Trivia:

When Stewie is talking to himself, he comments on the way his voice sounds as it's been given an echo sound effect. His comment, "Pigs in Space," is a reference to a recurring sketch from "The Muppet Show" (1976).

Quotes:

Ship's Captain: I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to bar you from the aft section of the ship for the rest of the cruise.
Lois Griffin: Oh, we are so sorry. Peter, what the hell did you think you were doing?
Peter Griffin: Lois, it is called the "poop deck." That is why I pooped there.
Ship's Captain: You're disgusting!
Peter Griffin: And you're misleading.

way to go stewie, you finally did it.

My favorite show finally made to its 100th episode, but this is not the only thing that finally happened. Stewie's matricidal dreams also came true.

This episode is about Stewie assassinating Lois,the title pretty much sums it up.

in this episode, Lois and Peter go on a cruise to celebrate lois's birthday. Mad at lois for not taking him on the cruise, stewie decides to finally pursue his long-term dream of matricide. so he decides to kill her as she as soon as she returns from her cruise. Brian scoffs and reminds him how his previous attempts of matricide have failed and that he will never be able to kill lois. In order to prove brian wrong stewie sets out on a matricidal journey to assassinate his mother. that's where all the interesting stuff starts to happen.

although the theme of this episode is murder, it's filled with many hilarious and memorable moments and a twist ending that leads up to the next episode"lois kills stewie". I guess no matter what the theme is family guy is still capable of delivering decent episodes.

family guy is proving that it'll never get boresome, and that its jokes are refreshing and never hackneyed.
