Alright pack it in, I refuse to watch this show without Jessica Walter.

Man, it's gonna be sad hearing Malory's voice one last time.

End of an era. Archer is one of my favorite shows of all time. I'll be sad to see it go. RIP Jessica Walter and George Coe. sad

Has anyone involved with the show said this would be the final season? One might think that is the case given Walter's passing, but I don't see anything in that trailer touting this as the final season.

[up]No one has (at one point the creators were saying 10 would be the final season but they walked that back), and they haven't said how they plan on moving forward.

There's more than a few ways to write around it (And potential recast, though I don't think that's a good or likely idea.).

How would they write around it? All I can think of is a Time Skip to after Malory dies of old age (or liver failure, like Cheryl/Carol predicted earlier.).

Seeing Archer or Lana running the agency, possibly with an older AJ as a badass spy would be fun.

Was a good two premiere episodes. I liked the second one better.

Remember when ODIN was a competing spy agency in the early seasons? And now it's been killed offscreen and replaced with the IIA, and I don't know what hat stands for. I'm not actually bitter, after years of this show I've learned to accept that each season is going to retool the premise considerably.

[up] Probably stands for Immigrant Intelligence Agency, or Illegal Intelligence Agency, or something along those lines.

Fun fact: In Syndicate, one of the rival synidactes in the manual is the I.I.A. or Independent Intelligence Agency, which is the CIA after turning into a criminal syndicate/MegaCorp.

Also, Isis was such a nice, succinct name, really good for a spy agency. Unfortunately reality had to ruin it.

Has the UN representative from the most recent episode appeared before? Because she seemed to have quite a history with Lana.

I think she was in last season's finale, but it was kind of a blur for me. I definitely remember her from somewhere.

God, I love the tactle cane.

So that was Archer's first mission, huh?

[up] I'm guessing the next season will involve the death of Malory Archer, assuming she doesn't die by the end of season 12.

So, it seems like next episode is the season finale? Man that season went by quick.

The cliffhanger ending did feel like setup for a season finale, in retrospect. I didn't realize this was only 8 episodes long until now.

God, I hope Archer gets to kill Fabian by the end of the season. Dude's too smug to live. tongue

And so ends the season... and Malory's role on the show.

I'm glad they were able to write her out without just having her die between seasons or something. Seeing her reunite with Ron Cadillac was unexpected but entirely welcome; I always liked him as a character and was sad when he left the show in season 5.

Also, I guess Barry's in an ambiguous state now; I wonder if he'll "survive" the hard reboot or if he'll essentially be starting over as a blank slate.

The in loving memory and lack of music was tasteful.......so Did they know ahead of time she was dying? Cause the ending having her voiced still implies they knew Malory had to be written off..

If I had to guess, those last two lines of hers were recorded for a different context, and when she died they rewrote the ending but repurposed those lines for her and Ron relaxing on the beach.

That's a pretty fitting tribute to both Malory and Ron's voice actors, if you ask me.
