Comrade Question posted:I need one of those time travel things so I can arrange for a Point and Click adventure based on this show, made by (good old) Lucas Arts, to be released right now. If you mean people like Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert, you could hope for something from Double Fine Productions. Wasn't there a Gravity Falls point-and-click adventure game on Disney's official website, stupidly inaccessible to non-American people?

If you're not familiar with Turkington's stand-up comedy character Neil Hamburger you should know that he's got quite the vulgar shtick, comprising primarily of him getting up on the stage, hacking and coughing a lot, insulting the audience, drinking from one of the multiple drinks he slowly collects in his arms as his routine progresses, and telling horrible jokes.  I legitimately had no idea he voiced Toby. He's the last person I'd expect to ever be on a vaguely popular kid's show. Friends Are Evil fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Aug 20, 2012 |

Yeah, he's not set up as a bad guy the way Gideon is. Gideon is straight up a bad guy. And I would say even Pacifica is more in the same vein as Robbie. He's really more of an obstacle for Dipper to overcome. In fact I wouldn't he surprised if he and Dipper have to work together to save Wendy for whatever reason.

Ahhhhhh THIS SHOW, YOU GUYS. I really can't think of anything that expresses my love for this show enough. It is so good. So, so good. Six seasons and a movie. My wife and I went back to those three episodes and it was non-stop "AHHHHHHHH THERE HE IS". It was DELIGHTFUL. And why was giant time baby destroying the future? WE NEED TO KNOW!

Babies are notoriously hard to understand. Anyway we don't know if he became or was, because timebaby and all that, chronology with time travellers can be a bitch. Also the number the kid on the Oregon trail typed on the calculator was 666. Pretty sure the calculator its the devils calculator.  This probably would of been important later on if it hadn't been carelessly lost in time

The Time Traveler's Pig was great, even if parts of it didn't make sense. Why would Pacifica want the pig anyway? Why couldn't Mabel have won it before Dipper threw the baseball? What good would Blendin's cloaking do if his big bald head was still visible? Why isn't he genetically engineered like everyone else from the future? Wasn't Oregon underwater during the cretaceous?

The problem with time travel is that it makes me go all quote: I know they didn't want to make a redux of Double Dipper, but shouldn't the mystery twins have run into the original timeline and time-displaced copies of themselves? When they go back to the previous episodes, dropping various items, they don't replace the Dippers and Mabels from back then, so why do they replace the Dippers and Mabels from the fair? And why didn't Dipper get the idea of simply getting the pig first (it takes what, two minutes) and then getting the stuffed animal? Or if he thinks Mabel would be too distracted to help with his plan, get the pig, come back in time with the pig, hide it somewhere, give Wendy the plush, and give Mabel the pig. The only real problem is that it would have made the story suffer for the character's sake; instead of vice-versa as appropriate.

Cat Mattress posted:The problem with time travel is that it makes me go all Yeah how time travel works in this makes no sense, but as you said it really didn't matter as it was all for the sake of just telling the story they wanted. The shows always pretty goofy with science/physics/reality in general, so the way time travel works making no sense, makes a lot of sense.

Maybe you'll never replace the version of you from the time you originally came from, or you never replace the you from the 'present'? That would also mean that the time travelers are, even from their own perspective, from the future. I'm really enjoying the show but I find the whole Dipper in love with Wendy gags painful to watch, the poor guy is just setting himself up for disappointment and I just find it more awkward and sad than actually funny. I never usually find that kinda thing funny though, and Dipper and Wendy goofing around together more than make up for it.

^^^ I find the Dipper being in love with Wendy stuff cute even though it's going to end in disappointment for him.Cat Mattress posted:The problem with time travel is that it makes me go all That can be explained easy enough I think. The three places they go where they were at, they were only there for a few seconds. It either doesn't matter when you're only there for that short of a time, or Dipper and Mabel were just displaced for that few seconds, so no one noticed. Either way I think they are in those locations for far too short a time for it to matter. As for the other one, Dipper wasn't focused on anything but winning over Wendy. Nothing else mattered to him. Plus how was he to know that she'd lose the pig by not doing everything as it played out?

The only real problem is that it would have made the story suffer for the character's sake; instead of vice-versa as appropriate. Well, then there would have been two versions of Waddles. Blendin probably would have fixed that when he resolved the paradoxes. And even if he hadn't, one of them would be stuck with Pacifica. I can't imagine Mabel would be happy with that outcome.

I like to think that if they tried winning Waddles earlier, Mabel would've just met the same frustrating fate over and over, seeing as the twins seem afflicted with a "time curse". Also, after Dipper discovers that Mabel really needs that pig, we basically cut to a resolution, so maybe an earlier draft tried fitting this issue in at that point. As is, the pacing at the end is great though, so I didn't find the open-endedness too distracting. Also I thought this was great, and it makes for some nice  after this thread's reflections on PJD:

God damnit stop sperging over how time travel works. It worked in the way it need to tell a good story and that's all that ever matters. On a more important note: near the end when Stan calls out the crowd on having empty pockets there's a brief shot of a walleyed yokel looking in said empty pocket. I haven't seen a gif of it but it seems like the most gifable thing!

I just started watching this show yesterday, and it is pretty much the biggest treat ever. Every character is hilarious to me, writing is pretty much all spot on (matrignomy was painful, though), and the plot has me hooked. Not to mention it has what has to be one of my favorite openings to any show! I do hope we get some more Mabel-centric episodes though, since Dippers been getting a lot of the spotlight for the first season (even if The Hand That Rocks the Mabel was my favorite episode so far).

So, I'm loving this show, and I've watched several episodes already. Does anybody know where I can legally watch the latest few episodes, besides cable? I'd gladly pay for an iTunes Season Pass or something, but I've heard horror stories about that. Disney's site has episodes that are a few weeks old, so I'll gladly wait if I can't find any resources about it.

I've had iTunes season passes for stuf in the past and have only had one minor complaint that was more the fault of the TV station than iTunes. I bought one for this show just recently, and it works fine. You don't get the episodes a week early like you do with On Demand, apparently, but you get them.
