Anyone interested in some 'Brian is not dead' theories?

Brian's not dead.
Perhaps the title of this journal should have been 'How to get people to start watching a show that has clearly jumped the shark a long time ago'.
Exhibit 1. Brian's interest in the broken metal return pad. Who's to say he hasn't learned anything from being around Stewie since his birth?
Exhibit 2. The wooden return pad. Still in Stewie's backpack. It wasn't among the trashed parts of his time machine. I didn't see it in the trash compactor either.
Exhibit 3. Stewie's reaction to Brian's death. I'd have thought he'd be much more upset losing his best friend, but he moved on awfully quickly. And he didn't pursue the missing part to rebuild the time machine very hard either.
Exhibit 4. Vinny? A Soprano's reference, really? Seems like a good way to 'cut to black' in a future episode to get rid of him.
Exhibit the rest... Past episodes show that there can be multiple versions of both Stewie and Brian across time and even universes. Like the episode where they went 'back to the pilot'. Road to the Multiverse. Road to Vegas where 2 stewie's and 2 Brian's existed in the same time period, just different locations and circumstances.
In conclusion, I'd like to say that killing off Brian is just their way of seeing who's still watching. What I predict in future episodes is probably references to the movie, 'The Time Traveller's Wife'... Probably where we see a past Brian appear in a future beyond his lifetime. That might motivate Stewie to work harder on getting his buddy back to him.
