Whether you love or hate Family Guy's newer seasons you can't deny that the characters personalities have changed drastically over the years for better or worse, like making Brian a pretentious twat or reducing Joe to a diaper wearing, suicidal cripple joke. Speaking of diapers, Stewie Griffin has probably undergone the most drastic character changes; and some argue he's become more likable because of it. In the original seasons he was an enfant terrible who constantly plotted to kill his mother and occasionally world conquest. He was a Bond villain as a baby and the creators realize that while cool, that doesn't make for much of an interesting character. So in season 2 they downgraded his evilness and gave him a more vast personality like having a flair for the dramatic and culture, with just a hint of homosexual/bisexual ambiguity, balancing it with his evil genius mind. This gave us episodes such as Road to Rhode Island, in fact the entire Road To... series, From Method to Madness and of course Emission Impossible.

But after Family Guy's first revival they seemed to make Stewie a more genuinely nice fellow. While maintaining his genius and science love he seemed more frail, sensitive and a lot more obviously sexually depraved. For better or worse he'd changed and became the most divided character in the show. Some would say compared to Peter and Lois these days he's the nicest Griffin in the family at this point. And his episodes, even in the modern seasons are oftentimes considered the best and worst of the show, like Herpe the Love Sore, Brian and Stewie, Stewie Kills Lois/Lois Kills Stewie, The Big Bang Theory and of course this episode.

This episode is like a love letter to Stewie's old evil genius days of when he'd kill anybody who got in his way or gave him trouble. He once kidnapped a kid because he stole his trike and tortured him! This goes to show what he'd be like if that trait stayed with him consistently and got more overblown in the form of Penelope, who among other things has actually managed to KILL her mother! Something Stewie has tried and failed to do for years. The two connect in an honestly cute fashion through their wickedness, and I think it's really charming.

A lot of the jokes this episode are really clever, they trick you into thinking they'll go for the obvious like having Mort get blown up by a wallet bomb, and then twist things up. The chaos Stewie and Penelope cause is magnificent, worthy of Discord himself! I must especially congratulate them on the ROARIN' TWENTIN TIDAL WAVEN! Like Stewie I love me some mindless violence and destruction, might be why I like Mr. Pickles, but I channel it creatively through video games like GTAV and Prototype. I'm also easier to set off than Pakistan!

But one thing I really respect her is Peter's subplot with Quagmire. They could easily have gone the "haha two guys sleeping Together equals gay buttsex" route but they never do. Peter's desire for cuddling in sleep is very natural and I myself am a cuddleholic, so I sympathize with his plight. Some people like to spoon in their sleep and can't sleep without that extra warmth. It might look gay, but I assure you it is not. I'm a lot like Peter, I'm a cover hog and tend to roll around in my sleep so if I ever do get a wife she will probably die under me. True male bonding is rare without the guys being called homos these days. After all, Bert and Ernie aren't gay.

For once in a very long time Brian actually works as a voice of reason to Stewie. He has not done his "victory shall be mine" shtick in forever and Penelope is influencing him in a very bad way. Whenever he caused mayhem in the past he did it in pursuit of world conquest; this is evil for evil's own sake and it's a poor suit on anybody no matter who they are. And as much as Stewie tries, he can't bring himself to actually kill Brain at Penelope's request, murder the hypotenuse so to speak. And here it actually makes Stewie's Vitriolic friendship with Brian seem genuine, not total bullshit like in Life of Brian!

If Bertam's scuffles with the Stew-man weren't enough to quench your appetite for baby fights Stewie and Penelope's brawl should do the trick! THIS is what James Bond Jr. Should've been like! Freaking GLORIOUS! These two tots make Jimmy Neutron's shit look like tinker toys! This was every bit as funny, intense and satisfy as I'd expect for Stewie going back into his darker roots and realizing, "as soft as I've gotten I could've ended up far far worse". and that's why he's my favorite character in the show!
