Too Religious, and should have been more focused on the Star Trek plot

2.0

By Slinkgirl95, Sep 21, 2012

This is also another one of the worst episodes of Family Guy ever written. Now first of all, I am not religious at all, and don't believe in any religion. But if you believe in a religion, then that's okay. My family just isn't the religious type. My know my nana goes to church, though. One of my friends is Catholic, or Christian, and I'm good with that. But this episode was just too religious, and annoying, and should have been more about the Star Trek plot.

So, the episode starts off with a Star Trek convention, sounds like it;s gonna be a good episode, or at least will contain a good plot, you know, but then as soon as Meg gets the mumps from some guy there, and becomes really Religious, then the episode turns to crap. The whole episode was just about Meg talking about Religious stuff and that, and the they learn that Brian is an athiest and everyone gets so worked up about it, and the Meg tells everyone that Brian is an athiest and they all turn on him. What's so wrong if you don't believe in a religion? It's your choice. I'm not sure if athiest actually means that you're saying that religions don't exist, sorry. I just know that it means you don't believe in a religion, like you're not religious. And then Tom Tucker says that he'd rather have a terroist in their town. WTF? You'd rather have a person who bombs the place in your town? So stupid. They should have focused more on the Star Trek plot and Stewie transporting the Star Trek cast into his bedroom and spending a day with them. There were some funny parts with them like when Stewie pronounces Will Wheaton wrong, they go to McDonalds, and they want to order different things and such, and when they go bowling, and Patrick Stewert has two bowling balls and says he has boobs. And Michael Dorn saying he has to pee. But everything else in the episode was just rubbish, even the crappy live-action ending. But the the ending with Stewie and the Star Trek crew was okay. The only other two funny parts in the episode were when Stewie farts into Peter's diving suit when he puts the TV in Meg's room and he throws up in it, and when Meg throws the cross and Brian chases after it and then starts chewing on it and won't let Meg have it back. But it was also annoying how Meg was trying to convert Brian. People shouldn't have to be converted to believe in a religion, it's THEIR choice.

So, overall, just another badly-written episode of Family Guy. I swear, I put the TV on this morning and this episode was on and I moaned. Yep, that's how much I hate this episode. Even my brother thinks this is a dumb episode. So, again, believe in your religion if you wish to, but if someone doesn't believe in a religion, don't try to get them to believe in it. They have a choice. This episode is just rubbish.moreless

Seth MacFarlane, you took religion in this episode WAY too far and I bet you have angry people coming after you because of that situation.

4.0

By tigerdude22, Mar 20, 2012

This would have been such a great "Family Guy" episode if Seth MacFarlane didn't take the relgion thing too far and focused on more on Stewie with the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" plot instead. I thought it was hilarious when Stewie wanted to ask a question at the Star Trek convention and then he didn't get to ask a question. I thought it was hilarious when Stewie transported the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Genertaion" to his bedroom so they will be forced to answer his questions... the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Genertaion" was also hilarious especially when them and Stewie went to go to McDonald's. The very ending was also hilarious when Stewie told the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" that they stink and he never wants to them again and transports them back. Stewie's plot was the reason why score is a little higher... now to get to the reason why score is very low. Meg becomes extremely religious and then Brian tells everyone that is an atheist (which means that he does not believe in God) and everyone in Quahog hates him because of that. I didn't like how Brian keeps convincing everyone that there is no thing as God. I am a Catholic and I definitely believe in God so this episode was kind of offensive to me. Also, the scene with Meg burning books and Brian telling her that their is no such thing as God because he said "What kind of God would put you in a home where nobody cares about you? What kind of God gives you a hot mom like Lois? What kind of God gives you a fat dad like Peter? etc." and then Meg was convinced that there is no such thing as God (which angered me). I didn't get the point with the live-action scene with Adam West and Rob Lowe but it was pretty funny and this scene was before Stewie transported the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" back. Overall, why does Seth MacFarlane need to go too far with relgion?... like I said in the beginning of my review, they should have focused more on Stewie's plot. 4/10moreless

The whole religion thing went way too far, and we barely get to see the Star Trek TNG cast as a result despite so many promotions about them appearing

