Definitely an awesome episode. Of course, I'll be honest with you movie and television viewers-there have been more interesting episodes-however, it's the gags, as always, that really make the episode enjoyable. I absolutely loved Stewie's moment-"Yes, when you're ready come talk to me sweetheart, I know what it takes to be cool" and his whole "Rocket Man" performance-God, I love him.

The stories about Chris and Peter, Meg and Lois actually aren't that bad-real family time stuff. I'd definitely recommend this episode for someone who had never seen family guy before, because it really sums up the entire family and values of the Griffins (and the TV show itself) in a nutshell.

In a word, awesome.

Mysterious Ways is totally underrated!! I remember watching it in Australia, it used to be prime time Wednesdays, then prime time Saturdays, and finally weekdays at 12pm. Too bad.

Great story lines, great acting and human context and I really enjoyed the script. I can understand that many of the special effects were slightly elementary, however, I think that the creators knew that as well, which is why many of their story lines stuck to human mysteries guiding them through the episode.

I apologize if that didn't make sense.

Anyways, I think that Mysterious Ways had potential to go much further than it did, maybe the time just wasn't right.

Supernatural was definitely the hit new TV show in Australia for 2005. I loved the mixture of horror, comedy and drama within the show. Both Jensen Ackles and Jared Paladecki played their roles well, and I have to say my favorites part of the show was not just the great Supernatural threats they faced each episode but rather watching their relationship as brothers and as young men play out. Dean, the seemingly 'flaky' one is seen growing through the series as simply a vulnerable young man seeking approval from his father. Sam is the more rebellious son who is more like his father than Dean is and unlike Dean isn't afraid to question his Dad about what's going on. You can tell that everything John has done is for the good of his son's, yet at the same time he was selfishly motivated to seek revenge on the demon that killed his wife. Because of this motivation, his parenting skills probably aren't as ...healthy as they could have been. Overall this is just an awesome show. I've read about the season two story lines and I cannot wait until we get them here in Australia.
