OK guys, here are my opinions on this season... and a lot of your guys' opinions. In this comment, every time I say Stan, I'm talking about Grunkle Stanford (if that is his name *sobs*).

I don't think the author is evil. Why would Stan be trying to bring him back? Maybe it's just me (I have this huge respect for the author), but the author was probably pushed into the portal. In the journal, there's a drawing of someone pushing another someone into the portal while yet another someone is watching. I think that Someone 1 is Bill Cipher, Someone 2 is the author, and Someone 3 is Stan. (Gosh, that part must be so confusing!)

I think Dipper still loves his family to a certain degree. When Stan told him not to push the button, Dip didn't push it (out of fear or obedience, I don't know). Dipper still loves Mabel, of course... hopefully. I would understand if he gave her a silent treatment or is still moderately mad at her for not listening to him, but he can't not love his sister! After all, her decision led him to the answer of the question he's been asking all this summer.

Dipper's anger after finding the journals was so adorable. His point of view (total anger after what Stan had kept from the twins) is, for me, more relatable than Mabel's or Soos's reaction to all of it. She still trusted Stan, and he was just focused on protecting the twins more than finding the answers. If I were there (which I'm not *weeps*), I would react like Dipper - angry.

Alex has to do something really out there to get Gideon to bond with the twins the way he made Pacifica, Robbie, and McGucket bond with the twins. Gideon just hates them. He can't become one of their almost-nearly-not-quite-kind-of-through-the-fandom love interests (no one wants to see MabelEon come back the way PacifiDip did), he can't gain their trust due to their giving him a love interest, and he most definitely won't go on an adventure with them.

However, there is no impossible in Gravity Falls.

Bill has to come back sometime soon. If the theory of the Wheel of Intrigue is true, then Bill most definitely will come back to fufill the promise that "everything that [they] care about will change."

Oh well. Anthyding can hadplen!
