Was really that good of an episode?
I couldn't make it past the first few minutes. I have some thing with awkward comedy that I can't listen to so as soon as they start talking to her parents and dealing with the years of lying and having to make up shit and it's SUPPOSED to be awkward, I just stopped watching.

It's always been like that. I will literally plug my ears if I hear a crank call on the radio because I can't stand hearing the person they call getting confused and uncomfortable

Also, If I skip a meal and I get hungry, I start sneezing once or twice a minute until I eat.....

I didn't have that problem with this episode. But I do sometimes have that problem with the show Nathan For You.

I shot people I like more for less.
I liked it much better than the past couple weeks. The tablecloth scene is the kind of thing I can't get enough of lol
 
Loved it so much. Anyone that says best episode of the season is right on target. Their trip out here to the Bay Area was so good. Man do I love their driving scenes these days. They're really exceptional.

Jesus, this season had, until this episode, made me forget how ridiculously strong Pam is. She was just pulling what had to be 4+ tons of weight up a hill.

So, I actually wanted to do the math of how much weight Pam was
pulling when they made her pull the van. A van that size by itself would be about 2.5 tons (5,000 lbs) adding additions from Kreiger, I'd estimate it to be a straight 3 tons (6,000 lbs). Next, add the weights of each person in the car, Kreiger and Cyril are about 160 lbs each and Charyl is aboout 140lbs, which adds another 460lbs, plus the five full sized bowling balls, 16 lbs each, which adds another 80 lbs. Altogether that's 6,540 lbs Pam was pulling. In edition, she was pulling uphill, by a rope around each shoulder (no harness) with the break on for a short time. Lets also notice that the wheels were still spinning with the breaks on, meaning she was pulling with such intensity, that she FORCED the wheels to spin (just going to guess that the grip on Krieger's tires are insane for that to even be possible). I know Pam is stronger, like really strong, but at that point it's just super human.
Which makes me wonder, how does anyone have the strength to take her down?

The animation has come so far from season 1, so much more fluid better framed!

Yeah, the animation is legitimately amazing now. This is my favorite bit of animation from season 1, it's so terrible. Even with the low standard of animation for the show at the time, I still wonder how it made it in.

The episode was amazing, but it would have been better without the pam and co subplot. I just want more Archer with the Kanes.

I watched the episode from season three where Archer and Burt Reynolds are chasing after the rest of the ISIS crew and the difference between that car chase and the one from this week is night and day.

Last week I started to rewatch the whole series and at this part I was like:

"Holy shitballs, the animation was shitty at the beginning!"

Respect the show even more now.

Oh wow, I forgot how bad this looked. Glad to see they've stepped things up considerably.

Agreed, to an extent. It could have easily been a hilarious subplot, but there was barely anything to it. In fact, I've been feeling that a lot, lately; is it just me, or have the episodes gotten shorter? Either way, I liked this episode overall, even if it's built on the old sitcom "pretending someone is something different to appease parents/boss/lover" premise. The whole bit with Archer thinking the Kanes were pulling him into a 3-Way was hilarious.

Oh man, this most recent episode was God-tier. I was laughing from the moment Archer had like 6 flasks in the airport security. Doubled over at the Susan B Anthony line. Dear lord
 
I have to say, that episode was definitely a return to form for the show. Had me rolling throughout.

I do miss Malory though. And I can't seem to warm to Slater for some reason.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Whoa, that was borderline porn.

Poor Ray.. soon he'll be full cyborg like Barry.

Fun episode. Mallory doesn't seem like shes been in this season a lot though. I could do with a bit more of her.

Good call on Ray.

Yeah, that was more explict then I thought it would be.

The animation on that kiss beforehand was kind of impressive.

How long before Ray gets a bionic hand?

Also, I'm liking the Archer/Lana dynamic.

3 episodes at most. I wouldn't be surprised if he has it next week though.

I love the dynamic they have. Based on the preview for next week it seems
like they will actually be a full on couple. Which has only really been done before the series started. I'm gonna miss them being together when they are eventually separated. But the dynamic they have of always loving each other and sort of being connected/"stuck" with each other is great. Especially when they try to deny their feelings

Yeah, that was more explict then I thought it would be.

The animation on that kiss beforehand was kind of impressive.

They've been killing it with animation this season. The avalanche, tablecloth, car chase scene in California, kiss as well as some of the fighting animation has been pretty impressive. I wonder if doing that "bottle episode" helped them out in some way
 
The animation this season has been stunning, especially the car chase last episode. Also the one where they were in the Alps was amazing.

Love the 'YYZ' reference behind Kreiger tonight. And the Rush van last week.

Hey, anyone know if there are "posters" for all the Archer seasons like in the S5 and 6 OPs? I need to save them all off, they are awesome!

Edit: Sweet, there are. I may have to actually get them as real posters. So awesome.

I've seen some for season 3 specifically and some others.
 
Those are awesome tempest3, thanks! Man, this searching for posters has led me to a whole pile of stuff I never knew I needed -- Archer lunchbox, please!

No problem :) Once in a while I check around for new wallpapers since I love the artwork so much. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a place where you could design a lunchbox using these wallpapers though.

They nailed it with the animation this episode. This was also one of my favorite episodes in general from the season thus far.

Seeing their dynamic next week should be interesting.
