- Director: Dennis Woodyard
Summary
Tidbits
Possession was originally intended to be two stories, one about the Coldtrio, the other about Puck tutoring Alex; the original concept for the latter was that Raven, Coyote the Trickster, and Anansi would apparently attempt to abduct Alex, though why is uncertain (since Titania had been satisfied with the arrangement at the end of The Gathering Part Two, she surely would have no reason to send them on this mission, and it is hard to imagine the three tricksters leaving Avalon without her and Oberon's permission). When Possession became a single story, the projected Tricksters episode was initially moved to Season Three, then drastically altered (once Greg Weisman left Gargoyles and the series underwent its unfortunate metamorphosis into The Goliath Chronicles) into Ransom, where Alex's abductor was a villainous mayoral candidate who was exploiting the gargoyle issue in the hopes of getting elected to office.
The opening scene, where Xanatos catches up with Coldstone in the Himalayas, is a reference to a story that Greg Weisman had planned to write for the Marvel Gargoyles comic before it folded, in which Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx would encounter Coldstone in the Himalayas during the Avalon World Tour. It would also explain why Angela does not have a very strong reaction to first seeing Coldstone in the episode, since she had seen him before. (This story will finally be told in the upcoming issue #6 of the SLG Gargoyles comic book series, "Reunion".)
Xanatos makes a reference to the television series Bewitched when he suggests that Owen turn into Puck and "wiggle your nose or something".
Greg Weisman had plans for a story in Season Three (never made) in which Coldsteel would, in some unknown way, interact with a new Coyote robot (Coyote 5.0) - presumably as allies, though the details are as yet unknown.
