 I just wanted to take a quick couple of minutes to review and recommend the final episode of Gravity Falls, which aired just earlier this week. It was a proper finale to the show. They set up a good science fiction premise, and they followed through with it. I liked the final conflict and the final resolution. And here's the thing that made me want to record a special video for this. The villain of the series, Bill Cipher. Why is he just a triangle? Why is he just a dimensionless geometric shape? Well the final episode gives us an answer. As you may have noticed, I've recently had a multi-dimensional makeover. But I wasn't always this way. You think those chains are tight? Imagine living in the second dimension. Flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams. I liberated my dimension, Stanford, and I'm here to liberate yours. That's right. He is a supervillain from Flatland. Those of you who have been watching my reviews with interest will remember how many times I've mentioned Flatland after I reviewed the first Flatland book. So this is of special interest to us. There was another moment in the show that I took note of. We're not scared of you. Oh, but you should be. Really use some decoration. I've mentioned before the mathematician author Rudy Rucker, who has many times written about creatures from other dimensions, and he's specifically written about Flatland repeatedly. Well, there's a story that he co-wrote with John Shirley called Pockets, and this moment made me think of that story in which invaders from higher dimensions, fifth or sixth dimension or whatever, were collecting living three-dimensional human beings like bumper stickers. Now the writers of this show are clearly familiar with Flatland. So I'm wondering if they were influenced by this. Rudy Rucker has made all of his short stories, his entire collection of short stories available in text form on his website, and I'll include a link to that site below. It was a good show, and I recommend that you watch the entire series. My only problem with this final episode was, it was a double-linked episode. It was 45 minutes long. My big problem was, the last 15 minutes, a full 15 minutes, were devoted to a feel-good epilogue, where everything was put back to normal and everybody had a happy ending, and I didn't like that. I was perfectly happy and actually very excited to see things the way they were at the end of the conflict, and there was too much epilogue. Anyway, that's the end of the series, but I'm pretty sure there'll be another one, and I'll look forward to it. You can support 30-Second Sci-Fi and my other projects by becoming a patron.
