Notes

add »
Though Coldstone's previous onscreen appearance was in "High Noon", an additional story written by Greg was planned for Marvel Comics Gargoyles series. The story was set during The Avalon World Tour arc (Inbetween "Cloud Father" and "Ill Met By Moonlight"). The story has Goliath and crew sent to the Himalayas by Avalon where they run into Coldstone (hence his appearance at the beginning of the episode. Also, this explains why Angela seemed familiar with Coldstone as they never met onscreen prior to the episode. (edit)
Elisa doesn't appear in this episode. (edit)

Superb
Possession
"Character development"
Interesting turning point for the Coldtrio. (Spoilers) It will be nice to see the preceeding story in Gargoyles #6.

Perfect
Possession
"Exactly why I watch this series"
Everything is twisted around when Puck teaches Alex the spell of soul transference. Not only is Goliath's clan involved, so is Coldstone & his 3 different personalities. Who is who? You'll have to figure that out on your own.
