phane00 March 12, 2015 Share March 12, 2015 Looking at the Cipher Circle, after this latest episode has cleared up a few of the symbols in the circle. Firstly, each symbol represents a person, so we're looking for 10 different people. The Pine Tree - Dipper (hat) The Chomping Fish - Gruncle Stan (fes) The Star with the eye in the middle - Gideon (tent) 6 fingered hand - The Author (hand) Question Mark - Soos (shirt) Heart with slash - Robbie (hoodie) Shooting Star - Mabel (shirts) harder choices here: Glasses - McGucket (wore glasses before going Unseen) Bag of Ice - Wendy (every time she's on a mystery hunt, ice is involved) Horse/Llama - Pacifica (mainly because she's a Northwest, a rather important family to the town, and the only one not in the circle. Of course it could just as easily be Thompson, Grenda, or Susan.) Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9160-gravity-falls-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-919414
Tabbyclaw March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 The llama is almost definitely Pacifica; there's an identical one in one of the paintings she and Dipper find in the hidden room of her mansion. The glasses have been long suspected to refer to the mystery character who we now know is also the Author. I am down with McGuckett as a plausible 'next most likely.'

I think that Stan is the one who's been sending the postcards on his brother's behalf with messages that are short and quick.

It does explain why Stan-ley gets along better with Mabel than Dipper. Maybe Ford and Dipper would work well together... with Smart!Waddles. Sadly, it looks like the Ford character will just disappear below ground for future episodes. I want him to have more scenes with McGuckett, Wendy, and Soos. But the big thing, like DIpper, I NEED ANSWERS, Ford! I loved the Soos and Wendy phone call at the end credits. Poor Wendy is getting the story from the wrong person.

Poor Mabel looked so worried at the end of the episode. :( Poor Grunkle Stan as well.

One thing I find interesting is that I saw so much speculation that Mabel trusting Stan over Dipper was going to be the final "I can't trust anyone" straw that would push Dipper over to the dark side. But he's totally thrilled by how everything's played out so far, and it's Mabel who's suddenly afraid that maybe this was a bad idea.

They also nailed the 90s well with the whole "cooler! Hipper! More extreme!!" aspect. I remember those days. Ford and Dipper were adorable and I'm glad that Dipper has a fellow nerd to bond with, but it was a big no-no asking Dipper to keep a secret from Stan and Mabel. Where was Candy???? I'm glad Mabel seemed to recognize (at least by the look on her face) that she can be a bit too hardcore when it comes to teasing Dipper when he mentioned it. Maybe she'll try to tone it down a bit from now on. Who knows. I still love her though. Weird Al was great. I love Stan and Mabel. They're so alike! I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when he calls Mabel "sweetie." I loved the bit when Stan reassured Mabel that the ogre was magic/etc so he probably didn't actually die, but then agreed with Grenda to take it to their graves. Lol. And classic Stan cheating. That's certainly one way to win. Soos and his group :). I also found it interesting that they say "great uncle Ford" rather than Grunkle Ford. Fun episode overall.

Ford and Dipper are adorable too, and we've only seen one episode of them interacting together, so maybe I'll grow to love them more. I'm having fun reading people's thoughts on which twin they think will be the cause of the great rift occuring in their relationship.
