Summary
Opening Monologue
"The yearning for renewal is universal. The human new year takes many forms, but each message is the same. The struggles of the old year die away, as unspoiled hopes of the new year are born. Sometimes, hope is all we have."
Ending Monologue
"One thousand years ago, we lived in a world that understood our purpose. It was the age of Gargoyles. Ten centuries later, we awoke to a world bent on our destruction. Somehow, we never lost hope, and today we come full circle. A new age has begun, and we live again."
Tidbits
Originally, the production team for The Goliath Chronicles intended to end the episode with the gargoyles and Elisa fleeing New York for good; Goliath and Elisa would move to Chicago (Elisa changing her name) and Brooklyn and Lexington would embark on their own world tour. Fortunately, Greg Weisman persuaded his successors not to use this idea.
This is also the only episode in The Goliath Chronicles (again, apart from "The Journey") to include a Shakespearean reference (assuming that Titania's role in "...For It May Come True" doesn't count): Xanatos's line "Now you have two choices: to be or not to be."
