I'll add more later, but...
Season 1 Finale
Coldstone!
Thoughts?

Michael Dorn as Coldstone... yessir. This was another good episode.
There was something odd about this episode, though. Goliath somehow knew that Xanatos was red steel clan robot. But it seemed like he shouldn't have known that, and Brooklyn and Lexington were surprised to see him when he took off his helmet during the battle on the bridge. Did I miss something, between The Edge and Reawakening, that confirms Goliath knew Xanatos was in the red suit?

What really makes this episode go from good to great are three things.
One, Xanatos, while resurrecting Coldstone, yells, "It's ALIVE!! IT'S ALIVE!!" Then he turns to Demona and says, "I always wanted to say that."
That really makes the moment.
Two, this the first time in the series where magic and science are directly combined to create something. That's very cool idea by itself.
Three, the clan learns that the red Steel Clan robot is actually Xanatos in an exo-suit. Though we knew that in Episode 08: The Edge.

If you place close attention to the what Goliath said after the down-town fight, he says that he knows that Xanatos is controlling the Steel Clan from remote. He does not learn the truth until after the bridge fight.

No, that's not what I meant. He said "Xanatos" during that conversation. My question was... how did he know that the red robot was Xanatos, when it seemed that he never knew (before Reawakening)?

Goliath was speaking to the red 'robot' because the clan realized that was the leader in 'The Edge'.
But that did not know that is was really Xanatos wearing an eco-suit.

I like any episode of a series that changes the heroes' entire mission statement.
I loved Xanatos "It alive! ALIVE!" Not as much as I enjoyed Demona introducing Xanatos as her servant though. That was hilarious.
Good animation, good fights, awesome that Goliath was so interested in the police motto "To protect and serve." It made him realize that protecting the clock tower was silly and that all of Manhattan was his castle. Great episode. ****.

Coldstone, my favorite character in the series especially in season 2 where we find out he suffers from multiple personality disorder as a result of being recreated with pieces from himself, his love, and his rival for her affections

As soon as I saw that "new gargoyle" at the beginning, I knew he'd be in the episode later. As soon as I saw Demona and Xanatos doing the Frankenbeans thing, I knew he'd be the cyborg gargoyle everyone mentioned.
And boy, did his cyborg design look... rahter poor? Seems like they coulda done a better half gargoyle/half metal design.
I loved this episode, especially one moment nobody has mentioned yet: The ending. I mean, come on...
Robber: "Just call the cops so I can turn myself in!"
Shop Owner: "What? Why?"
Robber: "Cuz' six monsters just told me to..." *Cowers in front of counter.*

Indeed Fone Bone, and I used to have a Sound clip of that exact Scene.. it's always was hilarious to hear it.. and laugh thinking that Xanatos was playing Frankenstein up so well.. (of course Demona was not Amused!)
Maybe Xanatos was trying to Spoof Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein!) :D
