Are the events in "Turf" and "Vendettas" ment to be happing at the same time? If they are, why wasn't Bronx with Goliath and Hudson in Vendettas and why were they gone for two night? If they wern't, why was it that Goliath, Hudson and Bronx were away two nights in Turf?

Also, In "Turf", why does Jack Danforth(is that his name) know so much about the Prison system and where Dracon was held? And what made Danforth want to join in the mob buisness? Don't the Feds keep a watch on their relocated witnesses? For that matter, why was Jack a relocated witness? What was he a whitness of?

Merci

Greg responds...

The events depicted in "Vendettas" (not counting the 7/18/96 prologue in Scotland) took place between August 1st and 2nd, 1996. Though neither Goliath or Hudson made it back to the clock tower before sunrise on the morning of the 2nd. The events of "Turf" took place between August 2nd and 3rd. Bronx was having his own little adventure at that time.

Jack Danforth (aka Jack Dane) has been in the prison system. And he still has friends inside. He made it his business to know. Dane wasn't joining the mob business. He was REJOINING the mob business. He was a mobster who was at odds with the Dracon family and had (at some point) testified against them. The Feds were aware that Dane had un-relocated. But they needed evidence to bring him in. Elisa eventually provided that evidence.

Is Cagney a male or a female kitty?
BTW, I think Cagney is quite cool, and love it whenever <s>he gets an appearence. Would you have ever made an episode all about Cagney?

Greg responds...

Initially, I assumed that Cagney was named after Christine Cagney of Cagney & Lacey, and thus assumed the cat was a she. Later, I was informed by Michael Reaves that Cagney was named after James Cagney -- and thus a he.

An all Cagney episode? I don't know about that. But he'd have gotten more play certainly. Maybe a Bronx and Cagney team-up?

I take it thet Bronx's sudden appearance in "the Mirror" was an accedent, but did\could you come up with some sort of explanation for how he got there. A non Smart Ass answer would be nice, but I'll try to understand if you can't resist.

Greg responds...

I never said it was an accident. They went and got him.

1) You've said that Bronx will have children. How many children will he and his mate (Boudicca, right?) have?
2) Will they have names?
3) If the answer to two is yes, then what are their names?
4) Will they be raised on Avalon or in Manhattan?

Greg responds...

1. Not saying.
2. Yes.
3. Not and Saying.
4. Not saying.

oh, and why did Gliath tell the trio to take Bronx down to the rookery with them when they got in trouble in "Awakening Part 1"?

He seemed to be part of the disturbance.

boudicca is the son of bronx?
who is the mother?

Greg responds...

No. First off, Boudicca is female. Second off, she's not Bronx's son OR daughter. She's his mate.

in "Awakening" we see Bronx playing with the trio. was Bronx more often with the trio then other gargs or was he just playing with them that night? what i mean is, was Bronx more a pet to the trio or had more of a connection with them than other members of the clan?

Greg responds...

Yes, generally.

well Todd, if you are not going to ask it, i guess i will...

in "Legion" when Coldstone first arrives at the Clocktower, Bronx is growling. Iago hasn't come to the surface yet, so is Bronx growling cuz he has something against Coldstone or robots/cyborgs, or does he sense the evil one inside Coldstone or what?

Greg responds...

I guess the latter. I'd have to look at it again.

Greg, in a reply to matt's question you said Boudicca is older than Bronx. But how could that be since Bronx was with the rest of the clan in 994 A.D. and I'm guessing Boudicca is a beast which hatched with the rest of the garg eggs that were taken to Avalon? How could Boudicca be older than Bronx if this is true? I would not think that is should have to do with anything about how time passes more slowly on Avalon either, because logically Bronx would still be older or about the same age even though he was stone for a 1000 years.

Greg responds...

Boudicca is biologically older than Bronx. Bronx is chronologically older than Boudicca.

Boudicca is the same biological age as Angela, who is approximately the same biological age as the Trio. (Though CHRONOLOGICALLY, the Trio is MUCH older.)

Bronx is chronologically twenty years younger than the Trio. Biologically ten years younger. Which makes him approximately ten biological years younger than Boudicca.

Whew!

matt writes...

you've said numerous times that Bronx mated and will mate again with Boidekka, but since Bronx was born a generation after the trio wouldn't he be way to young to mate? if the fertility cycle is different for beasts than can they mate and concieve more often in life than the standard gargoyles? i understand that Boidekka, being older than Bronx, is probably able to concieve, but Bronx just seems too young. does it matter that he is male, as in males can mate and concieve earlier in life than females?

Greg responds...

Again, it depends how you're defining "mated". Do you mean "take a mate"? Do you mean "produce offspring"? Do you mean "have intercourse"?

Boudicca is older than Bronx. But Beasts mature faster than Gargoyles. The cycle is the same, but the maturity rate is different. Bronx is an adult and has been for years.

2. Why would he?

what did you imagine the other Avalon beast (besides Boudikka) looks like? more like Bronx, perhaps a biological relative, younger sister? i don't suppose you know the name of this beast, do you? if so, what is its name? why didn't Bronx go for this beast over Boudikka, or did he mate with both? did Boudikka just smell better, or not smell like a biological relative, or is Boudikka more attractive in a non-olfatory way to Bronx?

