A thread to discuss television and online animation.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

There's 2 called Stand Alone Complex. They're about 26 episodes each. They sre talky and thinky and you have to pay attention because nothing is really a throwaway. Very cool animation and future concepts.

animetoon.tv is where I watch.

And they have Season 5 Archer, and the original The Tick!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Season 5 Archer

Okay, I have 2 Archer-related general questions:

(1) Many non-Buffista people have complained on FB that S5 sucked. I thought it was a weird departure, but I still liked it. What's the general consensus on S5 around these parts?

(2) And what's your favorite season?

Not my favorite, but still had a lot of great moments.

S2 in a walk! Archer's cancer storyline was unbelievable! So dark and so funny and so on point.

Plus it had Double Deuce (backstory on Woodhouse) which has some of my favorite bits and line readings ever. Emmett and I still emulate Archer's "That's a lot of scalps."

I kind of lean towards S3, because "Bloody Ferlin" is hands down my favorite episode.

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

I like season 5. I approached every episode with some trepidation, think this might be the one that loses the thread, but that didn't really happen. Archer generally has that sense of teetering on the edge of disaster, though.

Not gonna pick a favorite, you can't make me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Nice.

I know they're currently in production, but I wonder how long the wait is going to be, considering the leaked episodes caused Nickelodeon to jump the gun on this season.
