Gravity Falls had a horrible schedule, something like three months between an episode? At least with SU, we either get one episode a week for a few weeks, or a Stevenbomb for a week or two. If it was just one episode a month, I'd probably lose interest.

At least Disney loved Gravity Falls enough to beg Hirsch to cave and allow it to be renewed. That was why the schedule was so bad.

So, are there any other Beach City residents who still need to get a little light shined on them?

Maybe more stuff for the Frymans and the Pizzas. Like, I wanna see more about Kofi and Nanufua.

Maybe that Suitcase Sam guy too?

I'd like to learn more about Jenny, or maybe see a new resident get introduced.

What I really want though, is more Crystal Gem focused episodes. I'm not always fond of human based ones.

We get more of those by default...

While a focused few about the BC residentuals.

I think the BC human episodes are important. Usually the Muggles are there only as victims or scenery, but here they have lives and interests separate from Steven. It think we've had a pretty good ratio of Gem to human episodes so far.

We don't know anything about Jane I guess, besides that she was dating Ronaldo. And that she works at the movie theater.

I’ve also never watched Gravity Falls (apart from bits of an episode out of the corner of my eye showing on a TV monitor while I was having pizza with friends). And I kind of fell off the AT train when they decided that Lemongrab was a character that needed to be brought back over and over again.

I'd like more episodes where the humans the the Gems interact in a major way. Peridot is far more interested in human culture than any of the others, even arguably Amethyst, so she's conducive to that sort of thing, but I'd like to see some with the others as well.

In general, I like the idea that Steven might cause the Gems and their human neighbors to start to connect and bond in ways that Rose never could.

I'd kept hearing about how good Gravity Falls was, but I also heard about how terribly long the hiatuses were, so I swore to myself that I'd watch it once the show finished airing. Well, the show finally wrapped up and I marathoned the whole thing this spring. A quality show I must say.

Well, I missed a lot of discussion. I swear, I'll refresh it every five minutes and see nothing, but I leave for a couple hours and there's half a dozen new pages.

I remember actually catching the pilot when it first aired, and thought it was great. The fact that it was directed by GenndyTartakovsky immediately made me think the show had potential. The visuals of every episode were amazing. I basically just watched reruns on and off until Season 2, and I just caught whatever I missed online. One episode I really remember liking was "Alone Together", for exploring the idea of two kids Sharing a Body, not just in a non-comedic way, but from a perspective I never thought of before.

I only started regularly watching after the Week of Sardonyx started, because I didn't want this to end up like Adventure Time, where I miss a ton of episodes and get put off of catching up. And it wasn't until that week ("Keystone Motel" in particular) that I thought that the show was one of the best animated shows on television.

Lemongrab is barely on AT anymore after the Lemonhope episode. Like, he got one focus episode, The Mountain, and that one, while divisive, was at least commended for rescuing his character and making him complete his development. After that, he's only cameoed once as a gag dating Lumpy Space Princess.

Meh, I still like AT, and I'd even argue that its most recent season has been excellent. I do hope that they actually wrap things up soon and give the show a proper conclusion.

Anyways, back on topic: Now that we're four seasons in, do any of you still prefer the pilot's designs for the main characters?

I like Amethyst's pilot design more than any of her normal ones, though the newest one comes close.

I also like Pearl's.

Personally I say that was the form they took in the 90's. Just like their late 80's forms from Greg's flashbacks and their 1800's outfits.

Oh really when?
