Mr. Weisman, thank you so much for answering our (often repeated) questions.
You asked for us to, in addition to asking questions, talk about already existing eps. Very well, then. I would like to say that, personally, I liked the Archmage. Sure he was cliched, but he was voiced by David Warner (an actor of whom I take special note), and he was a spell-caster (a cool profession, in my book), so I liked him. I was quite glad you brought him back and made him such a big-wig of a...well...archmage (I do wonder if you'll give us his real name). Furthermore, two of my favorite episodes ("Metamorphosis" and "Kingdom") had, in my opinion, lesser animation but very fine stories. In my book, the story is the primary focus. I hope these comments will give you something to chew on. Now, to the questions (sorry).
1) If you haven't answered this already how was Fang to be redeemed, or whatever.
2) When you answered the question "What is Brooklyn's mate," with "Katana," I wondered if that was her name. Is it?
Finally,
3) We know why Iago/Coldsteel hates Othello/Coldstone, but why does he bear such animosity towards Goliath. I will understand if you would like to refrain from answering these questions. Thank you again, and have a plesant day (night, whatever).

Hey, Blaise, thanks for the comments. I agree on the Archmage. And I agree with your assessment of the animation on "Metamorphosis" and "Kingdom". I'm glad you liked them anyway. Story is paramount to me too, but since I basically liked all the stories, I find that my favorites tend toward the better animated episodes. But both of the ones you named have some real nice stuff in them. They also both put a spotlight on Brooklyn. Coincidence?
1) Complete redemption was a long way off, but I did have plans to have him join the "BAD GUYS". Hunter (Robyn Canmore) and the others would have busted him and given him a choice between joining up or doing hard time. He would have chosen to join up.
2) Yes.
3) Coldsteel's contempt for Goliath is a bit more generic, than his personal animus toward Coldstone. Initially, he used Goliath to drive a wedge between Coldstone and Coldfire. After that, he and Goliath weren't exactly buddies. Coldsteel's kind of a hard guy to like.
