If Proteus is a villain for NO then how does he get off New Olympus to menace our protagonists or does he stay on NO?
Greg responds...
I'm not going to get into the specifics of how he escaped at this time. But he does.

Why does Terry and Sphinx fall in love with each other? Afterall Sphinx isn't even human?
Greg responds...
And Terry isn't even Olympian. And Romeo wasn't a Capulet. And Juliet wasn't a Montague.
Why do any two people fall in love?
What an odd question.

Why would the Eternal looking NOs think that humans would worship them?
Greg responds...
Cuz once upon a time they did. And cuz they have power. And cuz they want to believe it.

What other New Olympians were you planning to introduce besides Ekidna, Medusa, Chiron, Jove, Helios, Boreas and his son?
Greg responds...
Eventually, lots. But you've covered the biggies for the time being. (If you throw in Taurus, Talos, Sphinx and Proteus.)
BTW. Kiron. Not Chiron.
What's with all the "anonymous" posts, anyway?
Anonymous writes...
What are Talos and Taurus's function in the show? Are they also ambassadors to the UN?
Greg responds...
Also? Taurus is the primary ambassador from New Olympus. Talos is his advisor. Sphinx is an aide.

You said that Sphinx was a student so what does she study?
Greg responds...
Among other things... humans.

Hi Greg,
You refer to Demona and Macbeth as "foot-soldiers" in the context that the Weird Sisters used them for (or sought to use them for). Isn't that a bit of an under-title for them? Why go through all the trouble of obtaining Demona and Macbeth if only to use them as "grunts"? First off, isn't the entire purpose of foot-soldiers/grunts to have a lot of them? Merely two suggest specialization, and indeed, they seem to have been chosen because they were special. What was the Archmage's motivation behind obtaining these two in particular, and any two in general? Did he just not want to have to get his hands dirty with "menial" tasks? Did he want the ego boost of having underlings? Were Demona and Macbeth candidates because they were "the best" and therefore more of an go boost?
Greg responds...
Terms like "foot soldier" and "cannon fodder" were clearly used by the Archmage to make him feel more important. In fact, he was cherry-picking very talented warriors.
Or one might argue, he had nothing to do with the selections. How did he even know about Macbeth? Sure his older self told him, but how did he know? Sure HIS older self told him, but how did he know? And so on, and so on, and so on...
Demona Taina writes...
This just ocurred to me. The night Puck put the spell on Demona, the "turn to human during the day" spell, wouldn't she had noticed that she was in PAIN when the sun rose? Instead she was just happily standing in front of a window, stretching and enjoying the heat.
1. Did Puck give her a little freebie in not letting her feel pain the first day?
2. Is it a script error?
3. If all of the above are negative, then what IS the deal?
Thanks for reading! :)
Greg responds...
1. Yes. He wanted shock value that first morning.
2. No.

How does Arthur get around in Pendragon? Where does he get the transportation to go to Antarctica, Stonehenge and Tintagel? Does Arthur have a base before New Camelot is found? Care to tell us where it is?
Greg responds...
Arthur is largely baseless. Though Griff and his friends are always welcome in London.
Transportation is an issue in the show. An on-going issue.

What purpose does Blanchefleur serve in Arthur's quest?
Why does she join Arthur?
Greg responds...
Not telling now.
