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? ---

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.
