I really like the changes the show goes through from season to season. That and the animation improves with each season too.

 

[Grisby]

Love the commercial transitions.

Edit- Honestly forgot Ray was a cyborg until that run.

 

[vypek]

I wish this was an hour long premiere

Me too.

Good episode. Nothing mind blowing, but it was snappy, light, and a good setup to the new detective agency.

Furlock Bones is a good mascot name.

 

[BatDan]

Looks like the opening shot is going to be the season-long mystery hook. It will be interesting to see where that goes.

So good to have this back.

Loved that. Fun Chinatown/Sunset Blvd. mashup with all sorts of other noir references, jokes came quick and often like Archer at its best. That whole escape exchange was hysterical. "Why didn't you tell us you were bleeding like a Russian princess?!"

I wonder whether the Archer dying flashforward is going to be resolved at the end of this 2 parter or be a season-long tease.

 

[Dan]

That was fun. Seems like the setting and scenario changes will play well, and it sounds like this season is a little more serialized than others, so there's potential in a longer form Hollywood conspiracy.

It spans the full season.

 

[WanderingWind]

"Oh my god, that's all you do!"

lol. More Ray, please, less Archer and crew sucking at their jobs.

 

[Stormwatch]

I bought the season pass on iTunes and I just wanted to point out that they stick commercials at the beginning and end of each episode. What the hell is the point of paying for something and also having to deal with commercials?

So glad Malory's voice is back to normal. Was worried for Jessica last season.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

Love this new season already. Felt it was on a bit of a decline in the previous ones, but at the very least I am glad the characters are back at a level of competency I enjoy from them. Knowing they are pretty good at espionage gives the world a little life to me.

Does the Chinatown homage span the season too?

I think I'd prefer it if the whole season has the Sunset Blvd frame, then within the season they do riffs on different LA crime movies/tv. Take on Heat, Double Indemnity, maybe a Tarantino ep. Highest on my wish list would be The Long Goodbye but the chances of that are slim

 

[vypek]

Forgot to mention that I liked the subtle joke of Ray NOT being paralyzed at the start of the season and the misdirection they used.

 

[Violence Jack]

Dog treats with tranquilizers in them = hush puppies. I died.

Does anybody else think the Henchman who looks exactly like Archer is going to the be the guy in the pool?

Which henchman? I can't recall someone who looks like him.

Yup, first thing I noticed when he stepped into frame.

 

[Cornballer]

Not my captures, but someone put up some stills of the transition screens on imgur in case anyone wants them.

Thanks for the link! Was hoping these would pop up somewhere.

As soon as Mallory said more than two lines I started to cheer. She's like the heart of the show for me.

 

[Dominican Power]

I forgot what happened last season.

 

[Killer Queen]

Really great episode. Looks like it could shape up to be one of the best seasons yet. Hope the quality keeps up.

[Walker_Boh]

Did they say what happened with AJ? Or did she get the Woodhouse treatment?

 

[vypek]

Did they say what happened with AJ? Or did she get the Woodhouse treatment?

She was mentioned but nothing aside from that. Guess we are to assume she is being babysat. I forget, are Lana's parents based in LA?

 

[Dan]

Did they say what happened with AJ? Or did she get the Woodhouse treatment?

Around and/or offscreen at the moment. I saw it mentioned that there will be some stuff based around her this season.

I'm not exactly sure, I just know I saw Reed say immediately that the opening scene is where the entire season is heading.

 

[Cornballer]

I forget, are Lana's parents based in LA?

San Francisco

 

[El Daniel]

Does anybody else think the Henchman who looks exactly like Archer is going to the be the guy in the pool?

Yeah, first thing that crossed my mind when I saw him.

[vypek]

San Francisco

Ah, thanks.

Yeah, first thing that crossed my mind when I saw him.

Didn't even really look at that guys face. lol. Yeah, I can see him being the one in the pool

 

[MrPing1000]

I'm hoping for more smug Cyril. Smug Cyril is best Cyril.. until inevitable soul crushed Cyril

 

[metsallica]

Very weak premiere as far as laughs go but it laid the groundwork for the rest of the season. Hoping it's an outlier.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Good episode. Nothing mind blowing, but it was snappy, light, and a good setup to the new detective agency.

My thoughts exactly. It was breezy and fun but I'm hoping for more laughs in future episodes.

Given the huge similarity, I'm guessing it's just a misdirection given the fact that this mystery is supposed to last the entire season. Otherwise it's way too obvious.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Edit- Honestly forgot Ray was a cyborg until that run.

Same here.

 

[jonno394]

Not the greatest episode, but solid nonetheless. Good to have Archer back. Loved the name that pam says towards the end,

Spoiler

Furlock Bones

probably got the biggest laugh out of me.

 

[IJoel]

I'm halfway through season 6 on Netflix, and it's sooo much better than S5. A return to form so far. Big expectations for S7 already.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Really liked the episode. Also, am I the only one who thought their new office looks like the office from the later seasons of Mad Men?

 

[Alpende]

Dog treats with tranquilizers in them = hush puppies. I died.

I wonder what Archer wanted to say.

Something up with the voice actress?

 

[CoolOff]

Something up with the voice actress?

She was really off last season, as if she had some sort of throat problem.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

She was really off last season, as if she had some sort of throat problem.

I noticed that too. I'm glad she's better (if she was ill).

 

[demosthenes]

Watched it last night, I liked it a lot, but I love this show, lol

 

[Niraj]

Fun premiere. That was some Springfield Gorge quality falling lol

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

Spoiler

Archer and Lana must complete a tricky handoff while the rest of the gang hears the best voicemail ever.
