As I have poor eyesight, I didn't bother freezeframing and reading the tiny disclaimer at the end of Mr. Archer's promotional video. What did it say?

As kind of an anti-call back, when the episode opened at 6:59, I was expecting the 'Archer sleeps through the loud alarm clock' joke but he quickly woke up to quiet music and I burst out laughing. Mrs. Wodehouse, who watches the show somewhat, didn't see what was funny.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Wait, I had something for this.

I saw Bill Cosby's Himself many, many times on HBO, and then discovered it was not comedy but truth 20 years later.

I must say, the hype from last week's episode spoiled this somewhat for me. While funny at moments (and the ending had me in tears) there was no bomb-defusing insanity that kept building. Still, any episode of Archer is not to be scoffed at.

Consider that this great line ("Here's a bullet. Next one's coming a lot faster.") is merely one of dozens in this series! That one line would make an instant catch phrase in a bad but entertaining action movie, but most of those barely register in terms of dialogue.

Ahh, pigly.

Obvoiusly, as a gentlemen, I would never reveal to others if Mr. Gable wishes to avoid calling attention to himself. He'd be overwhelmed by flappers otherwise.

I must admit, it was a pleasure working with Mr. Gable.

Correction — Whenever Moffat writes for any Doctor, he has great throwaway lines.

That's my only complaint as well. A Tesselactor Doctor … or it could have been a Flesh Doctor. Either would have worked, which is the problem. ("And the kids were eventually rescued from the island by, oh, let's say Moe.") It didn't feel woven together tightly, which is Moffat's speciality.

Well *Obviously* we're going to use Sploosh.

What you are forgetting, sir, is that Ray just recently mentioned he took care of cats. If I were a gambling man, I would wager that at least one of those cats is white & fluffy.

I understand what the episode said. I just think it's a worse story for it. I mean, if you have to kill someone, who do you kill?

Intellectually, those was a good episode. The acting was good, too.

The latter

My tikes (8 &12) watch all the episodes, have rewatched the recent ones, and spend a fair amount of time trying to untangle it (particularly River Song). The younger one didn't know who Hitler was…

For some reason, Mark Gatiss episodes feel like wasted opportunities. (We're ignoring the Idiot Lantern, obviously). I mean, there are bad episodes, but Gatiss' episodes are often "This is good, but it should have been great." I mean, I liked this episode, but the cuckoo thing could have been handled better (although…

True, and their reaction the next day …
Amy — "Was I"
Rory, Interrupting — "Yes."
