REMINDER: 'See You at the Crossroads' Re-Airing on Teletoon Tomorrow.

As we had reported earlier this month, Episode 1.08: See You at the Crossroads, the 'Class of the Titans' Hallowe'en special, will be re-airing tomorrow on the English version of Teletoon. That's Saturday March 31, 2007 during the show's regular weekend timeslot that begins at 2:00PM ET/PT.

Many thanks again to Teletoon audience relations co-ordinator Julie Benoit for the original heads-up about the episode.

Incidental Thursday and 'The Making of Class of the Titans' Screencaps at 'Brad's Corner'.

It's that time of the week again for Incidental Thursday, and director Brad Goodchild has posted nine more background character designs to his blog. Check them out here and here.

On Wednesday, Mr. Goodchild also announced that on Friday, he would put up screencaps from a CityTV 'Razor 696' special called 'The Making of Class of the Titans', which features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with cast and crew members. Instead, the screencaps have been posted today -- in order, you can view them here, here, here, here, and finally here. Please direct comments to the first entry that we've linked to.

According to the director, the special will air on Wednesday April 4, 2007 at 10:00AM. We're currently doing research on which versions of CityTV this applies to, so please keep an eye out for a entry in the near future with additional details.

Titan Wing Foyer Lineart and 'Breath Taking Beauty' Background Key at 'Brad's Corner'.

Starting with the non-spoiler -- director Brad Goodchild has posted an addition piece of lineart to his blog after being asked a question by fan Fire-Rose, so check-out the lineart for the Titan Wing Foyer.

The same entry also outlines what kinds of questions about the show you can and cannot ask Mr. Goodchild and why, as well as calls for where all of the American fans are coming from and more fanart submissions.

THE REST OF THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Mr. Goodchild has also posted a new Season Two background key painted by background colourist Michael Hitchcox from the episode titled Breath Taking Beauty (more information here). The image is of a road leading into a new location known as Gizaville, which is stuck in time and is the new home of the Sphinx.

The name is obviously a reference to Giza in Egypt, site of the Pyramids of Giza and the giant monument of the Great Sphinx. Please note, however, that the Egyptian and Greek versions of the monster are somewhat different despite the clever reference -- the Egyptian Sphinx has the head of a man and no wings, and its Greek counterpart (the most famous being the Theban Sphinx that Oedipus defeated) is half-woman and has wings.

'Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself' Background Keys at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Director Brad Goodchild has posted a special Background Tuesday feature for his blog this week -- instead of Season One material, there are ten full-colour background keys by background colourist Michael Hitchcox from the Season Two episode titled Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself, which is more commonly known as the werewolf episode.

All of the images, posted here and here, are of new locations, including a bouzouki (a type of musical instrument) kiosk in a Greek village, various levels of a parkade in New Olympia, and the interiors and exteriors of a Greek museum.

'Class of the Titans' Featured Again on John Nevarez's Blog.

EVEN THOUGH THIS ISN'T A NEWS POST PER SE, PLEASE NOTE THAT ONE OF THE ENTRIES INCLUDED IN THIS ENTRY CONTAINS A SPOILER FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

John Nevarez, a story artist in the animation industry and a friend of 'Class of the Titans' director Brad Goodchild, has once again featured the Canadian cartoon on his blog.

Included this time are four previously posted images from Mr. Goodchild's blog, including the background key of Cronus' penthouse, a black-and-white production shot of Persephone from Episode 1.08: See You at the Crossroads, the recent new screenshot from Pandemonium, and pencil sketches of an older Pan/Phil/DJ Panic design by Season One lead character designer Kenny Park.

Mr. Goodchild's blog was also featured last August and January (2006), the latter of which was how we at the newsblog first found out about the director's blog in the first place.

First Season Two Screencap from 'Pandemonium' at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Director Brad Goodchild has posted a surprise image to his blog that should please most fans, particularly fans of Archie and Atlanta as a couple. Seen here is the first screencap (sort of) from Season Two, specifically the episode titled Pandemonium.

