Really like the idea of them doing a semi-reboot of the series. The first episode was a great setup for a new chapter.

 

I would actually LOVE to see this happen in a few other shows I watch. Do something bold and crazy like this. I know it is easier with an animated series, but still, it is doable in live action though.

It seems like this is a reboot and will be permanent. Thoughts?

 

According to the article the ratings have consistently gone up and hopefully this new turn will help that.

It will be weird and I'll miss ISIS but we had 4 great years with ISIS. At least this new turn will stop it from getting boring! Same writer and actors so I'm sure it will still be hilarious!

Honestly by season 4, the whole spy thing was getting kind of boring to me and the show was riding on its many hilarious one-liners. This season looks fantastic, so I'm glad they did the reboot.

It's not really a reboot, everything in the past seasons still happened. They're just taking it in a radical new direction, much like the Heart of Archness storyline.

 

Loved the episode and I'm sure I'll love the season. Archer is a pretty great show.

Was the end bit a preview of the rest of the season or a daydream by Archer imagining what could happen?

It was a preview. If you look up some of the interviews before the premiere they talk about the reboot, but what you saw is the new Archer. ISIS is done for good and his daydream is the new story arc.

Yeah I want to buy the country album :p

You'll probably be able to by the end of the season... :p

 

On how the hell you go about making a country album for a character in an animated sitcom?

It?s a real country album. A friend of ours, there?s a guy here in Atlanta named Kevn Kenny who has been around music forever. He?s awesome. He used to be in a band called Drivin? and Cryin?.

Kevn basically has made this album for us. I don?t know what it?s going to be called but right now it?s just called ?Cherlene Sings? or ?Cheryl Sings? or something like that. But it?s 12 country songs.

On whether Judy Greer does the singing as Cherlene?

No we hired somebody who sounds like Judy. Judy?s f*cking thrilled with it. She?s loving listening to this girl ?cause she wants to be able to sing. Judy is not a great singer. So she loves that she gets to pretend that she?s a great singer.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
