Why was Lexington usally not the main character?
Greg responds...
Because Goliath was the main character. Lex got his episodes, and he would have gotten more. But when you have a large ensemble cast, it's hard to give everyone enough moments in the sun, (so to speak).

Someone brought up an episode called "Timedancer". Was this episode ever created, or was it something you were thinking about writing?
Greg responds...
TIMEDANCER was a proposed spin-off series that would have starred Brooklyn.
Disney didn't go for it. I suggested that the idea be incorporated into GOLIATH CHRONICLES. I laid out a story for an episode. It never happened.
They went another way, a totally other way, and wound up with that RUNAWAYS episode of Chronicles.

You said that some Comic universes inspired you. Is that why the Hunter reminds me of a certain comic book character (Azrael)? On the topic of Hunters -- how many Hunters have there been? By this I mean, ever, not named/seen.
Greg responds...
The notion of a universe of characters inspired me, ala Simpsons or Yoknapatawpha. Not any of the specific characters.
I'm not that familiar with Azrael. Is he the guy who was Batman for awhile?
I hated the notion that someone other than Dick Grayson might take over that role, so I didn't bother to read any of that.
I haven't sat down and counted all the Hunters. I won't pretend I know every detail about every Hunter. At least, not yet.

I am asking about the possiblity of a book. There have been many "Making of" books published by Hyperion. All have been of theatrical animated movies. I don't seem to remember any "Making of" books about an animated TV series. I would love to see a compilation of conceptual art, deleated characters, and early character designs, from the Gargoyles series. It seems that these books sell very well, so I was curious about the possibilities of you (Greg) writing a book.
Greg responds...
I'd love to. As I've mentioned before, I've been working on a GARGOYLES ENCYCLOPEDIA on and off for years. I'm almost done. A "Making Of" book or a GARGOYLES COMPANION would be fun too. I don't know how likely publication is, though. Maybe when the movie comes out. We can keep our fingers crossed.

Were there any plans for Elisa to get significantly involved in Illuminati plot threads (she seems to be getting a LOT of attention these days)?
Greg responds...
It depends what you mean. Elisa tends to get involved with most things that involve her friends. But obviously, the point person for my next Illuminati story would have been either Matt or David.

How long has the present head of the Illuminati been around (since they have that wonderful medical plan)?
Greg responds...
He's the founder.
Anonymous writes...
Since we saw the presence of the Illuminati in or around 975 AD, I'm assuming that you've decided to alter the facts about the real Illuminati and create a fictional history of them. If that's so, then when was this Illuminati founded?
Greg responds...
The organization that would eventually be known as the Illuminati was founded a century after the "death" of King Arthur.

What're Disney's thoughts on The Gathering? Do you think its sucess/failure, as well as the types of people attending, will impact their future plans for Gargs in any way?
Greg responds...
I don't know if Disney "officially" knows about the Gathering.

When Dean finishes his script, will we get the low-down on what's going on? Or will you just sit back and laugh while you watch us suffer?
Greg responds...
I need to let Producer Tom Jacobson decide what information he wants "leaked". It's his movie. I'm just along for the ride.

When you were working on the first two seasons of Gargs, how much control did you have over the show? Were your ideas ever rejected? Was it really a "team effort", or was it an "Greg is God! Bow down and worship him, Mortal scum!" Oberon-ish sort of thing?
Greg responds...
I had a lot of control vis-a-vis Disney Management. The executives largely left me alone to do the stories I wanted to do. Only one story ever got rejected, and even I have to admit it was a pretty risky endeavor.
But keep in mind, I didn't produce the show alone. Frank Paur was my equal partner from day one. Also Dennis Woodyard and Bob Kline had producing duties as well. We all worked together.
I also like to think we were open to input from anyone on the staff. A lot of great ideas originated from other sources.
But I did get to tell the stories I wanted to tell. 66 of them at least.
And I was the one guy who had been on the project from the beginning of development through the end of post-production, so I had a more comprehensive point-of-view.
But no, no matter how much it might have pleased (I mean embarrassed) me, no one ever referred to me as "God".
