Cu Chullain & the Banshee still fascinates me. Actually, the on-going story of Rory & Molly a.k.a. I guess in the Gargoyles Universe, things might have been a bit different. And I didn't do or have time to do all the necessary research, I'm afraid. I just wasn't that familiar with this legend at the time. I've since gathered fromt the fans that Cu Chullain himself was the Hound of Ulster, a title he won by having to act as a watchdog for another lord for a period of time. I changed it to "The Hound of Ulster," which was a compromise we could all live with.īut somewhere in here we confused the legend of Cu Chullain, with the legend of the Barghest/Great Beast (not to mention tossing in and combining the Banshee and Crom-Cruach). But Michael and Peter & Diane protested that the Barghest was a Northern English legend, not an Irish one. Then I think I wanted to change the title to "The Barghest". They wound up using that title for an episode of Goliath Chronicles, I think. In addition to dealing with the gargoyles' attempts to adjust to modern New York City, the series also incorporated various supernatural threats to their safety and to the world at large.I think my original title for this episode was "A Bronx Tail" or "A Bronx Tale". While trying to adjust to their new world, they are aided by a sympathetic police officer named Elisa Maza and quickly come into conflict with the plotting Xanatos. Most are betrayed and killed by humans while petrified and the remainder are magically cursed to sleep-i.e., be frozen in stone form until the castle "rises above the clouds." A thousand years later in 1994, billionaire David Xanatos purchases the gargoyles' castle and has it reconstructed atop his New York skyscraper, the Eyrie Building, thus awakening Goliath and the remainder of his clan. In 994, the clan lives in a castle in Scotland.
The series features a species of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that turn to stone during the day, focusing on a clan led by Goliath. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles! Stone by day, warriors by night, We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.
