"Future Tense" is set at the end of the [[Avalon World Tour]] as [[Goliath]] wishes to return home to [[Manhattan]], although much of the action takes place in a bleak alternate future in the year 2036. In this dystopian future, [[David Xanatos|Xanatos]] has conquered Manhattan and he rules the island from his high-tech [[Eyrie Pyramid]] while his subjects live in poverty and fear. An underground resistance led by an older [[Brooklyn]] seeks to overthrow Xanatos and end his tyranny. The tone of the episode was partly inspred by Days of Future Past, a seminal story from the 80s ''X-Men'' comics by Claremont and Byrne. An early visual of a destroyed [[Statue of Liberty]] was also inspired by the famous scene at the end of ''Planet of the Apes''.

Although Goliath's return to Manhattan in 1996 in "[[The Gathering Part One|The Gathering]]" means that this alternate future cannot come to pass, it remains unclear how many elements will eventually enter the ''Gargoyles'' universe. Some elements have already occurred (such as the destruction of the [[Clock Tower]] in "[[Hunter's Moon Part Two|Hunter's Moon]]"), but others have not. Allusions to the episode have appeared as recently as "[[Bash]]", and repurcussions such as the fate of the time-travelling [[Phoenix Gate]] have yet to be addressed. This continues to be one of the most intriguing characteristics of the episode. '''[[Future Tense|(more...)]]'''
