It’s time to step back into the Danger Zone, because Archer and the gang are back for more adventures with the release of Archer: The Complete Season Six DVD! Now you can enjoy all 13 episodes again, along with some new special features.
Episode Highlights:
“The Holdout” – Following their stint as drug dealers (see Archer Vice), the spies are back in the good graces of the US Government and working with the CIA. While Sterling struggles to get past the revelation that he has a daughter, he is sent to Borneo to recover a computer from a downed plane. This episode also features a fantastic new office for the team.
“Three To Tango” – Conway Stern returns! Slater sends Lana and Archer on a mission to extract Stern, who was searching for a missing data drive containing a list of CIA operatives. While the new parents are away on their mission, the rest of the gang search for the missing A.J., who disappeared while in Malory’s care.
“Edie’s Wedding” – While heading to Wisconsin to attend Edie’s wedding, Pam and Archer are intercepted by Barry. When Barry takes Pam hostage, Archer and Edie must find a way to rescue her before he can kill her. Can Archer stop his cyborg arch-nemesis once and for all?
“Drastic Voyage: Parts 1 & 2” – First they went into space, then they traveled to the depths of the sea, and now Team Archer must face the perils of the human body! After a series of screw-ups, the team is given one last mission by the CIA. In order to save the life of a doctor who specializes in miniaturization, the team must shrink and use specialized technology to destroy a blood clot. If they fail, the team will be blacklisted from working in the spy world. Can they complete their mission and return to normal size in time? And what in the world is Krieger doing while the rest of the team is distracted?
Special Features
- Conan & Archer Battle Russian Mobsters – If you missed the Conan episode featuring a special guest appearance from Archer, you are now in luck! Conan steps into Archer’s world and helps the master spy take on Russian Mobsters.
- Slay-J
- Cooking with Milton – Toast anyone?
Overall
Archer Season Six was a great return to form for the spy agency. While Archer Vice was a solid break from the norm, you could tell that the creative team behind the series still had a number of spy-centric stories to share with the world. While it might have felt like a step backwards for some of the characters, it was definitely a big leap forward for Archer and Lana. Not only is the humor consistently up to par, but the show manages to evolve with time. Make sure you catch up on these episodes before you watch the Archer: Season Seven premiere!
ComicsOnline gives Archer: The Complete Season Six DVD – 5 out of 5 rescue attempts by Milton.
