Happy Halloween everyone! Before we begin the next analysis I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Gargoyles just celebrated it’s 25th anniversary, just last week in fact.  Which would make it the Silver Anniversary if I recall correctly.  Anyway…

Last time on Gargoyles.

Xanatos and the gargoyles duked it out.  Xanatos in a spiffy new battle armor and the gargoyles with just their dukes.

Oh and Elisa got a new partner, a conspiracy theorist named Matt Bluestone.

Review and Analysis: Gargoyles Deadly Force

gargoyles1x08_0001

Previously on Gargoyles, Brooklyn got his first solo episode and was the new victim of naivete when his trust in Demona was abused and nearly got Goliath permanently brainwashed.  Also there was this really cool motorcycle that was blown up.

The episode begins on the docks where Owen is overseeing a shipment of some crates belonging to Xanatos Enterprises.  Suddenly a group of men with gas masks appear and start firing gas grenades, and though Owen attempts to stop them they still manage to hijack the truck and make off with the crates much to Owen’s displeasure.

Analysis and Review: Gargoyles Temptation

gargoyles1x07_0001

Last time on Gargoyles, we had an episode centered on Lexington as he and Goliath were hunted by a team of TV stars/mercenaries that he and the rest of the Gargoyles had previously idolized.  Bringing to mind that old adage, “Never meet your heroes, because heroes are people and people suck.”

For this episode, we start off with the Trio at some old garage where Lex is putting the finishing touches onto a motorcycle to the impatience of Broadway and Brooklyn.

Not even a year in the modern world and he’s already welding? That’s impressive.

Broadway: Isn’t it finished yet? We’ve been here every night for a week.

Brooklyn: Come on. You’ve ridden one before.

Lexington: You’ve ridden a horse before, could you build one from scratch?

Analysis and Review: Gargoyles The Thrill of the Hunt

thrill

Before I begin I feel I should clear something up.  Reviews for episodes of Gargoyles are most likely going to be lengthy and go into great detail for the simple reason that there are a lot of details to pretty much every episode. Not a whole lot is spent on meaningless filler meant to pad out the episode, there’s usually some overarching plot or narrative that will connect one episode to another.  Plus characters who may seem minor now could become major players later on so if you fail to mention them early on you’re left trying bring up all the details later on.  In short, Gargoyles is a show that plays the long game when it comes to storytelling and if you don’t pay attention then you’re likely to miss something important.
