"Vendettas" is the fifty-ninth televised episode of the series Gargoyles, and the forty-sixth episode of Season 2.

Summary

Tidbits

This is the only episode which ends with an iris-out (another sign that it was designed as primarily a comedy).

Brendan, Margot, and the Jogger are among the passers-by who stare at Vinnie as he lugs Mr. Carter along.

Greg Weisman realized too late, after making this episode, that the weapon that Hakon was joined to should have been the mace that he used in the Wyvern Massacre rather than a battle-axe.

Vinnie's name, and Mr. Carter's, were both references to the television series Welcome back Kotter (1975-79): the characters of Mr. Kotter and Vinnie Barbarino.

Mr. Acme's name was a reference to the Warner Brothers classic Roadrunner-and-Coyote cartoons, derived from the numerous Acme products that Wile E. Coyote used in his unsuccessful attempts to catch the Roadrunner. (Obviously the Coyote robots aren't the only Wile E. analogue in the Gargoyles Universe; Vinnie's own self-caused humiliations parallel Wile E. Coyote's perfectly.)

Vinnie hums the Gargoyles theme music as he walks off after finally pieing Goliath (with no explanation as to how he became aware of it).
