I liked this episode too but not one of the best episodes of Gravity Falls

8.5

By Ayranci, Mar 09, 2013

When I saw the promo of this episode, I thought It will be another perfect episode of this show but I was wrong. At least It's a great episode. Dipper and Mabel discover their seemingly cherubic new neighbor, 'Lil Gideon, happens to be the town's adored psychic. But when Dipper convinces Mabel to go on a date with Gideon to question his authenticity, she soon learns that his cuteness can fade all too quickly. This episode wasn't perfect as previous Gravity Falls episodes but I liked this episode too. Some scenes of this episode was kinda boring and I didn't like Stan in this episode because after Stan finds out that Mabel dates with Gideon and he uses their relationships for his business. I thought Grunkle Stan was the human version of Mr Krabs (from SpongeBob SquarePants) in this episode. I realized that Stan is the least good main character in this show. This episode has some funny moments too like Gideon's song and Mabel's new look. Gideon toys were so hilarious. This episode has some problems but It's a great episode but this episode is one of the least good episodes of this show. 8.5/10moreless

It's interesting so far. I'm think about how some of the characters are sometimes, and some of the dialogue.
