If any data pipe has earned a self-indulgent crossover between two of its shows, its FX.

Think of theIts Always Sunnygang brushing up against marijuana empires in the Harlan County ofJustified.

Or better yet:American Horror Story: Louie.

Ironically,* this FX in-joke is the weakest part of Achub Y Morfilod.

Theyre quite good.)

but Lana and Archers own dysfunction deserve a fair amount of credit.

This season has already introduced aliens.

Were not shooting an MI5 agent.

Thats like shooting a cow.

Cows are our friends…they may be our best friends.

Nurse, would you close for me?

Well, would you open for me?

The only thing better than pervy Krieger is dad-joking pervy Kreiger.

*Ironic in the sense that I just spent 250 words on it because Im a shameless FX partisan.

**Thats got to be Conrads hand attached to Rays arm, right?