The screencap itself is from a particular stage of production in which the characters are not yet coloured (read the director's comments for more information on the technical details). It also features Archie and Pan squaring-off against each other while Atlanta attempts to intervene.

Nine More Designs Posted for Incidental Thursday at 'Brad's Corner'.

For this week's Incidental Thursday feature, director Brad Goodchild has posted an impressive total of nine character designs (too many for us to do a full run-through of anyway) to his blog. Check-out the first five here and the additional four here. As always, intelligent and respectful comments are welcome on both entries.

EXCLUSIVE: Update on the Future of 'See You at the Crossroads' and 'Bows and Eros' on Teletoon.

After Saturday's long-awaited Canadian premiere of Episode 1.18: Bows and Eros on the English version of Teletoon (website), a number of fans have noted concern about missing the episode and wonder as to when it will air again.

We recently contacted Teletoon audience relations co-ordinator Julie Benoit again to ask about future re-airings of the Valentine's Day special. At present, the answer is that Episode 1.18: Bows and Eros is NOT currently scheduled to re-air in the near future, at least not for the next few months. This does NOT mean it will never be shown again, so don't despair yet, though it does mean that it won't be part of the regular Season One re-run line-up.

We also asked another question about when the Hallowe'en special, Episode 1.08: See You at the Crossroads, which premiered on Teletoon in October 2006, would be shown again. The good news is that it will be re-aired on Saturday March 31, 2007 at 2:00PM ET/PT. There are currently no other scheduled re-airings of the episode after that date.

Many thanks again to Ms. Benoit for always providing great answers to our questions, and we hope this answers a few pressing questions for fans.

Archie's Ankle Brace Detail from 'The Deep End' at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS (SORT OF) CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

On Tuesday, director Brad Goodchild posted an extra surprise image at his blog. Seen here is a close-up detail of Archie's ankle brace as it appears in the Season Two episode titled The Deep End, which we currently do not have very much information about with regards to plot and character.

We're still running into some issues with updating the Season Two news summary, but we haven't forgotten about it and it will certainly be updated eventually.

Cronus-Themed Background Tuesday One Day Early at 'Brad's Corner'.

Director Brad Goodchild has posted this week's Background Tuesday images to this blog a whole day early. There are six full-colour background keys in total -- the skyscraper/penthouse exterior, interior, and underground lair ceiling can be seen here, while the lair's cage room, lounge, and Cronus' ancient stronghold are posted here.

On a different note -- a number of fans have expressed concern regarding missing Saturday's Canadian premiere of Episode 1.18: Bows and Eros on the English version of Teletoon and when it will air again. We are looking into this as soon as we have time to do so, and will definitely post any relevant information we can manage to get. Thanks.

New Season Two Background Key at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

As an extra surprise on Friday, director Brad Goodchild posted a new full-colour background key from Season Two to his blog. Seen here is Polyphemus' foundry chamber from the episode titled Polyphemus Returns (more information here).

With all of the new information since the last update, we will try to edit the Season Two news summary sometime this weekend. When we do, we will post an announcement here at the newsblog. From now on, it will probably be much easier for us to update once every two weeks or month and post an entry about it than to update after every single new piece of news is released.

REMINDER: 'Bows and Eros' Premieres and Season One Returns to Teletoon Tomorrow!

As we first reported all the way back in January along with a confirmation from one of the channel's audience relations co-ordinator, Episode 1.18: Bows and Eros will finally make its Canadian premiere on the English version of Teletoon. The Valentine's Day special will air tomorrow -- Saturday March 17, 2007 -- at 2:00PM ET/PT. No word yet on whether the episode will become part of the regular re-run cycle.

Tomorrow's premiere also marks the return of Season One re-runs to the channel. Starting tomorrow, old 'Class of the Titans' episodes will air on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) at 2:00PM ET/PT. Right now, according to the schedule on Teletoon's website, these air-times will probably last up until April 30, 2007 at the very least. We don't know what the schedule will be like after that, as it probably hasn't been set yet.

