    This honestly has to be one of the more absurd things I've seen you post. I have to believe this is some attempt at edgelord humor. Either that or you're a sociopath.

    Well... I didn't expect to read anything like this today. I wanted to make a joke, but I actually can't.

    My God that is quite possibly the most absurd thing I've ever seen you post. If it's an attempt at humor, maybe read the room before you shoot your mouth off. It's no wonder you got booted from Tokunation spouting shit like that.

    Well I found my path in life, psycho. :lol 

    Although, I did like the both comment above. :thumb 

    It is funny how some of you are getting worked up over something that can never realistically happen though.

    But we're talking about fantasy, so it's not real.

    Saying that it's "your fantasy" to gleefully smash people to bits isn't helping your case.

    How is it any different than just walking around in a GTA game, murdering tons of people with rocket launchers and stuff? I'm not going to do it in the real world.

    Anyway, we should probably get back on topic.

    Because what you did is the equivalent of a GTA player wishing they had the means to do that in real life. To quote you "if everyone turned into stone you can bet I would be going around smashing them to bits too". You're basically saying that if such a fictional scenario were possible you'd be cool with murdering innocent people that had never done you any wrong. Also, I get that fake and hypothetical acts of violence can at times be somewhat therapeutic mentally. But there's a difference between reading/writing/watching a story with extreme acts of violence or playing a game and committing extreme violent acts and wishing you had the opportunity to do so in the real world.

    because one is a video game and the other is something you said you'd do given the chance.

    I guess that's also a reason why Angela's important, to show that just because you directly share blood with someone doesn't mean you're destined to become like them. I think still within season 2, they had at least one episode whenre Angela seeked out Demona out of sympathy and looked into seeing if there was aby possibility she could have as much of an daughter/mother relationship as she has with Goliath, just to realize despite any empathy she might have towards her mother, there was nothing there she could work with wothout severly compromising herself.

    "Revelations" was a nice episode that finally brings Matt Bluestone in on the gargoyles secret. My favorite thing about this episode is that like "The Silver Falcon" it's got a detective noir atmosphere. From the Matt chasing crazy leads to his narration, it all adds a nice air to what otherwise might be just a bland episode. There's not too much action or mythology, but what we do have is good. I like the continuity nods to Matt finding Elisa's television from the previous year up in the clock tower to his old partner returning again and even Matt insisting on driving for a change. It's really cool to see that Matt's hunch about Mace Malone being part of the Illuminati from back in "The Silver Falcon" was not only correct, but that it pays off in making him a member of the organization. Surprisingly, Xanatos is revealed to just be a lower member of the Illuminati. Just how powerful is this group that a billionaire with access to advanced technology and sorcery and a drive to attain immortality is actually part of the lower echelon of the Illuminati. In the end, the gargoyles have gained another ally in Matt Bluestone, which I love. In a world that still fears and hates them, they need all the friends they can get. This was a neat episode that makes for a great companion piece to "The Silver Falcon." I think one day I'll have to watch them back to back and see what other minor details I might've missed the first time.

    "Double Jeopardy" introduces the Goliath clone Thailog. I'd been waiting for this episode for a while now. For some reason, I thought it came much earlier in the season. Presumably before "City of Stone." The highlight of this episode is naturally Keith David's performance as the villainous Thailog. The man has the perfect voice for animation. He can play quiet, pensive, furious, heartbroken, and now devious and maniacal. Hudson asking Goliath, "Do you even know how to laugh maniacally?" is one of the funniest lines in the entire show. Funny how both this episode and "Leader of the Pack" end with a battle amongst flames, first on an oil tanker and now on an oil rig. There should really be more security around those things. Xanatos actually saying he might take some revenge on Sevarius for his perceived betrayal does show just how much Xanatos appreciates loyalty. He doesn't take too kindly to being double crossed and extorted. Though the mastermind ends up being Thailog himself, who nearly succeeds in killing off his three fathers: Xanatos, Sevarius, and Goliath. It's a bit of a retcon that Goliath does see Thailog as his son despite the fact we later learn that gargoyles do not take personal parentage of their children, rather the entire clan is seen as the parents of all offspring. I just chalk this up to Goliath realizing that Thailog was made straight from his blood in a way that normal reproduction wouldn't be possible. By episode's end, Thailog has faked his death and made off with $20 million, all while laughing maniacally.

    I think one day I may watch "Outfoxed," "Revelations," and "Double Jeopardy" all before "High Noon." Just to see if that provides a nice breather between it and "City of Stone."
