Hi, Mr. Weisman. :)

1) Are you ever going to tell who created the artifacts ASIDE from the
writers and artists who created them in OUR world? <:)

2) Who turned Odin's lost eye into the Eye of Odin artifact?

3) Did you plan to include any Hindu legends or figures in Gargoyles?

3a) Did you plan to include Babylonian, Pacific Islander, or any other
mythologies in Gargoyles?

4) Did you plan to have more gods or mythological figures of various
mythologies already seen in the show (ie Ancient Egyptian, Nordic,
Ashante) appear?

5) Are Puck, Anansi, Coyote, and Raven the only tricksters among the
Third Race? If there are others, could you name a few?

6) Would Brooklyn have traveled to any more contemporary eras (ie the
1950s, the Summer of Love, the 1980s) in TimeDancer?

6a) Would he have gone to Russia, China, or India?

7) Do the Illuminati know about Nokkar?

8) Would any other famous classics of literature's characters or
situations appear? (from Victor Hugo's, HG Wells, HP Lovecraft, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, Jules Verne, etc.)

Greg responds...

1. Ever is a long time.

2. A story for another day.

3. Eventually.

3a. Ditto.

4. Ditto.

5. There are others, but you can look 'em up as easy as me.

6. Maybe.

7. Heh, heh, heh.

8. Yep.

First, I just want to say YOU are the MAN!

1) Is the Couldren of Life the same one that the Wyrd sisters were
"double double toil and trouble"-ing in the City of Stone flashback?

2) Where did you guys come up with a great idea like the Illuminati?
Your not like, part of them or anything... right?

Greg responds...

1. Hmmm. Maybe it was.

2. Michael Reaves suggested adding it to the mix, as I recall.
And come to think of it, I have seen him in possesion of a one dollar
bill. Hmmmm.

Lots of Hmmmmms in this one.

1.) This isn't exactly a question, but it's really, realy interesting,
not to mention slightly terrifying. Check out this website:
www.xanatos.com/.

2. Is Demona's changing to human in the daytime just a spell placed
on her, or is it part of her genetic structure? (i.e., if Demona has a kid,
would they change, too, to whatever extent they would, depending on what
species she hypothetically had kids with?) AACK! Run-on sentence! Sorry!

3. What kid of big cat genes *were* used to mutate Fang, anyways?
There are no big cats in nature that are that color of dark, UNIFORM brown.

4.Yeah, it's already been asked 40-50 times, but I might as well try-
What did Titania whisper in Fox's ear?

Oh, darnit, I had all sorts of great wquestoins, but I forgot them
when I came in here. :( Thanks for your time, oh great Garg creator! AHA!
OH, YEAH! 5. Can Fae and gargoyles interbreed? If so, can Fae/gargs interbreed
w/ humans? Can Fae/human interbreed w/gargs?

Greg responds...

1. I've seen it. As comment, let me say this. When we first
were naming the Xanatos' company we chose the name XANACORP. We ran it
by our business affairs department (i.e. legal). But a Xanacorp already
existed, so we couldn't use it. So then we chose XANATOS ENTERPRISES.
We ran that one by legal too. They gave it a clean bill of health,
meaning no company existed with that name at that time (late '93, early
'94).

2. I think I've answered the kid question before. Check the
archives.

3. I've answered this before too.

4. :)

5. A changeling is a shapeshifter. If you change into a
compatible shape, you can breed with anything compatible to that shape.
Witness Titania breeding with Halcyon. So yes, a fae could breed with a
gargoyle by changing into a gargoyle first. All the other questions
depend on the abilities of the result of these mixed-race unions.

Hello, Mr. Weisman! First off let me say that I think you and your
team vastly improved the world by creating Gargoyles! Also, I appologize
in advance if any of these questions have been asked before (I have been
unable to view the full archive).

1)If a gargoyle is killed at night, what happens to the body? Does it
turn to stone one last time, or just stay flesh?

2a)Since Angela and the other "eggs" were raised on Avalon by two
medieval humans, does this mean that they have been raised as Christians (even
very generally)?

2b) If so, what does Angela think about the more undefined "religion"
the other Gargoyles follow?

3a) Since Hudson has facial hair, but not the others, does this mean
they shave? ;)

3b) (kinda silly but...) Could female gargs have facial hair (beards
and sideburns and such)?

4) Approximately how many gargoyles (including clans we never saw
during the show) were there alive during the course of the show?

Greg responds...

