Trivia
Pam says, "It's like Schindler's List (1993) up in here and I'm like that little Gandhi dude." She is referring to Oskar Schindler's bookkeeper, Itzhak Stern, played by Ben Kingsley, who also played the title character in Gandhi (1982).

Goofs
While the head of the KGB is talking on an older style phone, the phone can be seen in front of him with the receiver still in its cradle.

Quotes
Cyril Figgis: This isn't my fault.
Sterling Archer: It's exactly your fault, idiot. When mother found out you cheated on Lana...
Cyril Figgis: You cheated on Lana plenty!
Sterling Archer: Yeah, but with starlets, models, oh, and one time two actual princesses.
Pam: Two at the same time?
Sterling Archer: Yeah, they were sisters.
Pam: Sploosh.

Archer Season 1

Maybe not the best episode to close this season on, but a solid one nonetheless.

This *** comedy centers on a dysfunctional spy agency. Season 1 of Archer suffers from some minor problems but overall I found the mix of smugness, interesting characters and a lot of wit to actually back up the humor it goes for.
