Recurring Role |
When the gargoyles go to the subway station, most of the transformed humans lack gargoyle tails, this is most apparent when the trio of flirting females walk away from the gargoyles, where the only one with a tail is the one who winked at the garg Trio.
Puck: Well, let's just get this over with, shall we? How can I be of service? Out with it, I haven't got all night!
Demona: You've got all millennium, if I choose.
Puck: First the humans, I'll attend... (The humans and Elisa turn back to normal, Elisa and the human Goliath spend a brief moment looking at each other before...) ...then the Gargoyles, will I mend. If it's efforts you commend: Free Puck; set him homeward-wend.
Puck: Humans love a battle hearty! So does Puck, come on, let's party!
Puck: And give nothing in return for this merriment? Puck is many things, but never a poor guest.
Demona: Please! Leave!
(Puck gives an insulted face and vanishes, but his voice comes back)
Puck: So you wanted to be Gargoyle by night, but not stone by day? So be it. (he appears) Fearsome creature who would stay, unchanged by the light of day. Remain thee thus throughout the night and be thou FLESH! By dawn's fair light.
Goliath: Elisa, I ...
Elisa: Yeah, I know, you're as realived as I am that things are back to normal.
Goliath: That's not what I was going to say ...
(She starts to touch his mouth, as he turns to stone)
Elisa: I know but that's the way it is.
Goliath: Until now, I never realized how very beautiful you are....
Gargoyle-Elisa: You mean you thought I was ugly?
Demona: I wanted you to destroy the humans, not give them the gift of being a gargoyle!
Goliath: My strength has never depended on brute force, Demona, but on true friends.
Demona: You serve the human, now you can serve me.
Puck: Serving humans is fun. They have a sense of humor. You have none.
Demona: Perhaps not, Puck, but I have you.
When Elisa turns away from the mirror at the start of the episode, note that her reflection does not match her movements. This was an intentional gag by the production team to clue the audience into the mirror's magical nature.
Ironic that this episode featuring scenes atop the World Trade Center would originally air exactly 6 years before 9/11.
Brent Spiner--who starred with Jonathan Frakes (David Xanatos), Marina Sirtis (Demona), and Michael Dorn (Lt. Worf) on Star Trek: The Next Generation as Lt. Comdr. Data-- joins the cast in a reoccuring role as Puck, the fairy/elf from Shakesphere's A Midsummer's Night Dream.
Interestingly, the now human gargoyles vaguely resemble their real world counterparts, especially Hudson, whose human form bares a striking resemblance to Ed Asner, the voice of Hudson.
We find out about the existence of three races: Gargoyles, Humans, and Oberon's Children.
Puck: Does this look like Aladdin's lamp?
Undoubtedly a minor in-joke to Disney's Aladdin movie. Although Puck implies he isn't as powerful as a genie, it's significant to note he doesn't actually say he can't eradicate humanity - rather he misdirects Demona into asking for something else.