1. Stays flesh, as long as flesh stays flesh.

2a. Sort of. Certainly, with a sense of Christian values.
But neither the Princess, the Magus or Tom were particularly devout.

2b. I think (or at least I like to think) that the Magus taught
them a bit of that. He had time to research Gargoyle society between
the Massacre and the death of King Kevin. And he knew the eggs would
hatch eventually. He'd have wanted to do right by Goliath's children.
So I think they were raised with a sense of their own true faith. It's
sort of a Christianized version, with a healthy pagan influence, but I
doubt that the fairly non-intrusive religion of the Manhattan Gargoyles
would have been shocking. Interesting questions.

3a. It might. It's also possible that facial hair doesn't
exist on certain gargoyles and that on others it doesn't start to grow
in until the gargoyle is much older.

3b. I doubt it. Throughout the animal kingdom, males have a
plumage thing going. But, you never know.

4. I've never counted.

Hi Greg -- this may have been asked before, in various forms, but I
don't recall seeing it answered, so I thought I'd add you to the list of
screenwriters I've bugged.

I have wanted to write cartoons since I was about nine or ten and have
been writing assorted fiction two or three hours a day, ever day, since
sixth grade (I'm 22.) What specific advice would you have for somebody ready
and willing to produce a sample script?

I've been told to:

1.) Submit a correctly formatted sample script to agents -- which
leads to two questions -- A) What does a correctly formatted cartoon screenplay
LOOK like? I've taken a VERY unhelpful college screenwriting class -- got
an "B", learned the three act structure, and got a blank look and a "that's an
interesting career goal" when I asked the professor about cartoon
screenplays. And B) How does one find an agent knowledgeable in the
field? I have friends with "agents", and have heard enough horror stories to be
wary.

2.) I've also been told to move to LA -- which isn't going to happen
for health reasons (I have significant asthma and other serious health
problems -- smog can and has put me in the hospital) but *shrug* it's
only about seven hours from my house to Los Angeles. HOW important is it to
actually live in California? (I'm in Phoenix and have no intention of
leaving the perfectly good and interesting job I have now for a pipe
dream in Hollywood, at least not yet.)

3.) I've also been told to break into other writing fields first --
which is something I'm working on, without much luck so far. Do I have ANY hope
of getting a foot in a door without a resume of previously published
work?

4.) Finally, are there any books or other materials specifically aimed
at writing animated screenplays? One of my big questions is how much of
the action do I describe -- I know describing action in a live action
screenplay is a big No-No, but cartoons are a bit differant ... and nobody I've
been able to talk to knows the answer to this one. (I could cheerfully
follow the accepted protocols, if only I knew what they were!)

Greg responds...

1A. Get one. Write to a cartoon company for a show you're
interested in writing a spec script for and ask them to mail you copies
of a script. Some will say no, but if you send a polite letter complete
with a self-addressed stamped envelope, someone with a little free time
will eventually make a xerox for you and send it out.

1B. Get a job in animation, and you'll hear about agents. If
you get successful, the agent may even come to you. But agents rarely
get a new writer his or her first job.

2. It's extremely important. A well-known writer can live
anywhere. But even a well-known writer risks losing out on interesting
opportunities due to "out-of-sight-out-of-mind." Cary Bates doesn't
live in L.A., but I use him. But keep in mind that I've known him for
years. He and I were writing partners for years. He was one of the
groomsmen at my wedding. That is, he's an exception. He lives in
Northern California and can fly in at the drop of a hat. But people
forget about him. He knows it. It's a risk he runs cause he hates L.A.
(Me, I was born here, and I love this town.) Now, you. You are a new
writer. I don't know how the hell you break in while living in Phoenix.
You can't network, etc. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't
want to kid you either. You'd have to write a killer script (not just a
good one), fly in here often and still overcome the prejudice that you
don't live in town.

3. I don't think this matters as much. God knows a full resume
doesn't hurt. My comic book and teaching experience definitely helped
me get my first couple of jobs in animation. But there are other ways.
A lot of writers at Disney started out as comedians at the GROUNDLINGS
or the IMPROV, for example.

4. I teach a course on this subject. I'm teaching it again in
the fall of '98 (here in L.A.). It takes me ten weeks. So I'll never
be able to condense all that here for you now. So if you want to be
self-taught, get a lot of animation scripts. Then read and study them.

-[a]-   In your vision of the Gargoyles Universe, what is the true
identity of the Bard of Avon?  i.e., do you side with the Stratfordians and say
Shakespeare's just _that_, or are you more of a Bacon/de Vere type of
guy?

