    ...

    Legion... this was the Coldstone one, right?

    Much better than his initial episode... although I definitely wasn't a fan of the VR segment.

    Question- So, at the end, Coldstone's comatose in their lair?

    And Trent might just use an invisiportal to enter Mesagog's lair.

    Gah... I think I got half the plot of the series just from people hinting at stuff...

    I was always disturbed by how jealous Coldstone would get.

    -Look, brother! He's taking your love.
    -GRRRR!! I KEEL U NOW DOOOOD!!!!!1111111111

    The evil one or the stupid one? Gee, if I were that chick gargoyle I would've let that virus take me.

    See what happens when you Hack a Government Computer??!!

    Now in Metamorphisis, we see Eliza having to confront her brother whos been mutated into a winged freak of nature..(and left wondering how to bring Xanatos down for this Heinous crime..)

    but now in Legion, it makes me wonder why Xanatos would want a Computer virus? After all I think about what he could do with that and if he wanted to could have brought down the internet without a second thought.. (of course I can see Xanatos using every person he has interacted with as a Pawn in a Large game of Chess, , Sevarius, Fox (and) the Pack, Coldstone, Demona.

    In short with this episode we can see this is a major mental game of Chess that Xanatos is playing..

    but as for the real story.. Seeing Coldstone suffering from Multiple Personality Syndrome was perhaps the Coolest thing in the show.. Seeing him go through a number of Mood shifts and personality changes kept the viewer guessing..

    of course I noted that Lexington has learned to adapt in both this episode and in Metamorphisis, as he learned how to hack fast enough, and then of course turn around and use VR technology.. very impressive for the Littlest Gargoyle.. Small and smart... this little guy could be a major Danger some day..

    but all in all another 4 out of 5 star run, it's far from perfect but then again is any Gargoyles episode perfect when Disney edits them?

    I find the juvenille 90s take on VR funny.

    Interesting episode, but I felt the struggle between the "brothers" wasn't fleshed out enough. Gargoyles actually can't have blood related siblings since they lay one egg per 20 years, in case you were confused (I liked how they left us hanging for awhile on whether it was Gargoylcest on not. )

    Television Blows. So enjoy it.

    Meh. Coldstone isn't my favorite character (though you gotta love Micheal Dorn, my man Worf). This episode never really grabbed me. Yeah the mid-minies VR stuff is quite laughable and dated (perhaps the only element of Gargoyles that hasn't aged well. Considering their track record that's amazing that this show is usually still fresh after all these years.)

    Okay Gargoyles. ***. Just 'cause.

    Why did they infuse Coldstone with 3 different personalities? And how did they do that? Did they somehow extract the minds from the corpses and into Coldstone?

    Coldstone was reanimated using the peices from three different Gargoyles: Coldstone (Othello), Desdemoena, and Iago. So he gets a lil' confused sometimes.

    I think Demona probably got the samples during one of the first "City of Stone" flashbacks

    I cannot stess this enought. ALWAYS SEARCH FOR A BODY!
    I didn't feel it was very realistic that the Gargoyles never brought Coldstone's body out of the water... You would think that they in case of any chance he would be alive (which he was)
    Anyway, I thought it was intereting to see more about the Gargoyles that didn't entirely make it to current times (or a few years ago, whichever). I didn't like this episode as much as some of the others I've seen, but it wasn't a terrible episode. It was just okay.

    Spoiler:
    Unless you forgot, in Episode 13, Goliath nearly just drown in that river and they could not let the police know that Coldstone was down there.
