Support NeoGAF

[Cornballer]

Season Five of Archer premieres Monday, January 13th at 10pm on FX. The season has been given the subtitle Archer Vice and will consist of thirteen episodes. So ArcherGAF, are you ready to head one more time into the Danger Zone?

Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that revolves around the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and the lives of its employees. Although their work of espionage, reconnaissance missions, wiretapping and undercover surveillance is daunting and dangerous, every covert operation and global crisis is actually just another excuse for the ISIS staff to undermine, sabotage and betray each other for personal gain.

The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the highly skilled and incredibly vain master spy "Sterling Archer;” Aisha Tyler as Archer’s fellow agent and ex-girlfriend "Lana Kane;” Jessica Walter as Archer’s domineering mother and the director of ISIS, "Malory Archer;” Chris Parnell as the easily intimidated comptroller-turned ISIS agent "Cyril Figgis;” Judy Greer as Malory’s loquacious secretary, "Cheryl;” Amber Nash as the discordant director of human resources for ISIS, "Pam Poovey;” Adam Reed as the gay voice of reason at ISIS, "Ray Gillette;” and Lucky Yates as ISIS’s possibly mad scientist, "Krieger."

Yes, I'm aware that the pink lines don't match up and it looks sloppy. It bugs me, too.

[Mazre]

Watching S4 Bluray right now. Excited for season 5.

 

[CoolOff]

Toddler-drowning levels of excitement approaching.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Please tell me this is going to have an 80's inspired synth soundtrack.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Anyone know when season 4 is going up on Netlifx?

 

[TheAbsolution]

So excited. Love this show! Glad I'm finally here to discuss it with you guys!

 

[Coop]

Just started re-watching season 1! Can't wait!

Anyone know when season 4 is going up on Netlifx?

I think Season 3 showed up after season 4 started airing. I dont remember when.but i think it was near the end of the season.

 

[Divius]

Can't wait, so excited!

 

[Perspicacity]

Really should have been mentioned in the .gif of the year thread

 

[Mindlog]

Shutup it's starting.

 

[Ourobolus]

Totally calling

Spoiler

Brett

for that first episode.

 

[Mask]

Anyone know when season 4 is going up on Netlifx?

If you're willing to mess about with DNS settings, season 4 is already up on both Norway and Mexico. Unotelly has a free trial, it's how I've been watching the 4th season.

 

[metsallica]

And suddenly that key art makes sense... Season 5 is totally going in my slideshow!

 

[BertramCooper]

Spoiler

Based on that tell-all from Matt Thompson, I really think this season could go down as one of the most audacious game changes for a TV show in recent memory - perhaps ever. I mean, they're totally changing the entire premise of the show five seasons into its run. That's just insane.

Sloppy OP? You might as well start an ant farm.

[Niraj]

Yessssss almost Archer time! Can't wait for this season!

 

[kingocfs]

I haven't read the spoilers but I'm expecting some crazy shit by the looks of that banner in the OP.

I haven't read the spoilers but I'm expecting some crazy shit by the looks of that banner in the OP.

They're all in the Warming Glow interview with Matt Thompson if you want to read them, though please use spoiler tags if you want to discuss. Thanks.

 

[Polari]

I'm pumped.

Spoiler

I'm guessing they all work for ODIN or something now?

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Is it time for new Archer, Barry?

Yes it is, other Barry.

 

[BertramCooper]

I'm pumped.

Spoiler

I'm guessing they all work for ODIN or something now?

Good guess, but it's way crazier than that.

I'm kind of wishing I had resisted reading the spoilers, but goddamn, my hype level is off the charts now.

 

[Phire Phox]

Hopefully Aisha can jump in the GAF discussion for the season premiere.

 

[daffy]

Always be berating and belittling.

 

[trinest]

Oh god those spoilers. I need this now.

 

[NastyBook]

That season opener spoiler.

Spoiler

R.I.P. in peace, Brett

 

[BertramCooper]

I found this promo clip posted on Reddit. MAJOR SPOILERS. It basically confirms what Matt Thompson said in that Warming Glow interview, for anyone who thinks it's a ruse. (You dumb idiots.)

[RatskyWatsky]

Excellent. Glad to have the show back.

 

[Omega]

i saw the thread and thought this was yesterday.

can't wait for monday.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Why do I feel like everyone spoiled themselves and knows what's gonna happen except me.

STOP KNOWING STUFF I DON'T KNOW YET

 

[Majestad]

Can't fucking wait for this. Daaaaaanger zone.

 

[Cornballer]

for anyone who thinks it's a ruse. (You dumb idiots.)

Heart of Archness is so very good. I might watch that arc again before the new season.

I don't know either friend! We're wading into the unknown now!

 

[zyxwvu4321]

HYPED.

 

[Ourobolus]

Heart of Archness is so very good. I might watch that arc again before the new season.

I don't know why they are changing everything with Season 5. You don't change horses midstream.

 

[Takamura-San]

I should marathon this series over the weekend.

The only way to prepare.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Haha the synopsis for the first episode is awesome.

 

[iammeiam]

I just read that Warming Glow interview and oh my god you guys.

Spoiler

The best part is that season four totally foreshadows all this coming to a head with all the attention to ISIS's less and less justifiable missions and it ALL MAKES SENSE.

Except for Cherlene but that's just amazing in its own right and I hope she hires Pam as her manager.

Here's hoping FX doesn't stick stupid trailers at the start/end of the episodes on iTunes this season.

I buy them off Amazon, so I can't speak for iTunes, but I realized on a recent S4 rewatch that the trailers are now gone.

I don't know if they did this because of complaints or because it doesn't make sense to keep year-old promos, but in any case, I'm glad they're not permanently attached to my digital purchases.

 

[Psychoward]

Wait, Monday nights now, huh? I'm in.

 

[inm8num2]

I love this show. Pure, unfettered hilarity.

 

[Cat Party]

Goddammit you guys stop hyping the spoilers. I only have so much self control.

Wow. Sounds fantastic.

Spoiler

I am going to miss the Mad Men-inspired wardrobe and Mid-Century modern furniture of the office.

I was thinking about that, too.

Spoiler

It seems likely that they'll be dropping the 60s aesthetic for an 80s-inspired one.