-[b]-   Would Shakespeare have any connection (any at all) to the
Illuminati or Rosicrucians?

Greg responds...

a] Shakespeare is Shakespeare on any world, as far as I'm
concerned. I've never seen any even vaguely convincing evidence of the
other school. Nothing. This is on top of the fact that Shakespeare was
a minor celbrity in his day. It's like someone 100 years from now
saying that Neil Simon never wrote "The Odd Couple" or whatever.
Frankly, Simon isn't as big a celebrity to us today, as Shakespeare was
in his day. I don't think a secret that big could have been kept
secret. Ben Johnson (a man whose credits no one questions) was
Shakespeare's friend and competitor. Why would Johnson have put up with
a front man? In private and in public? Rubbish.

b] Perhaps.

HI Greg. I just have a few "what if" and "do you think" type questions
for ya, so please bear with me.
Do you think Gargoyles would have done better in the ratings
department if it were a non-saga type show? (Where all the episodes aren't
interconnected, and if you miss one you can get completely lost in the story line. Of
course this would take away the whole point of the show, but I am just
asking) I am asking this because of a trend I am seeing with series. Take
Batman: TAS and Star Trek for example; these show are somewhat saga like, but
if you miss one or two episodes it really doesn't throw you off, and the
fandom of these shows is wider, but the fandom isn't very strong.
Now Take Gargoyles and another pure saga show like Babylon 5; the
fandom isn't diverse but the fans of it are VERY loyal to the show.
(Would you agree with me on those last 2 statements?)
Also speaking of Babylon 5, are you a fan of that show, or have you
ever watched it? Because (IMHO) that is defiantly one of the best written shows out
there and ever beats Gargoyles by a good factor.

Greg responds...

I watched the pilot to Babylon 5. I didn't care for it. Later
people told me the show was good. So I tried to watch an episode. And
appropos of your question, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. What I
saw didn't make me desperate to figure it all out. So is that a viewer
connection issue or a "Saga" issue? Maybe some of each. Was all this
an issue with Gargoyles? Undoubtedly, though I tried to make every
episode of Gargoyles somewhat accessable. Did I succeed? I don't know.
Up to a point, I'm sure I did. Up to a point from the other direction,
I'm sure I didn't. But at any rate, I made the show I wanted to make.
No regrets there.

Hello Greg. Thank you for taking the time to help us. Here are some ?
that I would really be thankful if you answerd:

1) Is the Captain of the Guard one of Oberons children? If he isn't
then when Hakon asks him why did he betray his own kind, why did he answer
in such a serious manner that they're NOT his kind.

2) This is just my oppinion, but Yama and Brooklyn have some things in
common. They're both loyal to theire clans but somehow they betray
them to someone they thought they could trust. Brooklyn to Demona and Yama to
Taro. Could another thing they have in common be that Yama will (or already
is) the 2 in command in his clan?

3) Oberon became king when he got rid of Queen Mab (right?) so if
Merlin is Oberon's REAL child, could one day Merlin become King of Avalon?

4) You've said that, someday, Lex will find a mate. After that, how
many children would he and his mate have?

5) Before Lex finds the right girl, would he have shown any sings of
jealousy toward both his brother now that they all had a mate but not
him?

Greg responds...

1. No. The nobles of the castle were not his type. He didn't
like them. That wasn't meant to imply that the Captain wasn't human.
He was very human. Maybe too human.

2. I think Yama has more in common with Demona. In fact, I
viewed the BUSHIDO story as a modern-day retelling of AWAKENING, Parts
One and Two. It had a happier ending, but that was because Taro's goal
was decidedly more modern than Hakon and the Captain's.

3. I doubt it. Merlin's a halfbreed and a bastard. He's very
powerful by human standards, but not by Oberati standards. Besides, I
think Titania might have something to say about the choice. And I doubt
Merlin wants the job.

Do you realize what I've done? Let's say I ever get to do the
PENDRAGON spin-off in some format, someday. Arthur and Griff (and one
other) search for Merlin. O.K., no big surprise, they eventually find
him (after much trouble and tribulation). Then at some point in the
series our cast comes up against OBERON. Oberon takes out Arthur, Griff
and ... (ah, ah, I'm not telling now). He then turns to Merlin, who
says "What will you do now..." Long Pause. "...Father?" Dah dah dah.
Oh, my god. Oberon is Merlin's father. Of course, it makes such sense.
Maybe some of you guessed. But many of you have that wonderful feeling
of surprise. EXCEPT... ALL OF YOU ALREADY KNOW. Doesn't that suck?
Oh, well. Can't unring a bell.

