Just thought that I might tell you that I was very amused (LOL), in fact, by your answer to the question about whether pigs can fly in the Gargoyles Universe ("I've got the bacon, do you have the catapult?") - particularly since I'd never imagined firing pigs from a catapult as a means of accomplishing that feat.

Greg responds...

Then you don't watch enough Monty Python.

Will the season continue in the future?

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!

Greg responds...

It's funnier which way? Cuz I want to be funny. And it's hard.

Just what is it that makes Mab and Oberon so powerful?

In the episode the gathering (part 2) what did titania whisper to fox at the end of the episode. I have been wondering this for a long time.

Greg responds...

You and what army?

Oh, yeah. That army. <WAVES> "Hi, guys!"

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.)

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?

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.)

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?

Hey Greg ^_^

I'm a huge E&G fan (Elisa and Goliath, but I'm sure you know that o.O) and I was wondering, in absolutely any way, would Goliath and Elisa EVER have kids? *waits for beating* >;)

Greg responds...

Admit it, for a huge E&G fan, you couldn't be bothered to check either the E or G archive and get your answer immediately. Instead you post a question here and wait over a month for a response that I've already posted MANY times before. Right?

Anyway, "kids" plural?

As a curiosity, how tall are the gargoyles? Any specific heights are appreciated.
thank you

Greg responds...

They're not all the same height.

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.

Onward with more serious stuff!

If a does of Iron didn't kill a fey could they processes it out of their system?

Does having more or less magic effect how deadly Iron is?

If so, which way, more magic=more deadly/effects, or visa versa?

Is it posible to build up a tolerance?

Greg responds...

You mean like a pill? Like an iron supplement?

I'm not sure they carry that at the local Avalon pharmacy.

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?

Greg responds...

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

1) You said earlier that Oberon has siblings; how many?
2) Of what gender are they?
3) Do Titania or Puck have siblings?

Greg responds...

1. Did I say that?

2. What are my choices?

3. Both of them or either?

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. :)
