Man, I hope you're right about Ford for the next episode. Although, I have a gnawing feeling that at least a good chunk of the episode will be about Dipper, Soos, and Wendy (man she's awesome) going after Mabel in the shooting star bubble. I can't wait to see what's in there! But perhaps Ford unfreezing- er, un-metaling at the end seems like a possibility. I kinda just want to see him Hulk out at Bill, but in a James-Bond-spy way. (Totally freaky off-topic: commercial for James Bond movie Spectre came on right when I typed that!) O_o :P

I get that. And I wanna be cautious too (because you can never tell with anything on this show). Although, the way I see his hatred with the Pines family over his arrest is that that's not his main hatred with them. That originally lies with both being rebuked by Mabel and with his foiled attempts to get the Shack so he could find the other journals. But all these sources of hatred point to something important: Gideon is a man (child) of situational hatred. Think about it:

1. He only really hated the Pines for getting him arrested while he was actually in jail. The moment he was freed when Weirdmageddon began, that grudge over the arrest seemed to go away because he was no longer in jail.

2. As for his hatred with the Pines over not getting the Shack, that stemmed from the desire to get all the journals and their accompanying power. But then he finally saw that Bill had released the power (and let him share in a little bit of it no less), and so his reasons for hating the Pines over not getting the Shack were no longer valid because the journals' power had been unleashed.

3. (Still not entirely ruling out him faking the scene, but) Gideon hated the Pines for getting in the way of Mabel, and that's mostly because he was selfish and couldn't listen to reason as to why Mabel didn't love him back. But then once he "had" Mabel (in the bubble), he didn't necessarily have to fight to get her anymore, and so that may have opened up his mind. He wasn't fighting for anything anymore   (because Mabel was in his control and he saw it as that he already won), he realized he had nothing to lose by hearing Dipper through and thus could listen to reason. And once he did that, there wasn't much reason to hate Dipper (or the Pines) anymore. He realized he had a real chance with Mabel this way.

(Sorry if that got repetitive; it's been a long day.) XD

And I saw something about him being "Deceased" soon too, and that just doesn't seem right. My money is on Mabel (or at least one of the Pines) not surviving because of that one end card. (By the way, don't forget Bill for talk of most popular villain! He's done some pretty nasty stuff with Weirdmageddon. ;P Haha!) XD

And it does sound similar! Not only does the comparison pinpoint Stan's semi-bad advice, but it shows he needs to be more careful in sharing his life experiences. No matter how "adult" Dipper tries to act, he's still an impressionable kid, and Stan needs to remember that. But still, it was the girls who were the jerks in the end.