1.0

By That_TV_Dude, Jan 02, 2012

Seeing promos for this episode, it looked rather promising. This episode of Family Guy was going to have the whole cast of Star Trek TNG. From Patrick Stewart to Brent Spiner the whole cast would be there. It sounded so promising considering that I love Star Trek TNG, and was ready for a good laugh from them, but only to be really disappointed. The main plot for this episode is that Meg becomes a Christian and spread the name of Jesus and God to the whole family. However Meg discovers Brian is an Atheist and tries to convert him. When that fails, Meg turns the whole town against Brian and he is forced to hide. Brian then pretends to convert to have his normal life back and then at a book burning, Brian tells Meg to stop being Christian and convince her that there is no God and to follow her own path. Now I am all for making my own path, and we all do, but where does Brian and Meg get off for the religious pressure they put on one on other? Have these two ever heard of Freedom of Religion at all? I am not that religious, but Brian and Meg should have been able to respect each others beliefs and not get after each other and convert them. Now you are probably wondering why I haven't mentioned the Star Trek cast, well it's because they are never there. Most of the time the episode focuses on Meg, Brian, or the whole religious stuff. The times we do see the Star Trek cast are not enough time and are not given enough screen time at all. They are also shockingly unfunny and for an episode about a parody of them this was just inexcusable and they never made me laugh. The rest of the humor in this episode is also just stupid and the cut away gags were really boring. This episode was such a letdown, there is too much religion involved, the humor is bad, and the Star trek cast in really underused. I will give Seth credit for having a famous cast do a parody, and make them really unentertaining. Words of advice for you Seth. One, next time you have a famous cast on your show make them funny, and two split the main plot and sub plot evenly so they are each given enough screen time.moreless

Seth, please accept the fact that nobody gives a crap that you're Athiest.

Main plot is alright, but the Star Trek: The Next Generation was my favorite plot.

Meg becomes extremely religious, and tries to convert Brian from Atheism. Meanwhile, after the family visits a Star Trek convention, Stewie kidnaps the entire cast ofStar Trek: The Next Generationand forces them to hang out with him. This was a decent episode of Family Guy. I thought it was decent because of the subplot with Stewie and the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. My score is lower cause the main plot. It relies onreligion. First of all, I didn't like how Meg did something to Brian that causes him to be hated. Second, the part before a sequence with Rob Lowe and Adam West was kinda offending (the part where Meg said "there no such thing as God"). Also, even though I love the sub-plot, I didn't like Stewie killing Denise Crosby.Anyway, I'm going to move on the funny parts on this episode. It was hilarious when Peter wear the glasses and got scared. It was funny when the people asked different questions that has nothing to do with ST:TNG. I laughed so hard when Peter was wearing a suit thing and then Stewie farted on it. I thought it was hilarious when Stewie try to work on that thing and then Quagmire and a bunch of Asian chicks appeared. It was funny when Stewie says Wil Wheaton wrong. Also, it was super hilarious when Patrick Stewart (who played Stan's boss in American Dad") was pretending to have girl boobs when those two bowling balls. The end credits was funny as well when Stewie told them to die. Overall, a somewhat hilarious episode, but only the Stewie plot. 7/10moreless

- Sanford and Son
  When Meg is trying to get the crucifix back from Brian, his short, threatening growls gradually evolve into the theme from the 1972 series, Sanford and Son.
  EDIT SHARE
- Men In Black
  
  The idea that the entire universe is contained in the tiny part of a lamp shade is similar to an idea put forth in the ending of the movie Men In Black, in which the entire universe was revealed to be contained in a marble.
  EDIT SHARE
- Flash Gordon
  
  As Peter talks about God being in the clouds, the scene cuts to God, riding a flying scooter, while dressed in a red tank top with lightning bolt on the chest. This is a direct allusion to the 1980 movie Flash Gordon, whose title character wore the same shirt throughout the movie, as well as riding the flying scooter during his assault on the castle of Ming the Merciless.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kodak Disc 1983 Commercial
  
  Peter sings the commercial jingle ("I'm gonna get ya with the Kodak Disc") for this camera which arranged 15 negatives in a disc form. The camera was produced until 1989, while the film was last made in 1998.
  EDIT SHARE
- Predator
  
  The bottle of Jägermeister says "get to da choppa!" This is a reference to a line from the character Dutch (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) in the movie Predator.
  EDIT SHARE
- Calvin and Hobbes
  
  Stewie sends a cellphone picture of Meg to Calvin, the main character from the Bill Watterson comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.

  The Stephen King (penned as pseudonym Richard Bachman) novel Thinner is referenced. In this reference, the old gypsy man curses Britney Spears "Thicker."

- When Stewie and Marina Sirtis are arguing in the car about fast food, Stewie's comeback about mind-reading is an obvious reference to her character's (Deanna Troi) empathic abilities on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

  Stewie shooting Denise Crosby is a possible reference to the senseless death of her character, Tasha Yar, on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
