History YMMV / FamilyGuyS7E11NotAllDogsGoToHeaven

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some people believe that after Stewie killed Denise Crosby to show them he wasn't screwing around, the rest of the Star Trek cast decided to act as annoying and unbearable as possible ''on purpose'' so Stewie would send them home sooner. If so, this was a pretty big BatmanGambit on their part, since Stewie could essentially kill them whenever he wanted.
* {{Anvilicious}}: The "religion is bad" message could not be more heavy-handed than it is in this episode. In fact, whenever Family Guy is criticized for this trope, chances are extremely high you'll hear about this episode.

* TheWoobie: Meg can be difficult not to feel sorry for, since Brian mocks her for being religious and argues against the existence of God based solely on her being considered unattractive and living a crappy life.

* BrokenBase: While most thought it was SoOkayItsAverage (they hated the main story because it focused on Meg, but loved the ''Star Trek'' story and some of the jokes), some considered it to be a low point of the show and the beginning of the show's decline.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Stewie reuniting the whole ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' by force and spending a day dealing with their crap has enough potential to fill up an entire episode. Unfortunately, it takes the backseat to a far more negatively received {{Anvilicious}} plot that essentially amounts to nothing more than a shallow TakeThat towards religion.

* JerkassWoobie: Brian, since his treatment initially was unfair.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Religion is a bad!!

* HoYay:

-->'''Stewie:''' Probably.

* TheWoobie: Meg.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Although it has plenty of fans, this episode is regarded extremely poorly for it's UnfortunateImplications. See FamilyUnfriendlyAesop.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: This episode basically tells people that it is wrong for them to practice religion. In other words, it comes across as the writers being against anyone who isn't atheist.

* JerkassWoobie: Brian, since his treatment initially was a tad unfair.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Although it has plenty of fans, this episode is unfortunately loathed by many for essentially stating that the religious (especially Christians) are all book burners who hate athiests, and that God does not exist because of Meg's ButtMonkey status.

** SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Though some argue that the episode nevertheless does make some very good points about religion that needed to be said, such as too much fundamentalism and irrationality in religion being a bad thing (i.e. the Westboro Baptist Church, Salem Witch Trials and so forth). [[note]]Then again, this could be averted by a sincere Christian explaining that – as eloquently pointed out in the Book of Job – sometimes, bad things happen to people who don't deserve it while some bad people not only get away with their actions, they are seen as good people and their actions either minimized and/or justified; and that in the end, people like Peter and Lois will have to answer for their treatment of their own daughter and will be unable to justify their actions or bluff their way out of it.[[/note]]

As for SethMacFarlane and the writers, it's a mixed bag. SethMacFarlane thought Brian's end speech made a good point (albeit a little heavy-handed), while the writers were uneasy as they felt it went against their religion (Catholic). However, all three of them agree that they did their best to make the religion vs. atheism argument even-handed and don't really understand why people thought it was so one-sided.

* DesignatedHero: Brian is no less preachier than Meg.
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Anti-religiousness aside, Brian pointing out that Meg's being ugly (well, [[InformedDeformity "ugly"]]) is a reason God doesn't exists leads to something like "A woman's worth isn't determined by her strength of character or her intelligence, but by how attractive she is."

* TheWoobie: Meg.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Stewie abducting the cast of ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' could've been a really decent A-plot but was shoved back as a side story to focus on the whole religion tract.
* UnfortunateImplications: Not only does it make Christians look like idiotic zealots, but it makes atheists look like arrogant schmucks.
** Another example mixes in an AccidentalAesop for some people. Some have taken the message to mean that "God does not exist because some women are not physically attractive" or that "God does not exist because some parents are just plain uncaring and abusive toward their children -- as Peter and Lois both are to Meg -- and they (the parents) aren't given their immediate comeuppance."[[note]]Would be a HilarityEnsues, wherein in the real world, Peter and Lois' behavior toward Meg would have them thrown in jail and losing custody of their children.[[/note]][[note]]Moderate and mainstream Christians might counter [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop this Aesop]] with the teachings of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job Book of Job]], which addresses God's presence and justice in the face of human suffering and why bad things -- sometimes incredibly bad things, such as the Holocaust -- happen to good people who don't deserve it, while bad people sometimes not only go unpunished and get away with their actions, they undeservedly earn great honors, are lavished with riches and are lauded as great people for their "accomplishments" (ironically – as both Alan Thicke and Jeremy Licht make "cameos" in this episode – a point made by Jason Seaver to his son, Ben, on an episode of ''GrowingPains'').[[/note]]
