I'll be honest, I don't entirely understand where this leaves us.


I wonder if we'll be able to get other universe cameos as the series goes along (my money would go on Adventure Time since we know they have a way to access the Multiverse).

Also possible new title change: Gravity Falls Season 2: Coyotes are coming for our sweetbreads

I had just kind of wished he'd done the whole puppet thing, smashed up the laptop and then turned to spirit Dipper and said "Oh, and the password was XXXXXX." Like, he would have been fulfilling his part of the deal (giving Dipper the password) while still screwing him over.

Come to think of it they even could have used that to proceed the plot later on if Dipper ever finds another of the writer's computers. "Huh, maybe I should try that password Bill gave me, hey it worked."

Y'all are missing the point. Bill never actually made a deal with Dipper. He implied it the entire time, but ultimately the deal that was made was just "Bill gets a puppet".

There's no reason we should believe that Bill actually knew the password or that he is under any "obligation" to keep his deals.

I dunno I kinda figured he had already erased the entirety of his memories that existed prior to joining the Society of the Blindeye, kind of like that lady boss who regressed to a little girl in that one episode of Doctor Who (upon which point I stopped watching Doctor Who forever I swear).

You could maybe flip those guesses for the woodpecker guy and Blind Ivan. Woodpecker guy seems to be in for a life of regret since his marriage isn't going too well, and, if we extend the "things they're trying to forget" to events after the episode, Blind Ivan probably won't be treated well in society as a creepy-looking traveling banjo player who doesn't actually know how to play the banjo.

But again Bill could have jumped in his body if he was supposedly all powerful anyway, there were rules governing the deal even if his intentions were entirely evil.

It's something that's always been more to advertiser/network/parent pressure than any actual rules or regulations, and this generation seems a lot more relaxed on violence in cartoons; in Batman TAS they couldn't even show punches connecting with people or use real guns or use the word "die" or "kill" whereas now even the comedy-focused Batman: The Brave and the Bold had Scooby and Shaggy punching the Joker and an episode where The Joker kept killing Batman over and over.

It seems like in general people today are more focused on their identity politics being in cartoons rather than violence.


I was gonna say, McGuckett's son being antagonistic to his dad in episode 2 is a lot more tragic now that we know his dad regressed into a senile coot when he was still a kid :smith:

BTAS had real guns all the time. Heck the fat detective even carried a shotgun during the episoe centered around him.

Well, symbol swearing has gotten into cartoons before but I remember when saying something sucks was verboten because of the possible sexual connotations.

Hadn't thought of that. I kind of figured the memory eraser looked abstract enough to slide past but that's a good point.

wow that's awesome, I noticed that when I first saw that rick and morty episode but forgot about it since they never explained it and that show sometimes animates background stuff for flavor (like in the universe where humans are phones the human-phone mouths the beeps when its buttons are pressed). I love that they've had this planned out for so long.

Batman TAS had guns, punching and mentioned killing/death in like every episode. You're probably thinking about the 90's Spider-Man animated series which wasn't allowed to do anything remotely like that (which frustrated the creators to no end because it aired like half an hour later than BTAS on the same network).

Glory to Mankind.

This was a really unfunny and uninteresting episode and continues the serialized episode trend of building to a reveal then at the last second showing that reveal as a red herring that doesn't resolve anything

Again this season has been a disappointment whenever the show deals with the larger metanarrative since it's not funny and the serialized storytelling is quite frankly just bad
