You guys. Oh my god, you guys. Drastic Voyage, I just don't even.
You see Fantastic Voyage and all the 8 billion knock-offs and it's always the same. A ticking clock, you have X amount of time to get out of the guy before you turn to normal size.
Invariably, the last bit of action is the ship escaping the body right as the countdown gets to 0:01, and the day is saved!
Do we ever stop to think what would happen if they didn't make it out? We have to, a little, in order to feel the suspense of that final climactic action, and it's terrible, maybe too terrible to imagine. And we never have to, because we know they're going to make it out in time. Do we ever really think about what it would look like if they didn't?
I laughed so hard. As hard as I've ever laughed at anything. Even though I generally hated Krieger all through the episode, it was worth it to get that.
Indeed the complete destruction was hilarious and made up for some of this seasons shoftfalls.
Of course this really points out the problem of these type of stories in general. If a single bolt got loose it would embiginate to a nice wound in the man's skull. Not to mention sending an entire spaceship in a mission where a lost button is end of mission.
This season has been up and down for me, some of their episodes nailed it and others fell flat. So while I didn't like the whole season I think the ones that nailed it did so because they are willing to try out new things.
I wonder what they are off to next?
According to an interview a few days ago the creators have said, 'fucked if we know' and are watching how fan reaction comes in before starting on the next season. They have said they want to keep the CIA and FBI agents around so I doubt team archer start a flower shop or something.
I want to see Archer turn rogue and help overthrow the government. Instilling people with the urge to fight for their freedom all the while actually be on a vendata against some asshole in the government that kicked Babo. ETA: Hmm or Archer's Flower delivery and Assassination services, 'he likes me, he likes me not' because who better knows how much you love those close to you than those that can take them from you.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. I think it says something about how unnecessary the spy agency premise has become that the best episode of the season was the one where they're all stuck in the elevator.
One thing I liked about this season was all the movie parodies. We had, by my count, The Eiger Sanction, Bullitt and Fantastic Voyage. I wouldn't mind at all if they continued in that vein. I particularly want to see an Archerized Where Eagles Dare.
Or, OR they could do a time jump and something could happen to AJ and Archer and Lana could use their particular set of skills to kick ass. I would watch the shit out of that.

I wonder if they're going to get Tom Selleck to guest this season. Adam Reed has been saying they want to for awhile.

YES THANK YOU HEIFFAH. Does page 5 load properly for you? That stupid HTML embed I did broke the whole page for me and I can't delete it. I've been replying using QR on page 1.
I see the random code, and the box and got a script error pop-up from Firefox.

Aright, since I'm the only one hosed, I won't spam the thread to push it to the next page. Here's the link to the video and Archer's reviews of every Bond film ever made.
VM cleaned some cookies in the database or something, so the weirdo embed is gone and this page now works for me. Just in time for the next page to start.
Re: Archer! Archer! Archer!
I just see a blank white box where the embed should be.
