The One With The Rapture...

[taylorkingston · 10/10 · 20 September 2014]

This episode is just so good. On Christmas Day, the entire Smith family go to church. Like they do every year. Stan and Francine eventually have sex in the janitors closet, because thats the thing you do in church on Christmas. But when the Rapture starts happening, it turns ugly. Hayley, Steve and Klause are all raptured and sent to Heaven. Then, when the priest/minister starts getting raptured, he says something like, "there is a god", which makes it surprising why he's being raptured. When everyone is gone, Stan, Francine and Roger are left below. They don't understand why. Meanwhile, Steve and Hayley are escorted to their personal Heavens. Steve finding out his is a virgin riding a unicorn that poops pepper-jack cheeseburgers. Interesting Heaven. Stan finds out that Jesus will be appearing and he tries to blame Francine for getting left behind, because of the sex-in-the-closet-thing. Francine becomes very angry and decides to leaves Stan, meeting the real Jesus in a diner. Stan finds out that the Jesus he's talking to is a fake. When he tries to make up with Francine she has decided to leave Stan for Jesus. Bummer. Seven years have passed and Stan has become a rouge hunter. But then, Francine is kidnapped by the Anti-Christ and a whole lot of stuff goes down. Overall, I give this episode a 10 out 10. One of the best episodes of the series.

Nearly excellent episode

[bellino-angelo2014 · 9/10 · 3 March 2021]

I was curious about this episode since I became a fan of AMERICAN DAD as it's from the same creator of FAMILY GUY and it's perfect for when you have lunch or you are tired on Sunday afternoons and evenings (and there were many especially during last year thanks to the pandemic). This episode has a score of 8,9 and I told myself ''I have to see it!!''. So on December 2019 I bought the DVD set of this particular season and when I arrived to this episode I couldn't help but have the same opinion as the many other users that rated it.

The episode is set on Christmas. The Smith family arrives late at church at Christmas and Stan and Francine go in the locker room for making out. When they return in the church they notice that everyone has left except their clothes and Stan and Francine go outside for seeing what happened: everybody including Steve and Hayley has been raptured and they are going to heaven. Stan tries to investigate after watching a fake documentary about the Antichrist and he even fights with Francine because of a guy who proclames himself as Jesus. Then the episode moves in another alternate universe where the AntiChrist (voiced by Andy Samberg) has taken control of the world and it's a reign of chaos. Here Stan is a mercenary that joins forces with Jesus and Roger for going to save Francine and all returns to normal and the family is seen going to church and not complaining like they did in the beginning (and Klaus is hung on a wall like the head of a moose).

I think that this episode is so highly rated for the fact that is set on Christmas and also because it deals about a possible war with the Antichrist without offending Catholics (including me and 95% of Italy's population). One of those episodes that truly deserve all the praise.

Should have been the end of the series

[elonmusk-is_a_moron · 9/10 · 10 June 2023]

I personally see it as the end of American Dad as a whole, and not some kind of "non-canon" episode like the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror chapters.

It even gives closure to that "golden turd" subplot that has been keep going on for a long time. Also, since the world ended in this episode, so why not making this the actual end of the series? (To make things weirder, this wasn't even the end of the season, which is frankly absurd)

This was the last great American Dad episode, and the series should have concluded here. For me, this is the "true" finale, and I stopped watching from this point onwards. I personally would recommend any other viewer do the same thing.
