Tidbits

Officer Morgan makes his second appearance in "Gargoyles", the first being in "Awakening" (Parts One and Two).

The Grimorum Arcanorum is named for the first time.

Demona says that the mind-control spell she uses on Goliath is complex and requires much time to study. Since the actual incantation consists of only three Latin words, two of which are short ones, this would indicate (unless Demona was lying to Brooklyn) that the complexities lay elsewhere, maybe in correct pronunciation or accompanying gestures. Remarks elsewhere in the series (such as "City of Stone Part Three" and "The Price") that one has to be an experienced wizard to be able to use magic properly would confirm this suggestion that spell-casting in the Gargoyles Universe consists of far more than just saying the right words.

Brooklyn's motorcycle was designed to be adapted into a toy vehicle for Kenner's line of Gargoyles action figures - though one doubts that Kenner was at all amused when the script proceeded to have the motorcycle blown up before the end of Act One!
