* The situation of "Placebo Effect". You just found out the chemotherapy drugs you've been buying from are sugar pills and Zima with the really ones going to the head of the Irish Mob of New York. Oh and it gets worse. Lana states people like Archer have been taking those for awhile now, and Archer even thought that the fake chemotherapy drugs were chewable since kids can get cancer. This means that Delanely has indirectly caused the death of kids that took the fake chemo drugs!

** It worked for me because the whole situation wouldn't have happened if they used the NATO phoentic alphabet. People, it's not that hard to learn. Also, Archer shows great vocabulary using the word mancy. For people curious, the NATO words for M and N are Mike and November.

* The question of how ISIS actually got the cocaine in the first place was never quite answered directly, but in retrospect one plausible answer is [[spoiler:Malory using her phonecall to strike a deal with someone high up in either the CIA hierarchy or the US government itself to sell cocaine for the CIA to forgive the charges against ISIS.]]

* The sudden appearance of the Nazi MiniMecha might come across as contrived, until you remember that Fuchs (Cyril) has known that the idol was made from uranium all along and needed a method to safely transport it, so the Mech was specially commissioned to handle the idol and made combat-capable thanks to a combination of anticipation of the island's dangers and ThoseWackyNazis having a tendency to do that.



* Related above, why are the episodes for Season 11 so much more disconnected compared to ''Dreamland'' and ''Danger Island''? Because Archer is slowly waking up and possibly becoming aware he's in a dream demonstrated by his slow SanitySlippage in the final two episodes.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Tragical History'', Cyril loses the darts game by failing to score two points with his final three throws (basically impossible if you actually hit the board, which Cyril does not). However, Archer, who was the previous teammate to throw, should take the blame for the loss. He threw three bullseyes, which, while impressive, is not the highest scoring spot on a dartboard. Had he thrown three triple twenties, he would have won the game by almost thirty points, negating the need for Cyril to throw at all.

* Lana not telling AJ that Archer is her father. As far back as season 6, Lana was critical of how Archer's belief in his own PlotArmor led him to take irresponsible risks without considering his responsibilities as a father. This culminated in season 7 with his affair with Veronica Deane. Even though he ''knew'' that she murdered Ellis Crane right after he had sex with her, Archer still screwed around. He allowed Lana to be ''arrested'' on false charges just to annoy her. Then he went to confront Veronica with only one of Kreiger's buggy androids as backup. This resulted in him getting shot and being in a coma for three years. How would she have even explained that to AJ while he was in a coma or after he woke up? As reckless as Archer is, Lana has good reasons to not want AJ to become too attached to him, since he could get himself killed with just one stupid decision (and nearly did).

* The reason Barry shows up so much in the coma seasons, as opposed to other antagonist characters, is because Barry has been visiting Archer in the hospital.

\n* Barry being the first to ask Archer about his physical therapy, and being supportive of Archer's progress makes perfect sense. Before becoming a cyborg Barry himself would have gone through his own physical therapy after both times he fell off a roof.

* Barry apparently pulling a genuine HeelFaceTurn [[spoiler: ([[AmbiguousSituation that Lana hopefully didn't ruin]])]] actually makes sense when you remember the Figgis Agency's last encounter with him before Archer's coma. They successfully located his birth mother and (not-so-successfully) gave him a new skin, where he leaves on more friendlier terms than usual and even thanks them for their work.

** Even worse, Lana apparently took a page from Malory's book and sent A.J. away to boarding school, in Switzerland, ''at age five!'' While she rationalizes it as getting A.J. the best education in the world, the fact that she only had A.J. in the first place as TheBabyTrap for Archer suggests that Lana got rid of her so that she could focus on her spy career and new marriage to a billionaire!

** ''1999'' has every episode soemhow somehow be tied back into Archer's self-centerness and how it negatively impacts the rest of the cast.cast. Notably unlike the the past two seasons, the episodes are less connected like the early seasons and Archer himself seems to be his most pre-Character Development self here.

to:

* Archer has been in a coma for three years which is bad enough but he's a father to a (no longer presumably) infant girl, meaning he has missed out on her most formative years. Possibly, she doesn't remember or know who he is and now that Lana has entered a relatuonship with another man in the meantime, this means that she could think ''he's'' her father and not Archer.
