Are they ever going to get back to the original story? They have lost me by doing the one off season set in different times.

I don’t think so. I read an interview with a show creator where he mentions how boring it would be to write the same type of show over and over.

yeah, consistently funny and entertaining shows are such a chore to watch as well.

[atomheartbevo 89735]

This is as close as we are going to get to a Tales of the Gold Monkey reboot.

[Parliament 14263]

Not sure there's any humor left to be had in Archer.

[SpiralOut 1818]

The gang hanging around the office being assholes to each other was what made the show great.  Once they started veering off into other shit it went downhill quick.  Last season was just an all-around mess and completely unfunny. 

Don't really have high hopes for this upcoming season.

Come again??

[The Maestro 758]

I just realized that seasons 1-7 are gone from Netflix.  Furk

[Duckman 82]

This show was best when the "themes" were in the background.  The last two seasons have been very poor because they tried to tell a story.

This is what I was referencing:

http://deadline.com/2016/09/creator-of-fxs-archer-lays-out-plan-to-end-series-after-season-10-1201829509/

“The plan is to end Archer after season 10. I don’t know that anybody has talked about that, but that is definitely my plan—to do 8, 9, and 10 and they’re gonna be each shorter seasons of just eight episodes, and then wind it up.…I was gonna end it after 8, but then I had sort of a brain explosion of a way that I could do three more seasons and really keep my interest up. So the three seasons that are coming up are gonna be pretty different from what has come before, and they’re gonna be different from each other.”

I had to quote this just to read it something wonky about the text color at least on mobile 

early archer was possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever watched. Newer archer has been passable but not on the same level

If the past few seasons had aired first, there's no way we'd be talking about a 9th and 10th season. 

Or talking about it at all, most likely. 

[sidis 9832]

god last season sucked so bad. 

but i will always give it a watch for the good times we went through together...

[HornsofBevo 122]

Early format archer could have went on for 20 seasons.

this. season 8 was very meh

[Parliament 14263]

 

[RTF Horn 46]

Holy shitsnacks that looks awful.  "the characters are totally different than they normally are!11!1"  Gag me.

[Dr Fear 1268]

Gezz, that looks bad.

[BERT 4380]

I'm sure the real ISIS kind of fucked everything up. Couldn't really keep that name going after the beheadings started. 

[RPM 26326]

Looks like this season has some potential. Loved the first episode. LOL'd a few times. The Casablanca call back was nice. 

 

And the bird talks. Get over it.

thanks a lot Bin Laden

[kevwun 15806]

It did seem better than last season.

[66BUFF 2564]

just finished watching last season for the 2nd time.  It was better this time.

[Prepuce of Doom 21089]

I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode. I had regrettably low expectations going in, and I'm glad I was wrong. 

[henrygandorf 29194]

the cheryl character was super annoying.  otherwise it showed potential.  i mean, it basically reused a bunch of jokes/story from heart of archness part 1.

[Pato del Muerto 52530]

Pretty meh to me. 

[RPM 26326]

Good episode tonight. I'm kinda digging kick ass Pam. Get some!

[Longhorn_Fan68 33876]

Haha, holy shit. Pun intended. 

Edited May 3, 2018 by Longhorn_Fan68

[Longhorn_Fan68 33876]

The crispy colonel is definitely my favorite so far

[RPM 26326]

It's NOT a gold monkey!

Really liking this season. Krieger as the parrot is working well, Badass Pam is badass and Princess Lana is interesting. 

[kevwun 15806]

Yeah, this is the best it's been in at least a couple of seasons.

[WBT 20628]

Chinchilladas aqui

[RPM 26326]

Another great episode. This season delivers.

[bamachine 1231]

So this is clearly their Indiana Jones season. Do we get a Star Wars season next year?

I keep waiting for Malory to stroll in and say "People, ISIS has a branding problem."

Lana:  "umm, do you even watch the news?"

Malory: "Why is our name being used by some hip-hop floozy?"

[RPM 26326]

Season finale next week. I haz sad.

[notre dame joe 190]

My enjoyment of the Gangster season improved on reruns, maybe this one will too.

[RPM 26326]

Nice wrap up and sneak peek to next season...

Archer: Alien

 

Edited June 14, 2018 by RPM

[bamachine 1231]

^Yep, so the season's are nods to classic sci-fi now.

[Js1 85439]

Loving it 

[notre dame joe 190]

Optomistic about the space season, would like more parodies of that genre.  Pessimistic about Malory's voice coming out of the glow ball.  Reed wouldn't dehumanize her would he?

[RPM 26326]

The computer's name in Alien was Mother, so casting Mallory is apropos.

[elfenix 34328]

Funniest part was Archer and Pam in the quicksand, laughed hard at that

[Frank The Tank 1497]

I was not impressed with this season or the last few really.  I hope they get back to being a spy agency before they wrap the show up for good.

Archer: 1999

Quote

An exclusive first look at the season’s premiere teases a plot that involves a distress beacon, an alien invader, and space pirates (which make for a nice contrast from the literal pirates from Archer: Danger Island). Not only did this material really strike a chord with the audience, but the show’s animation continues to amaze. Everything that was shown from Archer: 1999 was straight up gorgeous and it’s satisfying to see that the show’s look only further refines what works for them.

In addition to the new setting and character models, it also looks like Archer: 1999 will make a return to the more serialized storytelling that dominated Archer: Dreamland and Archer: Danger Island. Thompson indicates thatArcher: 1999 will largely be one complex story that will continue to feed into what the other seasons have been doing and the slippery nature of the show’s “reality” at this point. He cites seminal science fiction films like Alien, Star Wars, and The Last Starfighter as all influences on Archer: 1999’s stories.

 

Quote

Archer’s tenth season will transport Archer and the rest of its cast to the space station, Seamus. Archer finds himself in the role of captain amidst all of these space rejects. These characters will find themselves occupying traditional science fiction roles that embrace the strangeness of the genre, like how Krieger is now an android who may or may not be evil (in an appreciated nod to Bishop from Alien, complete with his characteristic “milk blood”) and Pam is a hulking rock monster (Aisha Tyler eloquently describes the character as “if The Thing had a really bad case of eczema”). 

Quote

Mallory may receive the most unexpected change of all when she becomes a sentient ball of raw energy, but rest assured, Jessica Walter still kills the performance. If anything her snarky, condescending demeanor pacts even more impact when it comes out of a weird force of science. Thompson also promises the return of Barry in “full-on robot mode”, a weird, adorable green alien who’s voiced by Sam Richardson, and a robotic torture bird called Funby (no relation to Krieger’s Crackers from last season).
