this is not an original idea.

Neither.

Hello Greg,
First, Thank you for such a creative, engaging,character-driven
series.
My question is: How did Elisa ever explain Derek/Talon's transformation
to their family? I can't imagine a close-knit family like the Mazas
wouldn't "check in" regularly, especially since most of them have such
dangerous jobs as police officers.If this was written into an episode, please let me
know which one.
Greg responds...
When Elisa brought her parents and sister down to the Labyrinth
to see Derek, she and Derek told them the truth -- minus the Gargoyles'
involvement. This was visually hinted at in the last few seconds of
"The Cage".

Okay, I know that I already asked some questions but I thought of some
more. I don't mind if you can't answer some things. Thanks again in
advance.
1. I understand that gargoyles mate for life. If so, how would other
clans react to Goliath's relationship with Elisa? (Not counting the
Manhattan Clan).
2. If there are some humans that hate gargoyles, are there gargoyles
that hate humans (not Demona)? For instance, I assume that many humans
would ostracize Elisa for her friendship with the clan. Are there clans
that would ostracize Goliath and company becuase of their friendship?
3. You asked in the archives that we make this a kind of comment
room, too. I was watching my tape and came across "The Mirror." I just wanted to
say that I always liked this episode. As I may have mentioned before
(although you probably don't remember!) I like shows that can make me ponder the
possibilities. I loved Elisa/Goliath's last lines in "The Mirror"
becuase it was the first definite hint that there would be a relationship
between them. I'd suspected all along but I was never quite sure. When I saw
this episode I had lots to think about. Congratulations on a great effort,
even by Gargoyle standards. I guess there's no question here.
4a. Okay, I thought of something else. Why do Gargoyles treat all
hatchlings as their children, instead of a family setting?
4b. Have they always lived this way, or did they change their customs
for some reason?
5. How old was Princess Katharine when Goliath and clan were turned
to stone?
6. How old was Tom (at the same time)?
7. In "The Mirror," Puck said something about Demona "still carrying
a torch" for Goliath. I know people have asked about this before, but I
don't understand completely. What are Demona's feelings for Goliath? (I
don't mind a short answer if this is really long).
7b. Is she really aware of these feelings, or does she just deny
them?
Okay, I guess that's enough now. I'll probably be back later.
Thanks!!

1. Clan by clan, gargoyle by gargoyle, I imagine the reactions
would differ greatly. Though it isn't hard to figure that most would
have a knee-jerk negative reaction to the romance.
2. It's hard for a clan to ostracize you from a great distance.
But yeah, I'm sure there are gargoyles out there who hate humans. They
have reason.
3. That's o.k. I appreciate the comment. "The Mirror" is one
of my all time favorite episodes as well. Everything just seemed to
come together in that one.
4a & b. It is a family setting, but it is a large communal
family. It's considered bad taste to take pride in one's biological
children specifically, since every member of the clan is responsible for
helping to raise every child. Perhaps this is the result of the high
Gargoyle mortality rate. Perhaps it's instinctive.
5. She was eighteen in 994.
6. Eight.
7. Her feelings are confused and unresolved. Goliath has some
closure (with a few loose ends). Demona does not.
7b. Denial. Big time denial.
