Recap

Because of Peter's pure laziness Brian goes to one of Megs PTA meetings. Once there, he meets the most amazing women of his life, who is a teacher at Megs school, and black. In a desperate attempt to impress her on a date, Brian suggests Megs highschool, "James Woods High" be changed to honor Martin Luther King Jr. While spending all of this time with her, Peter feels like him and Brian are growing apart. The Martin Luther King Jr. Idea spreads fast, and Peter isn't happy about it. When it is in the voting process at the next meeting, Peter shows up with the real James Woods. His plan backfires, James is happy with renaming the school in honor of Martin Luther. But it refires when the school, so impressed by Woods modesty, decides to keep the school named after Woods. This makes Brian angry at Peter for destroying his idea, and making him realize the truth, that he was only doing it to impress her. But that doesn't change anything, Brian is still mad, and James Woods fills the spot as Peters new best friend, making Brian jealous. Eventually, Peter and Brian make up, but theres still 1 problem: How do they get rid of James Woods?

Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker) and Michael Dorn (Worf) reprise their Star Trek: The Next Generation roles in this episode.

Episode Quotes
(James Woods sets the box trap)
Peter: That better not be me in the box again or I'll be pissed off!

Stewie: Ah, Brian on a date hmm, that'd be more pathetic than that game of marco polo I played with Helen Keller.

Peter: Boy, I haven't been this creeped out since I saw that episode of Star Trek.
(flashback)
Captain Picard: Number One, if I were to whisper in your ear that Commander Worf's head looks like a fanny, would you join me in a laugh?
Commander Riker: Yeah, I could get in on that.
Captain Picard: All right, here it comes...Commander Worf's head looks like a fanny!
(everyone but Worf laughs)
Worf: You can both suck my ridges!!!
Captain Picard: Oh, get a sense of humor, Rocky Dennis!

Lois: Oh by the way Bonnie, we just finished reading the Davinci Code at my book club, you were right, its terrific!
Stewie: OH let me guess, some flowery 300 page menopausal, masturbatory aid.

Brian: So, uh, where's your good buddy James Woods?
Peter: Eh, turns out he wasn't so good at catching stuff in his mouth. So where's your girlfriend?
Brian: Same problem.
Brian and Peter: Wooooaahh!!

Lois: Peter, I'm off to my book club, don't forget you have to go to the PTA meeting.
Peter: Me? Go to a PTA meeting? What are you high?
Lois: Nah, not anymore, I crashed hours ago. By the way, we are out of chips, cookies, and funnybones. Now, I'm going to my book club and you are going to the meeting.

Brian: Sure I'll take some. God, What is this?!
Adam West: It's creamed corn, I brought it from home. I don't like the creamed corn they have here. It's too crunchy.

Episode Goofs
In the Star Trek gag, Worf is referred to as "Commander Worf" but he wasn't a commander in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Also Crusher and Data are sitting at each others stations.

Quagmire states that he could have a kid out there somewhere, and if flashes to a spanish kid talking to his mother. (Indicating the kid was Quagmires). But, in "Brian In Love" Quagmire says that he "never did a Spanish chick before".

In a deleted scene that appears on 'The Cutting Room Floor' dvd, Troi is picking up images of what Picard wanted to do to her sexually.
Troi's empathic abilities couldn't pick up images, just feelings, she wouldn't be able to "see" that is wasn't lemonade being poured on her.
At most she would only be able to feel Picard wanted to engage in unorthodox sex acts with her.
