Just one question I've been wondering for a while
What would happen if a Gargoyle were to go into space (on a shuttle or something)? would it go into stone sleep until it came back to earth?
Greg responds...
No.
Anonymous writes...
How old is Nokkar's race?
How old is the Space Spawn?
Which one is older?
Greg responds...
Old.
Old.
Nokkar's.
Anonymous writes...
Is there a reason why Nokkar is humanoid in appearance? I mean the chances that aliens would resemble humans is pretty slim.
Is Nokkar's very long lifespan natural? If not how does he keep himself alive?
Greg responds...
Call it artistic license or evolutionary coincidence, whatever makes ya happy.
It's natural.
Todd Jensen writes...
Are the Space-Spawn native to the Milky Way galaxy, or do they hail from a different galaxy?
Greg responds...
One galaxy at a time, I say.
LSZ writes...
To the aliens-as-gods question; yes, other than NOkkar
Greg responds...
Huh?
LSZ writes...
Are there any planets in the Gargoyles universe which totally lack native magic sources?
Greg responds...
In an infinite universe there are infinite possibilities.
LSZ writes...
Why haven't any fae ever gone to space before? Don't they have curiousity about what's out there?
Greg responds...
Why haven't you gone? Aren't you curious?
LSZ writes...
Do the Space-Spawn use magic?
Greg responds...
Not generally.
LSZ writes...
Do any of the 3 races in the Space-Spawn war have developed sentient AI or robots?
Greg responds...
Maybe.
LSZ writes...
What weapons does Nokkar keep on his ship?
Greg responds...
Plenty.
LSZ writes...
Did Nokkar assist the Easter Islanders in erecting the statues?
Greg responds...
Maybe reluctantly.
LSZ writes...
Does Nokkar's race use magic? What do they think of it?
Greg responds...
No. Probably unaware of it.
LSZ writes...
1) Did any aliens visit Earth before Nokkar?
2) How is it Nokkar was unaware of Gargoyles?
3) Did Nokkar know about fae?
4) Is there any truth to the UFO sightings in the Gargoyles universe being aliens? If so, is Nokkar aware of them?
Greg responds...
1. I don't think so.
2. Why would he be?
3. I doubt it.
4. Can't say.
LSZ writes...
A rather odd question, but it came into my head:
Did any alien visits in the past get worshipped as gods by ancient humans, much like Erich van Daniken's odd theory..
Greg responds...
You mean other than Nokkar?
LSZ writes...
Aww, can't you give just one part of the reason why the Space-Spawn war started? Some teaser? Some little opener like Once There Were 3 Brothers? Please?
Greg responds...
Not right now. REVAMPING...
REVAMPING....
REVAMPING...
LSZ writes...
1) Are there any faelike beings out there in space then, if such evolution on other worlds is possible?
2) Are any evolutionary processes to start such beings beginning or halfway through or in the final stages off-Earth?
3) Are any of the three races in the Space-Spawn War on similar evolutionary lines to the fae?
Greg responds...
1. Technically, fae are earth natives. I'm not ruling out the possibility of fae-like beings in space. Anymore than I'm ruling out the possibility of humanoids in space. But you get the idea...
2. See 1.
3. No.
LSZ writes...
This is probably a silly question, but are there any single entities in the universe more powerful than Mab?
Greg responds...
Probably. No matter how big you are there's always someone bigger.
LSZ writes...
Would there have been any main individual Space-Spawn character in Gargoyles 2158?
Greg responds...
Ask me again after the revamp is completed.
LSZ writes...
How would Avalon and/or the fae react to the Space-Spawn war of 2158?
Greg responds...
Well, it's not in 2158 anymore. This is a fair question, but as I'm in a rethink on the whole concept at this time, you'll have to ask me again later.
LSZ writes...
What is the name of Nokkar's race?
Greg responds...
Good question.
LSZ writes...
From where do the three races of the Space-Spawn War hail from?
1) Which galaxy is each of the races' home planet/main base of operations in?
2) How far apart are each other's territories?
3) How far are their territories from Earth?
Greg responds...
a. Out there.
1. Haven't thought about it.
2. Far.
3. Far.
LSZ writes...
Why did the Space-Spawn war start in the first place with the other two races?
