'Archer: 1999' on FXX

Season 9 thread.

So, what did you think of the season premiere? I thought it was entertaining enough. Cheryl is a badass pilot now, Ray the ship's courtesan, Krueger an android, Malory a hologram of sorts, and Pam a.... rock? I miss Crackers so much, though.

The animation is just mind-numbingly gorgeous and I hate knowing that this was made in Georgia.

Archer is the sexually hottest guy on TV. I would so do him. Well, if he were a real person I mean.

r3 Same, he just does it for me.

Love this show and love Archer. I'm with you r3 and r4. He's EXACTLY my type. I feel a bit of shame about that.

Haha I feel like half the audience for the show is gay men. I also am very attracted to Archer despite him being a cartoon.

Which isn't great because he's portrayed as an extreme narcissist. If not a sociopath!

Verificatia?

Funnily enough, even knowing that the character is voiced by Chris Parnell doesn't break the illusion for me. Though I only googled him after I was three season into the show. I wonder if the same will happen with Netflix's upcoming gay animated spy comedy Q-Force, with Sean Hayes voicing the male lead. They better make that character sexy af.

H. Jon Benjamin, not Chris Parnell, sorry!

Parnell is kinda sexy.

Not yet sold on the "old school" sy fy theme of the season. Will they be able to dazzle us with random trivia like in previous seasons?

I just watched the episode where Archer was taking a dump in Kurdistan and got bitten on the taint by a cobra. I'm still laughing.

r11 Ha! I can't believe he actually asked Ray and Cyril to suck the poison out of his taint.

I'm just so thoroughly entertained by this season, I'm gonna miss the show so much when it's gone.

Archer getting zapped in the dick was great, although the lack of bulge on display was disappointing. Did the prudishness in the Georgian air creep into the animation studio or something? It's the last season - give him a proper COCK, ffs!

This season is awful. Stop cheerleading for it.

The last few seasons have been awful. The whole move to private eyes and Archer in a coma has been a disaster from start to finish.

r14 Care to explain why or is that it and we should all just pack up?

So I should go with your opinion and not mine because...?

r15 Agree that most coma seasons have been awful, expect for Danger Island, which I loved precisely because how isolated from the rest of the (bloated) story it was. This one has that same feel and that's exactly why I'm enjoying it so much.

The AV Club's reviewer seems to agree with me as well. I mean, what's not to love about a gladiator fight and Cheryl taking it SUPER seriously?

What are the odds of a live action version happening?

Nooooooooope.
