 up the entire conflict for the episode’s mission: Archer has no idea who the target is. Well okay, that’s not entirely true; he thinks he knows that the target might be from a country that was an Axis power in World War II. It’s exactly the kind of useless piece of trivia that Archer would retain while skimming a document full of otherwise crucial details. ISIS never played by the rules, and Archer certainly doesn’t intend to start paying attention just because some Slater character insists he should. Another likely thread for this season is Lana’s increasing wariness of the missions, which may very well end in a standoff with the federal government. The CIA knew it was taking on a dysfunctional branch when it brought ISIS on, but I have a feeling that they’re going to regret even relegating Archer and company to their dirty work after a few more missions like this one.


Another new aspect of this season that gets a stunning showcase in “The Archer Sanction” is the show’s increased budget. All the scenes on the mountain are gorgeous, the frozen tundra crisp and stark. The higher action scenes, like the climbers tumbling down icy cliffs and the devastating avalanche, are especially impressive. But my favorite trick is still a simple one, one that dates back to series highlight “The Placebo Effect.” The shot pushes in on Archer as he steels his jaw, imagines he’s the lead in Terms Of Enrampagement, and pulls the trigger. This move resulting in the aforementioned devastating avalanche is also exactly how this doomed from the start movie would play out, so well done there, Archer, A+ job.

Speaking of Archer pulling the trigger: If I have a complaint about this week’s mission, it’s that there is never a doubt that that the target is hunky mountain man Crash McKerrin (Rob Huebel of Childrens Hospital). First of all, Huebel’s involvement follows the Law & Order rule of the most famous guest star being the murderer. Second of all, Crash’s perfect beard and alpine sweater combinations get Lana and Ray to sigh simultaneous, dreamy splooshes (“…the sound an avalanche makes, probably”). As we all know, the only thing that can make dreamy people even dreamier is to make them evil, and so Crash’s twist into villainy is just inevitable. Still, it’

Well okay, that ’s not entirely true; he think he knows that the target might be from a state that was an Axis power in World War II. It ’s exactly the kind of useless part of trivia that Archer would retain while skimming a text file full of otherwise crucial details. ISIS never play by the rules, and Archer certainly does n’t intend to get down paying attention just because some woodlouse character insists he should. Another probable thread for this season is Lana ’s increase wariness of the missions, which may very well end in a repulsion with the federal government.
