Was disappointed in the last episode. When I saw that Barry had returned, I was really expecting an epic episode (like every other Barry episode). But this one was really weak. They didn't do anything or go anywhere. The entire episode takes place in the office, working on a computer, trying to find Barry's mom. Then, Archer spills a sport's drink on the floor and tries to get Barry to push a button? Pretty lame.

I agree. The only episode so far this season that I thought felt like a true Archer episode was last weekend's, where there were some great one liners, and Archer calmly explaining why he had to snap the guy's neck was priceless. I was really hoping the second part would be just as good, but it fell way flat. Archer, Lana, and Pam all disguising themselves as the robbers, only to wind up beating up each other, didn't do anything to change the outcome of the situation. The slow motion bean bags at the end was pretty good, though.
fantastic? Literally nothing happened the last episode. There was this great plot, where the girls were going to try and seduce the husband, and bet on who would win, and the guys did the same for the wife, except nothing actually transpired. They wound up just running into each other in the hotel and got into a random fight. There was nothing that actually moved the story forward, and there weren't any funny lines or scenes whatsoever. How does that equal fantastic?

They also only have 20 minutes. The comedy of this episode was the setup for the case and the impromptu fight at the end. They don't have a lot of time.
The best part for me was how everyone rallied around Pam the moment he insulted her, with Archer being the first to throw the plan out the window and start punching to support Pam. That's pretty subtle compared to most shows like this.

I too like that. It lends weight to her being Archers best friend despite all the shit talking.
It's not any shorter than any of the other seasons, and they always managed to get a lot of shit done before. This season just seems to be a lot of build up, for a weak conclusion.
