To pass the time until then, feel free to look around (and post) here: Favourite "Archer" lines - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board
Fort Kickass…in Space!!
Sploosh, I say. Sploosh!
are we doing phrasing anymore?
On Netflix? Netflix dropped it and then I got sad for a long time.
I need to catch up on Season 9
This is how you get Ants!
Jesus, what’s my dowry, tetanus?
I shall be watching in my slightly darker black tactleneck.
Wait a minute… I had something for this…
Crap - I did not perform a thread search correctly and made a season debut post.
Mods feel free to delete my other post and accept my apologies.
And on that note:
YES! Can’t wait to see this!
No worries. I’ve PM’d the mods. Thanks.
Saw the first ep and liked it, although there weren’t as many belly laughs as early *Archer *seasons. Good setup, though, and the dynamics of the ex-ISIS gang are just as bitchy and predictable as ever, even in spaaaaace. Nice touch to have Babou the Ocelot on the starship Seamus crew patch. And great to have Barry back as a mob-boss robot!
I liked spotting the many sf homages:
Alien/Aliens - the starship bridge’s design and hypersleep capsules; Krieger as an Ash/Bishop android
Battlestar Galactica - the laser cannon
Star Wars - defending against attacking fighters
Firefly/Serenity - Ray as an onboard courtesan
Fantastic Four - Pam as the Thing
I vaguely recall the initial little floaty-hologram Malory computer program as being from an sf show, movie (Tron?) or videogame, but can’t place it (or her).
Any others?
“Mother” was also the name of the AI from Alien that controlled the ship while in the crew was in hypersleep and what Archer calls Mallory.
Promising start after the terrible season 9.
Ah, yes! Good one.
I’ve now seen all of them so far this season. The one with Pam’s egg-laying alien “sandwich” reminded me of ST:TOS “The Other Side of Paradise,” with the spores which released all inhibitions, or the virus from “The Naked Time.” And the giant space octopus that swallowed the *Seamus *of course was a lot like the giant space worm of The Empire Strikes Back (bonus points for the Mynocks-chewing-power-cables reference). I’m enjoying this season, although I have to say Archer: 1999 just isn’t as deliriously funny as the first few seasons.
Favorite lines:
"And they called me mad!"
“Who did?”
“Huh? I guess I just assumed.”
“I’m writing what I’ve always dreamed of - a rock musical about the Teapot Dome Scandal!”
“I don’t wanna live in a world where Cyril’s cool.”
“What’s the worst that could happen dot dot dot?”
“We just might die of chafing.”
“Woohoo! Suicide cult, here I come!”
I think this season is better than last season, but still not peak Archer. One thing that helps is that they dropped the whole Archer in a coma plot; it’s just Archer in spaaaaace! if it’s funny, they could do this with any genre, Archer in the Old West, Archer in a fantasy setting, but it has to be funny.
There was also a floaty thing in Automan that would materialize Automan and his Lamborghini and other stuff, but a moment’s thought shows that the visual style there was simply tantamount to Tron.
Is Archer not in a coma anymore? I thought these last seasons were a kind of Incident at Ox-Bow Bridge, although I would like a happy ending for Archer, Lana, and their baby.
