Voices from the Eyrie – 61 – Sentinel

We are joined by Greg Weisman; a returning Cary Bates; and long time fan, Matt Parker, to discuss this otherworldly episode that brings us a new twist. We discuss bringing in heavy science fiction elements as well as the genre that “Gargoyles” falls into and why this doesn’t clash with it. We discuss a wide variety of topics such as Avery Brooks as Nokkar, Rapa Nui, the presentation of alien technology, and more. We also discuss amnesia as a plot element, and Goliath and Elisa meeting for “the first time” under very different circumstances. We then delve into the proposed…

We talk about just how cunning Angela is in the face of making Goliath the villain for the episode as absolute power corrupts absolutely. And much…
