Archer, S03E12
The ISA commissions the ISIS team to help them take out a traitor faction on the space station Horizon. This was the first part of the season finale, which we can expect to see in a couple of days. As there have been a lot of episodes where the action was an afterthought, I was a little happy to see them rush off to space, as much as I thought it was ridiculous that they would be able to go after only three days of preparation.
Seriously, I would cut off my right leg before I went into space with the ISIS crew. Archer is their best operative, and he is more likely to leave you for dead than help you if you were in trouble. I can't imagine trusting him in space where caution is key (mess up there and you'll be stuck in space til you die). I thought it couldn't get any more outrageous that they were going into space with Mallory (she can handle a gun, sure, but how is it that she can tolerate a space ride so well?) until Pam and Carol showed up! Are you kidding me?? How could they survive that ride stuck in a tiny box (I say tiny because Pam is so big)? And more than that, what the hell kind of business would they have there? No way they are that stupid that they just have to tag along every damn where that the operatives go.
This question was quickly cleared up after Ray expertly guesses that Pam is screwing Archer. Archer really needs to get his dick under control. Do you really need a lay when you're that far from the earth?? Then again, the likelihood that he would be killed up there was high (especially with him shooting off the space gun at random as if a broken window wouldn't murder them all), so perhaps he was thinking of getting one more "taste of heaven" before he faced such a deadly mission. Either way, it is so messed up. I sort of feel bad for Pam, but she doesn't seem to mind that much being treated like a piece of meat since she did have sex with him before he came to save the day.
When Pam and Carol did show up, I was worried about what the commander was thinking of doing with the women because he wouldn't let Pam join the attack party. I thought it was my imagination until they reached the people they were trying to save who turned out to be the traitor faction all along (not that surprising with how suspicious the commander was acting). They intend to populate Mars with the women from ISIS (I hope that Mallory is excluded because she is beyond menopausal)?? Gross! Also, won't that take forever? There's also a great chance of inner-breeding with so few females around... I can imagine why they would want to do that before they have made Mars liveable for people. Also, a pregnancy in space? Man, that sounds like it would be a horror story.
I'm interested to see what the commander and the others are thinking. I'm not really sure how the ISIS crew will be able to escape when none of them are qualified to operate a space shuttle to get back home without the help of one of their captors. And what will they do with the men? Just hope that Archer and the others will join them? Can't see Archer doing that unless they offered him something really good. Last week's episode promises a good finale this Thursday.
