Barry has repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to kill Archer, whereas Trexler is an easy target [[spoiler:given that he has a KGB mind control chip in his head]], and was a complete jackass to Barry during their time at ODIN.

*Unlikely for all of them to be doing it. Ray has done all sorts of immoral things over the course of the series, so skimming money really isn't a stretch for him. On the other hand, it would be completely out of character for Cyril and Lana to do so.

*Quadroon is an offensive term. That is why she is offended.
*Griffe refers to anyone that isn't pure white (although it is a relatively old term, so it is ambiguous whether it would be applied to Hispanics or Asians, since it was irrelevant in the time and place it was most common). It isn't the opposite of quadroon.

[[WMG: ''BobsBurgers'' will end after the crossover episode.]]
[[http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/08/06/archer-bobs-burger-crossover-h-jon-benjamin/ There's going to be a crossover]] with ''BobsBurgers'', which will be like ''TheBourneIdentity'', where Archer, as Bob, is cooking burgers when he's attacked by thugs and dispatches them, then figures out why he's so good at killing people.

Since this is like ''TheBourneIdentity'' and Archer has been brainwashed into thinking he's Bob, there's not much further ''BobsBurgers'' can go after this.

** That doesn't make sense. Her brother controls her trust, and she said she has to ask him for money ([[NonIdleRich which explains why she has a job]]), so it wouldn't benefit him to kill her. Plus, they weren't going to kill her, they wanted to ransom her back - one of them specifically said she was worth more alive than dead, if she was even worth anything to them dead, so he's not profiting from her kidnapping or death. Their parents also died in a car accident when the chauffeur had a stroke, so involvement on his part is pretty much impossible.

He's constantly suffering horrific injuries that he's fully recovered from in no time, while everyone else suffers for at least a while from any serious injuries -- many of which are caused by Archer either taking absurd risks with, or at least having no concern at all for, anyone's health (including his own), because he [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength doesn't realise]] how unusual his powers are. Still, we know what his AchillesHeel is -- [[spoiler:cancer.]]

Frisky Dingo seems to take place after Archer, since Archer has airships and the KGB, and Frisky Dingo has robot pants. Someone (most likely Kreiger) combined various cast member's DNA to make the ultimate super-spies; Val was an attempt at combining Pam's general kickassness with Archer's physical fitness, and Xander Crews was an attempt at combining Archer's super-spy skillz with Ray's level-headedness and maturity. It didn't completely work, but it did OK. Ronnie is the same guy, who joined the Xtacles to keep an eye on Xander, and Stan is an older version of Krieger.

[[WMG: Lana has the power to make anyone who has sex with her irresistibly attractive]]
Pam was desperate for someone, anyone, to have sex with her, but they all found her hideous. Since Lana threw her a bone out of pity, she's had some sort of sexual contact with pretty much the entire cast, apart from Ray and Krieger: she had drunken sex with Cyril, a threesome with Mallory and that German guy, and of course her (still ongoing as of the end of Season 3) friends-with-benefits arrangement with Archer. She hasn't had sex with Carol/Cheryl yet, but as the above troper's WMG says, it's only a matter of time...

from what we see of Sterling's childhood his interaction with his mother is either neglect or abuse, however throughout the show they have moments of love pass between them. then think about how he treats people around him, he is an abusive prick but for the most part would be lost without them, but Wodehouse the only character Sterling has power over is either neglected or abused for a wrong doing, this is how Sterling was taught to show affection. and if any resolve is gonna come about Sterling's daddy issues its probibly gonna be from his relationship with Wodehouse and not from his relationship with his Mother
