Current Events > oh, nice. new Archer tonight

(+) Yeah! (+)

supposedly Adam Reed is done writing, though. not sure what that might mean for Ray.

but, if you stopped watching, this season should be a reset to the S1-S4 shenanigans.

I would hope so. I'd like to see a return to form than all the weird experimental shit that offered no development for the characters.

---

Man, I've been a fan since the beginning but these last few seasons have been very unfunny. Couldn't even make it through this past space season. It's so void of humor that I dont know if it was even meant to be funny.

If this new season ends up being good then I'll finish the space one before hopping back on.
---

I liked all the seasons myself. I get not liking them, though, and I def am looking forward to the return to form.

Season 5 is great though

---

I really thought they'd end it when Adam Reed left. How many seasons does this show have left? I'm not normally the "cancel it" type, but it felt like this show ran 2 seasons too long

+1. S8 is the only one i struggle with, but there're a few good eps in the back half.

at this point? probably up to the ratings, so long as Jon Benjamin or Aisha Tyler don't want to leave.

S1 - S4 is like prime Archer. that shit was so good. S5-S7 is still good, but definitely a drop in quality IMO. S8-S10 are meh

This is exactly what I was going to write

With the slight exception being though that I would extend season 5 to "so good" -- even though it wasn't "prime" in the sense that it had a season long overarching story, but I think it was still solid enough and episodic enough that it didn't really feel like a serialized season.

you guys really didn't like S10? or did you just not want to like S10 because it wasn't "classic Archer"?

I hated all of the dreamworld stuff
---

Were they still doing the dream stuff? I stopped watching whatever season came right before the noire season.

There was 3 years of it

No, I just didn't like it because it sucked.

I actually thought Dreamland was decent, but the bar is pretty low when comparing to danger island and 1999

S1-S4: Classic Archer weekly shenanigans
S5: Drug dealer year
S6: CIA op year
S7: PI year
S8: Archer Noir coma dream
S9: Indiana Archer coma dream
S10: Archer in Space coma dream

S11 will likely either be like S4 or S5. we're not sure how serialized it's going to be, but it's back to being a group of spies.

vice was interesting at first, by the end i didn't care for it

CIA year had potential but was flat the whole time

actually loved the PI stuff was so much fun. the move to LA really helped too

spoilers from here on are for tonight's eps unless tagged otherwise.

ok, the licensed music is weird.

yay, Ray's not dead. though he didn't speak yet.

---

What channel? Does FX even still exist?

---

FXX tonight. two eps now, then immediately replayed a little after 11. Hulu tomorrow, according to the commercials


---

I loved Archer Vice

---

Medussa posted...

Hulu tomorrow,

Aw yeah fuck cable

yay Ray is still Ray

weird confident cyril is weird

---

damn those portentous mumbles. so very obviously

---

loved it. let's do it again!

---

Definitely glad to be out of dreamworld

---

alright, the archer self-own cane has officially been chekov gun'd i already forget what the third device was, too. but it better be held off until the season finale

---

well, so much for being predictable. definitely didn't see that one coming.

---

and we're back to predictable. in all the right ways.

---

also great. anyone who complains about those episodes is just trying to not like them.

sad, didn't know Ron died.

saw an interview with the new EP. Adam not writing at all in S11, but still consulting on the scripts. if tonight was any indication, it seems to be more than a reasonable transition.

So was it good??

yep yep yep

I'll take your word for it and go through the last season sometime this or next week lol
---

some bad news. apparently the hulu version comes with a huge asterisk... you need to have a cable login anyway. gfd, streaming turned into a giant fucking scam super quickly, didn't it?

...or, maybe some cyril over at hulu just forgot to upload the episodes this morning.

i like the new eps, hope they continue with the new elements instead of just falling back into old territory
