Will Alex be (magically) as strong, or stronger than say Puck or Merlin?

As Puck? I doubt it. Puck is a 100% changeling, and Alex is only 25%. But Alex has a good teacher and a lot of potential. As Merlin? The question is how much time Alex dedicates to his magical studies. He may have other interests as well.

In The Mirror, Elisa asks the clan what Demona would want with a mirror, and Hudson answers that it's Titania's Mirror. My question is how did he know it was Titania's Mirror? Was this a subtle forshadowing of a as of yet untold story?

It was advertised as Titania's Mirror. There was a big sign outside the Museum.

If Goliath knew that no one had the power to change time with the Phoenix Gate, then why didn't he just let Puck give it to Oberon, surely even Oberon doesn't have the power to change history?

As you may have seen, the Gate has much potential for mischief without changing history. Besides, would you have given it to Puck after "Future Tense"?

Even though Puck was training Alex, was Puck supposed to train Fox also or not?

No.

Brooklyn mentioned in one episode the play A MID-SUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM(which is one of my favorites). Did Shakespeare know Puck, or another member of Oberan's children??

I haven't decided. He did know Macbeth. But he didn't know he knew Macbeth.

I'm sorry if you've answered this already, was Owen always Puck, the reason I ask is I was wondering how Puck was trapped in the mirror if he was? (I was never really sure)

He wasn't trapped in the mirror. He was summoned through the mirror. Does that clarify things?

Why was Oberon so upset about the scorn that his "Children" felt towards humans that he banished them from Avalon for a thousand years? He showed a LOT of scorn towards humans himself in both "Ill Met By Moonlight" and "The Gathering".

Everything's relative, and besides, Oberon isn't exactly a model of self-analysis.

Does the non-interference edict forbid Oberon's Children to meddle in the lives of gargoyles, or does it just extend towards humans?

Mortals includes humans and gargoyles.

Had Puck planned on making "Evil Lex" the villain of his "Future Tense" nightmare from the start, or had he originally planned Xanatos as the villain, and then changed his mind halfway through?

If Puck could have gotten Goliath to turn over the Gate to "Brooklyn" in the first five minutes, he would have stopped it right there, and the Lex thing would never have been revealed. But I'm sure he was prepared to continue his escalation as far as necessary. He's a tricky guy.

I noticed that, both in the episodes following "Future Tense", and in your announced plans for the series' future, there were a number of "Future Tense" echoes (the birth of Alexander, the destruction of the clock tower, Brooklyn's TimeDancing adventures lasting for 40 years, the formation of the Ultra-Pack). Were these echoes deliberate?

Yes.

If Demona had released the contents of the plague vial, what would have happened to Oberon's Children, the New Olympians, and Nokkar? Would they have perished alongside the humans?

I don't know about Oberon's children, who are creatures of magic, not biology. Or Nokkar, whose biology may be so vastly different. But I think the New Olympians would definitely have been in trouble, except for the New Olympian citizens who happen to be Gargoyles, who would have been protected by the Praying Gargoyle Statue.

Who was Avalon created by? Did Avalon exist from the start of time?

Avalon is connected to the Earth. It's creation came about in much the same way as the rest of the planet's creation -- if you substitute magic for land.

Can members of the Third Race be killed permanently? Both the Banshee and Anansi were apparently permanently killed in the Avalon World Tour, yet appeared at the Gathering alive again, which prompts me to wonder this.

Yes. But not easily.

Bearing on the previous question, if the Weird Sisters were somehow permanently destroyed (which, I will be the first to admit, is a very big IF), would Demona and Macbeth still be magically bonded to each other?

I guess it would depend on how they were destroyed.

In the Gathering it did strike me as odd, that Oberon attacked the forceshield of Owens with brute force alone for most of the episode, instead of blasting the unshielded emitters, or diving through under it from the beginning on. Since Titania seemed to have set this whole kidnapping stuff up to get her Daughter to use magic, did Oberon really attack in ernest, or did he see through this plot and was just giving a performance?

I think Oberon's attack was in earnest. SO MUCH earnest that he didn't think of the best method of attack until later.

If you had a globe of the world (the types found in classrooms), could you place Avalon on it?

Not in any traditional sense.

Okay, let's just be blunt! Many have been beating around the bush and circumventing this curious little question... Is Oberon Puck's father????

No. Oberon is Merlin's father.

+++++++
Here's what we know to date:
Queen Mab is Oberon's mother.
Oberon is married to Titania.
But Oberon has a son, Merlin, by a human woman.
That makes Merlin a human-fae hybrid.
Titania has a daughter, Fox (or Janine), by the human Halcyon Renard.
That makes Fox a hybrid too, but she was raised as a human.
Fox is married to David Xanatos (the son of Petros Xanatos).
They have a son Alexander Fox Xanatos, who is one-quarter Fae.
Puck/Owen, as far as we know, isn't related to anyone that we've met to date.
+++++++

Are all the Tricksters related (by blood)? They cirtainly have some similar personality traits, particularly Puck and Coyote! =)

No.

In response to someone's question of what would have happened to the Phoenix Gate after TimeDancer, you said it would restarted its journey from scratch as in a neverending loop. I don't know if I remembered this correctly but wasn't the Gate created on Avalon? If it was created how could it go in a loop from the very beginning? Time can't be changed...

The Gate is "of Avalon." Its journey begins, ends and restarts there. Time cannot be changed. (Ye, of little faith.)

How would having Puck as a teacher effect Alex's outlook and use of magic?

How do you think?
(GDW / 4-24-98)

is puck in any way related to oberon or titania,if so how?

No.

since we found out fox is titania's daughter,i've been wondering does that mean fox and puck are related?

No.

how come owen didn't fix his hand?

Cause it would be cheating. Not for him, but for Xanatos. Xanatos loses the use of a two-handed assistant, he doesn't get that fully functional assistant back. Puck won't use magic to help David.
(GDW / 4-24-98)

I know Puck chose the fore of Owen after seeing Vogel. What did he appear as before that?

Lots of things.

Does Oberon's non - interference law apply to himself?

Yes, but he interprets that law.

The series focusses on a lot of tricksters.. Puck, of course,and Anansi, Coyote, Raven.. any specific reason? Were they easier to develop plots with or what? Is it an in joke??

I like Tricksters. They certainly aren't easy to write, but they are rewarding.

Do the fey have blood? Since iron is deadly to them, they can't use it in their hemoglobin, if they have any. So how does oxygen get around in them?

The Children are creatures of pure magic.
