Is the way the gargoyles glide accurate? How long, realistically, can they be expected to be able to stay up there? How long can hangliders stay up? Are there two gs in hangglider? Why do their clothes also turn to stone?
I don't think all of the gliding they do can be very accurate, though. I mean, they rush downwards and stuff! But whatever, most sci-fi/fantasy television isn't all that scientifically accurate anyway. ::snerk:: I enjoy the stories more than the nitty gritty.

And I think hang glider is two words.
