Archer and companys trip to Branson goes wrong when they drift into Nellis Air Force Base air space a.k.a.

So aliens exist in theArcheruniverse.

I guess lets just start with that.

Archerhas never been a show particularly concerned with realism or believability.

Its certainly a bold and welcome move for a show that thrives on absurdity as much asArcherdoes.

But the final product is very short and surprisingly underwhelming.

She has no memory of that, Pam says.

So when he calls Cheryl at the office (Carol.

I need your help.)

Since Archer is on the no-fly list (I want to fly the plane!

and the no-trains list (I want to fly the train!)

one can only guess as to whats next.

Will it be one of those sound-barrier breaking New Mexican desert cars?

A hot air balloon?

Has Krieger figured out teleportation?

Of course, theres always time to check out the Air Bases officers room bar.

They freak out and take off after the aliens.

And its the second time in as many weeks that Pams beast-like qualities have been highlighted.

Similarly satisfying is Archers realization that the Lieutenant Colonel he met upon landing isnt actually named Lieutenant Colonel.

He is then forced to beat up the paper-soft Air Force guards.

By the time Archer actually catches up with Krieger and Pam, they are quivering, crying messes.

Its quite anti-climactic and not even creatively so.