Greg responds...
That's a LONG story. This isn't the format to relate novel-length responses. (Even if my Ramblings occasionally seem to belie that.)
LSZ writes...
Did any fae ever travel to space at any period in history? Are they even capable of doing so?
Greg responds...
Not yet. At least not that I know of.
LSZ writes...
I'm pretty sure this question was lost in the queue, and I've searched it twice, so I'll ask it again:
Did any magical faelike beings evolve on other planets, or is the whole magic-incubation thing limited to Earth?
Greg responds...
'Spossible.
LSZ writes...
Is there any specific reason as to why Nokkar's race stationed him at Easter Island exactly?
Greg responds...
I doubt there was a reason they picked it, but there's a reason he's there.
Anonymous writes...
When did Nokkar arrive on Earth?
Is Nokkar immortal or does he just have a long lifespan?
Greg responds...
Long lifespan. And I have the research on that elsewhere, not here. Sorry.
LSZ writes...
Are there other alien sentient races in the universe besides Nokkar's, the Space-Spawn, and the other race in that war?
Greg responds...
Probably. But their are fewer sentient species in the Garg Universe than in most fiction universes.
LSZ writes...
Technology:
1) How long did it take for the New Olympians to develop their technology to the level seen in New Olympians?
2) In any respects are any of the three races involved in the Space-Spawn war less advanced than what we've seen of Earthly technology? Meaning is there anything in particular technologically Earth has that the aliens don't have? Like say, Sevarius' genetic manipulation, the NO's anti-gravity, Xanatos' Matrix..
3) How advanced were Gargoyles technologically by the time humanity came along? Stone Age-tech?
4) Castle Wyvern is a large stone-built fortress that looks like it was built using construction techniques and concepts that didn't appear in Europe until after the Crusades(I think). So why, in the Gargoyles universe, are the Europeans of 994 more advanced than in history? What in-universe explanation is there?
5) King Arthur of the 6th century seems to wear at least partial plate armour that didn't appear until the 1400's? what's the in-universe explanation here?
Greg responds...
1. Until 1996.
2. Generally, they are more advanced than us. But I won't rule out the possiblility that we might not be able to surprise them.
3. Not very. It was unnecessary to their life-styles. Humans are a much more adaptable race, for better and for worse.
4. In universe, I don't need an explanation if I don't feel like dealing. They just are. Perhaps less was forgotten. Perhaps magic was involved. Perhaps our knowledge is flawed.
5. He had access to sources of Armor that most people didn't. We assume that these things didn't EXIST until later. All we KNOW is that they weren't prevalent until later.
Greg "Xanatos" Bishansky writes...
What is the actual name of the race Nokkar called the Space-Spawn?
Greg responds...
That's the only name I've got for them at this time.
Anonymous writes...
Is the comparision between the skrull and the space spawn and the kree and Nokkar's people accurate?
Were the Kree and the Skrull your source of inspiration for the Space Spawn and Nokkar's peopl?
Greg responds...
No, I don't think so. I have a fairly clear memory of what the Skrull look like visually. And I remember the Super-Skrull who had everyone of the F4's powers. Were the other Skrull shape-shifters? As for the Kree, I remember the name. Can't think of what they even looked like. Did they look like Nokkar? At any rate, I don't recall the relationship between the two alien races. So I don't think I was basing what we did on them.
Anonymous writes...
Are there other sentient races living on the Earth besides fay,halflings,humans and gargoyles?
If so could you name them.?
Greg responds...
Well, Nokkar.
And the New Olympians (though they're a spin-off race of the fae).
Otherwise, no.
WereFox writes...
Hi Greg I read yor response to Ed's Nokar questions on February 24 and it got me thinking.
1. How good of a sentinal is Nokar? Has his survellance equipment been updated over the passed 3000 years? If not then have any space spawn infiltrated Earth without him knowing.
2. So who did we find at Roswel: Nokar's race, the Space Spawn, or another race.
3. Are the Illuminati aware of Nokar's presence? I imagine since they have their hands in everyhing that the Iluminati would have the very detailed archives concerning aliens and UFOs.
4. Considering that the Space Spawn want to attack earth and conquer humanity, would Demona regard them as allies (the enemy of my enemy...)?
