Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
On a scale of 'not much' to 'just enough', how much Ray is in the current season? He's my favourite.

'Just Enough' he gets some great lines too, especially in the final episode.

I'm not crazy in that this episode Archer saw Lana flickering like last season when he was coming out of his coma on the space station, right? I really hope they don't go with "he's still in a coma after all!!!" because that would taint the end of last season which I'm not gonna lie made me tear up a bit

Nah, that was just a hallucination brought about by a combination of hypothermia and residual brain damage caused from the drowning that caused Archer to become comatose in the first place.

Yeah they're definitely hinting that he's not fully recovered.

Naaaah, I'm just bustin' yer chops a little. I don't know how many times I've made a Brilliant, Insightful Post® that brings to light something that I, and only I*, noticed. (*: List of people who noticed what I posted about : I, Only I, and two other people who have been talking about it for the one page that I skipped so I could hurry up and reply to a thread I've been ignoring for a week.)

I really wish there were some more episodes in this season.

What was the deal with all the hallucinations towards the end? Are they hinting that Archer is still in a coma?

What, is he gonna wake up again next season, only this time the gang is a successful drug cartel?

He's not still in a coma ("I'll just wait for the next one" "There is no next one!"), but he is still being effected by the damage the coma did to his body.

Archer hosed up, and that gently caress up had a major effect on his life. He did get to raise his daughter, Lana married someone else, and he needs a cane to walk and also probably suffered brain damage. The hallucinations were a visual reminder of what this season has been about : Archer trying to adjust to real life and having varying degrees of success at doing so.

if the gimmick is he wakes up from a coma every season and has to relearn that Woodhouse died, it could work for 2, maybe even 3 seasons before getting stale!

drat. Strong return. I checked out halfway through the Noir season and didn't come back until this season because for some reason I can't begin to give a poo poo about things that aren't canon. My brain is an rear end in a top hat. Can't enjoy prequels for the same reason.

Space season is really fun, though the highlight is Mr. Deadly and can be watched completely stand alone and if you think your brain is going to nope out you gotta at least watch that one. It has Matt Berry!

I literally checked out in noir season, and then over this last week watched space season and this most currently season, and finished last night, and was stoked there was more to come. Very sad to hear about her passing. She really was a no fucks given legend.

They'll probably rearrange her dialogue in post-production to give her a proper sendoff.

I wonder if they had some contingency dialogue for something like this. I would think with an animated show it would make sense to have something in the can for your high risk talent (old as hell, smack habit, romantically involved with Courtney Love, that kind of thing)

I don't think a director would ask an actor to do a bunch of scenes or lines of dialogue in case they die, no.

If Werner Herzog asked an actor to record dialog in case they died, how would they tell the difference between that and his normal directorial requests in the first place?

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
Yeah, definitely going with no deliberate recording of dialogue in case she died.

On the other hand, I can definitely see rewrites where they take dialogue she already recorded and write around it to give her a nice send-off in the show.
