damn you, stop cutting onions around me

A little? I fucking need to rehydrate!

A perfect ending for Mallory Archer and Ron Cadillac and touching tribute to the late Jessica Walter and the late Ron Leibman. It’s so much harder to laugh at this ridiculous life without them around.

That last shot though. Goddammit.

That moment where Archer quietly just puts his hand on crying Lana’s shoulder. Perfect!

I wouldn’t even call it a “trope” for this show. It seems that they really want to present “killing is bad” as such a basic, obvious, fundamental, and universal truth that, as you so eloquently put it, “it goes without saying.”

I loved it. Every second of it. I’ve been a bigger fan of this season than the reviews have, and that definitely included the finale, where I thought it was generally firing on all cylinders. That extended, especially, to the last scene. I thought Mallory’s fight scene was going to be her awesome send-off, and I was…

Hoo-boy was this creepy.

- This fucking show.

I think that the distinction between what Yolanda/Mike did and what the original JSA did is that the JSA killed someone who was essentially just another innocent-ish victim of the villain, while Yolanda and Mike both killed people who were actual villains. That’s what went against the mission of the JSA; they were…

I’m not sure how knowing the big secret would have helped the new JSA fight Eclipso. As mentioned in the review, it’s not obvious Eclipso has a human host at all right now, so what would they have done differently? And while it’s not exactly the same, didn’t Courtney and Yolanda keep a very similar secret from the…

I thought this was excellent. I think the character studies have been really effective, even if they’ve been slow. I really appreciated the timeline clarification that this was before the Christmas Day Massacre we saw last season, and that it explained why that happened. The timeline is always going to be a bit…

I wished they had used this joke in the tribute to Norm Macdonald, as it is one of my favorites. “The state of Michigan has now made it legal for the blind to go deer hunting. The main backers of the law? The deer.”

The little diamond flash from the ring as Diamond Force swoops in.

So we’ve gone from Kinja not showing us links to where folks replied to Kinja not notifying us when we get our precious stars? Jesus Christ.

I was so happy to see Grundy, and he was used *perfectly*. I did NOT expect the show to go to this dark of a place, and man was it effective. The entire episode was dark, and haunting, and scary at times, and it was incredible. I cannot say enough good things about what this show has achieved, especially with the…

An episode in Japan with Krieger and no sign of Krieger’s anime wife?  For shame, show....

There were several shots which were really, really nice in this episode. 

I have to say I was expecting the reveal of no body, but...

“Nope, wow. She’s real dead.”

... was very funny, and I’m glad they did it as well. Didn’t need another nemesis out there always surviving somehow.

Speaking of which, when’s Barry going to show up this season?

That’s an A episode from me. Best episode of Archer in a long time
