really like this episode

[milosneverland · 10/10 · 2 November 2014]

I actually really enjoyed this episode. it was really funny and jaw dropping, all the violence (not all needed but it added something). i was not expecting it so I couldn't stop laughing.

meg she has her seriously creepy obsession with Joe but its kinda funny to watch. its not hard to believe that she would fall for Joe knowing her and how she once fell for Bryan. this is kinda like a continue for that. i like it when they follow up stuff like that or mention other episodes.

Bryan mentions to Stewie that he has lost his touch and has become soft so he makes a evil clone. who is incredibly violent. but its funny in a way.

when bonnie leaves town meg takes care Joe and Susie and ends up falling for Joe. and becomes obsessed with him.

its a great episode if u like meg and can tolerate unneeded violence. its actually really enjoyable and the ending is a funny way of ending all the craziness.

Definitely a step up

This episode was a throwback to the earlier episodes giving us a couple interesting story-lines ( We can be quite sure that parent review boards are gonna cry afoul as usual about both the violence and Meg's infatuation).

There are perfect elements in this episode, involving the best pairing of the series, Brian and Stewie and playing in some peripheral characters like bonnie, Meg and Joe.

The episode starts off with Brian mocking Stewie about him going soft and losing his evil streak, provoking Stewie to try and make himself more evil via one more of his endless machines, and instead ends up creating an extremely evil and sadistic clone of himself.

The other storyline involves Bonnie leaving town enlisting Meg's help in order to look after Susie and Joe and Meg in the process going overboard and developing an infatuation for Joe.

The ending with Stewie flashing his evil smile seems to indicate the return of a darker Stewie in future episodes, a change that I open heartedly welcome given how soft his character had become in the later episodes.

This episode overall was perfectly constructed did not have any unnecessary fillers, extremely long cutaways or annoying songs and definitely had me interested for its entire duration making me give it a solid 9, probably missing out on a 10 for not having any major laugh out funny moments.

Bad stuff

This was probably the worst episode of FG! It was way too scary and it contained disgusting scenes of Meg touching herself. Chris was not in any scene. It was not even funny, it didn't have a good ending either! Creepy.I love FG otherwise. I voted a 2 because the average was way too high. I deserves a solid 3 or 4. I will fill the rest of this review with some lyrics. We both lie silently still In the dead of the night Although we both lie close together We feel miles apart inside Was it something I said or something I did Did my words not come out right Though I tried not to hurt you Though I tried But I guess that's why they say Every rose has its thorn Just like every night has its dawn Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song Every rose has its thorn

Terrible episode of a worthwhile series

[cuckingfunt · 1/10 · 16 May 2011]

This is not the Family Guy we fell in love with. Every other episode in this season is fine, they have gone back to plot lines instead of random gags, that is also fine, but this episode fails on so many levels.

It's hard to believe one of Family Guy's long established writers wrote this episode. The plot is boring and predictable and there is too much violence in the evil stewie scenes to even class this as comedy.

The jokes are dark, sinister and twisted. There is not one funny moment in this episode. I would of thought after the great murder mystery episode, ( And Then There Were Fewer,) they would have stepped up the quality of the episodes that followed , but I was wrong. From this episode I can tell they just cant be assed writing the great scripts they once created anymore.

It's a shame to see the creative streak go so high then so low in just a few episodes of the same season. Every other episode in this season is well crafted and great, this is just trash. Don't waste your time with this one.
