Discussion Characters / ArcherMainCharacters

• Five-Man Band: The main characters form one quite nicely even ther are eight of them.
  • Archer is The Leader, "The World's Most Dangerous Spy".
  • Lana is The Lancer, who works closest with Archer and is his direct foil.
  • Pam is The Big Guy, who has superhuman strength, practices bare knuckle boxing and is generally batshit crazy.
  • Cyril is The Smart Guy, who was the nerdy accountant and is The Strategist of the group.
  • Cheryl is The Chick, though her deranged and seductive behavior makes her more The Dark Chick.
  • Malory can also The Leader as she's technically the boss and Mad Scientist Dr. Krieger and Straight Man Ray can also be The Smart Guy.

I have pulled this example as shoe-horning. The first time it referred to Cyril as The Chick, though The Chick must be Always Female, in addition to shoe-horning in Cheryl, Krieger and Mallory despite initially describing the field agents, of which there are five (Archer, Lana, Cyril, Ray and Pam).

The second version, listed here, expands the description to encompass the whole cast, though a Five-Man Band by definition only contains five characters. Additionally, while it's true that Cyril is intelligent, it's rare that this is the role he fulfills, as he is far too neurotic and ineffectual to do much of anything.

The Chick is the heart of the group, the peacekeeper and so on. It's safe to say that Cheryl is anything but. Sterling may be the main character, but his actual leadership skills are severely lacking and his role mostly involves fighting.

Ray, like Cyril, is intelligent and reasonably competent, but only when he can be bothered to actually do his job instead of binge eating or arguing with Archer. His role is definitely not The Smart Guy.

I would like a list of every episode anyone knows of where Pam Poovey dances or farts or fights and/or beats someone up. And I'm not talking about mentionings (with the exception of flashbacks). I want episodes that will actually show it. Whoever obliges will be greatly appreciated.
