** Dipper's monologue at the end is pretty short. Having it randomly switch narration would distract from the message, honestly.
** Dipper is slightly more of the protagonist than Mabel. There are significantly more episodes told primarily from Dipper's perspective as opposed to Mabel. He's the one who initiates the plot by discovering Journal 3 and exploring its contents. And - in this three-part finale - when the twins are experiencing contrasting perspectives, who does the show focus on? Dipper. You're right in saying that Dipper and Mabel have nearly equal focus as the protagonist, but the show does typically prioritize Dipper's perspective (and that's not a bad thing; having a definitive central character is just how storytelling works).

* He did. The clip of Ford preparing the memory gun presumably actually happened concurrently with Bill first entering Stan's mind and discovering where he actually was. Bill was in shock for just a few seconds, and once that wore off he immediately tried to leave, but by then it was already too late for him.

** With the revelations in Journal Three, there's multiple things in the show that just don't make sense if you presume that Dipper's read the whole journal as we have it--for example he should already have known about the shapeshifter and his motives prior to going down. Perhaps the scrawled-out text was better obscured in-universe, or something similar.

** As a safeguard--there were notes in clear display in the observation room about the shapeshifter, as well as notes in the Journal. The shapeshifter had every reason to believe that Dipper and/or Wendy would already know there was one, and by mentioning it, he could mislead them.

* How do Mermando's gills work? It's heavily implied they're on either side of his face, because when Mabel grabs his face he complains about her covering his gills, and that he couldn't breathe. It seems, however, that he could breathe regardless of whether his gills were underwater or not, as long as part of him was submerged (e.g. all the time he's talking to Mabel). The problem comes in when he exclaims 'I can't breathe' as the water begins draining out of the cooler, although his lower half was still in water, implying that suddenly needed to have his head underwater to breathe.

** Dipper focuses on only one aspect of the situation, not hitting Wendy. There's several things he doesn't try. Protect Wendy's face from the ball. Catcher's mask. Jump in front of Wendy the second the ball leaves his hand so it hits him instead. He wins the stuffie AND gets "my hero" sympathy. Go win Waddles first then have Mabel help him. Delay Pacifica so Mabel still has time to help. Buy a snow cone and then take Wendy to the booth so HE can offer it to her for her eye. He's only taking one variable into account.

* Why doesn't Soos just replay the game? High score tables react one in three different ways when the game is reset. First, nothing can happen. This is the case with modern machines that retain high scores on recordable media or download them from an outside server. The warning on the button indicates this isn't the case for "Tumbleweed Terror." Second, the high score table can be erased and replaced with a "default" high score table with a preset selection of scores. This is what arcade cabinets generally do. But "Tumbleweed Terror" doesn't seem to replace the scores after they're wiped. Third, the high score table can be left blank, with "AAA" or blanks as the names and scores of 0. This seems to be what's happened. But if that's the case, all Soos has to do is play the game one more time, doing as well as he can. Whatever score he gets, even if it's bad, will still be the highest one the game remembers. A machine located in a tourist trap might see a lot of play, but is unlikely to get the kind of constant repeat business that would let players learn the machine; Soos's score, even if it's not as high as his previous one, might stand unbeaten for a LONG time.
** Of course, given that all but the last story in this episode seem to be made up, Soos may just have figured that a HeroicSacrifice made for a better story.
** Soos' motivation wasn't just to set the high score: it was to beat the high scores ''that were already there'', thus proving himself to be better than them. He ''could'' replay the game and top the now-empty high score table, but it wouldn't have the same meaning. Where's the fun in topping a leaderboard with only one name on it?

**It could also be by that point, Gideon got everything he wanted; a position of power in Gravity Falls, a group of tough and loyal bodyguards i.e. the prisoners, and “possession” of Mabel, only to find they weren’t as fulfilling as he thought. His time in prison may have also softened his selfish ego a bit given the genuine bond he formed with his fellow prisoners, and when they started questioning Gideon’s intentions, it was the final push he needed to start rethinking about what he truly wanted.

* So, Ford has an extremely sensitive, extremely dangerous, extremely fragile object which could unleash catastrophic damage if broken, and it is cracking. He has a secret laboratory, beneath a house that has had magical protection placed on it in order to ward off the specific enemy Ford is trying to protect said object from. Ford also has a planned mission that could be quite dangerous, involving a significant drop and the risk of being shot into outer space. Why on ''earth'' did Ford not find some safe in the Shack to keep the rift while finding the adhesive?

* Both the show and the fandom treat Wendy, Lee and Nate's reactions to the news that Tambry and Robbie were dating as overreactions and like they TookALevelInJerkass. In Lee's case, that's pretty much the case, and same with Wendy, although to a lesser degree. However, Nate had ''every right'' to be mad that Robbie, who up until that point had shown no interest in anyone other than Wendy, deciding to date the girl who Nate had explicitly told him he was planning to ask out, so why is Nate's infuriated reaction treated on par with Lee and Wendy's easily resolved teenage overreactions?
