    Family Guy Season 9

    Is anyone checking this episode/season out? Seems pretty different from his usual slapstick so far.

    Spoiler: show
    Only just started watching but it looks like it's a way for them to kill off ancillary characters.

    It sounded like him to me. Also, they've really upped the use of the 3d animation. It was really cool to see.

    Some thoughts I had were are they gonna keep dead people dead? Off the top of my head, seems whenever they've killed anyone off, they stay dead. Anytime they haven't? Guess James Woods being dead would be odd though. I did like at the end how Stewie got a little edge back in his quest to kill Lois.

    What they should do is bring Tom and Diane back like nothing happened and have Lois mention something and get blown off. That's more Family Guy than totally ignoring something.

    Biggest hole in the plot (and I know this is Family Guy so bear with me) is that when Stewie killed Diane Simmons, he could have easily just shot Lois, since he did say he wanted to be the one to take her out. It bothered me as soon as I saw it, but then again, I am fully aware of what show I'm watching so I guess it doesn't matter.

    That wasn't a plothole.

    Spoiler: show

    Stewie said "If anyone is gonna take that bitch out it's gonna be me". Not "I'm gonna kill her and no one else".

    Very good episode, for once I actually paid attention to the episode instead of just working while watching in the background

    Glad they made stewie a little evil again, instead of just gay which is what he'd become.

    Those mean the same exact thing, and he's always been obsessed with that particular goal since the first episode. My point is that he could have succeeded no problem, but he chose not to for no obvious reason.

    Also, from Seth MacFarlane's twitter:
    Spoiler: show
    A day after the episode aired, MacFarlane announced over Twitter that the episode was indeed canon, and Muriel, Diane, and others will no longer make appearances in any future Family Guy episodes


    Those mean the same exact thing, and he's always been obsessed with that particular goal since the first episode. My point is that he could have succeeded no problem, but he chose not to for no obvious reason.
    He has, but those statements in context do not mean the same thing. One is saying that if anyone were to kill Lois, it was going to be him and no one else. The other is saying that he is going to kill Lois and he will not allow anyone else to do it. Read into the context.

    And there is an obvious reason. Stewie has been historically shown in pretty much every season that while he wants to kill Lois he really loves her.

    Like any evil mastermind he won't use the easy way. He must trick her into swimming in a pool with sharks with freaking laser beams on their freaking heads.

    lol? Is English not your first language? They most certainly do not mean the same thing.

    I really liked it, I don't even remember the last time I saw Stewie being evil (they slowly changed his character from evil genius baby to upper class homosexual since season 1). It was probably sometime around season 3 ish.

    rewatch season 8?(mightve been 7) he butchers the new brian for humping rupert and kidnaps brians siblings and tortures them to make brian help him get miley cyrus tickets, just to name a few.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I will miss James Woods! Kinda glad they killed Gillian's husband though. I always liked the episodes with her and Brian, so I'd assume that now they can do more with them.

    I think we're just arguing semantics, or rather, you're taking it for what it is and I'm probably reading too much into it.

    And who would have thought that their better episodes come when they use cutaways less often? Maybe they should have episodes like this more often.

    Yeah it was, Seth has brought him into Family Guy quite a few times since he's so big in American Dad it's an easy transition.

    Really great episode, I'm a big fan of "Whodunit?" kind of stuff so this homage was very awesome.

    Spoiler: show
    The mexican maid Consuela's bit about why she hated James Woods had me lolling really hard, "And then he shoot himself in the face..", christ haha. I am kinda pissed they killed off Diane cause Tom & her were pretty funny alot of the time but eh, they put her out with a bang at least. Her explaining the entire plan and how it went down was actually really well put together.

    It was really funny when Tom Tucker aggroed a bunch of mobs and they showed a top view of him kiting them around a big table.
