“Crushed by an off-brand drink machine … just like that old gypsy woman said!”

Maybe I’m dumb, but I’ve been _loving_ the last few episodes.

I could really do without the tie ins to random other animated series. I preferred it when you got jokes because you knew what Chekhov’s gun was. What next, the adventure time crossover? A decent episode despite the crossover, not because of it.

Ok, I’m a bit confused.

It seems as if John Hamm was insane and didn’t have any nerve gas or even men. If not, why did Cheryl/Carol’s brother tell the group that he had 2 score down there? Was he just going by what Hamm told him?

He originally did, but they all left when the pay stopped.

Something something Danger Zone. I know, it’s like I’m not even trying.

The tie-ins aren’t random. They’re animated series that starred H. Jon Benjamin (Bob’s Burger, Lucy Daughter of the Devil) or are made by the same creative team (SeaLab 2021, Frisky Dingo).

> The ep seemed to be continuing the theme of the entire season - evolving the characters. Cheryl’s insightful, Lana has an epiphany, and Archer continues to work thru his biggest issues: Mallory, Lana, his missing father, alligators. Weird that drinking isn’t in there. 🙂

I’m new to the series (only seen four episodes) but I’m already getting the impression that as far as he is concerned, that’s a feature, rather than a bug.

Drinking isn’t in there? Is that a thing?
