Mmmmm, the more Stewie the better, I say! ($29.98 is just the MSRP, and it’ll be gettable for 15 bucks at amazon or your local wholesale club, right? seriously, here!) ---

Great use of a throwaway line from an old episode. ---

Damnit! You are right. I was thinking about Meg! ---

Yeah. During “Emission Impossible” it seemed like at least some of peter’s sperm create evil babies, so Stewie being Peter’s son is not a problem in my eyes. ---

It’s probably not the “evil” part of “evil genius” that makes Stewie conclude Peter’s not his dad. ---

I just hope that they leave Stewie’s sexual preference ambiguous. It’s so much more funny when they play off the fact that he doesn’t really know yet. ---
