Where are all the Archer fans? Could it be because there's a two month gap between the previous episode and this one and some assumed the season was already over? Nah, that can't be it.
Sorry for the salt but I don't quite get the delay. Was Into the Cold not made until season 14 already started airing? Regardless, this was a mostly excellent episode, and a great sendoff to this wonderful show. There was a lot of cameos of old characters... some cameos bigger than others, and even a callback of the very first line of dialog in the series. A decent balance between action and touching moments; I look forward to watching it again.
The finale picks up with the UN threatening to make private spy agencies illegal, so the team of ISIS (yes, I still call them that but hopefully I'm not the only one) needs a big win to sway the vote. A simple enough story with a relatively satisfying conclusion. I only have one criticism with the season as a whole and one for the episode itself. Season 14 debuts a new character, Zara, who is completely unnecessary to the show as she didn't do anything that already established characters couldn't have done, especially given all the cameos here. It's a shame we never got to do anything with Pam's and, to a lesser extent, Cyril's family like we have with everyone else's (except Krieger but he's a clone anyway). The other is a macguffin Krieger finds in the office that doesn't really go anywhere. I'm trying to avoid spoilers so I'll simply say that I know it had an intended purpose, it just wasn't needed at all to serve that purpose and would've been more interesting had it literally paid off the way it was built up.
Into the Cold wasn't the best story of the show, and 14 wasn't the worst season, but overall I enjoyed the both of them quite a bit, and I think most fans will as well. Too bad the show ended when it was starting to get really good again, but I guess that's... damn, I had something for this!
