User blog:ThePK/My Review of Gideon Rises

Hate to break all your hearts, I did not find Gideon Rises very epic. I felt like I waited and waited for the action to begin and it didn't, not until the episode was 5/8 over. Sorry.

The beginning of the episode seems dominated by serious discussion about how to stop Gideon. Sadly Mabel lacked silliness and Dipper lacked the normal solutions he has. Then the plot with the gnomes seems shallow and a bit undeveloped for the likes of Gravity Falls.

Finally when action did happen it seemed forced and, dare I say it, predictable. The best part was the end, which in fact I was waiting for from the beginning.

You all seem caught up in the big secrets revealed and how "epic" it seemed to make the episode. But truly, very little of what we didnt know or what we didnt strongly suspect was revealed.

Anyways, I am OPEN to judgement and WILLING to change my mind. But as of now this is what I believe.