Greg responds...

Ahh, who can explain this crazy little thing called love?

Dear Greg,
You mentioned that Bronx and Boudicca are mates, and that they will mate again. Will any from the Avalon clan (Including Boudicca) go to Manhattan?
Thanx

Greg responds...

Boudicca's already been once.

There may be exchange programs worked out in the future.

in response to JESS, i've admitted that Bronx is more intelligent and emotional than your average dog, but pride is a big emotion! we've seen Bronx show love and fear but if you look at any animal you can see signs of love and fear that doesn't mean they are capable of emotion, just instinct. what i'm asking you, Greg, is Bronx capable of emotion or are all his actions based on instinct or training?

Greg responds...

These don't seem mutually exclusive to me.

This is a general comment not a question, sorry.
matt writes about bronx not being able to feel pride ...
if he's comparing bronx to a dog, i know for a fact some dogs have a sense of humour, and can get jelous - so why not pride ??
also bronx seems to show considerable intelligence in the series, and to understand, pretty much, what is being said.
( cue "why not pride" question again!)
OK here's one for you, greg - does he?

Greg responds...

Don't see why not.

at the end of "hound of Ulster" Goliath says that Bronx has a right to be proud of himself. now, i like Bronx and i think he is smarter and at times more emotional than your average dog but he is still an animal and i don't quite see how he can feel pride. maybe love, and fear, and loyalty, but pride???

Greg responds...

My dog, and certainly my cats, definitely demonstrate something at times that looks a hell of a lot like pride to me. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

(matt, this post is such a disappointment.... :)

Todd Jensen writes...

I was just reading your latest "early development documents", and noticed that in one of them, Bronx was depicted as flying about. Did he actually have wings in this stage of the development?

(I also noticed that he was definitely even more omnivorous in those documents than I'd expected - actually eating a fire hydrant and a nunchaku? I hadn't seriously thought that even he would classify them as food).

Greg responds...

He had wing-shaped ears, which he could flap quickly like a humming bird. This resulted in lifting him a few inches off the ground. But he also had a mace-shaped tail, which weighed him down enough to prevent him from flying or even fully hovering.

Todd Jensen writes...

One little piece in your "Names" ramble that puzzled me - the description of Bronx (or the character that would become Bronx) as "angst-ridden". I must confess that Bronx never seemed "angst-ridden" to me. (Actually, most of the time, it's rather difficult to say what might be going on in Bronx's head). Or was that description meant to be an ironic one?

Greg responds...

Our original thinking on Bronx was much more comic, much more comic-relief. (Todd, you just gotta come to a Gathering and see the original pitch art and the original design of the character.)

Frank Paur was instrumental in transforming Bronx (first visually, the rest followed) into the beast we know and love.

Hello Greg
You said that Bronx and Boudicca were mates and would mate but you posted that Bronx in 9 at the end of 1996 and since Boudicca is from Angela's rookery you said she would be 20 at the end of 1996.
So my questions are
1) Can Gargoyle Beasts mate at 9 years old?
2) If yes to question 1 why didn't Boudicca already mate?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Cycles.

1) Ed previously asked how old Cagney was, and you asked "when?". So how old was he at the end of "The Journey"?

2a) Sadly, cats have nowhere near the lifespan of gargoyle beasts, and eventually, Cagney will pass away. Do you think Elisa would get another pet to replace him? b) Bronx is sort of the gargoyles' pet, but does Elisa consider him a little like her pet as well?

3a) How many offspring will Bronx and Boudicca have? b) Do all the pups stay with their mother on Avalon, or will any join their father in Manhattan? c) Will the other female beast that you said lived on Avalon also have a pup at the same time as Boudicca?

Greg responds...

1. About three.

2a. Don't know yet. Maybe.

2b. Not exactly. Like your best friend's pet.

3a. One for starters.

3b. With the Avalon clan for starters.

3c. Most likely.

You've mentioned that Bronx wouldn't be hatched when DARK AGES began. Would he have been hatched later down the line in the series?

---Ytt

Greg responds...

Yes. If we lasted long enough. Dark Ages starts in 971. Bronx hatches in 978. But in my dreams, we'd run the Dark Ages series for 23 years... from 971 to 994.

1) Given your habit of recycling names back into the show, I was wondering if you had plans of reusing the name "Tribeca" that you had originally assigned to Bouddica?

2) Who came up with the name and how? I just found out that Tribecca is a place in NY. It makes me wonder why you were going to give that name to a beast from Avalon, though.

Greg responds...

1. That was Brynne's name (or Lydia's) not mine. So it's less desperate to get attention in my head. But anything's possible, and that kind of thing amuses me. So who knows?

2. I never was. It would have made no sense. It was just a place-holder in a script where the beast was seen but not named in dialogue. It gave us another couple weeks to come up with an actual name.

what is the average lifespan of a gargoyle beast?
are multipule births more common among gargoyle beast?

Greg responds...

Hard to say given the lack of grand old gargoyle beasts around. But I'd say about 160-180 years.

No.
