I don't think Gideon will help the Pines, because he said he's "ready to make a deal" at the end of "Stanchurian Candidate." So I'm guessing he's with Bill, and he has a big role in his plan.

As for the thing about the time of the show, Bill mentions something about tikme stoping ion one of the promos. My hope/guess is that that's gonna have a side effect of putting off the end of summer for at least a while. Perhaps time will stay stopped for another season while Ford, Dipper, etc. have to travel through dimensions? Maybe that's why we haven't seen much of where Ford was for 30 years yet because they're saving it? Ahh! Now I've over-excited myself. :P
