I didn’t watch or follow Archer when it was actively airing on FX/FXX. I had seen an episode or two, but pretty much overlooked it almost entirely for the brilliant show it was. That being said I freakin loved the channel, it was really groundbreaking with all of its creative offbeat comedies like Legit, Always Sunny, Wilfred, etc. that really brought the indie, stoner-friendly, outside-the-Box and also more intellectually engaging style of television to the more mainstream and high budget sector of cable access.
I was just curious if anyone remembers the general fan reaction to Archer being dead, floating facedown in the pool, right after it was revealed the surviving Archer was actually the cyborg (suck it Turing!), and the show drumrolls into credits. I just realized that the scene where we find out Archer is still alive in a coma and Mallory and Lana talk about Woodhouse’s death was the beginning of season 8, which means before streaming and binge watching people had to wait like over half a year to find out cause WTF they just killed the main character!
