Dennis Woodyard returns, alongside Greg Weisman, to discuss this seminal episode. We discuss a myriad of topics such as Dennis presenting this episode at a library event for Black History Month; previously working with the Anansi character; and his time on the show producing it with Greg Weisman and Frank Paur.
We also discuss the ancient myths and legends of Anansi, and trickster figures around the globe. We discuss the cultural importance of the storyteller and how appropriate that makes the casting of LeVar Burton. We also discuss the legendary Nichelle Nichols in the role of Diane Maza and her iconic history on television.
Other topics include the werepanthers and the relationship between Fara Maku and Tea Gora. Elisa’s relationship and dynamic with her mother. We also discuss Goliath’s relationship with Angela, gargoyle cultural parenting… and how a large portion of the fandom misunderstood a significant aspect of this during the episode’s resolution.
