Greetings Mr.Weisman First let me say how much I enjoy watching gargoyles.So few television shows out there have the depth and focus that Gargoyles does,that and the positive outlook of its theme is a refreshing break from standard programming. Now if I may ask my questions;I have not seen these asked,but if they have been my apolgies for repeating them,and I did not find them in the archive. Question #1) AS eluded in the episode "Vows" the relationship between Xanatos and his father was not good,my and that was fully illustrated and explained though the particulars might still remail somewhat vague,even after his partial reconciliation later on ,my curiousity was peeked in as to his family background.Does David Xanatos have any siblings of his own or is he an only child? If he does were u ever thinking on introducing them into the storyline at some point? Question#2; I have seen nothing mentioned as to his mother was his father a widower?
If so when did she die,was he an adult at her death,or was he still a child?And if so how did it effect his developement?Was his obsession with control partially to compensate for this event? thankyou in advance DarkChyld
Greg responds...
1. Only child.
2. Petros is a widower. But I'm not prepared to say anything about David's mother at this time. However, I think it goes without saying that her death had an effect on David, on Petros, and on their relationship.

This is sort of a followup to my previous question about "The Hound Of Ulster," because you did ask.... I don't know Diane Duane personally (*sigh* don't I WISH) but she's written some other stuff with a fairly accurate hand about the Celtic myths, including Cuchullain; I don't know how she could know all that and still get confused about the "hound of Ulster". As for what else was wrong... well, the name "Cuchullain" actually means "Cullain's Hound" (Cullain was a lord of Ulster), and to make a long legend short, Cuchullain was called so because he defended Ulster throughout his life like a protective hound. ...Of course, it wouldn't be hard to fit a gargoyle beast into the original story somewhere.... But I find it hard to believe that anyone currently living in Ireland would consider the Hound of Ulster (a) an actual hound, or (b) a frightening creature. Molly's "ghost story" about the "Great Beast, the Hound of Ulster" bothered me a lot more than the eventual revelation of the "true story" (even though as far as the stories I've read say, Cuchullain never fought a Banshee in his life). I don't mind if the current versions of the legend aren't much like what "really happened," but I would expect modern-day people to know the current version. That said, I suppose I'd better actually _ask_ something, since this isn't the "Tell Greg" page....
You said you had plans for Rory and Molly. Isn't Molly actually the Banshee, and isn't she currently sort of grounded on Avalon? Or is it that the Banshee temporarily took the form of Molly, who is actually an ordinary human Irish girl?
Greg responds...
I know the Cuchullain story now. I didn't then. Diane didn't call me personally to fill me in. Maybe she or Peter told Michael Reaves, but Michael didn't tell me. I think the "answer" is more or less what you said.
The truth and the legend may not match up. We may also have added a legend to the "Gargoyles Universe" that doesn't exist in our universe. I do know that I had the whole thing confused in my head with the Barghest, if that helps. At one point, I suggested titling the whole script "The Barghest" and using Barghest for "Great Beast" occasionally. Diane, Peter and Michael objected to that, so we didn't do it. But no one brought up the rest of it.
I do have plans for Rory and Molly. And the only Molly I know is the Banshee. Heh heh heh.

I was wondering, in the Movie, thats on its way, is the Clan (Brooklyn, Broadway, Lex ect..) going to be in it?
Greg responds...
I don't know.

All hail Greg! To the point: how tall and heavy are Angela, Brooklynn, Goliath, Hudson, and Elisa? Will physical characteristics like this appear in your Encyclopedia?
Greg responds...
Numbers aren't my specialty, so no, I don't know the exact answers to those questions, and that kind of stuff isn't currently in the encyclopedia.

First off, Thanks for taking the time out to read this and second, I loved Gargoyles(so does my mom,my brothers, my fiance, and his Marine Corps buddies. 1.Are you in any way shape or form involved in the developing movie? 2. What is the projected release date? 3. Is Hollywood going to at least follow some of the storyline that the cartoon followed? 4. Even if the movie does get made(I hope!),who would you absolutely love to see portraying Goliath and Elisa? Thanks again for your time!
Greg responds...
1. A bit, but not much.
2. Summer, 1999, but that could change.
3. I don't know yet.
4. I'd love to see Keith and Salli reprise their roles, of course.

Hey Greg! Gotta few questions>1)If Oberon knew what the weird sisters had done relating to Demona and MacBeth, and the attacks on the Avalon clan, would he punish them for interfering in human affairs? If not, why not???
2)At what age would Brooklyn have met his mate, Katana? 3)What era is she from? 4)What part of the world is she from? 5)Have we met her or seen her on the show before? 6)What species is she? 7)You said awile ago that, in "Grief", Anubis didn't know gargoyles lived twice as long as humans, and therefore he aged them enough to kill them if they were humans. If he did that, then why did they look so old? He'd probably age them maybe 60 years which would make Goliath about 60 years old chronilogically and Angela about 48, making them only middle aged. But, after being aged in "Grief" They both looked positivly ancient! Why was this? Thank you very much for your time! :-)
Greg responds...
1. It depends on how it was presented and when. Oberon's not exactly Mr.
Consistent.
2. I haven't done the math in some time. Not too much older than he is now.
3. Feudal Japan.
4. Feudal Japan.
5. No.
6. Gargoyle.
7. That was Goliath's theory. Jackal was in control. He aged them a ton.
Enough, to kill them, he would have thought. He was wrong. You're doing math; Jackal-Anubis was tossing power around. I don't think he/they bothered with the numbers.

Thanks for answering my last question. Now I have another one. (1) Was Demona going to be a hero or villain in the Future Tense spin-off? If she is a good guy than what would her three grandchildren actually think of her?
You can proba ly tell that I really like Demona. (2) I mean REALLY How tall is the Eyrie Building? (3) How does your family feel about the show? (4) And I would like to thank you for the hardwork and dedication you put into 66 episodesand creating these wonderful charac ters (like Demona). And for answering our questions.
Greg responds...
1. I've answered this before. She'd be fighting on the side of the angels.
Whether that makes her a hero or not is subject to interpretation.
2. Tall.
3. They tell me they like it. But do you really think they'd say anything else? :)
4. You're welcome.

greg, i have two waves that sound like goliath and are gargoyle related, the word goddamit is used in this. If these are from an episode that never made air, can you tell me if these are real or not, if you don't know what i am talkin g about, i would be happy to mail you the waves.
Greg responds...
I don't know what you're talking about, but you don't need to bother mailing it to me. We never used that kind of language in any show. NEVER. So I'm sure what you've got is quite phoney. And by the way, there were no episodes that never "made air".

What is your stand on people using likenesses of your characters? Have you ever considered publishing your stories on the internet? If they can use it to sell useless crap like pornography, why not publish something worth while?
Greg responds...
Disney owns these characters, not me. I can't publish original material for profit, without getting permission from Disney.

Who says he doesn't have one now?
