  • Not to forget there was no happy ending. No cheers or joy just a whole lot of lying, tears and sorrow. Wow and Disney made this which makes it even more evil. I like that.

  • This show is way too epic! I remember every episode and all the shows before all Gargoyles. The 80's and 90's were so great it had all the best shows. You could not compare the drama this show had to a 2-3 hr movie just released now in one half hr his show makes you laugh and smile and enjoy yourself now try to remember that whole afternoon after school rammed full of action. Fantastic!

  • Dammit, I loved this episode but it made me so sad....Brooklyn and Elisa losing her brother like that. T____T

  • Xanatos can ask for the best of anything on the Planet

  • Brooklyn = Forever Alone

  • "No pulse, he's dead"

    TAKE THAT, 4KIDS!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Curry you fool.......NEVER grab when surrounded by electric eels!

  • smh damn that zanatos

  • i really wanted to hug elisa at the end, i felt so sorry for her and her brother... it's not fair damn that xanatos

  • Holy crap, the balls this cartoon had is amazing, they showed someone's death.

  • 2:46: Hudson: "Meh, gonna go with a less intense pose tonight. Not feelin' it. Reclining lotus position. That's gonna be my 90's thing."

  • ASSUME THE POSE!

  • Well at least he's not dead, he's now a big kitty cat!

  • Poor Elisa, she can never have a normal relationship with her brother ever again.

  • Man, they managed to animate that crazy scientist to do exactly the same movements a man would make if he was electrocuted. That's some pretty good animation.

  • Has Xanatos ever ended an episode not going...

    "Yep, everything went according to plan. I'm awesome."

  • Derrick looks like a fuckin beast and he decides to go with a whack ass name like Talon? "TALON?!" Derrick you my friend are a (Ace Ventura voice) LA-WHO-SA-HER!

  • She got Derrick from, "Hope to ...?" Really? I mean I know my brothers gay but just because I see some stranger sucking another dudes dick doesn't mean I'm gonna be like, "Rome?"

  • I. Love. Xanatos!!!

  • This episode looks suspiciously like a badly written fanfic.

  • @NunsNBagels2 They can't all be gems.

  • @NunsNBagels2 SPOILERS

    I agree, especially the Maggie strand:

    BROOKLYN: I want to help you. I obviously love you...after two seconds.

    MAGGIE: NO! It may be obvious you are trying to help me, but I need a half-arsed reason for not trusting me, and so you want to keep me like this. Leave me alone!

    BROOKLYN: I love you.

    MAGGIE: LEAVE ME ALONE!

    BROOKLYN: I LOVE YOU!

    Usually I love Brooklyn, but here I think he's a bit out of character and obsessive.

  • Just forget the badge for one second and SHOOT HIM!!!

  • At 4:46... did Owen just roll his eyes?

  • It is always 10 o'clock on the clock tower's clock!

  • WHY would you GRAB THE EEL?!

  • Poor Elisa. She can't look at Derek the same way ever again.

  • Anyone know who voiced Fang for this episode? I know for later episodes they got one of the Belushi brothers, but this is DEFINITELY not him for the one line Fang had!

  • @ztslovebird Jonathan Frakes stood in since it was a one-liner...

  • @riala4 Huh. I thought it would've been Jeff Bennett or Frank Welken, since they're usually brought in to play everyone from the supporting characters to just about every single background person. Seriously; 75% of the characters (including extras in the background) are played by Jeff Bennett. It's a fun drinking game, taking a shot every time Jeff Bennett talks to himself in this show.

  • I just realized that if this show was turned up just another notch. It would be for an older audience , because looking at it now versus the past ; it has a lot of stuff going on with it

    I demand it to be continued!!!!!

  • Each of the main six seem to represent chess pieces:

    Goliath- King

    Hudson- Queen

    Brooklyn- Bishop

    Broadway- Rook

    Lexington- Knight

    Bronx- Pawn

  • @sylexus44 You do realize the King is one of the most useless pieces in chess, right? It's the Queen that has all the power.

  • @ztslovebird The king is the most valued piece. It's worth the entire game. Just because its mobility is low does not mean it's not an important piece.

  • Xanatos,you bag of dick!

  • i wouldve at least shot out one of his knee caps

    

  • The last thing I expected to see was a camera. This show is frigging awesome!

  • We have to stop this... senseless violence.

  • Maggie's a bitch, I wish Brooklyn tried to help me out =(

  • Damn...

  • I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably the single worst thing that Xanatos does. Sure, he kills people and all of that good stuff, but this time he rips a brother and sister apart and betrays the one person who actually liked him, putting him through a lot of physical pain and psychological torment. And for what? World domination? One hundred billion dollars?  No, just for a handy new henchman.

