YMMV / Family Guy S 12 E 21 Chap Stewie

• Ass Pull: In "Life of Brian", it's made clear that Stewie's time machine was destroyed for good, with extra emphasis placed on the fact that the titanium capacitor he used for it is unavailable because his supplier was arrested for doodling Mohammad. Then, out of the blue in this episode, he builds another seemingly overnight. This is never explained, although, it is mentioned — by Brian. It's possible that, given how inventive Stewie is, he must have made one from scratch.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Two scenes from this episode put the events of the later one, "The Candidate", in a darker light.
  • Firstly, after being born into his new family, Stewie's new brothers blatantly call him an accident to his face. Stewie takes it as a joke, albeit a very dark one. In "The Candidate", Stewie's rival publicly exposes Stewie's status as "an accident" in order to discredit him to his fellow students and gets away with it until the end of the episode.
  • Secondly, Chris stumbles on Peter's Porn Stash (thanks to Stewie) and takes it for himself, with it being revealed that it took him three years to get through it all. In "The Candidate", Chris is not only revealed to have a Porn Stash that puts Peter's old one to shame, but his features sex tapes of his own parents, something that Stewie is left in utter shock by.
• Squick: A Cutaway Gag heavily implies Meg uses Stewie to remove tampons from her vagina when the string breaks.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Stewie's British father discovers the time machine just as Stewie's about to go back and restore his previous existence, but is quickly brought down by a Groin Attack. The episode might've had a more dynamic ending if Stewie's other dad followed him back and tried to stop Stewie.
