The One That Got Away Review
olamidefada-950-94650517 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Arguably the best American Dad episode I've ever watched, the plotting, twists and voice acting were all top notch. Delving deep into Roger's twisted facade we see he truly is a fractured being, but deep down a decent one. His use of security passwords to cover up his earlier mistakes is a masterstroke. From the off, we're thrown deep into a world of double speak and deceit, but once roger knuckles down and tries to find who is ruining his life, he realizes only one person can be at fault. The reveal isn't obvious, but all the signs are there from the start, the writers do an excellent job to pace the episode. With well timed jokes from his neighbors and showing roger's affections for a store clerk. The length at which Roger decides to go to steal something so trivial is a joy to behold and stamps his character into TV Folklore. The B story ties in minimally, but is passably funny which is what it needs to be as a lot of time was needed to Flesh out the excellent A-story. A definite viewing for newcomers to the series.

The One Where Roger's Persona Takes On A Life Of Its Own...
taylorkingston6 August 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I really love this episode. As you would know, Roger has many different persona's. He likes to play dress up. Including woman, men, children and old people. It's his thing. It's what he does. So it's not that surprising that one of his persona's could take on a life of its own. And that's exactly what happens. Roger thinks his life is being ruined by some random guy named Sidney and he vows revenge. Then Roger's persona Sidney, wakes up and sees what a mess Roger has made. I find it really funny because he's unaware that he's ruining his own life and that Sidney is Roger and Roger is Sidney. It's especially funny when Roger breaks up with Sidney's girlfriend. Nice. This has got to be one of my all time favorite episodes. Overall, I give it a 10 out of 10. Just fantastic.