    I'm disappointed. I expected Elisa to try to shoot him over this.

  • @MrHongKongBuffet Shooting him wouldn't have solved anything. It would have made Derek hate her. And then she would have been charged with murder and sent to prison. But the worst part is that, in the end, Xanatos did win. He'll never be prosecuted, the Gargoyles are more or less his allies, and most people don't even hate him. And he has all of his money, a beautiful wife, and a little kid. Of course, Derek and Goliath and Elisa have all of those things to, but they actually deserved them.

  • wow..i never actually feel anything about tv shows until they hit family..it's sorta terrifying to imagine my sister like this if something happened to me

  • I'm sorry, but how is it the Gargoyle's fault? They didn't change him into a monster.

  • @simplybecauseIam he had the cure created,was seconds away from injecting it,and gollith stomps in their and gets it destroyed

  • holey shit someone died in a kid's cartoon!

  • lol, this part realy is a good example of the phrase:

    "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

    :)

  • electrocuted by eels. wow disney

  • Hey! An electric eel just landed in front of me! Why don't I grab it?! Lol!

  • This show was awesome because it wasn't afraid to end the episode on a truly inconsolable person sobbing her eyes out.

  • Damn Xanatos is one manipulative bastard. Though I must say I am impressed not many people would come up with such a convoluted plan, fewer would attempt it, and even fewer would actually be able to pull it off. (Grudging) props to you Xanatos.

  • @Vlagh999

    hes an awesome villain

  • @Vlagh999 There's a reason TvTropes has a trope named the "Xanatos Gambit".

  • @Vlagh999 and yet he reformed

  • Poor Elisa If one of my family members was turn into a monster i would cry as well.

  • My thoughts during this episode:

    "Wow what's up with Xanatos?"

    "I guess he's not so bad. Weird."

    "Nope he's a bastard"

    @TheCmDragon Yes. Yes he is

  • 3 people got turned into gargoyles and didn't like it

  • dam, the gargoyles screwed up this one

  • What the fuck, since when did disney have cartoons involving genetic engineering, kidnapping, and people being electrocuted to death? I watched this as a kid but it never really dawned on me.

  • @Lewis1711 THAT's why I have such a pet peeve about people saying things like "Don't even think about it. It's a kid series. It's just a CARTOON!" One hallmark of some really good story telling is multi-layers so that varying audiences can enjoy the same thing for various reasons. The best animated shows have things that kids can enjoy but also higher concepts that adults (and those same kids once they become a bit more sophisticated and knowledgeable) can enjoy as well.

  • Is it just me or is this entire show about revenge?

  • **hugs Elisa** DX Don't cryyy!

    

  • aww that sucks for younger brother guy :P

  • ooo talen is so so hot and cool. live his panther form  !!!!!!! i wanna be a panther/gargoyl. so freaking awsome !!!!!

  • XANATOS IS HOT :P AND SO IS OWEN :D

  • Who voices Brooklyn? I like his voice and I feel I've heard it before.

  • @BlackMaskStudios

    Jeff Bennett, You probably recognize his voice as Dad in Dexter's Lab, Mozenrath in Aladdin tv series, Jonathon Long in American Dragon Jake Long, The Narrator/Twinkle the Marvel Horse in Dave the Barbarian, Johnny Bravo in Johnny Bravo, Drix in Ozzy and Drix, Ace, Big Billy, and Grubber in Powerpuff Girls, Clay in Xiaolin Shaolin, and Red Tornado in Young Justice.

  • Man, as a child, you wouldn't understand why Derek is angry at Goliath and the other gargoyles for destroying the cure, but as a teen and adult, you understand that it's because he believes they destroyed his one chance at becoming human again. ...Dang, you Disney. I can't say that line without thinking of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST now. ><

  • I think Talon looks sexy in his second stage of development.

  • This show was taken off the air in season 3 for bad ratings and not doing as well as Power Rangers... yea right!!! This show was awesome then and it still is now!!! Power Rangers still only captures the younger audiences while Gargoyles still has its original viewers of yesterday, who are now all grown up and the newer viewers of today! My little cousin loves this show and I do still!!

  • Why didn't they try to collect some of the cure that was on the floor and get it chemically analysed later? D:

  • :O I never knew talen was Derick!!

    [I missed this episode]

  • Anyone know who is the voice actor for the best scientist in the world? i heard that voice before i just cant put my finger on it...

  • @CONKER17

    Honey it's Tim Curry

  • No pulse, he's dead... Begin CPR

  • Jesus christ how many plans does Xanatos have?!

