Pick posted:What's interesting is that we have multiple avenues for an apocalypse and it's not clear which one is the strongest contender. We have Time Baby, Bill, Stan's machine, and aliens as four foreshadowed options, at least. Bill seems like the obvious go-to, but he might be aiming to capitalize on an apocalypse that someone else is triggering. The way the season has been going I'd say the most likely scenario is Stan given the fact that he has all the journals (or copies at least) and talked about now being the time for him to enact his master plan. However, given the show's history I could totally see that being a red herring and that Bill or any of the other foreshadowed future villains will be responsible. Maybe Bill trying to stop Stan before he can finish his plan?

I just really wanna see what Bill's overall plan is, because he's a really good oddly scary villain.

Bill may not be scary to us grown-ups, but I feel certain that at least some adults in 2030 will be saying to each other, "Hey, remember that creepy floating-triangle guy from Gravity Falls? Man, that dude gave me nightmares."

Has anyone looked closer at the fact that "STAN IS NOT WHAT HE SEEMS" is pretty ambiguous? It could mean that he's not the jerk everyone thinks he is.

I think part of what MAKES Bill so scary to the fanbase IS that he's so unpredictable and enigmatic. Just food for thought.

Not only did he give Gideon a full set of deer teeth as his first act on the show, but he first removed them from a nearby deer.  He's got that completely random, unpredictability that can be terrifying. Remember Bipper? In typing this post, I just realized, that deer has been around at least a couple episodes. Maybe he and the goat are behind all of this.

I understood we'll get aliens in the final episode. There's a Wile E. Coyote style cutout in a rock visible in Gideon Rises, and the mayor is "not long for this world" according to the book, which everyone assumes means he's dying but could just mean he'll go to his home planet soon.

I think that the mayor is undead/kept alive through supernatural means.

I would like everyone's opinion on an interrogation I have : who was the Northwest who ordered the mansion built? I guess the simplest answer is "Nathanael Northwest", the (fake) founder of the town, but that guy was described as being incredibly stupid and lacking any sort of common sense, so I've always had trouble believing that he was the one who started the Northwest's family on their path to wealth (I thought that maybe a son or grand-son of his is the one who helped make up the myth about the Northwest). Am I thinking too much?

The ghost said that it was 105 years ago since he cursed them, so I think it's either the son or grandson of the fake founder of Gravity Falls.

Recently watched Blendin's game. I know this is going to sound weird, but I kind of identify with Soos. Not just because of the whole goon thing, but like his childhood and how he's latino but the culture isn't really a direct part of his identity. It's kind of nice to see someone like me in way beyond "goonlord".

You realize that a hundred and five years before 2012 is 1907, right? That's at least two generations after Nathaniel Northwest would've been established at the latest. Edit: Unless the person above you made a typo and it's supposed to be 150 years, but even then that's a gap of 20 years between Quinton getting elected and the mansion being built, which would be more than enough time for Northwest's son to take over.

Okay, I see where you're coming from. To be fair, it could still be his son that built the mansion, since we don't know how old Nathaniel was when he was made mayor. That'd definitely be a question to try and ask Hirsch on Twitter or something, though.

X_Toad posted:The person above me made a typo, yes, sorry I should have pointed this out. However, I think you misunderstood my math : Quentin Trembley, America's silliest president and certifiably insane founder of Gravity Falls, presumably found the valley and built the town around the 1840', when he was kicked out of office. In the present day, the Gravity Falls residents believe that their town was founded in 1863 by Nathaniel Northwest, which coincides with the year when the later was elected as a patsy into the mayoral position. Which means that Nathaniel Northwest, the village idiot who only spoke in a series of grunts and managed to kill himself by choking on a giant piece of bark because of his life-long dream of eating an entire oak, is indeed the guy who had that mansion built. It doesn't seem to add up! Maybe he directed that the manor be built with a series of grunts and he encouraged them to log the entire forest for lumber because he secretly intended to eat one of the fallen trees. No, but realistically, pioneers had kids pretty young back then - Nathaniel might still have been alive back then but could have had an adult son who ordered the manor built.

Teaser for the next episode, "Not What He Seems": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO-Ms1RHllU The corkboard in the background has some bits and pieces that could support Stanford/Stanley. Specifically, the "NO MATCH FOUND" for the fingerprints makes me think that Stanford actually IS Stanley, and the real Stanford was the traveling researcher who was sucked through the portal. His twin brother became the new Stanford to cover up the disappearance while he searched for the journals and tried to get the real Stanford back. edit: Here's a good catch from 4chan that backs up the previous paragraph: http://41.media.tumblr.com/40be66142561a4657a75b1f356afbc1c/tumblr_nk5hrw3UlK1rvlxxwo5_1280.png pksage fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Feb 23, 2015 |

I thought pretty much everyone accepted the Stanford/Stanley thing. That short clip in Time Traveler's Pig showed us a young Stan with a cleft chin. That's one of those dominant/recessive gene things. In other words it was a different Stan from our grunkle. Also there's the glasses that he was wearing and the same glasses were again found in Carpet Diem, where Grunkle Stan quickly grabs them and is later on showed holding them, looking mournful. Of course, it could all be a huge red herring and it turns out [deviladvocate]it wasn't a cleft chin, just a small scar he got from some slight accident and it then healed up. The glasses just remind of Stan how much pussy he used to score when he was younger or whatever. It still doesn't explain why Stan didn't wear those glasses in his memories in Dreamscaperers, but maybe they are his special pussy-scoring glasses and he can't use them anymore due to sinister reasons.[/deviladvocate]

Another useless observation about the latest episode : is it just me or did Marius actually have something on his shirt when Grenda pulled the trick? Like a big yellow stain, as if he had broken an egg on it?
