Gravity Falls: Not What He Seems
March 10, 2015 6:34 AM - Season 2, Episode 11 - Subscribe
Gruncle Stan is arrested by the Feds, and Dipper and Mabel discover that EVERYTHING THEY THOUGHT THEY KNEW ABOUT HIM HAS BEEN A LIE. Meanwhile, the DOOMSDAY CLOCK revealed at the end of "Northwest Mansion Mystery" counts down to ZERO.
SO MANY HUGE REVEALS. SO MUCH DRAMA.

Mabel's "I am a god of destruction!" at the beginning (with the fireworks) may be one of my favorite Mabel moments ever. And that's saying a lot.

This is only halfway through the season. I'm amazed at how much is being clearly stated. Every time there was a big reveal I thought that was the end of the episode but there was MORE! This just means there's a whole back half of a season of even more things to come to light or get more complicated. As soon as I was aware of the 2 Stans theory I thought it made the most sense so I felt pretty vindicated, but even after that reveal it's like, what now?!
I hope in subsequent episodes we see Wendy running around town being competent and saving people from chaos. She's one of my favorites and her little cameo was great but I really want her to play a significant role.

Interview with Alex Hirsch: "I’m talking PowerPoint presentations, flow charts, timelines—this is probably the first time a Disney TV show has been analyzed like the Zapruder film."

I was kind of starting to loathe everyone in Gravity Falls, but this episode has me back, thank goodness. I loved GF so much, but I feel like we had a lot of sort of lame episodes in a row there, I'm very glad to get back to this sort of overaching story.

My favorite government agents are back, and wreaking havoc. Dipper and Mabel make shocking discoveries, and Grunkel Stan(?) has a family reunion. What more could you need?
I also loved Stan constantly saying (to paraphrase) "This time I actually didn't do it!" and it turns out that he did. Oh Stan.
