Archer

Stranger things have happened...

Something that I didn't notice until AV Club pointed it out: Lucky Yates was Promoted to Opening Titles! Hopefully this means we'll have a lot of Krieger this season.

I hope we get more Krieger too. It'll be interesting to see where they'll take the character now that he has no "official" lab. Personally, I don't think it's gonna stop him at all.

If anything, he's going to put all the corpses that are sure to start building up to good use. Or he can just go full Heisenberg and create ultra pure coke.

I thought the same thing, it's high time Breaking Bad had a decent parody!

Archer: Science Bitch!

I really liked the montage at the end. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

When I saw that Krieger was introduced in the opening credits, I felt sad that Ray is the only regular Isis Agent that isn't in the opening credits.

That's funny, considering Ray's had an entire episode devoted to him and Krieger hasn't. Speaking of which, we need a Krieger-centric episode!

Did anyone else besides me notice that the head F.B.I. agent is voiced by Harvey Birdman?

I presume Ray's not in the credits because he's played by the show's creator, Adam Reed. I'm not sure whether that's out of modesty or some sort of regulation on the part of a union or the network or whatever, but that's got to have something to do wit it.

Also, I love that the first question in the AV Club interview Reed did was "how did you manage to edit the music to get Kreiger in there?"

Huh, turns out they were serious about the whole Archer Vice thing, awesome!

Only problem with Archer Vice is that once you start dressing up "Duchess" in pastel shirts the next thing you know he'll be kissing...

Oh well, it's happened already.

So Pam did get addicted to Cocaine, as predicted. And are all the climactic action scenes in this season going to be accompanied by Cheryl singing country music? Anyone want to bet that the counterfeit money they ended up with is going to become a Chekhov's gun?

Well, counterfeit money does have its uses. You could use it to dupe a couple of dumb idiots.

Okay, for anyone who hasn't seen the episode yet I'd recommend watching the season one episode "Honeypot" as the new episode is basically a sequel to that one.

I love the new Vice title sequence. It reminds me of artwork from GTA Vice City, among other things.

So, new episode. Blatant Japanese stereotypes aside, 'twas quite entertaining. Pam('s drug addiction) is beginning to seriously annoy me, though. It's a lazy joke, and every time she screws things up for the rest, I'm left wondering why they keep her around, since she doesn't really do anything useful.

Blatant Japanese stereotypes made it all the better.

So wait, how are Archer and Lana out of ammo now? They never fired a single shot last episode. Also, I guess that we have confirmation that insanity has a long history in the Tunt family.

Its starting to look like each episode the ISIS crew is going to lose more of their cocaine to the the point that one day they're completely out of the stuff.

Yeah, Pam's starting to really annoy me. Though for some reason she has been since Season 2. She's starting to feel like a Creator's Pet to me. I mean if I was one of the ISIS crew, I would have gotten tired of her shit and put one in her ear. Harsh but she is a liability.

Just recently revisiting this show up to the latest episode - I can see why you'd feel that way about Pam - someone needs to get her off that crap, quick - not just because I wouldn't go eating that stuff raw, either.

Overall, while I do like this show, I guess there's a reason for me not rerunning it too much, though it's not because of what you're pointing out, justifiable as it is (As it is, rerunning a show like this isn't easy to do as it is, thanks to its ongoing story, which needs to be followed carefully and consistently - I guess I'm not that huge a fan of shows like that, anymore... Oh well.).

I found it refreshing to rewatch the first season. That's not a good thing for the current show.

Well, if that's a sign this show may need to end soon - oh, well. Better to end it before it gets really bad, right?

Pam's going to eat all the cocaine, isn't she?
