Gears of the Beast Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 That was a pretty solid episode. As I said I have mixed feelings about the whole cyborg Barry storyline but at least it looks like they're going to mix it up a bit now - seems like Barry's abilities are going to be seriously hindered. I just wanted more Krieger from that episode. I guess the thing with Lana and Cyril is going to be picked up next episode because that never went anywhere.

Jabronius Maximus Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Terminator references aside (and there were plenty), I thought that was a cool/creepy ending with the Fargo TV theme music playing, and fading to white. Also, Allison Tolman (aka Molly Solverson) voiced Pam's sister. Anyways, this was another solid episode. I'm really digging this season.There was also the fact that Barry (or Bear-y) wore Bears gear, and got blown up in his visit to Green Bay. How subtle...

red snow Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 While stagnant character evolution is usually a bad thing, I think it does tend to work better in comedies over dramas. Pam reverting back to type is also far more enjoyable. It's maybe frustrating for the showrunners but I'm pleased they backtracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Pretty great episode. I would have liked more of a conclusion on Cyril-Lana, but that's a really minor point. The last two episodes have been really fun, I hope the trend continues.As I said I have mixed feelings about the whole cyborg Barry storyline but at least it looks like they're going to mix it up a bit now - seems like Barry's abilities are going to be seriously hindered Agreed. I'm not the biggest Barry fan and the cyborg plot was going stale. I thought he was much better as Archer's punching bag (Pele of anal gets me every time still). This episode however was a great step up. Great animation and Barry wasn't annoying. Although, I do think the writer shot himself in the foot here. If Archer ever ends, it will be hard to top that ending imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Maybe not the best, but I thought this was the funniest of the season. Great one-liners, and the Untouchables reference at the end. Those last couple seconds with Cyril jerking off were golden lolFor a bottle episode I thought it was awesome.

Spring Bass Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That was a fucking awesome episode, one of the first in a long while where I immediately watched it again. I love the "bottle" episodes where they get the whole cast together to play off each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Bass Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Honestly, it might be my new favorite episode at this point. I've re-watched it four or five times already and still like it. I think it's because it's such a good "bottle" episode that plays off the character traits regardless of any broader season plot, something that one of the other really good episodes of the series - "Lo Scandalo" - had as well. I miss the old Krieger, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. There's been a lot of great Archer episodes, but this is definitely top 10 for me. Maybe top 5. And Lo Scandalo is absolutely in my top five. The episodes where everyone can bounce off each other, instead of being split into A and B (and sometimes C) plots are the best. Even before this episode, this season was moving up my list, but with it, I think right now its my second favorite season already. Going seasons, 2, 6, 4, 1, 5, 3.

A True Kaniggit Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 WTF? My DVR messed up and didn't record this weeks episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Archer's half ass monologue is one of this season's highlights. This was great up until that 'reveal'. Lana's plan could have resulted in the actor's death if Archer gained control of the situation - even AJ was in danger because Archer was driving drunk. I thought it was very manipulative and a cop-out ending, which ruined the episode for me.Hopefully things can head back in the right direction next week.

Lord Flashheart Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think Kevin...Rodney? May be a reoccurring character after tonight's reveal of what he has been up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Flashheart Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 One of the highlights of the ep for sure, hope they take him downI don't know. Rodney is undefeated in interactions with just about everyone at ISIS..is it still ISIS? Anyway. I think he may be a tough cookie. Unless Cheryl is throwing around hand-jo's.

Spring Bass Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Not too fond of that reveal - it seems unusually risky for Lana. What if Archer had overpowered and killed the actor? That seems so likely as to be almost probable. Not surprised Rodney is doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Agreed. It was a great episode up until the reveal. That part was dumb and seemed very out of character for Lana (unless that wasn't the real AJ, but rather a Kreiger cyborg; too bad that wasn't in the reveal). Considering that the actor did shoot him, twice, I was hoping Archer would enact some sort of revenge anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
