Klaus and Rogu in Thank God for Loose Rocks: An American Dad! Adventure (American Dad!)

Klaus and Rogu in Thank God for Loose Rocks: An American Dad! Adventure is the 5th episode of season 16 of American Dad and the 305th episode overall.

Plot
When the family goes to a dude ranch, Klaus and Rogu have to work together to survive in the wilderness.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The concept of the old west, while good, is unoriginal.
 * 2) It is basically a Rogu torture episode since Klaus frames Rogu for releasing a popular farm animal and then double crosses Rogu when they go out to search for the animal.
 * 3) The episode can’t decide whether Klaus should be rooted for or not as at first he gets angry at Rogu for taking his outfit and becoming popular with it on and then Klaus does some very scummy, disproportionate, and unlikable things to Rogu in the process.
 * 4) Plot Hole:  How could Rogu, a bipedal alien larger than Klaus, who is a small goldfish  fit  into an outfit that is specifically tailored and designed for Klaus to wear?
 * 5) Klaus is unlikable and completely out of character in this episode as he becomes a huge jerk to Rogu.  While he framed Rogu in retaliation for taking his outfit to use in the ranch event, what Klaus does is still disproportionate and he goes as far as to leave Rogu to die in a cave.  It’s as if Klaus channeled Roger’s worst aspects into himself for the episode.

Good Qualities

 * 1) It is somewhat nice to see Rogu again.
 * 2) Rogu is likeable in this episode.
 * 3) Klaus does apologise to Rogu towards the end.

Reception
The episode received mixed reviews from audiences and fans of American Dad. It holds a 5.8 on IMDb, making it the second lowest rated episode on the site.
