** There is no injustice. Puck deserved what he got. Regardless of what else Puck may have committed himself to Oberon was still his lord and master and Puck ignored the command to return to Avalon for the Gathering. Then when Oberon shows up in person Puck attacks him, and no it is not a necessary attack, Alexander was in no actual danger and Oberon was deliberately not using lethal force (and he easily could have killed all of them repeatedly). Three of Oberon's Children failed to show to the Gathering, Banshee, Puck and Titania. Oberon says Titania may coem and go as she pleases and even she submits when he directly orders it. Banshee refused the call and started a fight with Odin and ended up haing her power restrained. Puck refused the call and attacked him personally and ended up with his power restrained and banished from his homeland. Honestly, Oberon punished pretty fairly and consistently if you think about it, he even left enough loopholes to allow Puck to remain immortal. It's Puck who made his choice and has to live with the consequences.

With Puck's meddling in "The Mirror" turning everyone in town into gargoyles, for instance, there must have been a lot of violent encounters on the outskirts of the city between the unaffected humans just entering and the humans-turned-gargoyles who believed (while under the spell's influence) that they'd always been gargoyles, and that ordinary humans were some kind of alien species. A lot of the unaffected humans would be convinced that they'd stumbled into an enclave of terrifying monsters, while the humans-turned-gargoyles would be convinced that terrifying alien creatures were invading their city; this would not end well for either species.

* In "A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time", Robbins looks up a phone number in a directory, causing Hudson to mutter "Magic book." But although Hudson is illiterate, he certainly understands the concept of books and looking up information in them. Then you realize that Robbins is blind, and is using a Braille phonebook. What Hudson sees is a blind man looking up a phone number in a book that appears to have blank pages. Magic, indeed.

* A big hint that Angela and Broadway would become mates is in their first meeting: Broadway gave her chocolate, albeit most of them were eaten. In romantic moments, a person (usually a man) will give chocolates as a sign of affection and/or love to another person (usually a woman).

And if by some miracle that wouldn't happened, the Matrix would have covered the entire planet with [[GreyGoo nanobots]]. In Avalon, Oberon would have killed Katherine, Tom and all the Gargoyles.

**** "Dying of the Light" is not canon but the fact that Jeffery Robins knows about Hudson was made canon in the comics. The only canon episode is "The Journey."

* Regarding the 'Conveniently Cellmates' trope on the main page... I just pictured Jackal or Hyena in a cell with some hapless drug-dealer or mugger doing time. ''It doesn't end well for the mook in this scenario.'' Yuck. No wonder the warden ended up putting them in with Fox and Wolf.