Enjoy the episode tomorrow if you haven't seen it already!

Incidental Thursday and 'Bows and Eros' Character Designs at 'Brad's Corner'.

First, director Brad Goodchild has posted the second Incidental Thursdays feature to his blog. Seen here are five more background character designs of a pig-tailed girl, a guy with a hoodie and headphones, a teenage girl with hoop earrings, an athletic girl with a volleyball, and a guy with purple hair and a polo shirt.

Second, Mr. Goodchild has posted an extra entry with four images of character designs for Eros and Psyche as they appear in Episode 1.18: Bows and Eros, which will be premiering in Canada this Saturday (we'll post a reminder about it tomorrow). Check-out the entry itself for the director's comments on where the inspiration for the designs came from.

Third, happy Ides of March. Yes, it's more of a Roman historical reference to the assassination of Julius Caesar, but as the director pointed-out, it's classical all the same.

New Season Two Background Key at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

In addition to the new Background Tuesdays feature, director Brad Goodchild posted a new Season Two image to his blog. Seen here is a new full-colour background key of Morpheus' Realm from the Season Two episode titled Dream Weaver. As the title suggests, Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams, as well as the son of Nyx (Night) and Sleep (Hypnos, whose cave appears in the new episode Forget Me Not, though we don't know if the show makes the connection or not).

We're currently extremely busy offline and haven't had the chance to update the Season Two news summary yet, but when we do, we will make an announcement here on the newsblog because of how much new material we will have to add.

Background Tuesdays Kick-Off at 'Brad's Corner'.

As hinted at earlier, director Brad Goodchild has posted the first of the Background Tuesdays feature to his blog today in addition to yesterday's teaser.

The teaser contains the full-colour design for the Oracle's newstand, and the main feature itself has four Season One background keys by Season One background colourists Geoff Manson and Michael Hitchcox, the latter of whom is also the Season Two lead painter -- an aerial view of New Olympia's skyscrapers, the movie theatre, a dug-up road, and the rubble from the collapsed underground tunnels.

Teletoon's Website Adds Character Profiles to the 'Class of the Titans' Page.

Teletoon's has finally added information for each of the seven main characters on the website's 'Class of the Titans' page.

Each character's blurb is directly from the Original Series Bible (see more information here; you will have to check the July 2006 archives at the director's blog to find the actual pages) that was used to pitch the show -- that also means that some of the information on those profiles may no longer be true for the characters, so take the stuff with a grain of salt.

Thanks to fan crazyfrog on FicWad for the heads-up.

REMINDER: Télétoon's 'Classe des Titans' Schedule Changes on Sunday and Tuesday.

This is a brief reminder, based on the original announcement, for fans who watch the French version of Teletoon, Télétoon (website). This Sunday March 11, 2007 will be the LAST day that Season One of 'Classe des Titans' will air at its currently daily time of 7:30PM.

There will be no airing of the show on Monday, and beginning on Tuesday March 13, 2007, re-runs will return and be shown every Tuesday (and no other day of the week) from then on at 8:00PM.

The information above only applies to the French version of Teletoon. The English one runs on a different schedule, and tomorrow, we will post a reminder about the upcoming schedule changes for it.

Creature Designs from 'Cronus' Keystroke' at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

As an end-of-the-week surprise, director Brad Goodchild has posted several new Season Two images to his blog. Check out the full-colour designs for the four Telkhines from the Season Two episode titled Cronus' Keystroke (more information here), as drawn by lead character designer Jeremy Tin based on Mr. Goodchild's ideas. In mythology, the Telkhines were a sort of dog-fish hybrid, which the show has acknowledged in their own unique versions.

The entry also has a reference to an image of the Telkhines' underwater lair. That was posted awhile ago, and if you missed it, it can be seen here.

The First of the Incidental Thursdays at 'Brad's Corner'.

Director Brad Goodchild posted the first of his blog's new Incidental Thursday feature today, beginning with five great background character designs done by Season One lead character designer Kenny Park.

