Not to mention the whole Tillman documentary that shows them attacking the government relentlessly to get the truth about Pat's death.

I was hoping they'd make some sort of joke on how Stewie hadn't aged in more than 10 years.

Loved the story, and loved the blending of the new animation with the old. These "concept episodes" have been the best episodes of FG over the past couple of seasons.

Still amazed how many 9/11-related gags MacFarlane puts in considering he was supposed to be on one of the planes that day.

I really liked this episode. Loved the footage of Brian stopping 9/11 and his catch phrases also in the future what the cutaways had turned into: "Matthew McConaughey is terrible" with Peter against a white screen

I miss "what the deuce?" and "damn you vile woman"
this episode was ballsy, it might remind people of how much funnier this show used to be
and I say that as someone that still likes it but thinks it's not at its best

this ep was good though

Maybe it's somewhat therapeutic for him.

The scene with the multiple copies of Stewie and Brian reminded me of the "Parallels" episode of Trek TNG for some reason. The barber shop universe = the Borg universe.

That was my first thought too. Awesome homage if that's how Seth meant it. Best ep in a while.

Ok, I had a good laugh at Peter's line about women in combat. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of:

But with their monthly bleeding, how can you tell if they are really hurt?

Fuck you MacFarlane. If I wanted a morality lesson I'd go to Sunday school. And a week after Veteran's Day too- what a fucking douchebag.

Yeah...I'm totally pro-gay but that was one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile.

Completely out of the blue and unexpected...fucking awesome funny.

Funny episode - seems they're starting to get back to their old ways a bit. I laughed for a few minutes towards the end where Peter said in the background "Ok guys it was really great having ya" I don't know why that was so funny...just was.

Is Cherry Chevapravatdumrong still around? I haven't seen her name around in a while. Perhaps there was a writing change a while back.

I'm torn about this one. I always find McFarlane's forced messages and preaching to be tedious, but I do enjoy the manufactured butthurt it brings out in people.

I didn't find this episode that funny. The bathroom line was good but the only literal LOL moment was the big eyed kids visual gag.

I liked the line

Patrick Stewart being the inner voice of the daughter and Mayor West being a wizard were good

Really enjoyed this episode, especially Kool-Aid Man's scenes.
