The One Where Briann And Stewie Go Back To The Pilot...
24 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I can't stress enough how much I love this episode. It is one of my all-time favorite episodes of Family Guy, ever. Out of tons and tons of great episodes that this show has to offer, this is defiantly one the best. Now, sometimes I'm not a giant fan of Steiwie and Brian centric episodes, but this one just takes the freaking cake. It really does.

In this episode, Stewie and Brian travel back in time to December 31st 1999. Back to the Pilot episode. They see themselves inside the kitchen, looking a lot worse, meaning, not drawn as well and not as high definition quality. They point out that something's wrong with Meg's voice, stating to the obvious fact that Mila Kunis eventually took over the role of Meg, from Lacey Chabert. They also put out an error, made by one of the drawers, where Peter's eye goes over his face, for a second. Another thing they wonder to themselves, is why the family is suddenly quiet after hearing a reference. This is because of the cut-away that happens during that scene. Anyway, they collect what they were there to collect and when they get back to the present, things have been severely altered. Brian couldn't help himself. He had to tell younger him about something that will happen. Want to know what he did? Brian stopped 9/11. Sounds great, which is many ways it is, but it turns out, that in Family Guy Universe, 9/11 was something that changed the world for the better. Stewie and Brian go back to correct their, well, Brian's mistake, and they come back and stuff has still changed. They go back dozens of times, because Brian kept telling himself something, and eventually, there are dozens and dozens of Stewies and Brians all in the same time. Eventually, Stewie and Brian correct it, so nothing ever happened, including that particular pair of the two. So, the current Stewie and Brian never lived through any of it. I know it sounds confusing, and I'm probably not explaining it very well, but that's another reason why you should watch this episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10.
