And my new favorite Archer episode is...

El Sequestro from season 2! Not least because this was tattooed on Pam's back:

Season two isn't on DVD yet, but if you haven't seen this show, WATCH IT NOW.  Archer: Season 1

Moose are, truth be told, Élites. They are big and fast and sort of rule the forest. Sarah took that one down a notch. Who's Élite now, Bullwinkle?
