Oh man that episode was fantastic. Wasn't really feeling it until the little golf dudes showed up, but everything from then onwards was hilarious. Glad Pacifica has a little more depth now because she was the most one-note stereotype character by a long way.

It was cute that they explicitly called themselves out on it.

I loved the darkness of having a poor miner die pointlessly while looking at a little girl's drawing. And in the same episode, Dipper calls being rich cheating at life. I like both jokes separately, but I think they work even better being in the same episode.

Did they explain Soos not being a zombie anymore? Just switching without explanation is cool, but with this show, I feel like I missed something.

There's a good half of a scene or so at the end of Scary-oke where they're discussing this.

"Wait! There's a page in here about curing zombification. It's gonna take a lot of formaldehyde."
"Ooh, and cinnamon!"
"Come on, Soos, let's fix you up."

Gravity Falls Season 2: Northwests Don't Lose!

This episode was great. Dark as all anything and funny to boot.

The amount of VA cameos for this episode was ridiculous, and while I would like VAs to be spread around, at least we have Nathan Fillion as Pacifica's dad to still be here to lend a cameo here and there.

The Liliputtians (it IS spelled out better than voiced!) were great, especially the Miner scene (whoever said they earned the sticker was spot on), and Patton Oswalt and Jim Cummings were brilliant (the Cape Fear reference at the end and the golf BALLS song were hysterical). The amount of double entendres (Soos taking off his shirt and the BALLs in the song) was funny as well. The return of the mattress king (the lamest guy) and... Robbie??? brought a smile to my face.

This show is made with love and it shows it well with its nods to the fanbase (characters and relatable concepts) and its darkly funny humor and continuity. While I retract my six seasons and a movie statement, I sincerely have a gut feeling that Hirsch and crew know what to do to make this a hole in one from the initial hit of the ball to the hole.

I also would like to apologize for my excited first post in this thread. I'm a huge fan of animation and voice actors and I am also new to posting on this forum and I have not gained the level of critical-eyed observation that you all express in your posts (I'm a wide-eyed optimist like Soos and Mabel. I haven't gained the skepticism of Grunkle Stan or Dipper yet). However, I wish to gain that level in order to further my dream of putting out a show as good as this (therefore, the better it does, the better my future show will be in favor). (And no, I don't have kids, I was just saying that in the future, the internet would spoil this show to death.)

Thanks for having me on the forum as we go through this wild golf course of Gravity Falls Season 2!

How stupid is it that I want to know the history of the Lilliputt-ians? I have an idea in my head of what happened but I know its a question that'll never be addressed and it doesn't merit the time I've wasted thinking about it.

They split into separate societies based on their belief on which is the better end of the golf club to putt with.

For her it's just a silly cat fight and for him it's class warfare. It's been that way since season 1

His ability to unnecessarily escalate anything is kind of the driving force for many of the episode's plots. He and Mabel make a great comedy duo.

Maybe it's a 3x2 grid instead of a 2x3.

Maybe that message was referring to the six pieces from the Dipper shorts, and those are part of a 26 piece giant rear end puzzle.

Maybe some of them are upside down or mirrored or something.

Edit: Maybe there's six 2x2 pieces, and they have to go on a certain order after they've all been put together.

Fake Edit: Maybe you to fold it up and wear it as a silly hat.

Chunks of the disintegrating skull should extend into the picture below it, and the windmill doesn't have those. But there's also a pronounced difference in the background shade between the skull and the atom. Maybe it is a much bigger picture than 2x3, and the "six pieces" are volumes 1 through 6 of the journals?

Maybe these aren't the six pieces the hint is about. Maybe there's some completely difference pieces that need to be put together, or maybe there'll be more than 6 pieces introduced and some of them are fakes, designed to mislead you. Maybe they don't fit together based on the patterning. If I was going to make a hidden message that needs to be put together, I wouldn't write them all on the same piece of paper then cut the paper up like that, I'd obfuscate the process by writing them on separate bits of paper, or on one bit of paper out of order.

You said dis place was fun, but it ain't!
So I hope I don't sound like someone out of the Adventure Time thread but now that I've caught up on these three episodes all at once, together they seem to have a uniting theme of maturity. Stan is finally being (somewhat) more honest about what he knows, Mabel reconciled with Pacifica, and Dipper finally came clean to Wendy. I think maybe that's why the Thing monster was so messed up - the threats are growing alongside the main characters.

This show still has the best opening ever. I got so excited watching it again.