  • @Fireouch MANY. And when things don't go his way, HE ROLLS WITH IT. And when he has to constantly keep changing his plans, HE DOES. There's reason there are three TV tropes named after him: Xanatos Gambit, Xanatos Roulette, and Xanatos Speed Chess. There's also apparently Xanatos Thirty Gambit Pile Up, but I haven't read up on that one.

  • The animation in this episode is... bleh.

  • I figure that Xanatos is like Lex Luthor...and like him, I'd expect a great memory and understanding of any process...that he should know how to recreate the cure. I forget where this goes, but I think he's in on it.

  • i think it's cute that Brooklyn has a crush ^_^

  • the next episode is called legion

  • Um.... What comes after this episode, please?

  • Can't say that came as a surprise. Still, impressive!

  • ...

    Open mouth, insert foot

  • Everything is Xanatos plan

  • is it me or are there only like 2/3 humans in this entire series who aren't as thick as custard; Elisa, Zanatos and his secretary? just once i'd like to see someone side with the gargoyles for a change and have a good reason for not being their friend

  • rofl. i was going to say: why is derrick getting mad, doc will make another antidote. then he gets electrocuted and dies. lol. well a new villain is born i guess, conflict of alliance between eliza and derrick and gargoyles.

  • What a way to end an episode: with Elisa weeping :'(

  • @dragonwing013 Yea, but she's cute

  • I find it so funny how NO ONE believe anyone when their set in stone about their ideals... xD

    except this case they are right o.o

  • Brooklyn: :'(

    Me: BUT I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER! *huggles*

    Brooklyn: 'O.o

    Me: Aw, even when you're scared of your beloved fanbase you're still adorable. <3

    Brooklyn: ...*I* have a fanbase?

    Me: D: You poor boy--you don't even know you're popular! FELLOW FANS WE MUST SHOWER HIM WITH LOVE!

    Yes, I am a very devoted fangirl. XD

  • @Persona100Duh lol so right there with you...<3 Brooklyn!

  • @riala4 I know! Brooklyn's the best! :D

  • GOOD GOD XANATOS IS A GENIUS!

    ITS NO WONDER HE HAS AN ENTIRE INDEX DEDICATED TO HIM ON TV TROPES

  • 6:08

    "Now it's war, Zanatos. You're going down for this, I promise you, no matter what it takes." *stomps off*

    And THAT, my friends, is how you do a drama queen march off.

  • Aw why can't Maggie just accept the facts and stay with Brooklyn

  • @stripdstrwbrrysundae

    Brooklyn is a gargoyle; Maggie is not.

  • that girl is a pain in my as shes a bitch i dont like her she askes for help and at the same time she rejects it

  • Holy crap, xanatos really does plan everything!

  • @kobold86 You just figured that out?

  • haha im from ohio! yay ohio

  • 4:53 Hax!

  • is that cat-bat tish from weekenders?

  • Doesnt Derek look more like a baddass panther later in the series?

  • Xanatos is brilliant.

    Evil, definitely,

    but oh, so brilliant.

  • @shizizzle101 Artemis Fowl is the closest equal to his younger self. Or a foretelling of what Alex is going to be like after his diaper days.

  • whoa. xanatos really crossed the line this time

  • i hate maggie.

  • Damn. I guess it wasn't Derek's night.. LOL

  • Pulses are a lot harder to find than that Zanitos!

  • Is Severeus (or however you spell it) voiced by Tim Curry or am I just crazy?

  • @zoor90 It is Tim Curry.

  • I never realized how evil that guy is.

  • I haven't watched this show since i was a kid, and i never realized how deeply tragic this show is. I love it even more as an adult

  • Goliath's cry of pain is soooooooo much more epic than Dereks

  • Dang!! They killed off Tim Curry NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  • I still have trouble wondering if Xanatos is actually Guilty or if he is truly being "a manipulative bastard"

  • Savarius+ Tim Curry's voice=great villian

  • Man Xanatos is always one step ahead of everyone!!!!!! Just when you begin to like him you hate him again!!!

  • is hudson and bronx a replica of scooby and shaggy? whilst goliath i mean fred goes off wid the girls?

  • ...did Disney just electrocute a guy on-screen? O_O

  • GOLIATH WINS... FATALITY!

  • *alarm going off in the background*

    Severius: "Security's been breached!!"

    Xanatos: "NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!"

  • @Senkoy1 Hey I can settle for a girl with wing tattoos... might not be as cool... but at least I wouldn't have to worry about her having a face like Lex or Brooklyn. hahaha :P

  • I hate seeing Brooklyn so sad even when he is as a statu.

  • Someone actually died. *Gasp* But-but it's a cartoon! They said the word dead and everything.

