Wikipedia says one of the princesses might've been a carrier, but given the rarity of having both X chromosomes with the bad genes probably means she didn't have it fully expressed. So they either got the genetics wrong, or they were going for the "shot by bolsheviks" reference, which... eh. Archer, the show that makes me read about the finer points of hemophilia.

J.G. Thirlwell is doing the music now. If you watch The Venture Bros., which every Archer fan should, you would already be familiar with his excellent score music for that show.

I thought the hemophilia joke was good enough, but if we really wanna dig here there's also the issue of Archer's KGB ex-girlfriend.

They've had references to somewhat obscure historical stuff (such as lesser-known CIA ops, etc) so I choose to think there was another layer to the joke that I'm not quite sure of. It's a great joke in any case though grading essays nude fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Apr 2, 2016 |

I thought that almost all the royals in Europe had hemophilia thanks to Victoria and her many daughters. Now having looked it up in an attempt to not look stupid on the internet, I know that only 3 out of her 9 kids had it, and a handful of grandkids, including the Russian price but not necessarily his sisters. Man, Archer is educational as hell, look at all this poo poo the thread has learned.

Really? You guys are going with hemophilia instead of the glaringly obvious murder of the Romanovs?

I appreciated the scene where one of the characters made an innuendo, and the rest of them looked over at Archer only to get "No, sorry, you took it for granted".

criscodisco posted:Yeah people always seem to forget that, like if you get a cyborg arm suddenly you can start throwing cars around. It's all thousands of pounds on joints that aren't cyborged. Reminds me of the scene from Global Frequency where an ex-CIA operative talks about her cyborg arm and mentions that you need modifications all across you back and the entirety of your spine or, the first time you try to lift something, you'll either tear your arm out of it's socket or rip your torso in half. EDIT: Here we go, found it: Full body cyborg has gone rogue and a Global Frequency team is heading into a secure facility to make sure he never leaves.

There's also a passage in one of the Culture novels where a guy talks about how a lot of non-Culture people get illegal body modifications that resemble Culture ones but don't see the important stuff: the example being men getting enhanced penises and then forgetting you need an enhanced blood supply and such to make those work, only to die having sex because of it.

Finally got around to checking out the new episode. I think I enjoyed it more than the previous two seasons. "...Pam's my ride home." Also, I agree about the ex-husband's thug being likely being the murder victim
