These moments are obviously meticulously planned and take care to give a good showing to the characters who’re featured. The whole episode winds up feeling a little bit of an homage to the also-ran, up to and including Dipper including McGucket’s cast on his theory board (the going idea being that he’d had a sixth finger removed or it was under the cast) and jokingly referencing the beard bandages.Īs is often the case during the Big Reveal episodes, I find myself wanting to say IT WAS REAL GOOD and leave it at that.
Which was a real blow to a lot of people, given what a popular theory that was (you may recall the fake screenshot from a previous recap). The “Old Man McGucket wrote the journals?” line was included in some of the teaser footage (usually ever so slightly scrambled)….basically confirming that it was a red herring. Here’s a fun thing right off the bat: if you were watching and scrutinizing the previews that led up to new episodes (which was most of us), Disney XD basically ruined the conceit of the first half of this episode. The kids are able to break up the cult and help McGucket begin to restore his lost memories, thus bringing them one step closer to solving the town’s mysteries. As it turns out, Fiddleford McGucket was actually an ASSISTANT to the Author, and created both the memory gun and the Society after being unable to cope with the town’s weirdness. Unfortunately, McGucket himself isn’t sure, since his memory was erased by the mysterious Society of the Blind Eye.
After seeing a label for McGucket Labs on the ruined laptop, Dipper suspects that Old Man McGucket might actually be the Author.
