13 episode 6th season.

Jason

Really glad to see this show is back on track. Some of the last season was interesting, but interesting in the "let's drive the bus off the cliff to see what happens" way.

Paff

Totally jazzed for this. I already saw the episode, they showed it at Comic-Con back in July. Allegedly though, it's been altered a bit due to the fact they won't be using the name "ISIS" anymore.

fumanstan

Hoping it's better then last season, although the last few episodes finally felt like Archer again.

Geofferson

I was wondering how they were planning to respond to that. I figured some tweaks were in order so not surprised to hear this.

PhantomStranger

Maybe this show is past its prime? This was kind of a flat start to the season, though it did reset the status quo if you discount the baby.

fumanstan

I really liked it, felt like Archer of old. Loved the place being exactly the same (almost) and the simulation of Brett's blood Also really liked Milton the robot.

Paff

It was six months since I saw the episode, so I'm not gonna remember every detail. But the bit where the workers were blatantly rolling out the ISIS logo really seemed tacked on and would have been something I'd remember, so I think that was the change to the episode.

Red Dog

at Archer explaining the history - with the Bad News Bears in Japan and the Six Million Dollar man episode with the same plot.

Abob Teff

Cheryl's response to "But why would you do this?!" was awesome. Really, the new/old office stuff was the best part of a rather flat start. Very glad to have Archer back though!

Fielding Mellish

So I was watching this episode, and I caught something I had missed for five seasons.

In the opening credits, you see various blueprints behind the silhouettes of the characters, right? I was paying particular attention to them for some reason, and I asked myself... "Hey! Isn't that Andy Griffith's 'Vulture' spaceship from the old 'Salvage One' show?"

Sure enough, after a little googling... it is! There are also brief blueprint snippets of the old 'Airwolf' helicopter, too.

#2 on that list is a direct reference to the plot of the '70s novel and movie The Boys From Brazil which had the Nazi Doctor Joseph Mengele creating a number of clones of Adolf Hitler in Brazil within real families. And he then murdered each boy's father when the boys were teens so that they have a similar experience to the real Hitler of losing his father at that age. At the end of the story, Mengele was stopped but most of the boy clones were still alive.

I thought this last episode was fantastic. Return of Conway was great (helped that I happened to watch the first few episodes of Season 1 earlier in the week), and I loved all the fight sequences. Archer turning himself in to a verb, Archerize

Col. Lando Calrissiano

Krieger's bear robot

Great 2nd ep - show is still firing on all cylinders.

Abob Teff

Thank you Mr. Bearjangles!

Ramping (or should I say rampaging?) back up to standards with this episode. There is one thing that bugged me though -- Cheryl didn't seem to get any sexual gratification from Mallory choking her. That had been a long running gag.

Dave99

I noticed the choking thing also, I was expecting carol to say something when it was done.

fumanstan

Yeah, same here about the choking. Maybe just because it was Mallory.

Abob Teff

That is what would have made the joke so much better!

I'm glad others noticed it. I felt awkward pointing out the fact that they missed a choke sex punchline.

Is it Cheryl or Carol now?

Excellent!

Meathead

The Conan bit was hysterical... Loving the season so far.

fumanstan

This one was just ok for me; avalanche effects were cool, but the plot wasn't anything great this time around.

Red Dog

Loved Kreiger's comment in the Jacuzzi - "don't make any movements, particularly bowel."

fumanstan

Great seeing Barry back. Pam's sister was decent, but thought that whole thing would be a little funnier.

Jackskeleton

Loved the subtle tip of the hat Fargo references in this one.

great episode and much better than last weeks.
