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")?

Greg responds...

You're trying to trick me ...

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?

Greg responds...

WHY NOT?

That last question of mine got me thinking...

Are there flying pigs in the Gargoyles Universe?

(Believe it or not, that's actually a serious question. Go fig.)

Greg responds...

I've got the bacon, do you have the catapult?

Oh sure Greg. The boxers or briefs question gets a straight answer, but Joxter and I keep getting smartass answers. ;)

So, do gargoyle talons leave marks when they walk across a hardwood floor?

Greg responds...

Didn't we answer this at the con?

[And by the way, I'm no more a carpenter than a biologist.]

What did Odin whisper to the dead Balder the Light?
What did Titania whisper to Fox?

Was Norse myth the source that inspired you to put in the scene that had Titania whispering to Fox?

Greg responds...

Haven't thought about this.
Maybe something about Balder?

No.

In the recent "Meet the Pros" chat, Cary Bates said that there might have eventually been introduced into the series a gargoyle named "Staten". Is that the case, or was he just joking?

Greg responds...

Joking. Trust me. Joking.

A slightly silly question, but: do gargoyle beasts ever suffer from fleas, ticks, and other parasites?

Greg responds...

Not during the day.

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.)
