Also another question, how did Demona buy her house? Obviously she can't go up to a real estate agent and ask if she could have a tour of the house.

Greg responds...

Stolen goods.

I just recently saw 'The Mirror' and when Demona's two 'hired help' went to deliver Titania's mirror, the thin one said 'Who lives here Dracula's daughter?' and the fat one responds by saying, 'Relax, I've done this before.'
My question is what was he delivering, if he was delivering anything, before?

Greg responds...

Stolen goods.

Emmle> My personal theory is that Titania said that Alex's diapers needed changing. Fox, never having changed nappies before, had the sudden urge to cry out: "Eaagh! *You* take him! Avalon's the place for him!"

(And, Todd, this is a joke - not a story idea: please don't delete it :-)

Anyway, I'd prefer if Greg never gives clues or reveals this particular bit of info in Ask Greg. Let's keep this tidbit a true mystery, the Thing That Will Remain Hidden even when all else is revealed.... :-)

Just a comment on the 2198 contest.
I logged in this morning, saw the contest, then I checked the asked queue. WOW. This is going to take a while to sort through. My thoughts went right to "Welcome to Wheel of Fortune!"
Anyway, Greg, may I buy a vowel?

Greg responds...

Sure. I'm selling "E"s for $219.99.

A's, I's and O's are a bargain at three for $300.00

U's are $29.50

Y's and W's are free if you buy over five hundred dollars worth.

Demona Taina writes...

Okay. I finally got around to ask this. [clears throat]

Do gargoyles need to go to the bathroom?

I figure, not. Since gargoyles turn to stone, stone should absorb everything and use it for energy. It would absorb the sun's rays and the energy the gargoyle got from the food he ate that night. Stone should use everything for energy..

Then again, I could be wrong, so I decided to ask Greg Weisman himself. [bows] So. Do they need to go to the bathroom or not? And if so, do they have to sneak into the police station to do so? :P

Greg responds...

There's a bathroom in the clock tower. But I've never checked to see if it's been used.

I heard about your "Hobgoblins of little minds" episode that you never got round to making. I found this in the big archives, and I was wondering what it was and what was about. I've searched the old and new archives and can't find anything on it except a little post where someone asks about in Possession, why Iago soul went from Brooklyn's body to Coldsteel through the torso, but Desdemona and Othello went through the mouths of the robots.
You responded by saying:
"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."
Well is now a good time to ask about the "Hobgoblin of little minds.
Why didn't I just ask you that in the first place?

I'm not sure why. Get back to me on that.

The oldest known legend about vampires comes from ancient Greece, where they were known as Vrykolakes-- uncorrupted human corpses inhabited by the spirit of a demon.

Let's ask this differently. Did Kate Mulgrew actually whisper something, a line or a statement, or did she just pretend to whisper? Did the line or statement appeared on the text of the voice cast or not? Beside you, does anyone else know what Titanis did whispered? What about the voice cast?

Will the line or statement meant to be revealed on future episodes of Gargoyles?

That's about it! I hope you add more to the speculations than the actual answer, it's funnier that way!

About the "Titania's-whisper-to-Fox": were actually lines(as in WORDS) written for Kate Mulgrew to speak/"whisper" to Laura San Giacomo(as Fox), or was Ms. Mulgrew just sort of going "pssst-pssst"(as in uttering noncoherent "whisperings")?

Why should iron harm the fae merely because iron ore predates their evolution? Plenty of things predate the fae; even Gargoyles and humans. Plenty of other metals must also have been around long before the fae. So why particularly cold iron?

LSZ (repost by Aris) writes...

Why I didn't like Odin's portrayal so much and Odin in general.

First of all, Odin was supposed to be the wisest of the gods, who sacrificed his very eye for wisdom and had to hang from a tree nine days dead, really dead, gone-to-Helheim-dead to gain even more wisdom of rune-making knowledge. He also interacted with humans frequently in the myths, and not always as a god-to-lesser-beings attitude. Odin in Gargoyles seemed kinda..dumb. His comment to Goliath about not being used to dealing with mortals seemed out-of-character. The mythological Odin seemed the type of person to try more subtle methods to gain the Eye. And also:

1) Where were Odin's ravens at the time?
2) Why has Sleipnir so few legs? He should have eight.
3) Where's Odin's magic spear Gungnir?

Greg responds...

Well, know one said that he'd been interacting with humans recently. He seemed somewhat hermetic to me.

1. In Miami.

2. I've answered this before. I know he should have had eight. He had eight in the script. The real reason he didn't in the show was because it was felt that the animators couldn't handle it and it would look horrible. The in-Universe reason is that Sleipnir is also a shape-shifter and can have as many legs as he wants to at any given time. He was in a four leg mood right then.

3. In Barbados.

(Sorry, Odin didn't please you. But I don't think our interpretations are mutually exclusive. I certainly don't disagree with yours, nor do I find it inconsistent with ours. I certainly don't think he was dumb. Just rusty. In any case, he achieved his ends.)

Y'know, it's amazing how many of my questions seem to end up in the Smart Ass Responses category.

Please tell me the Magus' given name.

And since you asked, Xellos is a character from the Slayers anime series, who has a habit of simply side-stepping any questions he doesn't want to answer. (Like someone else I could mention)

If you haven't seen Slayers, I recommend it highly. Hey, it's got a destructive magic-using redhead for a main character. What more need I say?

Greg responds...

It's also amazing how many of my responses end up in that category. I wonder why that is?

So, I'm confused. Are you saying Xellos is the Magus' given name?

The question of what Titania whispered to Fox has been very popular, most likely because your refusal to answer it implies that it is something significant. My question to you is whether Titania's message does indeed contain important information, or whether you simply find it amusing to mislead the fandom into thinking she is saying something important.

Greg responds...

Both, of course.

In the episode "Revelations", Mace Malone's key to the Hotel Cabal bears a large number 23 on it. What interested me about that is that, in conspiracy theory mythology, the number 23 is often held to be a number of great mystical significance in relation to Illuminati-style secret organizations. Was the number on Malone's key intended as a little reference to that theory?

Alright, in Hunters Moon, my personal favorite episode, Demona almost unleashed a magical disease that would have killed all sentience. Gargoyles would be immune to it's effects thanks to the Praying Gargoyle.
Now we all know Goliath smashed the statue and saved the world. But what if this was not the case...
1. All humans would have died. Macbeth is obviously human. Would this not have qualified as death at Demona's hands, thus killing Demona (oops)?
2. If not, would she fall prey to it when she turned into human form? How would this work?
3. Would this spread to Avalon and/or the isle of the New Olympians?
4. How would it affect... Oberon's Children?
5. ...New Olympians?
6. ...Gargoyle clones?
7. Any other effects?

Thanks for your time. Love your rambles, by the way, look forward to next season's rambles.

Greg responds...

More hypothetical questions... YAY!

1. I've answered this many times before. Try looking through the Demona or Macbeth archives. Briefly, it would depend on Demona's intent.

2. I'm sure she thought she was safe.

3. No reason why it wouldn't spread to New Olympus. No reason why it would spread to Avalon.

4. Potentially not at all.

5. Kill most of them probably.

6. Not at all.

7. Anyone who asks hypothetical questions based on untread pathes would die. :)
