Greetings, Mr. Weisman. First, let me say I love the gargoyles show. Now let me ask a few questions... (1)I was a bit surprised no one else has noticed this, but in "Sanctuary" Angela said that the Princess told the hatchlings about Not re Dame Cathedral. How could this be? The Princess, Magus, and Tom went to Avalon in the late 900s, but construction on Notre Dame didn't begin until around 1100 or so and wasn't completed until the 1300s. Or did Tom just somehow end-up in Paris during on e of his trips outside Avalon? (2) Also, did the Magus have another name, and that was just his title, or is that simply his name. (3) And last, I was curious if some of the people working on Gargoyles were fans of Highlander, because there are so many para llels---the Gathering, immortals, Hunters, a secret society......Just curious. Well, thanks in advance for answering my questions(if you choose to do so, and then thanks for your time anyhow).

1. Tom saw a lot over the years.
2. "Magus" was not his given name.
3. I enjoyed much of the original movie. Many episodes of the series are pretty good too. But I don't think it influence me that much. The concept of immortality is hardly original to Highlander. Neither are the other things you've mentioned. And we were creating some of it simultaneously with the creation of that series. Obviously, I can't be sure it had no influence, but no conscious influence, at least.