4. I'm not saying right now.

5. Yes.

Thanks for answering my questions:

#1) You said once that the current leader of the Illuminati was also
the founder. Does this mean that he is immortal??

#2) I think you said is name was Duval or something like that, is this
right(leader of the Illuminati)??

#3)If you were planning to do a DARK AGES spin-off, how would you deal
with the names thing??

#4) Brooklyn mentioned in one episode the play A MID-SUMMER NIGHT'S
DREAM(which is one of my favorites). Did Shakespeare know Puck, or
another member of Oberan's children??

#5)If the Pheonix Gate can take you anyplace you want as well as
anytime, how would Brooklyn cope with all the different languages in his TIMEDANCER adventures??

#6)Is there a place were I can find your "Master Plan" or did you just
send it to certain people??

Greg responds...

1. Pretty much. Doesn't mean he'll live forever.

2. Yeah. Duval. But it's one of many aliases.

3. I've answered this before. Check the archives.

4. I haven't decided. He did know Macbeth. But he didn't know
he knew Macbeth.

5. With difficulty. Real difficulty.

6. It's been posted a few places. You might check out
Castle.Net. Does that still exist? (Gore, feel free to add an addendum
here if you can answer this question. Heck, maybe you could just post
the Master Plan right here so that we can make it part of the archives

thanks for answering ever more questions.

#1) If gargoyle eggs take 10 years to hatch, and a female is only
fertile every 20 years, I take it that means that a gargoyles can have no
brothers are sisters unless they are 30 or 40 years older or they had a twin.
Would it be 30 or 40 years, I'm not very good in math??

#2) Did MacBeth or Demona ever have any feelings of compasion for one
another?? Did they at least regaurd each other as friends??

Greg responds...

1. If you're talking about biological brothers, it would be 20
years between siblings. (One egg every twenty years, means one
blood-sibling every twenty years. Get it?) But you guys are obsessing
about blood relations. A gargoyle would not regard a blood sibling as a
rookery brother or sister. They would simply be another older member of
the clan. Whereas, they'd be raised with thirty or so rookery siblings,
many of which they'd be close to for the rest of their lives. Brooklyn
may have had a blood-sibling who died in the massacre, but he was much
closer to his rookery siblings Broadway and Lexington, who survived.

2. I think during Macbeth's so-called Golden Age of rule after
the death of Duncan and before Canmore's return with the English, he and
Demona shared mutual respect and regard for each other. Some compassion
perhaps. Something that bordered on friendship, even if Demona didn't
admit it to herself or anyone.

1. Maybe.

2. Don't know.

3. Well, doing more Gargoyles actually happened: GOLIATH
CHRONICLES. So that would be #1. Second would have to be BAD GUYS,
which we developed extensively and did an animatic reel. Third would
probably be DARK AGES, which we did a short art pitch on and actually
pitched to CBS. Fourth, would probably be a tie between NEW OLYMPIANS,
which we did another art pitch on (for internal purposes) and PENDRAGON,
which I pitched verbally and internally and sparked some brief interest.
Sixth would be FUTURE TENSE, which CBS expressed a brief interest in.
Seventh would be TIMEDANCER, which I basically came up with too late in
the game. It was never seriously considered.

I have a few questions I would like to ask:

1) We know that Demona and the Captain of the Guard worked together to
betray the Castle to the Vikings, but who came up with the idea in the
first place?

2) On a related note, we saw in City of Stone that Demona had the
opportunity to warn some of the clan about the Vikings- so why didn't
she? Surely she didn't really believe that one person (the Captain) would
be able to stop the entire Viking horde from destroying the clan. It seems to
me that she could have made up some story about overhearing the Captain
conspiring with another guard, adn warned the others to leave. After
all, gargoyles may protect, but I would think the gargoyles would have
realized that, with the Vikings attacking at dawn, there would be nothing the
clan could do to help and that it was necessary for them to flee.

3)We know that gargoyles do not formally acknowledge individual
parentage, but do they have some informal methods of keeping track of these
things? I ask this because it seems to me that, depending on the number of times
a female becomes fertile in her lifetime and the approximate age at
which the cycle begins, there could be the possibility of inbreeding among
gargoyles(I worked it out assuming that the cycle starts at the biological age of
20 and lasted for three breeding cycles, and found that there appeared to be
the possibility of uncles/aunts mating with their nieces/nephews, as well
as the chance for 1st cousins to breed).

