I was a little disappointed with what they did at the end however, the rest of it was rather good.

I thought it was all brilliant. Saw Lana's pregnancy at the very start of the episode and called it out.

I loved all the subtle throwbacks to Sealab 2021. The insanity, the wrench, Bebop Cola!, Pod 6 ( those jerks ), and all the others. Great tribute to a once brilliant cartoon and to those of us who have stuck with them through out all their shows.

I thought the ending was great. Archer and Lana might actually end up together.....It's like a 1 step forward 3 steps back thing, but I think its working towards that.

*pokes nose* Booop.
