The foreshadowings in Gravity Falls are awesome. Like in Dreamscaperers, the swingset with one swing broken. It was brilliant and really great symbolism like literally could be taught in school. I'm also wondering about the extent of Bill's knowledge of the wheel; if we're correct, and the people who accompany the signs (Dipper to Pine Tree, Mabel to Shooting Star, etc.) will be the ones to defeat Bill, then why would Bill keep them around? It's clear that he knows who's who, he refers to Dipper, Mabel and Soos as Pine Tree, Shooting Star and Question Mark respectively, so it's possible that the wheel has some different purpose. And there's obviously some kind of supernatural fate-like force keeping Dipper and Mabel in Gravity Falls. No matter what, they can't leave, and if they do, they'll come right back. Like in Gideon Rises, they were about to leave but they were stopped. In the Road Trip episode, they also came right back.

Gideon's parents are also an enigma. Gideon's dad seems to have some sort of knowledge about the supernatural, especially since we found out that he was in the Society of the Blind Eye. About his mom, I have no clue! We only get a couple lines from her, one of them I remember being "Just keep vaccuming, just keep vaccuming.", and otherwise she just looked horrified or traumatized. It also could be that Gideon found the journal the same way as Dipper; he just so happened to encounter it in one of the hiding places.
