Brian's not gone. I'd expect to see Simpson's Poochie make a cameo as they contemplate a replacement. Then the family will either clone Brian, rebuild him ala 6 million dollar brian, robo brian, or something with time travel.

I really hope this is a temp 3-4 episode thing without Brian. The wife and I have been watching the show since the beginning and went through the cancellation crap and all. I love the bits with Brian/peter and stewie/brian. Its the only character with MacFarlane's normal voice too. Hopefully Rarehero knows something the rest of us don't!
Quoted from davewtf:I thought Family Guy went off the air 10 years ago.
It did, but when DVD box sets sold in record numbers Fox brought the show back. I bought them. But I sense you didn't really think that anyway.

Vinny rules. F Brian.

It probably is temporary. DC comics "Killed off" Superman, and then brought him back. The people that make Family Guy won't keep Brian off to long. This is probably a stunt to promote the show. Brian will probably be back at the end of the season, or the beginning of next season.
Stewie can't get the titanium capacitors he needed to build another time machine because his supplier can't get them any more. But if you really pay attention to the episode, there's a hint to who can get them for Stewie. And it sounds like a scenario where it works out well for everybody.
Plenty of dream sequence possibilities
So not worried
They will def show Brian again
It's the one voice that doesn't hurt Seth's voice lol
I just changed my avatar pic in honor of Brian's passing.
Rest in peace buddy! I'll have a drink in your honor...........
I wouldn't worry too much until they bother to change the title sequence. Suppose next week will be pretty telling in that regard.

Quoted from criss:Whats more sad is grown men sit and watch a cartoon
Welcome to 1940 - cartoon aren't just for kids 
Quoted from criss:Whats more sad is grown men sit and watch a cartoon
What's sad is i can't reach the goddamn sperm attack no matter how hard i try it!! 
Uk
Its probably a dream or a fantasy. If you remember a couple of years back there was an episode where Stewie and his mom fought it out until they both died and it was just one of Stewie's dreams.
Quoted from Rarehero:criss said:

I thought that it was a live feed straight from the White House. Now that I know it's a cartoon I'll watch more.
Wagga Wagga
Wow, what a Family Guy episode. There can be no Family Guy without Brian!!!! Even so, I've watched every episode right from the beginning and bought all the DVD box sets. Can't stop watching my favourite show.
Sitting next to girlfriend... Brain: don't let her see you tear up.
In related news.....Must. Own. Family. Guy. Pinball. Machine!

WTF? Am I the only one here that didn't know Rarehero was a director?
Bad cartoon. Bad pinball machine. They should kill the whole show not just the dog. There is not enough weed in the world to make that show not suck dog turds.
Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:This is flawed with eps involving the future of How things are
When Stewie meets his older self Brian died much later in time not while Stewie was a baby
President Doucebag ...
Won't take much for Stewie to cough take samples of Brian's DNA from his casket and clone him
Stewie has made clones before
I'm upset yes dearly BUT I'm sure it was decided and that it is what it is
It's like the Back to the Future 3 FLAW
yeah you read it
Go ahead ask me....
Fine ill tell you Marty goes to 1885 to get doc to come back to 1985
So when he gets there he tears the gasoline
Oh my !!!
WAIT !!
Why not use the Time Machine that is already in 1885 in the mine for Marty to find in 1955
YEAH BABY 2 deloreans are indeed in 1885 at the same time !!
I know it's movie but still use your heads lol
One also has to wonder why, when Einstein goes into the future in the original, there is only one of him when he arrives there... but when Marty, Jennifer (and presumably Doc) do it in BttF II there are two of each of them. Shouldn't they have ceased to exist during the time they jumped forward as Einstein did?

Thanks for your contribution. Have a nice day!

You obviously aren't smoking some of Colorado's finest.

Lois won...Stewie died....and it wasn't a dream, it was a simulation
Quoted from renodakota:Bad cartoon. Bad pinball machine. They should kill the whole show not just the dog.
I absolutely love the show. It's smart and funny. the writers are crazy. The pinball machine is my favorite game. I preordered because it was my dream theme and it having a unique Lawlor layout with an epic ruleset was just icing on the cake.

Cue the 90 second sequence of someone smoking weed, sucking dog turds and saying, "I need more weed!"
Quoted from Rarehero:Watch the opening credits for "Road to the Multiverse"...I put LOTR, Pac-Man & Pinball title cards in there
Can you get a pinball machine in an episode?
Quoted from hank527:Can you get a pinball machine in an episode?
I tried to fit PHOF in Roads to Vegas but just couldn't find an angle. There's a pin in the bowling alley in the STTNG episode (Not All Dogs Go To Heaven).
I have to admit, whether this is real or not, it definitely got people's attention. I love the show, but just don't sit down and watch Sunday night very often (especially not during football season). The ads during football got my attention, and I watched... and now I'll watch next week to see if it's real...
Quoted from Rarehero:I tried to fit PHOF in Roads to Vegas but just couldn't find an angle. There's a pin in the bowling alley in the STTNG episode (Not All Dogs Go To Heaven).
How about a flash back when Peter is in High School playing pinball at a gas station like in the old days. Could be pretty funny 10c machines etc..,
Quoted from Rarehero:Watch the opening credits for "Road to the Multiverse"...I put LOTR, Pac-Man & Pinball title cards in there
Was that the reason you won an Emmy for that episode? 
Quoted from Rarehero:There's a pin in the bowling alley in the STTNG episode (Not All Dogs Go To Heaven).
There's also the Stewie Sesame Street pinball countdown parody in the episode "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz"
Quoted from Rarehero:Lois won...Stewie died....and it wasn't a dream, it was a simulation
i stand corrected
Quoted from sanctumwear:Was that the reason you won an Emmy for that episode?
No, he won it just to remind me that I haven't won an Emmy yet and to let me drool all over it whenever I come over!
Quoted from Rarehero:Cuz he got hit by a car.
That is a brilliant way to kill off Brain, LOL! I mean, he is a dog, afterall.
Quoted from Kevin_LHeureux:Greg did make me into an animated character so I cut him some slack.
What new Rarehero pinball mod have him turn you into an animated character to put on your Family Guy pinball?
Im sure Peter could call death and throw in a favor LOL
Be cool if Brian became Deaths Dog
Greg no royalty needed
Quoted from Rarehero:Watch the opening credits for "Road to the Multiverse"...I put LOTR, Pac-Man & Pinball title cards in there
Since no one else has said it, that has to be one of the coolest jobs ever.
Its just a show dis they really kill of an animated dog for good? And if so does it matter? Here's another thing Kenny from south park dies all the time he's in another episode because its not a continuance show just like I believe Familyguy to not be.
Quoted from juanton:Since no one else has said it, that has to be one of the coolest jobs ever.
Eh, at this point - it's a job... ...but yeah, I shouldn't complain too much - I draw cartoons all day & it allows me to buy pinball machines hehehehe
