I'm surprised they got away with showing Dipper slicing Doppelwendy in the gut with an axe. I mean, it was a monster and the blood was green and all, but it still seems like attacking a (thing that appears to be) human with an axe is something censors would consider a tad too imitatable for a kids' show. I like it.

Also, special agent Nick Offerman (:neckbeard:) reaching for his gun.


Maybe they were going for radios.

I know it's probably discussed to death but what does moving it to XD mean? I don't have any frame of reference so I don't know if this has done for other popular things too or if it means Disney doesn't feel it belongs with its regular programming

Yeah that was ok, as was zombie soos and soos' "have fun sleeping tonight!" In the second episode, but that was kinda it

I just don't really give a gently caress about the larger mystery of gravity falls especially when it comes at the cost of character interaction, which is exactly what these episodes did

These episodes were almost painfully unfunny, so focused on the whole mystery aspect which isn't anywhere near as interesting as most people think it is

The mysteries work best as external metaphors for internal struggle for Mabel/dipper, and as pure episodic set pieces

This whole focus on serialization isn't doing the characters or the show any favors because it's a kid's show and quite frankly the writing by definition can't be as sophisticated as it aspires to be, especially when it comes at sacrificing the humor for it



It has begun

Man what a great episode. I'm so glad we've immediately put to bed the two subplots that were the most tiresome.

Big Henry was some hilariously dark poo poo.

Seriously I have to wonder who the bad guys are since they made a whole thing about Mabel compromising her integrity and exploiting the ball peoples. In the end the escape kind of taught them nothing except that rivalry is bad since they wound up turning the ball people into the monsters of the week.

It's you Mabel. You are the monster of the week

Good episode. One thing I'm confused about, even with Bill's backstabbing, doesn't he still owe Dipper his end of the bargain?

biggest complaint: Not enough Soos. The entire play was ripe for his wisecracking

Eh, Gidion probably doesn't make out with puppets. Which is weirder than being a mini evangelist for the supernatural.


Also, super weird, weird question, but what kind of building is The Mystery Shack? I want to do something with photoshop, and I'm having a hard time locking down something that looks similar to it. I tried cabin house, but nothing really looks like that. I got a few close ones with "Triangle house" but still no luck.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's a...shack?
