Yeah, hooray for Disney, for being so original. :P 

But yeah, it is a great show. I'm always saying that [i]Gravity Falls[/i] is a show that thinks differently and more maturely than that of the majority of its Disney Channel contenders, which is why I strongly believe that [i]Gravity Falls[/i] is destined for greater things outside of the Disney Channel.

I'm finally all caught up on the new episodes of Season Two. They're all really good, and I'm ready for a new and exciting episode.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I guess it's a bit ironic, considering I'm a Brickfilmer, but I'm not very much into animation/cartoons and perhaps am a bit biased against "kids' cartoons".  After hearing about this show and finding a bunch of episodes on YouTube I kinda stumbled into watching it.  I've just finished watching the first season.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect...

Wow, I love this show.

It has a great balance of mystery, humour, and well-written characters; my favourites thus far would be Grunkle Stan and Bill Cipher.  I love how Stan is portrayed as being a dishonest scammer/con-man--it's not something I would have expected in a children's show.  The episodes are for the most part excellently written and make great use of foreshadowing.  There's a a surprising amount of detail and subtlety.  (I particularly like how Mabel's sweaters tend to reflect the theme of that episode.)  And, of course, a bunch of random lolwut humour which makes everything better.  There are also a surprising amount of references that I wouldn't expect the target audience (i.e. kids) would get, e.g. "Icelandic pop sensation BABBA", the "Sibling Brothers" book [spoiler]not to mention what I'm pretty sure is a reference to The Exorcist in "The Inconveniencing"... [to be fair I haven't seen the film so I wouldn't know for sure, so it could just be one of those things so ingrained in pop culture that even those who are unfamiliar with the source material would get it].[/spoiler]


My favourite episodes thus far would probably be "Dreamscaperers", "Tourist Trapped", "The Deep End", and "Summerween", but I would have to say that most all of the episodes are good.  However, I felt that "Irrational Treasure" and "Boyz Crazy" are pretty weak.  I find the events in those episodes feel a bit too over-the-top and outlandish even by the standards of the show, and that they seem to have no lasting consequences or impact, even though such events should really have had drastic consequences.  It's especially jarring since the other episodes interconnect well and the continuity and story arc is excellent.  (That said, I loved the flashback to Stan's youth in "Boyz Crazy"...)Still, these are minor complaints, and does little to detract.  

Also, that season ending with Stan.  Oh man.

I love this show, can't wait to see more.  Now I should probably go and actually decode all of the secret messages and stuff...]]></content>

This episode was one of the best.
[spoiler]Sooses past was a great touch. :yes: I acually thought that Blendin would turn out to be Sooses father. [/spoiler]

I hope that we will get a promo for The Love God soon.]]></content>

Now I feel sad for Old Man McGucket.

I agree.  Infact [spoiler]Grunkle Stan saying that they are just special effects made by an anti-social shutin and Soos saying "Those people are called animators"[/spoiler]is one of my favorite jokes of season two.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Haven't gotten around to that one, but I'm not too far behind ya. I watched the three-segment, Stan's story one, but I don't remember it. Modestly entertaining, but "Soos and the Real Girl" still holds the spot for the best episode of Season 2, thus far. It's delightfully morbid, darkly hilarious, and chillingly thrilling. Still makes me question if little kids should be watching this, and if the series really should be on the Disney Channel. Anywho, I'll have to see if "The Society of the Blind Eye" can take that position.]]></content>
