That sequence, while absolutely terrifying, is one of the coolest animation sequences I've ever seen. I do think it's strange that Brian had a bad trip on shrooms instead of acid. I've never done LSD but I have done a lot of shrooms and while I have hallucinated a few times while tripping, I've never seen anything like that. I feel like what Brian experienced was much more of a bad acid trip than a shroom trip.
The stuff with Meg started out great. It was tough to watch but I actually love it when Family Guy is brave enough to show real conduct, especially within the family. Meg has been the butt of jokes since the beginning, and it's great to see her finally stand up for herself. But it goes nowhere. No one learns any lesson. The fact that she realizes that she exists solely to be the punching bag of the family was a massive disappointment. I would've loved if there had been an actual change and they decided to lay off her a little bit. You could still do the Meg jokes but they wouldn't be so mean to her as they did in the past. It was getting tedious.
So yeah the Meg stuff doesn't go anywhere and it's disappointing. But the Stewie/Brian story is wild. It's violent and gory but like I said, that particular animation sequence of Brian experiencing this nightmare trip is just incredible. Also, seeing Stewie comfort Brian is so nice and I wish they did more of that. They have such a weird dynamic. They love each other but Brian can be such a jerk to Stewie and Stewie literally almost killed Brian a few times. They're the best part of the show.
