Jeff does a Schwartzenegger impersonation for the mercenary. Thailog lets Keith cut loose and just be BAD.Īlso, a touch of Jeff Bennett's amazing flexibility too. There's never any question as to which character is speaking whether that character is on-camera or not. Creating Thailog allowed Keith to do things that he otherwise wouldn't. The fact that he was brilliant as Goliath, but that Goliath didn't allow us to show but a fraction of Keith's true range.
Still, one of the impulses that made me want to create Thailog was Keith David's talent. Though I had forgotten, Goliath laughs pretty darn maniacally in "Enter Macbeth" after Macbeth suggests that Demona will come to Goliath's rescue. Then we hear the maniacal laughter, which Hudson will later comment on: "Do you even know how to laugh maniacally?" he'll ask Goliath. There's a color error (or perhaps cheat) where we see a flash of what will eventually turn out to be Thailog's arm. It's nice to see Goliath's old stubbornness there too. A Steel Clan Robot interrupts Elisa trying to convince G that they need to find a new home.
Though to me retcon is a nearly derogative term suggesting that continuity has been abused to fit new circumstances and I think our little flashback here fits in nicely with what we already knew of that time. Reading is like a super-power to her now. She also enjoys reading the various on-screen scrawls, like "One Year Ago" and "One Year Later". And she was very amused that the title 'translated' as "Double Trouble". I liked "Reversals" but he must have convinced me to go for "Double Jeopardy".Įrin, who can now read, asked what "Jeopardy" meant. His original title was "Thailog Rules", which I didn't care for. I had to point out that that was nearly TWO years ago.Ĭary must have come up with this one, I think. Then when Benny saw Xanatos in the credits, he said, "I was Xanatos last year." Here, he's referring to the fact that he dressed up as Xanatos for the costume ball at G2000. Erin, I believe has Brooklyn, Broadway and the Steel Clan robot. Watching the opening titles, my five year old son Benny remarked to his seven year old sister Erin: "You have and I have Goliath." He's referring to the Kenner toys I gave them a couple Christmas' ago. I've occasionally had to check out individual scenes and/or credits for things I've been working on, but I don't think I've sat down to watch a whole episode beginning to end in quite some time either. It's literally been over a year since my kids or my wife have seen an episode of Gargoyles. (This 'chapter'/episode was written & Story Edited by my old buddy Cary Bates.) My family and I watched "Double Jeopardy" a few nights ago for the DCV and for my (belated) but on-going Ramblings on each of the Gargoyles episodes.
