This season is on fire. As mentioned, the Ave Maria scene had me absolutely losing my poo poo. When S2 episodes focus on comedy (pieces of Scary-oke and Into the Bunker, all of Golf War, maybe half of this episode), it is just nonstop amazing gags. Oh, Alex.  I think Dipper's sock puppet being adorably mad is also prime avatar material. edit: Cleaned up the OP a little bit and got everything as up-to-date as possible. pksage fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Sep 10, 2014 |

I busted out during the play when puppet Gabe had to go off to war. Did anyone else get a Rushmore vibe from that?

Whoops! I did, actually, and I really should have given the Wikipedia article a better read. Thanks for the catch.

This show is way too good for the garbage network it airs on and the absolutely horrendous, erratic and non-professional schedule that it forces the show to abide by. I am absolutely baffled by the decisions made by this network regarding when new episodes air of this show. It makes absolutely no sense. They air like three episodes in a week and then take a month off? And then schedule the remaining episodes on different days on a completely random and inconsistent schedule? I like this show a whole lot and have enjoyed introducing it to my niece whenever I've had to babysit her, but I am baffled by the fact that the Disney XD network makes it so that trying to keep up with and follow this show is a huge chore that takes a bunch of dedicated researching. It takes me legitimate research and effort to keep up with this show and its completely erratic and nonsensical airing of new episodes. How on eath do they expect children to keep up with it by themselves? bbf2 fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Sep 10, 2014 |

The modern kid just looks at what is on the DVR. Straight up got some Twin Peaks vibe out of Bill taking over Dipper's body. I was waiting for him to just smash his face into a mirror.

I think this was my favorite episode of the season so far. Bill is getting even more insane and scarier and I'm loving it. That perpetually screaming severed head and Bill's imitation of Dipper in three seconds to the future was some creepy poo poo for a "kids show".

Am I the only person who felt slightly uncomfortable with Gabe's voice? I mean, boys are voiced by adult men in Gravity Falls, but Gabe's voice was straight up that of a grown up male, not like Dipper's more high-pitched and childlike voice. E: hm, he's voiced by Jorma Taccone, a member of The Lonely Island, who doesn't seem to have much experience in voice acting. Paladinus fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Sep 10, 2014 |

proof of concept posted:If Bill crushed it before the countdown hit 0 then the drive wouldn't have been wiped. Bill only shows up to someone when they're asleep. Dipper was barely staying awake while he plugged away at password guessing. Then he closed his eyes for a moment (a bit longer than just a blink) and suddenly the countdown to data erasure began. That got Dipper's full attention (so he was no longer about to doze off) and THEN Bill appeared. So if Bill appeared, Dipper was already asleep at that point, and it seems likely that the countdown was just an illusion conjured to push Dipper into accepting the deal. Of course, THEN the laptop got smashed... but Soos can fix anything, including that laptop, which he had already just fixed.

After watching Fixin' it with Soos, I'm going to assume that the laptop didn't actually have those security features before. Soos just added them on because who doesn't put a password on their laptop? He didn't just fix it, he improved it.

I know this seems like a reaching theory, but maybe the reason why the Author is considered insane by the Shapeshifter back in Enter The Bunker is because he made some kind of deal with Bill and Bill hijacked his body similar to Dipper, which left the mind scrambled.

Did anyone else think maybe they would have relieved that Gabe's hands weren't going to be puppets, maybe they were the creatures controlling a "Gabe" puppet?

Is it just me or is it odd the way Bill delivered the whole "who would sacrifice everything they worked for just for their dumb sibling?" line? He was expecting Mabel to screw Dipper over like it was a foregone conclusion. I kind of like the "Stan is searching for his long lost brother" theory because there's a lot of clues in the show that support it. Was this line Bill referencing something that happened between Stan and a possible twin brother? Bill and Stan obviously have SOME kind of history as blatantly hinted at in Dreamscaperers, and if it involves some kind of quarrel between Stan and a possible sibling, it would make sense that Bill would just say something like that offhand.

I don't think a complicated theory is necessary for Bill's line to make sense. He's a supremely self-interested jerk who betrays confidences at the drop of a hat. I think he genuinely has no understanding of love. How could appealing to someone's selfishness not work? To Bill, that's all there is to people.

It's weird that Bill didn't even make a token gesture of fulfilling his half of the bargain with Dipper. Usually when demons make monkey's paw deals, the guy getting the short end of the stick still gets the thing he wanted (even if it turns to ashes in his mouth).

I'll be honest, when I saw Gabe, I thought he was one of the Several Timez Boyz, who had learned the magic of literacy and wanted to share it with children.

Yeah, it's another sign of his inhumanity/other-worldliness. I remember reading a thing about the Lovecraftian MiGo, and their alien logic making them incapable of intuitive leaps, and thus not understanding it. Bill is the same, in that he runs on selfishness, and tunnel vision perception (like his single eye) - meaning that he's good at understanding Gideon, but not at understanding the Pines family. They've done a great job of making him equally comic and creepy.
