Clones! Clooooones!

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

This episode is crazy

@_@

 

[Cornballer]

"I don't know...bird masks?"

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Finally

"Thank you"

 

[Cornballer]

Wow, that was nuts. Part 2 is next week.

"I don't know...bird masks?"

best line of the episode.

 

[ampere]

That was a good one

Archer having less anonymous sex... lol yea. Def getting more vibes that the kid is his

 

[Zeus Molecules]

so just to confirm when the presedente was talking to Mallory he was asking for Tanks and then Poison Gas.... but did Malory pick up on it? Was the joke her realizing what was being asked of her or that she thought he was into some freaky Gas sex?

Also Another great episode.

I need to marathon watch this season. The first episode soured me for some reason and never jumped back in.

 

[Passive Assassin]

It doesn't matter to the stake!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Phrasing, indeed. The whole crew together works wonders. The painting bit was killer. Abstract art can be ridiculous.

Krieger Clones just before one of my favorite new shows returns. I wonder how that will play into his back story or present life.

 

[Niraj]

Great episode. Looking forward to part 2.

 

[lazybones18]

Phrasing is back. Praise the Lord

 

[Sai-kun]

Finally

"Thank you"

The "are we not doing that anymore?" has been killing me, so Cherlene saying it cracked me up.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The Breakfast Club intro was great!

That's three episodes in a row! How row can they go?

 

[Grinchy]

I really liked this week's episode. My only complaint is that "phrasing" has been run into the ground so hard that it's coming up on the other side of the planet.

 

[Demon Ice]

Good lord Laura Cohan....did not know it was possible for a voice to be that attractive.

He said, annoyed at the twist on the joke.

Cherlenes outfit in this episode....

Whoa, I didn't know that was her!

I think the dialogue between Malory and Calderon has been severely under appreciated.

What was that whole gas thing about?

 

[BigAT]

What was that whole gas thing about?

Weaponized poison gas vs. whatever unspeakable sex act Mallory thought he was interested in.

 

[Red]

Tanks.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

"the sinister gay kabal". Neat.

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

Archer Vice: Palace Intrigue: Part II

Spoiler

Archer tries to keep his fling with the dictator's wife a secret; Krieger bonds with his clone-brothers.

I haven't watched any of the new season yet but I just stopped in the middle of season 4 because I just couldn't take all of its good jokes being mercilessly run into the ground. I feel like more so than the previous seasons.

I heard that Archer S5 was different but is it really that different?

I heard that Archer S5 was different but is it really that different?

Some of it is just as bad as S4, and there were some new (unfunny) jokes added to the rotation that seriously hurt momentum until the past four or so episodes, which have been consistently good. The Rules of Extraction is one of my favorite episodes of the series, nevermind the season. Starting with Smuggler's Blues it started to improve (and outside of outlaw country and coke-Pam garbage has been genuinely funny).

It sits alongside S4 as one of the weaker seasons, but there are enough good moments that I'd say it's worth watching (or at least worth watching the good ones).

Off hand, the S4 eps I thought were good:
Midnight Ron (I know it's not a popular choice, but I thought it was great)
Once Bitten
Coyote Lovely
The Honeymooners
Sea Tunt: Part II

I loved the opener for The Papal Chase, but it lost traction after the title sequence. That's it really, the rest I thought were middling (Fugue and Riffs, Legs) or plain bad (Viscous Coupling, Live and Let Dine).

"the sinister gay kabal". Neat.

"cabal"

The actual word, not the MK character.

 

[Grisby]

We are go. Outlaw country for lyfe.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

"Surprise"

Cyril is down

 

[Grisby]

Gonna need some of these slapping gifs.

edit-Paaaaaaaammmmmmm. Pamcakes took a bullet to the tit. Guess that's for all the cocaine jokes this season. Super surprising that she took the bullet thought.

 

[Sadsic]

that was her tit right

 

[Grisby]

Ha ha ha. Alright, I'm a fan of the freeze Archer chasing Pam shot.

Episode definitely picked up in the second half. Cyril getting pissed off at the end there was pretty damn funny.

 

[big ander]

Heh the little slaps runner made me giggle like an idiot

Pretty entertaining, I enjoyed the Lana/Archer banter

Thought Pam got her tit busted at first, forgot about the kevlar

What is up with those Krieger clones... they are funny at least

 

[Zeus Molecules]

The second half of this season has been really entertaining.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Archer was not in control tonight. Put in his place in multiple times and even had a punchline stolen from him. And everyone was literally Slap Happy.


So at least one more? 13 didn't end this adventure.

Edit:

My DVR is off. It recorded a couple of replays, so it's not over just yet.

 

[Cornballer]

So at least one more? 13 didn't end this adventure.

Two more episodes this season.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Right.

 

[Koko]

Two more episodes this season.

This episode being named part two freak me out and I thought it was the season finale and
I was totally disappointed that it didn't feel like a season finale. Then the preview show up and everything was better.

Anyways, great episode.

 

[Niraj]

Loved all the slapping. And the Krieger clones.

"A child."
"A frog!"
"Frog-child!"
"Grrrrr"
"No!"

 

[Matt_]

Brilliant.

 

[Red]

I like the serial format. The whole San Marco plot has been fun.

Malory was pretty shitty about Krieger.

 

[Linius]

Fun episode! The Krieger clones are good, Archer with his gun and the little slaps. I liked it.
