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an unpublished issue of Marvel's defunct GARGOYLES comic), but I'm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.

What exactly is Fae (Fay)? I missed that part of the show.

Greg responds...

Fae is another synonym for the "Children of Oberon".

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.
