List of episodes

Archer: Danger Island is the ninth season of the animated television series, Archer, created by Adam Reed. The second part of the "coma dream" trilogy (preceded by Archer Dreamland and followed by Archer 1999), consisting of eight episodes, it aired from April 25 to June 13, 2018, on FXX.[1]

Production[edit]

FXX announced that season 9 would, like season 8, be set in a different time period with the same voice cast playing different versions of their characters. Within the series' primary continuity, Sterling Archer, who was found shot in actress Veronica Deane's pool at the climax of season seven, remains in a coma, and the events of this season are another extended dream.

The season also pays homage to the short-lived 1980s television series Tales of the Gold Monkey which featured a very similar premise as Danger Island. Adam Reed has previously claimed that Tales of the Gold Monkey was "one of my favorite shows ever."[2]

Synopsis[edit]

The season sees Sterling Archer as an alcoholic seaplane pilot living on the lush and mysterious Pacific island of Mitimotu with Pam, his muscular co-pilot, and sidekick/best friend. Cheryl is cast as Charlotte Stratton, a honeymooner and a member of New York's high-class society who becomes stranded when her husband leaves after Archer slept with her, Malory is a fancy hotel owner and once more Archer's mother and employer, Ray is pompous French colonial gendarme, Capitaine Reynaud, Cyril is Siegbert Fuchs, the Nazi spy posing as a local businessman, Lana is Princess Lanaluakalani of Mitimotu's indigenous Polynesian population and Krieger is a sapient, wisecracking scarlet macaw named Crackers.[1] Archer's Nemesis is a German flying ace named Ziegler, who bears a striking resemblance to Barry. Ziegler shot Archer down five times during the Spanish Civil War due to the superiority of the German planes, one time causing Archer to lose an eye. Archer, his mother, Princess Lanaluakalani, and the Germans compete with each other to find a rumored valuable idol that is hidden on the island.

941"Strange Pilot"Adam ReedApril 25, 2018 (2018-04-25)XAR090010.51[3]

On the Pacific island and French colony of Mitimotu, seaplane pilot Archer spends a drunken night with newlywed Charlotte Stratton causing her husband to abandon her. Princess Lana and local businessman Siegbert Fuchs charter his aging seaplane, the Loose Goose, for a flight around the island and they are accompanied by co-pilot Pam and Crackers the talking parrot. The plane has fuel problems so Archer arranges for Lana, Fuchs, and Pam to parachute back down on the island followed by Crackers. However, just before the plane crashes, Archer manages to fix the problem and he keeps the plane aloft.

Lana, Fuchs, and Pam parachute down into Mitimotu Island's jungle but Fuchs has cracked ribs after an encounter with a huge tree python. Archer's plane is low on fuel so he crash lands in the main street of Mitimotu, destroying property and his plane's wings. Meanwhile, Mother has been trying to convince Charlotte, the stranded and penniless honeymooner to work as a prostitute. Archer and Capitaine Reynaud, the French gendarme, drive off into the jungle to find the survivors. They arrive just in time to rescue Lana, Fuchs, and Pam from being attacked by huge Komodo dragons and return to town.

Meanwhile, Lana and Fuchs are having an affair with each other, who is revealed to be after the same item. That night Archer, Pam, and Crackers break into Fuchs' room and copy his map of the idol's location while Cheryl entertains Fuchs, but she passes out after drinking too much. The next morning, Archer discovers that Pam's poorly copied map is useless.
974"A Warrior in Costume"Adam ReedMay 16, 2018 (2018-05-16)XAR090040.41[6]

While Pam repairs their plane's wings although Archer is critical of her workmanship, Archer's old nemesis, Ziegler, a German flying ace who shot Archer down five times during the Spanish Civil War, lands on the Island with a group of Germans. To get even with Ziegler, Archer takes off with Pam in one of the German planes and is followed by Ziegler. In the ensuing dogfight, Pam shoots down Ziegler's plane but Archer claims the credit. Unfortunately, their plane is damaged so Archer belly-lands into the ocean where they are soon surrounded by sharks.

Archer and Pam take off again in the Loose Goose to search for the rumored golden idol. They land the plane, but while trekking through the jungle they become caught in quicksand and are surrounded by aggressive monkeys. As their situation worsens, they blame each other for their predicament. Meanwhile, back in town, Malory, Capitaine Reynaud, and Charlotte drive out of town seeking the idol while Fuchs and the German soldiers do likewise. In the jungle, the monkeys are scared off by the arrival of the local Polynesian tribe, who kidnap Archer and Pam.
996"Some Remarks on Cannibalism"Adam ReedMay 30, 2018 (2018-05-30)XAR090060.37[8]

Princess Lanaluakalani's father berates her for showing Fuchs the map to the idol. She drives out into the jungle to stop Fuchs but runs into Malory's group. Crackers finds them and tells them of Archer and Pam's predicament, and Malory reluctantly agrees to detour and save them. Meanwhile, Archer and Pam have been captured by the local Mua Mua tribe who prepare to eat them. They meet Noah, an anthropologist studying the tribe, but he says he cannot interfere in the traditional ceremony. When the Mua Mua are called away to fend off an attack from another tribe, Archer and Pam free themselves. They are caught again by the Mua Mua, but after Archer saves them from being shot by a German soldier, they are invited to help the tribe wipe out the other Germans.

Malory's group finds Archer and Pam in the native village and Lanaluakalani is surprised when they treat Charlotte as a princess instead of her. When Fuchs has radioed for backup and a platoon of German stormtroopers land on a nearby beach, Archer is concerned that the tribe will not be able to defend themselves against the heavily armed Germans. Archer helps the tribe prepare to defend the village and set up booby traps, which has successfully wiped out the German troops and also defeated Fuchs who has donned a powered exoskeleton. Later that night, Archer and the others join in the tribe's victory celebrations.

Soon after, they are attacked by Fuchs who has followed them in his exoskeleton, seeking to use the idol to create a superweapon for Germany. A shoot-out ensues, which is only interrupted by the volcano cracking open and exposing flows of lava. Pam, Sterling, and Fuchs fall into a crevasse and are only saved by hanging onto Pam who has a grip on the edge. However, Archer loses his grip and he and Fuchs plummet towards a pool of flowing lava. The episode ends with a scene that suddenly shifts to show Archer aboard a spaceship.
