User blog:CaveJohnson/Society of the Blindeye Regarding the Author! *Bewarb Spoilers ahead!*

So I saw Society of the Blindeye! AND WHOOOAAAA!

Ok first off let me tell everyone, that if you haven't seen the episode, and wish to remain unspoiled, Then you definetily should not be reading this, I will be addressing many aspect's of the episode, my thoughts and theories.

Ok so as everyone who watched it is now aware,

MCGUCKET IS NOT THE AUTHOR!

I KNEW IT! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Ok the way this episode was executed was SO brilliant, they totally made me legimately believe McGucket might be the author despite revealing it so early in the episode.

Of course as it went on it became increasingly obvious they were trying to throw us off, it DID seem a little suspicious of them to reveal it at the beginning of the episode too.

So McGucket being the Author's 'assistant' makes a LOT of sense to me, he probably helped with the building of the 'portal' as well, though I doubt he designed it, In his little video McGucket also seems to officially confirm that the writer of the journals is one person. (I've always kinda suspected it was one person.) And as the Shifter said he was male.

The Society of the blindeye weren't quite as big a deal as I envisioned them to be, but it was pretty cool seeing regular Gravity Falls citicen's play the villains.

I am rather suprised Lazy Susan wasn't their leader, (I seriously kind of thought she was...)

I kind of envision the Society of the blindeye as more of a 'teaser' for the REAL society the Royal order of the Holy Mackeral. (Cause... wasn't that a confirmed thing?) Just as McGucket himself serves as a bit of a teaser to the real identity of the Author.

McGucket was BRILLIANT in this episode, I have never loved McGucket more than I do now, I hope he keeps those goggles too, They're FANTASTIC! and i'm really glad that Laptop got to play SOME role in this, leading them to McGucket.

Their leader 'Blind Ivan' was weird, but I kinda liked him even so, rather suprised their leader is a new character, but ehhh.

I really like how they took them down, wasn't expecting it to be that easy... but y'know it was pretty cool.

McGucket being the founder of the Blindeyes was a nice twist too.

And now that i'm done reviewing the episode, it's time for THEOOORIES!

The first one, regards the ending, Where Stan is seen operating the Universe Portal, as various junk get's sucked in.

As of now I am even more confused as to what the Portal actually does, McGucket seemed to imply it was something extremely dangerous, and that something bad happened because of it, even Stan replied it was 'getting stronger'

I thought it was just a portal that might have some bugs, that could potentially cause a nuclear explosion if used in the wrong way, but now it's almost like it IS a Superweapon just like Dipper said, but... it's obviously a portal...so I don't know at all. -_-

My theory however has to do with Stan's getting it, when it happened he seemed to stretch his hand out in a weird way almost as if... he had a sixth finger.

All this time i've been writing Stan out of my mind because he didn't know how to operate the portal, but with the Blindeyes introduced it could potentially be Stan, only problem with this is Stan didn't have six fingers when he was younger, or when he was a kid, BUT When Stan was a kid I think he had four, and the other scenes of him younger could have been sometime afterward, so the flashback's don't NECESSARILY contradict this theory.

Ok so here's a potential scenario,

Stan was writing the journals, with McGucket serving as his assistant, supplying him with the necessary parts to build the portal, building the bunker, as well as the Laptop.

Stan created the portal, which as McGucket said was meant to 'benefit mankind' in some way.

Something goes terribly wrong, McGucket feels horrible guilt as well as fear about it, and discover's a way to erase it from his memory, creating the Society of the blindeye.

Despite his previous failure, Stan tell's McGucket he plan's on using the Portal again, so McGucket erases Stan's memory of the codes to the portal.

McGucket takes Journal 2 and 3, and hides them, writing in them the words Dipper first read.

While I like this paticular idea and wouldn't be disappointed if it happened, I still kind of hope it isn't Stan, as it still would be kind of obvious.

However just because I don't want it to be Grunkle Stan doesn't mean I don't want it to be a Stan! What if the Author was the character Stanley? In which so many have theorized about for so long?

Ok another potential scenario.

Stanley and Stanford studied Gravity Falls together, Stanford kind of serving as his 'sidekick' much like Mabel serves Dipper, and McGucket serving as a 'third wheel'

Stanley creates the portal with the help of McGucket, and same deal something goes terribly wrong.

Afterward Stanley vows never to open the portal again, Stanford beg's him to re-consider, (Because it would benefit mankind in someway) Stanley refuses and runs away hiding Journal number 2 and 3, (And maybe 1... or maybe he dropped it.)

Stanford who had 1, continued trying to open the portal after all these years

Of course one could also say Stanley was sucked in, Stanford is trying to find him, and that McGucket was still the one who hid the Journals.

However I would like to bring up again, that Mr. Poolcheck (As previously stated in my other blog) Is still a fare possibility.

So let's look at ANOTHER scenario.

Mr. Poolcheck was studying Gravity Falls with the help of Old Man McGucket.

They lived in the Mystery Shack, sometime before Stan, (McGucket lived in Stanley's room, thus the carpet.)

Mr. Poolcheck invents the portal with McGucket's help, as said before something goes terribly wrong, leaving McGucket to feel horrible guilt about it.

McGucket founds the Blindeyes, erases Poolcheck's memory, (Just like he did himself, thus why Poolcheck's insane, and possibly who he was, I mean come on... Poolcheck DOES sound like a nick name)

Poolcheck ends up working at the pool, and eventually losing his hand to a pool filter.

And yes I know Poolcheck is a minor character...

But so were the people in the Blindeyes!

Anyone so...comment and tell me what you think is the most likely of my three theories, and if you believe any of them.

Thanks for reading!
