"Oh Snap."  Ahh Tad was great.Soos' few moments were probably my favorite, " My life just flashed before my eyes!" and I really hope they keep the half exploded mayor head as a Gravity Falls thing. Just have it in the background every now and again, that would be a nice touch to honor the man who may or may not have started WWI.

I know they pulled the show from Amazon Season Pass, but does anyone know when they're going to release the new episode for individual purchase?

Looks like the same as before, it's available now on amazon, so I assume they'll continue to have it up the next morning. I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't expect the mind control at all. They gave that away in the title, but I was just expecting a campaign with regular hijinks. Also, seeing Bill's circle at the end reminded me, I think it had been assumed the glasses represented Stanford, but it's pretty safe to say that the six-fingered hand is Stanford now that we know he's the author. Are there any better theories whom the glasses represent now?

At this point, doesn't Gideon still believe that grunkle Stan is Stanford? Bud Gleeful does at least, he refers to him as Stanford several times over the episode. I'm inclined to think Stanford hasn't really been out and about around Gravity Falls yet and all the townspeople continue to assume that grunkle Stan is the one and only Stan Pines and thus Stanford.

The episode was weird when Stan's character is supposed to be a huckster conman. It seems like they bent his character to serve the premise (just compare it to Bottomless PIt).

Outside the inner circle of Wendy, Zoos and the other Pines, the only other beings that might know that the real Stanford exists are Old Man McGukkit and Bill Cipher.

I would think Bill is smart enough to know which Stan Gideon is talking about, but then of course he'd also be smart enough to use that to his advantage. So whatever deal Gideon is going to make, it's going to backfire on him. Was great to have some Gideon back.

Yes this bothered me the whole episode too, his life skill is manipulation. just seemed lazy to make that be his flaw, the "amerifreedom" speech was actually more in character for stan than dipper.

I also get the feeling that the realization of Ford's returning finally hit him. After the summer is over, he will have to leave Gravity Falls. He will be without a home, a job, or a family (since he faked his death), forced to start over as an old man. It's a last hurrah of acceptance before the end.

He obviously has a good enough relationship with his little brother to maybe get some help from him. It's not like his father disowning him matters once the old man's dead.

I thought this was a fantastic episode, but I thought the Simpsons-style "and now, back to the status quo!" ending was a bit unnecessary maybe. It would have been cool to see Stan as mayor, and I felt until then like the episode could have actually bucked the cliche and gone through with it.

Reality is stranger than fiction.quote:Never has reality made satire obsolete quite so spectacularly as what we see in “The Stanchurian Candidate.” This is a fine episode, but the funniest joke may be the one at the episode’s (and, um, the nation’s) expense, in that the central premise is that a brash, huckstering loudmouth launches a self-aggrandizing political campaign in which he says whatever crude, terrible things pop into his head … and that goes over so much worse with the lunatics of Gravity Falls than it does when Donald Trump pulls that exact same crap in real life. I mean, say what you will about Stan’s plan to stimulate the economy by invading nearby towns, but it’s no more incoherent or absurd than whatever the hell it is Trump says he’s going to do to Mexico.

Well I thought of Donald Trump, who is a similar situation to stan in this (shyster runs for office, speaks his mind instead of using any people skills and says stupid poo poo) buuuuut remembering how long episodes get delayed + time needed to get them animated, the episode must have been written way before Trump even annouced running.

Boy, Tad Strange. What a guy. After seeing how the necktie worked on Soos I was a bit worried that the episode was going to be about it seriously taxing Stan's straining weak old-man heart the more Mabel and Dipper used it. Glad to see it didn't go that way though.

It was a great episode and the only weak part was introducing Zoos as a surprise candidate. It didn't make sense because he didn't give the stump speech and didn't even throw his hat in the pile. Even with Gravity Falls' lenient electoral laws this would be too much. It was just a somewhat lazy way to get twins to the debate and put them backstage doing something. Also, is it just me or it sounded like DiMaggio wasn't available and someone else had to voice Manly Dan?
