There is just too many secret symbols, messages and mysteries for me to keep up with haha. This show has me hooked and I feel like I don't even understand a fraction of the universe yet.

That whistling and the dress up. Supposedly, they gave the crowd Dipper hats...
loved that they catered to the kids like that. Really interesting about that tidbit about
Gideon
.
Are they playing the Orphan card?

One last thing. They cut the clip from the finale (nothing much, just the cold opening before the theme) from the recording. Disney put it up if you want. Not too spoilerish

Yeah, but I had hope. I mean, both Adventure Time and Regular Show made it to Blu ray. in Canada, Disney made BD sets of the last Avengers animated series, so why not this. It does have a huge adult following (looks at GF-GAF...)

Besides, don't they do BDs of every fucking Made for TV Disney movie?

Yep. At least there's iTunes.

But paying $60 for what should be a 30-35 dollar box set? Not encouraging piracy, but thankful for DVR...

Hell, I wouldn't have minded "volumes" akin to what they do for the MacFarlane serieses, but 20 bucks for 6 SD episodes? That's almost insultful...

Regular Show and Adventure Time also started like this. A bunch of random episode compilations and then finally blu-ray season sets. We'll just have to show Disney that there's a market out there for full season sets by buying this.

Yeah I don't like it either, I guess it's sorta like the same as importing from a different country. Yeah, it costs more, but at least you know you're getting quality.

Phineas and Ferb is Disney's biggest cartoon, and it's only gotten a meager few DVDs with random episodes on them. I know Povenmire's stated how much they're pushing for DVD releases to no avail.

so, I will. We are two days away from the finale, and I thought I'd try to pimp this out again:

MaverickHunterX said:
awesome, thanks guy

Anyways, I have a thing I wanna try. I was inspired by the e3 bingo threads in Gaming, and figured, hell, we can do the same, since everyone is speculating about the GF finale...

I have created a blank template here:

i64FLcwbyx9Fe.jpg


So, in my head at least, the game plays the exact same way as regular Bingo, except that you mark the blank spots with said predictions in the show! Need some ideas? Try these (over 100+ thoughts...)

(sorry about the quality; some panels came out better than others...)

NOTE: I have left the links as they are cause I am afraid of slowing the page down for mobile/tablet GAF)

Using your favorite editing program (MS Paint, Photoshop, etc.), simply copy and paste your favorite theories onto the blank spaces in any order you wish. It shouldn't take too long (took me less than a half hour to make mine:)

A few rules:

1. Don't see the idea/headcanon you want? No prob; feel free to add anything you don't see here, but I encourage you to post it so that others can use it as well.

2. Speaking of, there are a few spoilers out in the wild (e.g. the author of the books), so please, don't be a jerk and ruin things for others...

3. Feel free to change your card anytime you wish UNTIL the night of the finale (if it's on-demand, the deadline will be the night before at midnight...) Again, don't be a jerk and try to cheat (especially over something really petty...)

So, if you want, try it out (since we're bored waiting for the finale). If not, bitch at me enough, and I'll take it down...

Thanks for reading, and hope someone likes it...

Since things have changed in the last months, I want to make it clear, that yes, we can use info from Dreamscaperers to our advantage...

Good luck, everyone! See ya Friday night!

I gotta say the season finale was pretty much perfect. Wrapped everything up pretty nicely and it had a lot of laughs and even more heart.
Dipper bucking up and fighting Gideon really showed how much he's grown over the season. And when Mabel saved them with the grappling hook I cheered like a little girl at a concert.
That scene at the end though.
I wonder if that has anything to do with Grunkle Stan's apocalypse talk in the other episode. Maybe the books are a way to prevent the apocalypse. Or maybe he really just wants power.
Either way, we wont know until next season. Can't wait.


Covered my spoilers for you people in other time zones.

ok, so finished bingo card (not hotlinking due to spoilers)

http://i5.minus.com/ih3swoBL6ktC0.jpg

LOST MY ASS OFF!!!

Well, Season 1 is at an end...who'd would have thought GF would have a better season finale than Venture Brothers?

My notes:

1. Didn't think they would
lay the stereotypical lumberjack role on Wendy, but ok, then...
2. Poor
Waddles
...
3.
Stalker Robbie, huh?
Can't be good for the next season...
4.
Way to fuck Dipper over, Soos! Lucky that Wendy's oblivious like that...
5. Speaking of,
sadden, waving Wendy at the bus stop hugged at my heartstrings. We need more of this, than the "captain badass" persona...
6. Really surprised that they played
the damsel in distress angle with Mabel instead of red. Or even pull a Spiderman 1, making him choose between the two...
7. So,
bloody noses are okay on DC, but not Dipper kicking the shit out of Gideon?
8.
Grappling Hook!!!!
9. Actually thought that
Robbie was going to steal one of the books (since he's already mentioned as a villain for next season), but the Stan thing was awesome, too...figured he wasn't a complete idiot...
10. If anything, thought they would have wrapped up
the Wendy/Robbie/Dipper thing and drag out Stan's secret, but they did the exact opposite! Oh, well...

Special note: fuck you, Nintendo for NOT supporting this with TV Tag!!!
(still love ya, cause you finally brought back Earthbound…)

So, now, we wait...

When is Season 2 gonna air? Are we even gonna get a Season 2? I recall the creator saying it got one but with the ridiculous airing dates for this...

It was a fantastic finale!!! I loved the
triumphant return of Mabel's grappling hook and Dipper's courageous battle with Gideon. I liked that the revelation of what was behind Grunkle Stan's vending machine was followed by the mystery of that weird machine. And I also liked Mabel's box of sweaters and watching a desperate Robbie being ignored by Wendy.
It was a perfect way to end the season but now the excruciating wait for the new season begins...

Everything about the season finale was amazing. Especially the very end
with Stan having all three books to activate some anti-dooms day machine. Had a sneaking feeling he wasn't completely in the dark about everything.
Also manly Dipper and grappling hook Mabel are the best.

I just hope next season
the Wendy/Robbie/Dipper situation gets a definitive resolve; I don't like Wendy and Dipper should find a better girl.

That final episde was great, Also
That machine stan started up, at the end, i wonder what it does. Also I think he was the won who wrote all three books and has something to do with the monsters that appear in gravity falls( it could happen) him or old ManMcGucket/ Great grandfather Pines...just guessing here

I don't think he was the one who wrote the books, or else the he wouldn't have to find them to make the machine.

They've absolutely been greenlit for Season2, they've officially announced it a couple times. Alex has up to Season 3 planned out, too. I'm pretty sure he's been given the OK for that one but it hasn't been officially announced yet (too early).

Hm, that was disappointing honestly. It managed to feel both like they were cramming to much into it (three minutes dedicated to basically "lets get the gnomes!"-> "the gnomes didn't work!") while also feeling pretty small (the previous episode felt like it was far more important, whereas I never really got any sense of serious stakes from Gideon's plot)

The only really redeeming part of it to me was the last couple minutes, for, well, obvious reasons.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was intended to be Jesus but Disney felt nervous about both people reading it as the religious figure and people seeing it as a bad stereotype.

As for the episode, just wow! Love how everything comes full circle.
