Family Guy Twist **MAJOR HUGE SPOILER ALERT**

Definitely a shock. He's one of the main 3 characters. Sole of my favourite episodes were the ones with just Stewie and Brian because they had a solid built up relationship and could play off each other. Just won't be the same with the new dog.

Family Guy has been shit for many seasons now to be honest. I was never a huge fan but I always preferred Stewie over Brian anyway, I'll watch the episode but the last time I watched Family Guy it felt like they were really reaching for the jokes.

Brian and Stewie's relationship made Family Guy. I really think this is a nail in the coffin, and I have a feeling that's exactly why they killed him.

Just when you thought that Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane had pulled off what was a shocking moment in killing off one of its, if not its main character.. Now after all the fan petitions and everything, it looks like it could have just been a typical Family Guy swerve anyway..

Spoiler alert for anyone who is totally gullible: Brian Griffin will return to Family Guy. And it probably won't just be in a scene where his lifeless corpse is poked with a stick by Chris. Entertainment Weekly broke the news that he would pop up again in the December 15 episode, but a late-October news story about Maya Rudolph guest-voicing a character who Brian has a fling with in a 2014 episode was all we really needed as proof that Brian wasn't going to stay dead (unless Rudolph plays some sick necrophiliac with a bestiality fetish). Well, that and common sense.

But how will Brian come back? With Stewie's time machine dismantled and unfixable, how can he prevent what has already happened? The description for the December 15 episode includes this foreshadowy tidbit: "Meanwhile, Stewie comes up with a plan to get the one thing he wants for Christmas." Short of world domination, that one thing is likely getting Brian back. Here are a couple of ideas:

•Fix the time machine! He built it once, he can build it again. Then WAM POW ZAP it's back to just a few moments before Brian got run over, Stewie has him step to the left a little, and then everyone continues on with life like nothing happened.

•Pet cloning! This is happening in the real world, guys. Like, dead pets are being cloned from tissue of the deceased and their psycho owners are paying big bucks for it. Maybe Brian will end up with a fifth paw or a dead eye, but cloning is real-world science that's happening now! I saw it on Orphan Black!

•Pet Sematary! Notice the 'S' which is the most important detail of pet semataries. Anyone who is a fan of Stephen King knows that pet semataries are entirely real. All you do is bury your dead dog in a plot of a sacred Native American burial ground and voila! The next day you'll have your best bud Mr. Cuddlepants back in your loving arms. He might try to tear out your throat and be horribly disfigured, but such is the price of messing with God's way.

•Find Brian's twin! Fact: Dogs aren't born alone. They pop out of their mama dog with a bunch of other mutts, and sometimes those other mutts look and act exactly like another member of the litter. So Peter goes to Brian's breeder, grabs Brian's brother who was never adopted, puts a bow on him, and chains him to the Christmas tree. He's renamed Brian and everyone pretends that Brian I was never killed. This is also known as the Beerfest loophole.

•It was all a dream/psilocybin nightmare! What if everything that happened in "Life of Brian" never actually happened because Stewie had a nightmare after drinking too much warm milk? Or suffering a bad mushroom trip? Either way, let's hope "it never really happened" isn't the way the show brings Brian back. In fact, it's so silly let's forget I ever mentioned it.

How do you think Brian will make his big return?

Wow that's a lot. I do hope they bring back Brian, I don't care how it's done

He is coming back this weekend.
