So Elisa Maza here is a New York police detective from the 1994 animated series, Gargoyles. I remember thinking the show was Disney's answer to the success Warner Bros had found with it's dark and edgy Batman: The Animated Series.

Not an easy show to compete with if you ask me, as I still regard that Batman cartoon as pretty much the best animated anything ever created. But Gargoyles held its own admirably with its dramatic world and it's downright ballsy subject matter for the time.

One example that stands out to me was an episode where the lesson for  young viewers was "don't play with guns."  The lesson in and of itself was nothing special, what stood out was the execution. While one of the gargoyles is playing with Elisa's handgun in her apartment, he accidentally shoots her and she collapses in a puddle of blood.  She survived of course but damn, you certainly didn't see THAT shit on Darkwing Duck.

Anyhow I haven't seen the show in quite some time but I'm guessing it has aged well and would still be worth watching today. It deserves praise for not only its memorable stories but also for its remarkable ability to round up so many Star Trek actors to voice its cast. If you haven't seen it it's worth checking out. :)
