so just to confirm when the presedente was talking to Mallory he was asking for Tanks and then Poison Gas.... but did Malory pick up on it? Was the joke her realizing what was being asked of her or that she thought he was into some freaky Gas sex?

Also Another great episode.

Phrasing, indeed. The whole crew together works wonders. The painting bit was killer. Abstract art can be ridiculous.

Krieger Clones just before one of my favorite new shows returns. I wonder how that will play into his back story or present life.

I really liked this week's episode. My only complaint is that "phrasing" has been run into the ground so hard that it's coming up on the other side of the planet.

I haven't watched any of the new season yet but I just stopped in the middle of season 4 because I just couldn't take all of its good jokes being mercilessly run into the ground. I feel like more so than the previous seasons.

I heard that Archer S5 was different but is it really that different?

Some of it is just as bad as S4, and there were some new (unfunny) jokes added to the rotation that seriously hurt momentum until the past four or so episodes, which have been consistently good. The Rules of Extraction is one of my favorite episodes of the series, nevermind the season. Starting with Smuggler's Blues it started to improve (and outside of outlaw country and coke-Pam garbage has been genuinely funny).

It sits alongside S4 as one of the weaker seasons, but there are enough good moments that I'd say it's worth watching (or at least worth watching the good ones).

Off hand, the S4 eps I thought were good:
Midnight Ron (I know it's not a popular choice, but I thought it was great)
Once Bitten
Coyote Lovely
The Honeymooners
Sea Tunt: Part II

I loved the opener for The Papal Chase, but it lost traction after the title sequence. That's it really, the rest I thought were middling (Fugue and Riffs, Legs) or plain bad (Viscous Coupling, Live and Let Dine).

"the sinister gay kabal". Neat.

"cabal"

The actual word, not the MK character.

Gonna need some of these slapping gifs.

edit-Paaaaaaaammmmmmm. Pamcakes took a bullet to the tit. Guess that's for all the cocaine jokes this season. Super surprising that she took the bullet thought.

Ha ha ha. Alright, I'm a fan of the freeze Archer chasing Pam shot.

Episode definitely picked up in the second half. Cyril getting pissed off at the end there was pretty damn funny.

Pretty entertaining, I enjoyed the Lana/Archer banter

Thought Pam got her tit busted at first, forgot about the kevlar

What is up with those Krieger clones... they are funny at least

Archer was not in control tonight. Put in his place in multiple times and even had a punchline stolen from him. And everyone was literally Slap Happy.


So at least one more? 13 didn't end this adventure.

Edit:

My DVR is off. It recorded a couple of replays, so it's not over just yet.

This episode being named part two freak me out and I thought it was the season finale and
I was totally disappointed that it didn't feel like a season finale. Then the preview show up and everything was better.

Anyways, great episode.

I shot people I like more for less.
Loved all the slapping. And the Krieger clones.

I like the serial format. The whole San Marco plot has been fun.

Malory was pretty shitty about Krieger.