Greg responds...

1. The captain.

2. She was a coward. Emotionally, she still is.

3. It's possible, but unlikely. It's also possible that
pheremones and a gargoyle sense of smell would reduce the likelihood of
biological incest.

Hi Greg. There are somethings I need to know about your great cartoon.
Also these questions I had to ask are things I have noticed that the Disney
people didn't exactly tell about.

1) Even though Puck was training Alex, was Puck sapossed to train Fox
also or not?

2) After the episode, "Hunter's Moon" was concluded, the Disney
people didn't make a new season to show that Jason's little brother, Jon was
wanting some new revenge on the gargoyles. Also, Jon was going to
still hunt down Demona. Why is it that these two things never showed up on a
new season or on the last season?

3) After Titania said her good-byes to Fox and Alex, Titania wispered
something in Fox's ear. What was it and what did Titania say to Fox
that no one could understand?

4) Will there be anymore Gargoyle comic books and Gargoyle trading
cards? These two things I never know where around,plus they never avetized
them on tv.Why? And I sure would like to have some of the comic books and
trading cards. Please answer these to your best ability. May Gargoyles live
forever.

Greg responds...

1. No.

2. I had nothing to do with the GOLIATH CHRONICLES after "The
Journey". I can't tell you why they did and didn't chose to pursue
various threads after that episode.

3. See the archives for one of my many clever non-answers to
this question.

4. Not to my knowledge.

Hello, Mr. Weisman.

First off, thank you soooooo much for that magnificent series of
yours, Gargoyles. (Ho-kay, that's out of my system.) :)
Only two questions for you, sir. I am a newbie at this (using
substandard equipment that crashes when it tries to process anything from the Web
larger than 150k), so if these have been asked before, I apologize for being
redundant.

1) A lot of people have asked about breaking into animation as an
artist/animator. How would one go about breaking in as a writer (the
more important part of the equation, if you ask me.)?

2) I don't mean to get you into any trouble with this question, but
here goes: Looking back on what's happened with your creation, do you
think it would have had a longer/shorter life had it been done with a different
studio (i.e. Warner Brothers, who seems to do superheroics much better
than Disney)?

3) Do you have any current *live action* writings in development
(movies, TV series, music videos)?

Greg responds...

1. I don't think one is more important than the other. I have
answered this in more detail in the archive. Read and Write. Get good.
Write spec scripts. Read. Proofread. Read Aloud. Write. Write.
Write. Make phone calls. Network.

2. This has been asked before too. It's SO HYPOTHETICAL as to
border on the incomprehensible, like asking me whether the series would
have lasted longer if I were over six feet tall. I don't know how to
speculate on this. So let me just reiterate that Disney created the
environment that allowed me to create this show. I don't think that
environment would have existed ANYWHERE else. Disney's far from
perfect, but I get a little tired of people implying that they suck. I
worked there for almost seven years. I was an executive for five of
those years. Part (a small part) of the Disney establishment, even. I
saw a lot of goofy decisions get made, but I saw a lot of good stuff get
made too. How would being at Warners have helped? I doubt we'd ever
even have developed the show. Sorry for the tirade, but I think
occasionally we all need to take a reality check and put things in
perspective.

3. No.

If Goliath knew that no one had the power to change time with the

Oberon doesn't have the power to change history?

As you may have seen, the Gate has much potential for mischief
without changing history. Besides, would you have given it to Puck

Hi Greg! Thanks in advance:

1) Do gargoyle beasts give birth in litters or singly?

2) Are all the female gargoyles in a clan on the same 20 year
fertility cycle? It was implied that all the eggs on Avalon hatched around the
same time.

3) Are the males also only fertile every 20 years?

4) How many gargoyle beasts were there in the Wyvern clan before the
massacre?

5) I realize you didn't write that episode, but could you please
explain why the clones turned to stone when they died?
6) Is Demona's 2nd clan (the one supposedly killed by Canmore's men)
really dead?

Greg responds...

1. Singly.

2. Yes and Yes.

3. Fertile? Is that the right word? I think male and female
gargoyles have sex more often than once every twenty years, if that's
what you're trying to get at in a round about way.

