Every Gravity Falls Episode Ranked

One thing i never noticed until recently is that the reason why Stanley always knew Gideon was a fraud and never was a true mind reader, was because Gideon always referred to Stan as Stanford.

Fun fact: Alex Hirsch said they never initially had plans on making the Bill Cipher wheel a part of the show, but it became so popular among fans and theorists that he felt they had to include it in the show somehow, hence the zodiac not actually being used in the finale.

The ball hitting Wendy was dippers cannon event, it all makes sense now.

As a twin, A Tale of Two Stans is extremely personal to me. My twin and I fit into the roles of Stan and Ford and we both end up sobbing and hoping not to drift so far apart each time. My top episode.

Alex Hirsch confirmed that in Sock Opera, the laptop never actually had a timer. In reality, Dipper fell asleep without realizing it and Bill fabricated the timer in the dreamscape in order to manipulate him.

As someone who watched Not What he Seems the night it aired I can confirm that it was absolutely crazy. At that point, there was still no absolute confirmation that Stan had a brother so everyone was left guessing all the way up until the very end. The worst part was having to wait from March to June for the next episode.

I got into this show in my last year of high school, a couple months away from turning 18. And I gotta say this show was a GODSEND for helping me accept the end of my childhood. I was trying to grow up too fast like Dipper but also scared of being an adult like Mabel, and the shows conclusion of moving forward but staying true to who you are has always stuck with me. I'm grateful this show exists

Between Flapjack and Gideon, it's incredibly hard to believe that a large bearded man voices two high pitched, iconic child characters

The cultural impact this show left is undeniable and insurmountable. I'm so glad this gold mine of memes and emotions exists.

Something about this show…. I think it’s due to the fact that I was around the same age as dipper and Mabel. When the show finally ended I felt so emotional because it perfectly incapsulates the underlying dread of growing up and change. Now as I am in my final year of high school, I rewatched the show and realized how emotionally attached to this show I am.

I feel like Alex Hirsh added the Wendy Love Triangle because Disney forced him to, it would make sense, knowing Disney. Plus, it would explain why it was immediately scrapped in season two now that the creative team had more freedom due to how well the show was received.

You forgot one the smallest and most touching details of Weirdmaggedon Part 3: The actor who voices the Bus Driver is none other than Kyle MacLachlan, who played detective Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks. That show was clearly a major source for inspiration to Gravity Falls and other shows like it that came before, and it is not difficult to assume that Gravity Falls would simply not exist if it were not for Twin Peaks. So seeing Kyle being the one to bring the kids home is incredibly fitting, as in many ways he was the one that brought them there. Sidenote: Alex Hirsch wanted David Lynch, Twin Peaks creator to be Bill's voice actor, but he was not avaliable.

it’s nice that even the lowest rated episodes are still quite good. the show is reliably good and it’s nice that between the worse ones there is still top tier ones. The show is so bingeable and i think the lower rates episodes in between help.

Y'know what would've been better than Roadside Attraction? An episode dedicated to Mabel and Ford. Give the two some time together before Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future.

41:09 Yeah so I watched this episode blind when it aired, and I had been following the fandom for a while. Not only that but people had already predicted Ford’s existence prior to this episode, so when he was revealed I nearly had a heart attack. I still think that for the people who watched this and were involved in the fandom live, this was one of greatest reveals in television history.

24:20 that actually makes sense; their purpose was actually to HELP people, and the way they did that was erasing traumatic memories from people. Dipper and Mabel never acted traumatized by their experiences. Or maybe it's because they were from out of town, and therefore out of the Order's jurisdiction

What’s most terrifying about sock opera isn’t even in the episode In the journal Mabel finds a note from Bill revealing what his plans were after he destroyed the journal. That plan being throwing dipper’s body off the water tower. Even more chilling was Bill asking Mabel if she wanted to join dipper

To be honest I don't think Stan being able to regain his memories was completely unprecedented in the show itself. All McGucket had to do to start regaining his memories and sanity was watch his memories play out on a TV (and it naturally would've been harder to regain than Stan given how long his memories were lost), so I don't think there's any reason the photo album shouldn't have worked the same way.

For a LOT of the series, Alex Hirsch was working on it practically by himself. He had many months full of all-nighters-sometimes 2-3 nights straight. If Disney actually gave him the proper crew, time, and freedom, the show could've had episodes that were more fleshed out and less of a rushed ending. That being said, it's still my top fave.

There is a reason why the original plot behind the Mabel Bubble episode had Dipper straight up snap Dippy-Fresh’s a total of 180 degrees. It means even the creator himself hated Dippy-Fresh.
