I've only just introduced myself to the series. I've only seen the FIVE-PART opening episodes... I can't quite form an opinion, but I couldn't stop watching until it reached a conclusion, and it left me wanting more- and that, I think, is far more important than anything else when it comes to a TV show or movie. I mainly watched it for research, weirdly enough, because I wanted to take some inspiration from it for some of my projects.

Five... Part?? Anywho, I guess the show's kind of inspiring...

Oh, sure. The beginning of the series was five episodes called "Awakening", parts one to five. You don't remember? It's all about how they got to New York in the first place.
By the way, what I mean by "inspiration" is taking some cues or concepts from it. For example, say I were to use the idea of a scientist making a monster from Frankenstein (which is a rather obvious thing to do, but you get the idea.)
What I've seen so far intrigues me. The mixture of mythology and modern action, intrigue, and what have you I think is unique.

Gosh, i haven't seen that show in.... twelve years? Something like that. I did enjoy watching that show, but it wasn't one of my daily, must-watch cartoons when i was a kid. The little green one was my fave. I don't remember his name, though.

I can't say for sure. I kinda like Hudson, although that may be because I was thinking about deep Scottish accents at the time because of one of my newest characters. Then again, I don't feel as though I've gotten the chance to get to know the characters yet, and I certainly don't have them memorized. I actually guessed that something bad was going to happen to Demona the minute I saw her the first episode... gotta know your narrative anticipation to be a writer, I guess.
Is it just me, or does everybody like Brooklyn the best? I've gotten that impression because he seems to be the one that everybody mentions in all the places on the 'net I've seen where people are talking about it.

I like him because of his "beak" and winghands. And he is just so adorable- at least to me.

When i was like, 9, me, my brother, and my friend would pretend we were the gargoyles from the show. Jeez, how silly little kids are! XD My brother was that blue one, i was the red one, and my friend, she was the green one. We were so weird! But i miss being carefree.

Mr. Fatty Eats Alot is Broadway, hun. The mucular purple dude is Goliath, and the one with the beard is Hudson. The beast-dog-gargoyle-type-thing is Bronx.
