Season 5 is complete garbage. I'll give it a few episodes before I decide if I should even bother

There are some good ones in the second half.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

The new season of Archer always sneaks up on me. Can't wait for this.

 

[Brian Fellows]

There are some good ones in the second half.

And none of them are complete garbage.

 

[Complistic]

There were a couple of just bad episodes last season, but if you're a fan of the show, then there weren't any that were close to unwatchable.

So excited for things to get back to normal though.

I think people get hung up about the plot of the seasons. I don't really care what they are doing; it's just a framework for the characters to be stupid. I wanted to see them spend a whole season just working at the Laundromat on the first floor. No spy stuff at all, just all of them trying to work that job and constantly going off on each other.

I really liked last season.

Can't wait for tonight.

Originally, it sounds like they were going to have them spend all of season 6 in prison, which would have been really great. Don't blame them for going back to basics though.

- Salon review

But what makes “Archer” brilliant is how well it has skewered that self-same image. Adam Reed—creator, showrunner, voice actor, and writer—seems to have composed “Archer” both as a love letter to douchebags and as a set of instructions for destroying them.

 

[Cornballer]

- YahooTV review:

The Emmy-nominated Archer is one of the most satisfying comedies of any sort, its densely packed jokes contrasting with the airy, assured confidence a show achieves when its characters seem so three-dimensionally real to their audience.

 

[Cornballer]

- EW review:

After season 5's dalliance with drug dealing and, um, treason, the irreverent spy series has reset to its espionage roots. Promisingly enough, the whole crew—plus new baby Abbiejean—reconvene in a perfect replica of their blown-up office. All the beloved ARCHER hallmarks are still there too; quick cuts, witty repartee, and recurring gags abound. Grade: B

that baby name..

- Slant Magazine review:

Even as the series begins to show its age, Archer's commitment to character ensures that these episodes never feel too familiar. 4 out of 5 stars

[Rembrandt]

Watching it now. So hyped. I wonder if he has that 20k.

 

[Cornballer]

Inappropes.

 

[BatDan]

That hologram prank

 

[Cornballer]

That's a pretty boss office renovation.

Jesus Kato

rofl

 

[KibblesBits]

This episode has been great.

 

[heliosRAzi]

Way too many commercials

 

[Cornballer]

I can't stop staring at his infected ear.

 

[KibblesBits]

Wow, like 6 race jokes in 15 seconds?

 

[BatDan]

There's the Japanese whorehouse.

 

[Sou Da]

I missed half of it, damn. How has it been so far?

 

[Tamanon]

Makes me dread the joke coming.

 

[heliosRAzi]

That was sweet Archer

 

[KibblesBits]

The final look G-maw throws Milton.

Priceless.

CONWAY STERN!

 

[BatDan]

Wow, seeing Archer do something nice like that was... bizarre. But it was a great moment.

*sees next week's preview* Oh snap!

Spoiler

Conway Stern!

 

[whytemyke]

Awesome episode. And really cool to see Archer just not be a selfish dick for one small moment

Also: "Sneak attack! Typical."

 

[Neoxon]

Awesome episode. And really cool to see Archer just not be a selfish dick for one small moment

It really was, & it was one of the highlights of the episode for me.

Spoiler

Hyped for Conway's return. It was a long time coming.

 

[Grisby]

Dammit, I knew I missed something important tonight. My first missed archer episode in forever. What a day.

Will be watching my dvr during breakfast.

 

[Reseil]

Did the voices sound a bit different than previous seasons? Especially Malory... almost sounded like a different actor in the opening scene.

[LordCanti]

If Kato shows back up and attacks Archer, the season will automatically be a winner for me.

They sounded the same to me.

 

[BigAT]

Malory was the only one I kind of noticed. I hate to say it, but it happens sometimes as actors/actresses get older. Jessica Walter is 73 now.

 

[Nori Chan]

Episode was a little slow to for me until the end picked it up.


Also completely forgot Krieger could be a clone! lol

 

[Neoxon]

Same actors, age is probably hitting them.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

When did Jessica Walter start sounding normal? only part of Malory were there in her voice tonight. Interesting.

The futuristic set was pure cockteasery. Reed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Matt_]

flawless episode

 

[Mohonky]

Malory was the only one I kind of noticed. I hate to say it, but it happens sometimes as actors/actresses get older. Jessica Walter is 73 now.

Yeh Malory sounds way different, maybe she was unwell.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Good episode, glad things are now back to normal. Wasn't feeling season 5, so that automatically makes this episode better. Pam is also back to her normal self, very happy about that.

The office hologram prank was hilarious.

 

[Hamlet]

Pretty good episode. The hologram gag was great. Almost had me fooled for a second there just like Malory ha.
Gotta love Milton.

 

[iMax]

Gotta love Milton.

Wish she smashed the glass at the end.
