He somberly tells her that the thing she told him the day they signed their divorce papers - well, he can “see it now” and apologizes for taking so long. You’ve had time!! After the ladies wisely kick Kevin out of the room, Kate receives a call from Toby. “Katoby” kicks off at that flash-forward to Kate’s wedding to Philip in which Kevin wants to know if he can make a Princess Bride joke in his toast, which like, get some better material, dude. How many more times can we talk about how clear it is that these two people now make each other miserable? I guess one last time. But also, Katoby has been DOA since the start of the season and we’ve had several episodes now that have tracked this relationship’s demise, yet here we are, wringing out one last drop.
It is full of moving, emotional scenes, both heartbreaking and hopeful. As the title would suggest, “Katoby” focuses on Kate and Toby’s marriage, specifically its end, while also giving us a glimpse into what awaits these two after their marriage. Sometimes tired in a good way, sometimes tired in a bad way, and sometimes both! Like, take this 100th episode, for example. I don’t know about you folks, but I am tired. It’s not quite perfect, but it’s a definite improvement on last week’s appalling attempt at story-telling without the aid of adequate cutaways and gags.This is the 100th episode of This Is Us! Can you believe it? We’ve watched 100 episodes of this emotional torture (I say that with so much love!!) and have lived to tell the tale. Again, the story wasn’t its strongest point and it seems that timing is an issue – time and time again there is just too much content for a 20-23 minute episode. They have clearly tried to stick to what they know best in terms of writing terrific gags and jokes. Mom’s The Word was actually a decent effort from the writers of the show. One joke criticised the way that people use Facebook to seek attention after a loss, and another showed Peter fighting off surrounding colleagues asking him to sign up to events when he was on his way to the bathroom.
Most of these gags were great because they were typical of Family Guy. The gags came thick and fast, ranging from some pretty controversial jokes about how paedophiles try to seduce young children, to the downright ridiculous – one cutaway shows the early design for a hybrid car with a rapist sign attached to the front door. This is because of the abundance of great jokes and gags. Mom’s The Word is definitely an improvement on last week’s episode.
Disappointed with the futility of life, Stewie tries to commit suicide, before Brian saves him and helps him figure out how to live. This proves more difficult than Brian imagined, especially after a visit to a Rabbi who doesn’t answer any of Stewie’s questions. Stewie becomes afraid of the prospect of death, so Brian helps him seek out religion to find the answer. The sub-plot focuses on the theme of death, as Brian and Stewie converse about this topic at Thelma’s funeral. Naturally, Peter is disgusted by the whole thing. Unfortunately, their relationship is tested when Evelyn falls in love with Peter. They instantly hit it off, and Evelyn becomes a mother figure to the now motherless Peter. Shortly after the funeral, Peter is introduced to Evelyn (voiced by the late Lauren Bacall), an old friend of his mother’s. Thelma’s death leaves Peter parentless – although his biological father is still alive, he lives in Ireland, and isn’t really there for Peter.Īfter a difficult day at work – Peter soils himself at work after eating too much raw cookie dough and a burrito that he found in the parking lot – Peter arrives home and hears of his mother’s death.
This week, Peter’s Mother dies after having a stroke. Weed were killed off too soon, and other characters like Loretta Brown definitely overstayed their welcome. Over the past ten years, Family Guy has killed off quite a few characters.
