HUGE archive of Gargoyles material. Sound clips, OS Themes, nearly all the comics, clips from the show....and even the 8th episode (which is banned in the US due to its rather....political issues). Theres even fanfic stories on there if you're into that sort of thing.
For those that don't know what Gargoyles is, its a TV series created by Disney that aired back in '94 on UPN. Its whole premise is the story of a clan of gargoyles living in NYC. The start of the series shows them living in Scotland back in 994. They were betrayed by the humans that protected them during the day (they literally turn to stone during the day, and 'come alive' at night) and the survivors were put to sleep for a thousand years by a spell cast on them. The major 'villian' of the show, David Xanitos (played by Jonathan Frakes) heard about them, brought them and the castle they were perched on to NYC so that they would 're-awaken'. (the terms of the spell specified that they would re-awaken when the castle would rise above the clouds) I'm not going to spoil what happens next, but basically they end up being the good guys keeping the city safe at night. Quite a few of the ST:TNG cast members star in this series (Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Frakes, Michael Dorn) as well as Kate Mulgrew from ST: Voyager, Keith David (been in quite a few BIG movies) as well as other well known actors. This show (and its short-lived spin-off series "The Goliath Chronicles" is one of those rare shows that has 100% continuity. ZERO plot holes. Its also one of those shows that has a HUGE over-all story arch. Unlike in other shows that have the ever over-used 'reset button' where everyone is A-OK 100% of the time, the main characters actually have to deal with the reporcussions of their actions in later episodes. Dispite it being run by Disney, this show is NOT one of those "sing and dance" kiddie shows. Its something that even most adults can easily enjoy without having to feel like they're really desperate for something to watch on TV.
The 5-part pilot episode has already been shown, but if you're really interested in it then heres the current airing times:
Channel: Toon Disney
Times: Sat & Sun (2:30pm - 3:30pm CST) + Every day at 10:30pm - 11:30pm
I *highly* recommend this series. Yeah, you'd have to deal with the cheezy ass commercials in-between...but thats the price of being on a toon network.

Do not utter the forbidden words...
not like it was before... ;)
But I declare it OK, cause it's not the bad name. Besides, it's related to Gargoyles.

Hey, this show proves that she CAN act. More than likely its interference from B&B that made her look like shit on Voyager.
[B]Yikes, talk about concurrency! I just happened to stumble on this site myself a few days ago, while looking for Gargoyles eps on DVD (sadly, not released). [/B][/QUOTE]
Oddly enough, so did I. ;)
[B]yes good but wheres my exo squad? :D [/B][/QUOTE]
Go spam someone else's thread.
[B]i wasnt spamming ass [/B][/QUOTE]
Funny, it sure looked off-topic to me. :rolleyes:
But i give up and move on just saying thanks for the link because it is a huge find and is awesome for us who remember that little cartoon.
[B]i was just joking around vertigo, hence the big ole blantant :D, must have missed that though. [/B][/QUOTE]
Yeah, you just happened to catch me on a bad day when I was in a bad mood.
Its also an excellent source of Avatar material. :)
I always liked Hudson....
[B]heh, true that...
I always liked Hudson.... [/B][/QUOTE]
If you're referring to my avatar, thats not Hudson. ;) Thats Brooklin. :)
That being said, Hudson was kinda cool too. A bit prideful at times, but lets just say he didn't let his old age hold him back when he was in an asskicking mood. :p
Now that I have some free time, I'll actually read them.
