Archer Review: Pocket Listing

Season: 6 / Episode: 9 / FX Two things: 1) I thought this was a really good episode of Archer. I thought mostly everything worked, everyone in the episode had something to do and were usually hilarious at it (even if it was Krieger being continuously knocked out by tranquilizers). I thought overall it was hilarious with some very tried and true Archer tactics. 2) I can’t be the only person that has no desire to see Lana and Sterling together in any capacity again. It’s been six seasons of this, yo. Maybe we will still get it, but I see a lot more potential in Lana and Sterling having this baby together but actually seeing other people and making each other jealous in physical form instead of the abstract and theoretical. But I suppose that’s a personal taste thing. It’s an animated show, so some things change, but most stay the same. This is one dynamic that could have changed.

Back to the episode, pretty damn funny. The premise that a prince from Durhani is coming to the United States on an internship (which constitutes Affirmative Action to Malory) and for some inexplicable reason, the CIA wants to spy on him. This means that they need to find a way to bug all of his equipment when he visits a potential house (owned by the Tunts no less) with an overly complicated plan by Slater. Also, bravo everyone involved with making Christian Slater a fixture for this season. He’s GREAT. His dynamic and personality is a perfect complement to the incompetence of the spy agency formerly…
