Recent evidence has shown that Roger [[spoiler:royally screwed up his people]], and that his excuse of [[AlwaysChaoticEvil being a jerky race]] is in serious question. Add the fact that [[spoiler:Jeff]] knows that, and has a space-craft to go home to, it's quite possible that he's screwed. It would also fit into Seth [=McFarlane=] taking criticisms to heart: [[GenreSavvy he knows how]] too much of an imbalance between [[LaughablyEvil the comedically dickish]] and [[KarmaHoudini getting away with massive amounts of said dickery]] can cause people [[TheScrappy to hate the character]]. That, and we all know [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech what happened]] to his last CreatorsPet. Also, [[spoiler:Jeff]] and/or Roger's people coming back would be fuel for an AlienInvasion storyline, and developing both Roger and his people's histories.

For all we know what if his voice sounds like a woman, is incredibly high pitched like the time Stan got a rake to the groin, or he sounds like a child like the bad guy from "Suburban Commando". Then Stan should Lampshade why he never speaks in the event Stelio Kontos ever did speak.

** Unlike Chris in ''Family Guy'' who's basically an Expy of his dad, Stan & Steve are opposites (though Steve, like Jamie on ''WaitTillYourFatherGetsHome'', does look up to his dad and believes what he believes [until Stan gets outed as a hypocrite in some way], i.e., that homosexuals are insidious and planning to indoctrinate heterosexual men as seen in "Lincoln Lover" or that masturbation is a sin as seen in "A Smith in the Hand") which adds for some interesting dynamics in the episodes where they are paired up together.

* Or, alternatively, the pills have a side-effect of lethargy and a slowed-down metabolism. As a troper who has gained a lot of weight from taking paxil as a child, I can tell you right now that such things are possible. If this is the case, rather than my above WMG, it would probably make better social commentary about the American pharmaceutical system. However, it would probably only be mentioned in passing, and would sadly sacrifice the opportunity for an excellent episode showing Barry returning to his true LargeHam ChessMaster self.

Lois is a redhead. Barry is a redhead. Peter and Chris are fat. Barry is fat. Stewie is an EvilBrit. When Barry stops taking his pills, he turns into an EvilBrit. By the current season in FamilyGuy, the Griffins (or just Brian) eventually figured out he was evil and started giving him "vitamins" to stunt his homicidal intent, resulting in Stewie's current DiminishingVillainThreat. (Maybe the pills fix the shape of his head somehow?) As he grows up, he gets fatter and stupider. He calls himself Barry instead of Stewie because he confuses his name with that of Bertram's, his half brother by Peter (who he calls Barry because "Bertram" is now too hard for him to say).

[[WMG: Stan is a series of clones]]
It's presumed that Stan can't or won't learn from his mistakes or experiences. But maybe the issue is that he's not the same him every week. We've already established that the CIA can and does make clones. The first one, Bill, was a beta; he couldn't consistently hit Stan's voice enough to be used anywhere where people would know Prime Stan, but now there's better versions. A copy of Stan's consciousness is on the CIA hard drive, ready to be uploaded into a never-ending line of proto-Stans (Future Stan was a failed cyborg experiment that Bullock sent to convince whatever Stan clone had tagged in to not rip up his cyborg contract, since Bullock still has faith in the technology).

It explains why Stan is inconsistent in his beliefs -- some of his clones are OK with popular music, others aren't. It also explains why he can survive seemingly insurmountable threats -- he doesn't; he dies and is replaced with another clone. His family has accepted it as a function of his hardheadedness.

Prime Stan could be dead, embedded in deep cover or may have just wanted to leave his family while not making them go through the pain of a divorce.

Or at least what everyone with a white wife wants their wife to look like. Let's see she doesn't have a single flaw on her except for when she's not touching up on her beauty regime and she has blonde hair, I hear that's the hair every white person wants, this show doesn't focus on eye color so she just has normal colored eyes, and not blue eyes.
