Gravity Falls Season 2

It makes sense to keep the designs the same, it's in the same summer, and presumably a couple of days after the events of "Gideon Rises" since the shack was shown fixed (minus the s in shack) fixed in the end of the episode.

Character designs refer to how the characters are drawn. It has nothing to do with character development.

well ok then.
 
The first 2 episodes are available on Xfinity On Demand. I plan to watch them later today.
 
Both episodes were imo some of the best stuff the show has ever done. This season will be amazing.
 
Yup, these two episodes were pretty awesome, jam packed with great humor, nice character development and even a few ongoing subplots either getting resolved or those subplots leading to something else important in the story. I definitely would recommend both. I'm very hopeful that Season 2 of this show will either be just as excellent as Season 1 was or even better.

Also, I never knew Robert Ryan Cory did some of the character designs on this show until now looking at the end credits and he did a great job especially with the Shapeshifter's transformations, which also those parts had some pretty cool animation as well. He's been used very well on this show and I'm very happy for him.
 
I should've foreseen that they would play out the cliffhanger from Season 1 across Season 2, but, if I'm being totally and completely honest, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't learn a little more than we did. Well, actually, we didn't learn much of anything, except that the government also is interested in Gravity Falls and that the journal has other information written in invisible ink. Unless I missed something (and I admit there were a couple minutes there where I was only keeping half an eye on it because people always come and interrupt me during my shows @_@), it didn't seem to me that we gained that much more insight into what the conspiracy actually is. Hopefully, the upcoming episodes will answer that more in-depth.

I did enjoy the somewhat unexpected plot twist with Stan at the end as it makes me hold out a little hope that he isn't completely villainous. Ever since the end of season 1, I've been thinking to myself, "They can't just make him the ultimate bad guy of the series from now on, that just wouldn't make enough sense." So my thinking--my hope, at least--would be that Stan would continue to be half-protagonist, half-antagonist, and that the true antagonist, the head of the conspiracy, might be someone else, someone bigger... perhaps Bill or some other character that has yet to be introduced.

But if you ask me, I was a little disappointed, as I stated before, that the train of revelations, which was going very strongly at the beginning, seemed to end. I'll be candid here: everything between maybe the first eight minutes and the final five minutes, give or take--basically the middle portion of the episode--seemed like mainly filler that didn't move the plot much of anywhere.

BUT, based on what happens in future episodes, all of this could be wrong. I may have to watch the episode again, see the couple minutes or so that I missed, and reevaluate things. I always appreciate and understand episodes more the second time, even Wander episodes. So I'll give this one another look when I have the chance. But my emotions just got the better of me in this post because I'd been waiting 364 days (yeah, that's right, one shy of a year, THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR DAYS... "Gideon Rises" premiered on August 2, 2013, can you believe that?) and I was hoping for a few more answers.
 
The two episodes were fantastic, and almost worth the wait. Bunker in particular, but Scaryoke was solid too.

Just be glad you don't have to wait another 364 days to see the next episode. :sbgrin:
 
I watched the first two episodes as well and both of them were fantastic with lots of hilarious jokes. I liked Into the Bunker a bit more though. This season will definetly be amazing. Both of the episodes deserves 10/10.
 
364 days wow, they really want the cliffhangers. I'm surprised Stan has revealed his knowledge so soon. I won't say anything else in case anyone didn't see them. Well Bunker was the best. Those pictures at the end of the credits tho. Both I give a 10/10
 
really surprised about Stan revealed of knowledge of the town's secrets in Gravity Falls. Oh and other episode was also cool. I'll give it a 10.10 for both of them.
 
I love the closure that was in both episodes with Stan confessing his knowledge about the town and then the result with Dipper's crush on Wendy.

Don't know why that has to be a spoiler. :P

I have a feeling that I'm one of the few people actually watching these episodes as they premiere and not beforehand via the internet. It seems most of you folks are doing the latter. I'm not going to launch into that whole diatribe again but I'll simply make you aware of that fact in an effort to avoid spoilers.

Anyway, I was about to completely echo what Halibut just said. He took the words right out of my mouth. And, although as I watched I didn't know if Dipper would make the revelation, I said to myself, "Well, whenever he does, Wendy'll probably just be all, 'Well, duh, I knew that all along.'" And I was right.

I was yet again slightly disappointed by the lack of progress in solving the actual conspiracy. I can see now that this will likely be an arc that will play out throughout Season 2, perhaps with a few standalone episodes that have nothing to do with it (because I'm not seeing any connections this upcoming mini-golf episode would have to that plotline, though I could be wrong). I also thought when I saw the title "Into the Bunker" that this episode would be about exploring STAN'S hideout, mainly because I've heard it referred to as a "bunker" previously. But I suppose it's a little too early for that, and that's sensible enough. The time for that episode will come eventually.

There was one prediction I made that was way off the mark, though: When Dipper gave the shapeshifter-man-whatever-the-heck-it-was the journal, he had an evil look in his eye. It seems now that that's because he was actually the shapeshifter, and it turns out we still don't know who the author was. But before I had any time to think it through, a thought flicked through my mind when I saw that evil look: We've been led to think he's good. He's not. He's evil. He'll end up being the whole source of the conspiracy.

And of course, whenever we do found out who the author is, that could very well still be a workable theory; it would be a nice plot twist to implement. But that prediction's been shot down for now.

do you have any theory on rest of s2?

anyways, those drawings are pretty interesting.
 
I have a theory that everyone in Gravity Falls (not including Dipper, Mabel, Stan, McGucket, and Wendy) are robots built by old man McGucket.
