FOX Talkback - Family Guy - "Stewie Kills Lois, Part One" (Spoilers)

Apparently he changed his mind or something, as his opinion just took a 180.

But, yeah, this new season is looking to be pretty good...
 
She got shot in the back with tons of blowdarts and fell unconscious into the water in "Jungle Love", while the rest of the family left the island.


There was too much blood for that explanation to work, unless it wasn't actually blood somehow.
 
I must say, this is the best episode in quite some time. While, yes, they did fall back on old habits of using a lot of cutaway gags in the first and second acts, this was pretty epic, if you ask me.

COnsidering I didn't know it was going to be a 2 parter, I didn't even see the ending coming.

I figured it would either be a dream, or Stewie would feel guilty for what he had done, and used some sort of device to either clone Lois or bring her back to life somehow.

But seriously, Stewie pulling off what he was talking about for years was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I know he came close with the episode where Peter cheated Death. But this was the only real time he ever got the guts to do it.

I will say, the Lake House gag, while funny, seemed completely unnecissary. But it still had me laughing like hell after I got up from that half hour nap called the Simpson's Halloween Special.
 
To be positive, I have to say that on its own merits and not based on how well it fit into the episode, the Beatles cutaway was really funny. I do think Ringo is talented, but it was still a clever take on his status in the band.
 
By far my favorite part of the entire episode was the "Harrison Ford Telling Random People To Give Him Back His Family". I'm STILL laughing just thinking about it.

I don't know what anyone's problem with the "Douchebag/Guitar" scene was. It didn't need a punchline. It was the punchline. Anyone who's ever been to a university would instantly understand that every douchebag in college puts every bottle of alcohol he's ever drank in shelves, decides that the rest of the complex needs to hear his music from his speakers, and thinks that simply because he has moderate skill with a guitar means that girls will instantly sleep with him.

The REAL joke is that most of the time, moderate guitar skill means girls WILL instantly sleep with him.

Stewie's head turn was so unbelievably creepy, thank God they finished it off with a joke, otherwise that scene would have haunted my dreams all night.

On the plus side, we finally find out why they hate Meg so much. And yeah, that hot dog scene was just.....wow......

I really do HATE that this is going to end up being a cop-out, it would really make for an interesting dynamic, but at the same time, you really just couldn't have Family Guy without Lois I guess.....still.....
 
Yeah, that was the worst one so far. Completely pointless in every way.

The episode was nowhere near as good as the previous episode (or even that special they aired right before) but it was decent.

I'm just not on edge like I was for the South Park cliffhangers.
 
Yeah. i think that was supposed to be in reference to all the other times he did that, like the Christmas episode, and North by North Quahog, when Brian said "This situation has turned his whole life upside down face."
 
Here's what I think happened, Lois had some thing under in her shirt that was like blood when Stewie shot at her, it spelt all over. I mean what other explanation is there for her being a live? That's the only possible way. If they pull a Meg with her and just forget what happened that would be weird LOL.
 
Wait a minute, I just remembered something. Both Newsday and IGN showed a picture of a scene where Stewie auditions for and/or tries to kill the American Idol judges. Perhaps that's in the next episode, but they really made it seem like it was in this one.


The concept of the scene was fine (despite yet another bad transition). The problem was that there was no comedic timing to the scene whatsoever. I got the joke halfway through the guy's song; the rest of it wasn't funny. I at least thought that, kind of like what you suggested, the girls would all jump on him at the end or something. But no, the ending was simply the logical "point B" of the scene with no real comedic twist to it, nothing that I couldn't already figure out for myself. Timing is everything.
 
He's not really funny. I don't hate him, like everyone else here seems to, but he's just kind of a one note character. Most of his jokes don't really have a point. He's just... there. Some of his appearances are hilarious (like in Blue Harvest, and his original two appearances) but most are pretty boring, or downright disturbing (the one with his dog and his crossdressing montage just really disturbed me).

By the way, who the hell is Bruce? People keep talking about him, but I don't know who he is. I wasn't paying attention to Peter's lawyer in the trial. Does anyone have a screenshot of him or something? I haven't seen that many post-revival episodes of FG.

I bet Death was drunk or something preventing her from dying.
 
God Bless DVR...
Anyway.

I thought it was good. Some of the jokes fell a little flat...Guitar guy, the nasty Dick Clark joke, but most of the episode was good. I'll judge the story by both parts, but as far as the stand alone, this one gets a solid 4/5.

Anyone else think next week is going to be better? Perhaps next week should have been the 100th episode, since the screwed with the numbers anyway. It looks more epic like.
