- TriviaKreiger misattributes the quote "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing." to Edmund Burke (as many others, including President John F. Kennedy, have done). While it is not known who first spoke words to that effect, Burke is known to have said "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, and unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
- Quotes
Lana Kane: Okay, so, remember when you had cancer?
Sterling Archer: [laughing facetiously] Uh, um, vaguely.
Lana Kane: Okay, well, we all thought you were going to die... and one night, you got really drunk and we almost had sex.
[Archer begins to play with the baby's face with his finger]
Lana Kane: Right before you passed out, you told me Mallory had convinced you to freeze a bunch of your sperm at Dr. Feldman's office, and I was like, 'Huh, weird.'
[At this point Archer realizes what she's saying, shocked. The ringing in his ears gets louder until eventually it drowns out Lana's voice]
Lana Kane: And then you didn't die, and then a few years went by, and I started thinking about having a baby, but I was single. And all the other stuff aside, physically, you're an amazing human being, and all the other stuff aside, I do actually love you. And so here's this viable sample, just sitting there in Dr. Feldman's - who's security system is a joke, by the way - and so I guess it maybe wasn't the *most* ethical thing I've ever done in my *entire* life, but... Archer? Archer? ARCHER?

The consistency of the characters and their behavior is what makes the season work; the drug-trade thread perhaps provides a decent frame to it, but not too much more than that. The writing lacked the high hit rate of laughs of previous seasons, with the plotting taking more time, but it was still funny. The delivery of the voice cast is as good as ever, with the best lines well done. The return to the spy game suggested by the finale will hopefully see a return to the core of the show but without the baggage of the previous four seasons. This fifth season will be good enough to please fans, but not bring enough to justify this reboot continuing beyond the one run.
