Lazy Tuesday, you are delivering in a BIG WAY!
Note that Not What He Seems takes place on a Saturday, and this episode seems to take place right on its heels. So what the heck happened to Sunday and Monday?
Dipper reading Journal 2
Interesting. After A Tale of Two Stans, it seems Dipper took possession of all 3 journals... I guess.
You guys just aren't smart enough to understand it.
Oh Dipper, I feel your pain dude. DDamD is the Gravity Falls of games.
Maybe I should start obsessing over Wendy again.
This quote has received a lot of focus, so let me clear the air: Dipper is simply bored. What he is saying is that even obsessing over Wendy was more fun than playing a board game with Gompers.
Soos was here. Aw man, I think I'm stuck.
This was written in the crawlspace under the Shack. I don't think Soos fell down the hole, though. I think he was just too fat to get out.
That's... going to leave a mark.
Is anyone else confused here? Ford said not 5 minutes before, "Don't let it taste human flesh!" And now it tasted human flesh.
Diggity Dungeons and All That
Yeah. You want to sell a game to nerds, you don't try to make it "cooler." Nerds have given up on that goal.
These things are outlawed in 9,000 dimensions.
We can deduce a couple things from this. First, that there are MULTIPLE infinity-sided dice. Second, Ford either went to 9,000 dimensions or heard about this law. Probably the second one, since he would have only had a little over 1 day in each dimension if he visited all 9,000. This also proves that other dimensions have lifeforms and laws, just like our dimension.
Also, it's interesting to note that some of the symbols on the die are also on Bill Cipher's Wheel.
Give him time! Hey-o!
See, Mabel here is desperately trying to get her brother back. Coming right off the heels of A Tale of Two Stans, the audience and Mabel are a bit wary of Dipper and Mabel's relationship being torn apart. I'll share my personal theory again here: Dipper and Mabel will start drifting apart, but eventually they will stop and say "We got stupid." Then they will have an awkward sibling hug and go back to being best friends. Ford and Stan, seeing this, will realize that they can restore their own bond as well.
Keyword
In the scene where Dipper and Ford are playing DDamD in the living room, behind Dipper you can see a piece of paper with the keyword RADMASTER.
I'll have you know that Ducktective has a big mystery element, and a lot of humor that goes over kids' heads!
Yup. Ducktective is the Gravity Falls of Gravity Falls TV shows. But we all knew that already.
Too many math/fantasy jokes to count, but here are my favorites:
I am Probabilitor, the greatest wizard in all mathology! Give or take an error of 0.4.
What? My butt isn't part of this particular equation!
Drat! How did you make it past my one guard?
I'm playing the controversial 1991-1992 edition!
There was some confusion over this one. I'd say they banned him in the '70s or '80s, then brought him back in '91-'92, then realized it was a bad idea and banned him again.
Papa needs a new pair of... twins!
I'm a little confused by this sentence. Since nobody made a fuss over it I'm going to assume it was referring to the two pairs of twins in the Pines family, Dipper and Mabel and Stan and Ford.
After Probabilitor disappears... Death muffins are delicious!
Ducktective
Like I said before, Ducktective is the Gravity Falls of Gravity Falls TV. Also notice that Ford was not watching with the family. But honestly, would YOU invite a friend to watch Gravity Falls if the episode playing was Not What He Seems?
Infinity die gets locked up
Theories state that other priceless treasures will be locked up in the empty lockers here. My prediction: no.
Dipper, I don't want you to tell anyone about this. Not Stan, not even your sister.
Yeah. The rift is causing the rift between Dipper and Mabel, Mabel's eventually going to find out, etc. THIS IS TOO EASY, ALEX!
But I trust you with this secret.
Didn't Ford say in Journal 3 to "Trust no one?"
Cryptograms
The first one says "EXCELSI-WHATEVER!" As previously stated, the keyword is "RADMASTER."
The second one says "Fun and games are great distractions, but small things can have chain reactions." Again, it is decodable by using the A1Z26, to atbash, to Caesar cipher set 3 letters back. It feels like an ominous warning, but I couldn't figure out exactly what it meant.
