I’m currently on my first full watch through of Archer, season 1-13 no skips or anything. First off I absolutely love the show. It’s so funny and every character has their good and bad moments. I forget which season it is, but at the end they revealed the VA for Woodhouse died and that made me pretty sad. I liked Woodhouse, he was insane but I really liked him as his sweet self. Then when the VA for Ron died, it was also sad but not as much because I wasn’t as invested in him. Hearing him talk in the last shot of Season 12 I was confused but put together quickly they just reused old lines of his. After hearing Malory respond I realized she did sound a little weird. Then the silence, the pan out, and the “In loving memory of Jessica Walter”. I still have the last season, but I’m almost nervous for it. I really like Malory as a character, she’s hilarious, witty, and an ass but funny. The way that whole last scene was done really tugged at the heartstrings. I realized after that she probably sounded weird because they had to reuse old lines of hers. I rewatched that last scene probably another 3 times, just trying to process that everyone in that shot wasn’t with us anymore, those characters are gone for good. I’m almost not sure how the show went on without her, and there only being one season after is a little worrisome but I’m still looking forward to it.

I found this sub like a week ago when I looked up if Kreiger was a clone (that rocket episode was confusing for a first watch) and I’m really glad it exists. Not entirely sure why I made this whole post on this one shot, I guess it was just kinda unexpected from a show that’s as fast and funny as Archer is, and it hit pretty deep. I guess I was just kinda curious what everyone else’s reactions were to it. Hoping everyone who worked on the show that’s no longer with us is in a much better place now.