4. I don't know the exact number. A handful.

5. No, because I not only didn't write the episode, I was more
or less appalled by it. Why would you ask me that?

6. Yep.

Hello Greg! Just wanted to ask you a question.

1) In "Double Jeopardy" I saw that Thailog had red eyes. Since you
have said earlier that only female gargoyles have red eyes, does he have them
because of the pigment mix-up thing?

Greg responds...

Yep.

Greg Hi again. I came up with a few more for you.

1. In which spinoff did you plan for Demona to see the light? I'm
really wondering if this would occur in Goliath or Angela's life times or
after they are both dead. Whatever brings her to her senses must have been
something else. A pity I can't think of a simple way to ask what it
was.

2. Gargoyles lay only one egg at a time. There were 36 eggs in the
rookery. Therefore you had to have at least 72 gargoyles in the clan
at Castle Wyvern. Throw in the single gargs, those that were to young or
too old to mate, and that number might even be over a hundred. Yet in the
past you mentioned that their were only about 30 to 40 gargs in the Wyvern
clan. Am I missing something?

3. You mentioned before that Coldsteel would still be a threat to the
clan. Considering that Demona shares responsiblity for his first death,
you'd think he'd want revenge on her as well. So why was he so cooperative
during High Noon, and would he be inclined to go after her now. (Not that
this would necessarily accomplish anything for him)

Greg responds...

1. Not going to reveal that here.

2. Over 20 years, a lot of death can take place.

3. I'm not sure how aware he is of Demona's guilt.

I am not sure if anyone has asked this already or not, but I noticed
that there seem to have been two versions of the episode "Vows" released.
This is the episode where Goliath, Demona, Xanatos and Fox use the Phoenix
Gate to go back in time (on the occasion of Xanatos' and Fox's marriage. I
noticed that the first time I saw the episode, in the opening scene
Goliath and Xanatos are duking it out (fighting). At one point Xanatos
backhands Goliath and as Goliath staggers back a stream of blood can be seen
flying from his mouth. In the same episode, at a later time, Demona (the
younger version) runs up to Goliath (also the younger version) and embraces
him, as she does so she runs the inside of her thigh up along his
suggestively. These two scenes shocked me at the time. (It was the first time I had
saw such things on the show). But, the next time I saw the episode on TV,
(about three months later) these two scenes had been altered. There
was no blood to be seen, and Demona just hugged Goliath (minus the thigh).
My question is this...Were you aware of these changes? And why were
they made? Did some parent complain?

Greg responds...

1. I don't remember if I was aware of them, but I'm not aware
of any parental complaint.

Hey Greg,

1. How old would Xanatos have been when Brooklyn visits him in
Timedancer? What year would it have been? If you don't know exactly how old he
would have been, what about a general idea: Child, preteen, teen, young
adult, adult?

2. Patrick Stewart>Anubis, Oberon, Arthur? Any of those?

3. Number three is going to come as a seperate post just in case it
gets cut.

4. Are gargoyles and dragons related? Other than the statue in
Pendragon, would there have been any more dragons in gagoyles? Any details?

5. Pterasaurs have wings much like gargoyle wings, and they glided
too. Paleantologists believe they may have been resonably intelligent,
considering the intelligence of other creatures in those times
(dinosaurs) Any relation to gargoyles?

Greg responds...

1. Younger adult.

2. Your answer is wrong. No other hints. Although Todd has
already answered correctly. Check the archives for his answer.

3. O.K. That's probably smart.

4. Maybe. Yep. Nope.

5. Maybe.

In The Mirror, Elisa asks the clan what Demona would want with a
mirror, and Hudson answers that it's Titania's Mirror. My question is how did he
know it was Titania's Mirror? Was this a subtle forshadowing of a as of
yet untold story?

Greg responds...

It was advertised as Titania's Mirror. There was a big sign
outside the Museum.

In Possession, when Iago is moved from Brooklyn's body to the
Coldsteel shell, his soul merged with the robot. But when Othello and Desdemona
were moved into Coldstone and Coldfire, their souls entered the shells
throught the mouths, unlike what had just happened to Coldsteel. Was this an
animation error or was this intentional? And if it was intentional,
then can you give me just a small clue as to what you had planned?

Greg responds...

Not an error. Two ways of visualizing the same basic event.
Neither are wrong, but don't read too much significance into it. "A
petty consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" -- Ralph Waldo
Emerson ;)

Someday someone should ask me about the "HOBGOBLIN OF LITTLE
MINDS" episode that I never got around to doing.
