> [@Mr.Miskatonic](#): > > The Chozen ads did everything they possibly could to make me not want to watch it. I really wanted to watch/like it, because the art style said, “This is just like Archer!” Sadly, everything other than the art style said, “OMG, this is going to suck!” I made the right decision, I think. ---

His legs got shorted out at the end of the last season. Why they haven’t been fixed I dunno. ---

I simply _must_ have an mp3 of that version of “Baby Please Don’t Go” that Carol/Cheryl/Cherlene sang during the Archer Vice segment. ---

You are in luck **Smapti** , Archer is releasing a country-western album this season for sale on itunes. ETA: really. ---

Am I the only one that thought that none of that montage was going to actually be expanded upon? I thought those were all the scenes we were going to get of those escapades, then they were going to fast forward to “present day” after all that happened. ---

I thought those were all the scenes we were going to get of those escapades, then they were going to fast forward to “present day” after all that happened. That’s what I thought too. It’s kind of a bummer that they’re spoiling the season like that. ---

I don’t think those specific scenes will be in the season (I could be wrong) and thought it was more akin to the “Next time on…” gags where they show stuff that never actually occurs within the continuity of the show. In other words, they’ll definitely be a drug cartel and some of the broad plots might be used (Cheryl being kidnapped, let’s say) but not those exact scenes. Just my guess though. ---

Might be, might not be. Adam Reed is still writing the back half of the season, so some of it may or may not be used. I’m stoked to hear that Kenny Loggins recorded a country duet version of “Danger Zone” with “Cherlene”. ---

When that was written, we wrote this trailer, and then it was all sort of place-holder stuff, and I thought, oh yeah, we’ll get to that and somebody will be kicked out of a helicopter at 3,000 feet. So we said, “We’ll wait and we’ll finish the trailer, because we’re going to need the existing footage and blah blah blah.” Then it turned out that almost none of the things in the original trailer as written wound up in the season. So we went back—and I guess how they make real trailers—watched seven episodes and used footage to put in the trailer. And hopefully, it does look very similar to what it traditionally has, but with enough of a change to be interesting. Anew.

Anybody else find it strange that the voice of Kreiger (Lucky Yates) has made it into the opening credits while the voice of Ray (Adam Reed) has not? Seems to me the latter is a more central character than the former these days. ---

I’d say the new season’s off to a pretty good start. Loved how they were all ratting each other out to the FBI after Mallory gave them strict orders to shut the hell up. And I presumed she was later talking to the President - or maybe the FBI Director? Favorite lines: “Can’t you just put it on my… crime tab?” “I thought you were going to shoot me.” “The day’s not over.” “But for the rest of us, trapped in the realm of possibility…” “And for what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure I just invaded Laos.” The montage at the end was fun - I thought it was all just stuff from Archer’s imagination, too, but thanks, **Cheesesteak** , for setting us straight. ---

The montage at the end of the first episode was hilarious. I’m actually disappointed to know that it was made up of actual scenes from the rest of the season. Based on this week’s episode, the joke won’t play as well over the course of a whole season. Especially now that we know much of what’s going to happen.