    Lol. I love this show.

  • @DCMarvelGirl and its on disney channel too

  • This is wat Derrick gets for being a smart ass hahahaha

  • i dunno what they're all complaining about. I'd love to have wings!

  • @galagirl88 Wings are awesome but good luck getting a gir/boyfriend looking like that.

  • I love how this show displays each Gargoyles emotions. Brooklyn's for example, when he turned to stone, his face was still Sad and you could genuinely see it.

  • one of my fav episode outta the series, future tense and the gathering and the city of stone saga

  • Why is this show so awesome?

    IM TRYING TO GO TO SLEEP BUT I CANT STOP WATCHING

  • @Bigdrumnerd101 XDD I almost stayed up all night watching this show but I gave in to sleep

  • @Darkinu2 This might happen to me too tonight. We'll see.

  • @Bigdrumnerd101 That makes 2 of us... Watched the first one, can't stop, been marathoning it...

  • @Bigdrumnerd101 same >.< 

  • @Bigdrumnerd101 me to(i'm doing it right now)

  • @Bigdrumnerd101 lmao im up 5 in morning watch this.

  • why did he hold pick up the eel? loool

  • @mairusu1 Yeah, that was so stupid, I loled.

  • And that's why 90s cartoons were the best; they weren't afraid to leave the audience a bit sad, or even to introduce death and murder (even if it was falsified). Nowadays people shirk at the sight of blood, cringe when there's an innuendo, and emo when the show ends without a happy ending.

    On another note, I have two words of epicness for villain voicing:

    Tim. Curry.

  • 7:23 teardrops are falling

  • Xanatos you motherfucker!!! XDDDD

  • I was tricked XD Wow, Xanatos is totally evil. And the best actor ever...coooool.

    But how did they do the death scene? That looked like an accident o_0

  • How come it's so funny to watch someone be electrocuted? Don't act like I'm the only one that laughed!

    And, now it's his castle, Goliath? Hmmmm? Hahaha, looks like he's almost learning. Now, if he could only understand that humans aren't understanding. 99% of them will never accept him & his kind.

  • @PharoahAfro maybe. But then, what's he supposed to do? Live in secrecy for the rest of his life? Despite all the romanticism around the idea (like for vampires, etc.) it sounds like a very depressing way to live to me.

  • @TheWanderingCactus Really good Acting.

  • @TheWanderingCactus Just saw this comment. He doesn't have a choice when it comes to human perception. And, I do not take part in that romanticism. That is the way it is. If it is depressing or not depends on your perception of his situation. It is rather foolish to be depressed about something that he can't change. And, he does have his clan + Elisa. He need not be depressed. Besides all of that they clearly do not choose to live in complete secrecy. (Comparing Gargoyles to Vampires? A stretch)

  • wow i forgot how smart they made xanatos back in this cartoon lol tricky guy

  • It seems like later in the season the mutate's tails disapear. It's weird looking.

  • poor Derrick... his sister had to see him in blue spandex underwear

  • 0:50 Wow, what a sign of intelligence...

  • Man, if I were a gargoyle I'd let Brooklyn save me. Wow, I'm so wierd. Oh well. So is this show. Loved the doctor death scene. :)

  • Why couldn't Xanotos just be honest with Derrick? Or give him a half-truth like Maggie, telling him he could be the first man to fly without an airplane? And does anyone else think Xanotos had planned on mutating Derrick since the day he found out Elisa had a brother?

  • @ztslovebird

    I do not know.

    It is possible the plan to mutate Derek happened later. Remember, it had been eight months since Derek was hired. Something could have ghappened to give Xanatos the idea that Derek could make a good test subject.

  • @mejercit I didn't know that 8 months had passed. But it makes more sense now, rather than if it had happened a few weeks after the episode when Derrick was turned to the Dark Side.

  • lol when he said hope to die after she said cross my heart he must have been like this..."hope to die-- oh FUCK!"

  • ELISA don't make the sad face!!!!!! T^T

  • Rofl, their tails disappear in the later episodes.

  • What a truely TRAGIC episode!

  • Omg she doesn't like you, Brooklyn. Stop chasing her.

  • @punkassflowerchild i can understand he only wants to help her but seriously, she doesnt LIKE you XD

  • go flying furries woo

  • I think I died and gone to heaven!

    I don't remember this episode, but I love the flying furries! XD

  • Is it just me, or do they switch artists constantly? I never noticed it when I was younger, but there are subtle--and not--details that are changed. The shape of the eyes, the body contours, and sometimes I even caught slight shading differences. Does anyone know whats up with that?

  • @OhMightyWeirdOne As far as I know there were at least 2 studios w
