	I don't recall ever truly having a favorite character for that show, but I do remember having a bit of a crush on Xanathos(sp?). Damn, he was hot. >D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Actually, Owen is my favorite character, but Puck gets to join in on that fame once we found out they were the same person. Close! Xanatos. Mmm... he is quite the nice-looking, evil bastard. ^^ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ha ha, Owen! I was always amused by his highly passive-agressive, almost "wooden" disposition. And it made SO much sense that he was like that once you found out his alter-ego, too. XD Mmm, Xanatos. Smart son of a bitch, he was - which only made him hotter. His wife (Fox?) was rather TEH HOTT (and quite clever as well - obviously why he married her), too. :D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I didn't see it coming at all. In fact, when the second part of The Gathering first aired, I remember jumping up and down and being completely gobsmacked. One of the best animated moments in cartoon history, if you ask me. Not to mention fantastic plotting.

Xanatos and Fox - a terrific couple. They were both so devious! So wicked!

David: Marry me.
Fox: Are you serious?
David: We're genetically compatible, highly intelligent, and have the same goals. It makes perfect sense to get married.
Fox: True. But what about...love?
David: I think we love each other as much as two people such as ourselves are capable of that emotion.

Such a sweet proposal.

Me? Obsessed? Nah. ;p

"Listen, Bruce, if we stay split up, we're all going to wind up sitting around some extremely expensive and bland conference room over in Luthorcorp. If we get lucky, we might have a view of the Daily Planet globe. Besides, you owe me one... remember in junior year, when those paint balloons fell on the head of house? That would've been you if I didn't switch the marks on the floor."
"I guess you -do- have a point there." Of course, that doesn't change the fact he saw it coming a mile away... "All right -- if that's the case, you've got my vote! Luthor always serves the worst champagne, after all. But David?" Batman grins, Wayne's voice coming just a -touch- sly. "I absolutely insist that you introduce me to this stunning wife of yours I've heard so much about!"
"I've been looking forward to meeting you, too, Bruce... just try not to be as charming as they say you are, I am a mother, after all, it wouldn't do for me to leave with you."
"Fox, dear, go kill something or somebody, I'm trying to reconnect with an old friend?"
"Spoilsport." *click*
"Ahem. Will you be bringing a secretary, Bruce? Yours are always so pretty."
"I heard that."
"Foooox..."
"... I mean... click."

	Gargoyles was one of the most underrated cartoons ever made, and your icon rules. =) However, I'm going to have to stay away from this wank (as lovely as it is), because I so happen to be a somewhat liberal Atheist and will most likely be unable to resist the urge to, you know...SAY something. bites lip and closes forum window (Reply to this)(Thread)

Thanks! *grins* I think it's a testament to just how good Gargoyles is that even all these years later, there's still a very active fanbase.

Heh. I'm a liberal Atheist myself. The only thing I felt the urge to do was give a good definition of Atheism. Beyond that, I just found the whole thing sort of funny. I mean, there's no arguing with some people. Neither side is going to change their mind so the whole argument just falls apart into pathetic insults. Makes me giggle.

Joining in on the Gargoyles lurve! Quite a progressive show, especially for Disney.

But your wank is being neglected, huh? Like Zee I'm going to give the religious fight a miss. After so many years the debates just get, I dunno, futile and repetitious. But I DO agree with Peter's assessment of the Steve Irwin thing. It was a dumb thing to do but Irwin's nowhere near the loony freak that Michael Jackson is. There's no comparison.

No kidding. Guns, people dying... plot?!? What was Disney thinking? I keep wondering how Greg managed to get that series produced by that company.

Oh, I know. I was actually referring less to the religious fight, but more how the group had split and the kind of insults being tossed around. Just switch religion for kinds of cheese and it amounts to the same thing. I did rather like Avi Green's "This is Peter's Weblog! Stop commenting in it!" though.

I have mixed feelings on the Steve Irwin thing. Well, yes, it was dumb as fuck, but my herpetology professor used to let his three year old son help him feed the poisonous rattlesnakes in his office, so... *shrugs*

	And he and his wife have manged to raise their daughter just fun thus far. Steve's parents were doind some of the same things when he was a child so Shrugs If you watch him with his kids its obvious he'd never turly endanger them. Not to mention Terri wouldn't let him.

Oh, I agree with you, don't get me wrong. Not only is he a professional and very experienced, but it was in his own zoo, so it's safe to assume he knew the temperament of the animal he was dealing with. The part that was dumb was allowing himself to be filmed the way he did. The angle of the camera made it look like he was a lot closer to that croc than he actually was.

It doesn't surprise me at all that he got in a little trouble over it. That's where he made his real mistake.

	[It doesn't surprise me at all that he got in a little trouble over it. That's where he made his real mistake.] This is one of the reasons why I really don't want to be famous.

Thanks! ^^ A friend of mine captured a ton of screen shots for me off of digital episodes he recorded off of Toon Disney. He doesn't have every episode, but he does have quite a few of them. They're all just sitting on my hard drive.

The quality still isn't terrific. I use about three different programs to get the picture clean enough to use. Adobe Photo-dis'sucks... I'm sorry, Photodeluxe (came with my scanner), Microsoft Photoeditor, then I go in and finish the clean up with plain old Paint.

Err... yes. I have way too much time on my hands. ^^;;

Personally, I have my fingers crossed on a DVD in our near future. *grins* Greg keeps saying that 2004 is the year!

Puck! Squee! God, I miss Gargoyles. More Star Trek actors per episode than any other non-Star Trek series. *G*

I have to totally ignore the gay marriage/homosexuality/religion wank because it makes my head hurt. I can only read so many different versions of "GOD RULES!" "NUH-UH!" before my head explodes.

But I always knew that Irwin was bat shit crazy. Luigi sure brings the wank, though.

Heee. Everybody has the Garg-love! And here I thought I was the only one. ^^

Well, it wasn't so much the religious part of the argument that amused me - more they way they're arguing. I've seen my fair share of religious "debates" (using that term veeeeery loosely), but the way these two groups are snipping at each other... it's a little different than usual.

I don't think the gay marriage bit has come up in about thirty replies. *shakes head*

Ah, yes. Luigi. He's always good for that sort of thing. I've been reading Peter David's blog for over a year now. It's the same people posting over and over again, for the most part.
