Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wasn't Shirley's part in the tag making fun of characters with catchphrases that always got a huge laugh-track response, like "Dyn-o-MITE!!!"? That's what I assumed.

(Er, maybe everyone already got that, and just couldn't figure out what the point of making fun of it was. Sometimes I state the obvious.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ooooh. That makes sense. Now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, that was my guess, Tep.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Tep,

that's how I took it. I think the new season ep was being very meta and also addressing FAN fears the show was going down the toilet in light of the creator leaving. So that's why there was all this irritating bullshit thrown in (laugh track, catchphrase, even 3 camera shots I think)

Absolutely, that was all about the new showrunner angst in fandom. Which they probably needed to deal with, so that's fine, but I feel like it's not a good basis for judging how the rest of the season is going to go.

Archer continues to be a wonder, however.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

WORST QUEBECOIS ACCENT EVER.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

WORST QUEBECOIS ACCENT EVER.

I doubt they went outside Atlanta for that one.

Quebeckers aren't really rare and mysterious. Atlanta's not an excuse.

Untrue! Exotic and strange. Very few Americans have heard Quebecois. You might as well be doing a Basque accent.