In this first instalment, we have a boy in baggy winter clothes, a nerdy guy, the yellow-panted jogger who can often be seen walking in front of the Brownstone, the goth girl, and the girl with the blonde ponytail and green skirt.

In the same entry, Mr. Goodchild also notes that Incidental Thursdays will last for the next eight to ten weeks and that there may also be an accompanying Tuesday special feature, possibly of locations.

Final Set of Chess Pieces from 'The Game Plan' at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Director Brad Goodchild has finally finished posting all of the chess piece designs for the Season Two episode titled The Game Plan to his blog. Jay and Theresa as the White Bishops can be seen here, and Cronus as the Black King, which was posted earlier as a graphic for another entry, is accessible here.

Please check previous entries for links to the entries containing the other chess pieces. In due time, we will update the Season Two news summary with all of the links in one place so that you can view each of the designs easily.

Teletoon's 'Class of the Titans' Page is Back Online.

Since 'Class of the Titans' went off-air in December 2006, Teletoon removed the link to the show's page on their website's show listings, though the page itself remained accessible via a very roundabout way. A quick check today, however, revealed that the show is once again listed under the listings if you click on TV on the menu.

The page has also been updated slightly along with the site's overall new layout. The new air-times of weekends at 2:00PM (beginning on March 17, 2007) is noted. Unfortunately, each characters' individual trailers, the opening theme, and the clip from Episode 1.04: Man's Worst Enemy have been removed. Under Extras, only links to the maze and chess games remain. The characters' portraits also have a new background.

More White and Black Chess Pieces from 'The Game Plan' at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Director Brad Goodchild has posted even more of the chess-themed character designs from the Season Two episode titled The Game Plan to his blog, with a Jay and Theresa as the White Bishops to appear on Thursday.

On the black side of the board, there's an axe-wielding half-man half-insect beast as the Bishop, female monster with a cobra-like head as the Queen, and a troll-like creature as the Pawn. For the white pieces, Neil is the Queen, Zeus is the King, and a currently unidentified soldier is the Pawn.

Please check previous entries here at the newsblog and Mr. Goodchild's blog for the other chess piece designs that have been posted for far for both The Game Plan and Cronus 2.0 -- there's a different set for each and they should not be confused with one another.

Season Two Costume Designs and Incidental Thursdays Announcement at 'Brad's Corner'.

On the non-spoiler side of things first (though be warned, as the entry itself contains Season Two spoilers), director Brad Goodchild has announced on his blog that on Thursdays, he will now have an Incidental Thursdays feature, probably in place of the now-finished Screencap Fridays. Each Thursday entry will contain around five character designs for some of the nameless background characters you often see wandering around during scenes.

THE REST OF THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Mr. Goodchild has also posted a fantastic image of the seven heroes in updated stealth gear for Season Two, costumes which bear some similarity to Odie's original outfit from Episode 1.20: Many Happy Returns. The stealth uniforms will be used on covert missions, specially in the Season Two episodes titled Polyphemus Returns and Bad Blood.

As we mention regularly, we'll try to get this and a lot of other past information up on the Season Two news summary soon, but please bear with us as we deal with some coding issues and offline time-constraints. Thank you.

Black Chess Pieces from 'The Game Plan' at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER CLICK ON ANY LINKS NOR READ ANY FURTHER. THANK YOU.

Director Brad Goodchild has posted a pair of black chess pieces to match Tuesday's white ones at his blog. It appears that the Black Rook is an evil chameleon of sorts while the Black Knight is a horned centaur.

Mr. Goodchild also confirmed, as we noted yesterday, that the black and white pieces above will appear in The Game Plan (ie. the Christmas episode) while the Cronus and Jay sets from earlier are from Cronus 2.0 as he mentioned in the corresponding entries.

For the pieces from The Game Plan, they will be used in a chess game between Zeus and Cronus. Please check the Season Two news summary to look-up the other plot and character details that have been revealed so far for that episode, and yes, we will try to get it updated this weekend.
