Gravity Falls

I can't say I'm surprised, but I can't say I like it either.

It's a huge shame that this amazing show is ending. It's one of the best I have ever seen, but hopefully Alex makes more cartoons after this.
 
It's not cancelled: they planned this season to be the last one going into it. Having seen many series (particularity sci-fi) get extended past their planned finales and needing to scramble to come up with new story arcs to replace everything they tied up all neat and tidily (only to get cancelled before they have a chance to properly end the new plots they had to improvise), I'm happy to hear that Gravity Falls gets to go out on its own terms.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure Alex Hirsch had said before that he had always planned to make the series only two or three seasons. Kinda wish we got a third season, but if he's made everything he's wanted to made, I'm glad he's not trying to extend the show's lifetime.
 
Oh shit, ending already?

I gotta catch the fuck up before it ends and Disney pulls all reruns and never releases DVDs like all the other good Disney Toons before it. And meanwhile we'll get 50 Best of Pickle and Peanut.

that wendip moment was a tug at the heartstrings, alex why ;_;

but yeah, good episode overall. mabeland really reminded me of cloud cuckoo land from the lego movie, it was a perfect summary of mabel's personality

also thoughts on the ending: stan's thankfully alive, I find it weird that robbie wasn't there, and PACIFICA'S BACK, LAST COURSE FOR THE DIPCIFICA SHIP MAKE IT HAPPEN PLS
Welp, one more episode left. This is going to be a painful December.
 
I liked the episode but it wasn't quite what I expected... hopefully the final answer will give us some answers.

Now for some theories I have!
Who or Why is there a force field not allowing Bill and his weirdness to expand? I think it was Stanley with the help of Celestabellebethabelle. She appeared in the shack with others at the end of the episode and Ford said Unicorn hair would make a force field to keep Bill out, in this case, it will keep Bill in. Stanley probably knew this because he made copies from the journals before and he's spent numerous times reading them back when he tried to save Ford.

The second theory of that is that the Wheel we have seen throughout the series might indicate who Bill needs to dispose of (just get rid of) in order to let his weirdness run free. He has taken out Ford, and Robbie, Gideon's whereabouts are unknown and the journals are gone. I know we don't exactly know what the symbols really indicate but that's what I think. Bill almost trapped Mabel, Dipper, Wendy and Soos but they escaped the trap.

Also the elementary school in the flashback was a location shown when Blendin arrived back in D&MvTF

I have a feeling he was supposed to make it three seasons but tensions with disney kept on growing and he had enough. The latter half of the second season seems really rushed and I would honestly be flabbergasted if this is how we really wanted it to pan out. Not saying the episodes are bad by any means, but the pacing is really bad, imo.
 
yeah i guess

season 1 was more or less ~~filler~~ episodes whereas season 2 was mostly just plot

but that gives it consistency within seasons, at least