Greg responds...
1. No updating, but no infiltration. (Keep in mind, most of his equipment is directed "OUT THERE"...)
2. NO COMMENT.
3. Nokkar arrived before the Illuminati was founded.
4. Who said the Space Spawn wants to attack Earth and conquer humanity? Who says the Space Spawn has ever heard of Earth?
Aris Katsaris writes...
Okay, let me ask the 'faster-than-light' question in a different way: As far as I know, current scientific theory holds that all faster-than-light travel is to some extent time-travel as well, which can lead to paradoxes, etc.
So... my question is: In your universe is there faster-than-light travel which is *not* time-travel in any sense?
Greg responds...
Even faster than light travel isn't instantaneous (though it may seem to be depending on the distance travelled). So by definition, any journey takes one not only through space but also through time. Forward, at least.
I realize that isn't the kind of answer you were looking for.
And that amuses me.
Aris Katsaris writes...
Some 'Gargoyles 2158' questions:
1. Do any of three races mainly involved in the galactic war have knowledge of magic's existence? Would they consider it to be superstition (like most humans)? Would they know it exists and works, but not how (like the protagonists of the series)? Would they have researched it and elevated it to the level of science?
In short, what's their attitude towards magic?
2. Is the third species you spoke of allied to Nokkar's race? To the space-spawn? None of the above?
3. Is there a specific point of dispute between the warring sides, or is it simply a war of aggression, one wanting to conquer all, and the other side opposing it?
Greg responds...
1. Initially, I wouldn't be dealing with Alien Magic. It's a pretty sophisticated concept. Eventually, I would have enjoyed bringing it in. As for their beliefs, I think Owen said it best: "Energy is Energy." Or to the Space-Spawn, "Power is power."
2. It's complicated.
3. Ditto. Though initially vis-a-vis Earth in 2158 it will play as a territory grab.
Ed writes...
Nokkar is trapped on Earth with no way of knowing how his people (or his enemies) are doing or even if they are still alive.
1. Does he still believe that they are out there?
2. Does he believe he will ever regain contact in his lifetime?
3. Does he have a family or relations that he has left behind?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. Yes. He has renewed faith after "Sentinel".
3. Yes.
Ed writes...
1. Do you believe intelligent life exists outside of Earth?
2. Did Goliath and Elisa believe it before they met Nokkar?
Greg responds...
1. How could it not?
2. Elisa would probably have responded as I did, which doesn't mean she believed in U.F.O.'s. Honestly, I'm not sure if Goliath ever gave it any thought.
Leong writes...
I'll be blunt: Is there faster-than-light space travel in the Gargoyles universe?
Greg responds...
Yes and no.
Aris Katsaris writes...
So... is there faster-than-light travel or faster-than-light communications in the Gargoyles Universe? :-)
Greg responds...
Again, the phrasing of the question makes it difficult to answer.
If you're asking me whether a species exists anywhere in the Gargoyles Universe that can get from point A to point B faster than light could conventionally travel the distance between those points, then the answer is yes.
For example... ever hear of the Phoenix Gate?
Greg "Xanatos" Bishansky writes...
Is the Space Spawn really the name of their race?
Greg responds...
It's Nokkar's race's perjorative term for them.
Robin Wynn writes...
Hi Mr. Wiesman,
the first of my questions was asked by another person,but because the post it was in was so long you didn't answer it. I wanted to know the answer so i thought I'd post it again.
ok, here they go:
1)Is there faster-than-light travel in the Gargoyles universe? faster-than-light communications? If yes, why is Nokkar so isolated and uninformed about outside happenings?
2) ok, originally someone asked you what made Anubis connected to death. Your answer was "Fay are tied to the pure magic of Earth. Individual fay have different 'connections', just as individual humans have different talents, etc. Anubis and other "death gods" come by it naturally". My question is this:
a) Does Alex have any special connection? any particular magical talent that he comes by naturally?
b)if so, what is it?
well, thanks in advance for your time.
Greg responds...
1. Actually, I did answer this in the sense that I rejected the form of the question. It's a two-part question that assumes a connection that doesn't exist.
And per our new rules, you'll have to resubmit your other questions (as they are on unrelated topics) as separate posts.
