    I don't see you driving a tank through a wall Quid. Next you'll tell me this coup doesn't feature nerve gas or tigers.

    In general I'm against coups that do not driving tanks through walls though I have had my heart broken many a time that "Archer's Back!" pops up and it was nothing but dirty dirty lies.

    Tanks? Tigers? Nerve gas? It sounds like the forum zone I have entered is one of danger.

    Yup, Archer really is turning into Magnum P.I.

    And check out the guest stars:
    J.K. Simmons and Keegan Michael Key will star as recurring rival investigators seen at the fringe of many of Archer’s cases, Patton Oswalt will appear in multiple episodes as a dirty lawyer, and both Jon Daly and Jon Glaser will have roles.

    Will Archer complete cases and missions or will they crash and burn in the last 30 seconds of every episode? Because every episode ending like Arrested Development in Vice and the last season was very tiresome, to the point I was expecting Archer: Homeless Shelter for this season.

    Looking for non-region locked versions of the trailer, I discovered this:

    http://www.yelp.com/biz/archer-investigations-los-angeles

    Apparently there's been a private investigator company called Archer in LA for a while. The woman who works there is named Cheryl (Or possibly Carol??).

    http://www.archerpi.com/

    Actually is this maybe viral marketing and/or a weird easter egg like that Krieger website?

    That preview makes PI look like a much better fit than drug smugglers.

  • Options

    The drug smuggling fit it was just handled miserably.

    They should have had some honest successes just so we could have gotten a Cyril/Mallory/Pam/Carol episode showing them attempting to run that laundromat and actually do legitimate business to make laundering the money possible.

    That's how the story should have progressed. Let Lana, Archer, and Ray have wacky antics trying to sell it, but they should have been allowed to sell some so we could have had the fun of watching Pam and Carol try to run a business under Cyril's instruction with Mallory wandering around micromanaging him.

    Krieger could have gotten to hop back and forth between both groups managing collecting money/delivering coccaine from and to Archer Ray and Lana and dropping off the money to Cyril.

    And I dunno give Woodhouse a shoe shine stand in front of the laundromat that ends up making more money than the laundromat itself.

    Honestly the Archer Vice thing was an idea that should have probably only lasted a few episodes, not an entire season. I don't think they had enough good ideas to sustain it that long. Overall I wasn't a huge fan of it, but it's over so at least it was still only a temporary thing.

    In the end I think I just would rather see them being secret agents :P This Magnum P.I. thing is at least basically the same general idea as that, so I think this will work much better.

    I thought the episode with Archer, Ray and Cyril having to trudge through jungle and get to a plane, complete with crocodiles gorily devouring the guards and Ray completely faking his infirm condition (which amused Archer after he had to carry him around the whole time) was pretty fantastic. Maybe the best episode of that season.

    Yeah, that one was good. But it also didn't have a lot to do with the drugs, other than as a launching point. But I think that plotline only had so many good launching points like that :P

    can you explain what you mean by ending like arrested development? I didn't watch so if you can't I understand

    Its a formula that worked for Arrested Development. Each episode ends with the main characters' efforts ending in sitcommy failure or with disastrous side effects for reasons out of nowhere, usually some surprise fact in the end of the show, rendering all the efforts of an episode a waste. It gets to a point where in Season 3, a character goes "okay, let me make a choice, I already know its going to end in failure for some wacky reason" and it does.

    In Archer seasons 5 and 6, the show is turning into this, where every mission ends in failure and every attempt at making money ends up with the money, or money source, spontaneously combusting because reasons. Remember the train episode where Archer complete a capture mission and Malory goes "did you get a reciept" in the last 30 seconds of the episode?" Yeah, that shit gets old. At least in the Saudi episode in season 6, the mission gradually snowballs into madness, rather than following that formula.

    Archer needs to start winning at something. ISIS and crew are burning too many bridges.

    yea, though on the business end I think the show could improve, but on the personal development side I think it has been fucking aces. So many great character moments.

    I would love to see more Krieger, but I would totally understand if they're wary of over-using him.

    Also the dog, Khazak (sp). I wish he was around.

    Two things:

    Amazon has a new preview thing up to buy for $0.00, shows some of the dynamics for this season it appears but it's only like a minute long.

    We are also now 10 days away from new season. Brace yourselves.
