‘Oh,
I can't believe it! I'm going out on a date with Kent Lastname!’
|
Episode 7 is all about
Meg. I find the ones focused on Meg bring out the best in the
meanest, funniest comedy double act Stewie and Brian. This episode
is a little piece of double act gold in the first half of the episode
before it turns a little darker.
Brian and Stewie get hold
of Meg’s diary. Amongst some gross out entries poured on the page
they also discover that Meg has a crush on a handsome boy called
Kent. She is out of control, and as usual when she locks onto a man,
woman or dog in the past the outcome is only creepy, psycho
obsession.
She finally plucks up the
courage to ask Kent out on a date. Surprisingly he says yes! They
have a wonderful time and Meg lunges in for the kiss, but is denied!
Broken hearted and defeated Meg has to hear the worst news possible.
That Kent is gay, and worse still he has a crush on Chris. Brian
hears the news and relays the message to Stewie but lost in
translation Stewie thinks that Kent has a crush on him!
After trying and failing
to get Kent to turn (showing him a photo of her hairy back was never
going to work). Meg settles for the next best thing. She won’t
ever really experience what its like to sleep with Kent but she can
hatch a plan so Chris does and live vicariously through him. The
plan could work apart from the fact that poor Chris has no clue!
Towards the end this
episode hits a nerve where sleeping tablets and date rape storylines
are implied. This will put off some Family Guy fans who love most of
the humour but feel maybe sometimes the jokes go a little too far.
An average episode over all.
