God that was an amazing episode. Love that we got some background on Archer, and the stuff in the office and in Turkmenistan was great as well.

I randomly caught the first 3 seasons on Netflix, and found it to be hilarious. H. Jon Benjamin's voice is also a plus (love Bob's Burgers)

Shit ass.

Definitely one of the best parts of the episode.

I liked this one. As someone mentioned earlier, it went by really fast. Good pacing.

I wonder why a network would air episodes in a non-correct order. I have seen this happen before and I just don't get it.

It's not always the network forcing it, sometimes the production itself chooses to switch stuff around. Don't know what happened here, but whichever side swapped probably thought this episode paired better with the rest of FX's block that night, or something.
 
My jaw was on the floor when Cheryl was talking to Lana. Fuuuuck. The shit that make your soul burn slow.

I think my favorite running gag this season is someone going "That's my 3rd X/Y/Z!" and someone going "What were the other two?" For some reason, that always cracks me up. The first thing on Archer's bucket list was hilarious.

It's pronounced "ZAY"

This episode was totally gurpgork.
It wasn't until I watched it for a second time that that gag hit me. I didn't really laugh when it aired, but Ray's "how is that the same word for bread, and snake, and Friday, and that damn dog" really got me the second time.
