Well, yeah, but that was in the present day. The next season (despite its title, _Archer: 1999_) is set in the fuuuuuuture!

Hmm. Not long ago that would’ve been a very bad sign but we’ve been getting closer as closer to streaming services being considered a place for flagship tv. I’m not sure what to think of it. I suspect it’s bad but on the plus side this allows them more creative and censorship freedom.

What it means to me is, I’ll have to wait for the Blu ray.

My wife has a Netflix account. So, if Hulu is available on Netflix, we’ll be okay.

I sure do love hearing people who probably pay $150 for cable whine about $6 for hulu.

You mean I don’t have to fastidiously avoid the Season 3 thread for a day after airing because of Hulu’s baked-in delay?

Awesome.

I don’t mind paying for it, but it’s a commitment. When it’s on my DVR it’s there when I’m ready to watch. With Hulu, I imagine, I’ll have to figure out how to get it onto my TV, try to remember my log in info, and search Hulu for what I want to watch. I’ll probably do it, because I like the show, but it’s going to be a pain in ass.

Yep. It’s not the $6, it is the PITA cost. If HULU was available on my cable (not even close to $150) I’d pay the $6.
