50"? Season 10 is going to be set in Archer’s subconscious version of space, with \"a 1970s vision of the future. Talk about a perfect pair.Because of these savvy changes, Pam has also been an ideal benchmark for creative growth, and as Reed keeps pushing his I’m not really sure what Pam is this year — I’m actually more sure, if not certain, that we’re not supposed to know what she is beyond a big, strong, alien creature with the same jovial personality and love of crude jokes that have always been ascribed to Pam. As Cheryl complains about the ship’s smells following a lengthy stay in hyper-sleep, Pam appears in the doorway, quipping, “Did somebody say ‘pants’?” As canned audience laughter fills the ship (presumably from Mother’s CPU), Pam walks over to her colleagues and finishes her thought: “Because I’m not wearing any.”More meta breaks pop up with Pam in future episodes, like when she tries to end the episode by looking into the camera for a “freeze frame” outro while Archer looks over her shoulder in bewilderment. Reed is as talented at world-building as he is dialogue, and if he wants to start over anew, whatever’s next will be worth watching. “Archer: 1999” is very much what “Archer” has been for the past three seasons and change: filled with lush visuals, quick wit, and inventive, genre-inspired storytelling. The episodes even jump quickly between genre staples, with one episode showing Archer & Co. chasing an escaped, face-hugging alien around the ship and another showing them squaring off in an intergalactic gladiator match. It will feature \"all ’70s clunky set design and production design\" with the feel of somebody’s \"idea of the future from 1970\". Really, either path makes sense.

Along with them are the self-appointed First Mate Cyril Figgis (Chris Parnell), fighter pilot extraordinaire Cheryl Tunt (Judy Greer), scientist and synthetic human Algernop Krieger (Lucky Yates), courtesan Ray Gillette (Adam Reed), and the ship’s CPU Mother, aka Malory (voiced by Jessica Walter).Similar to past seasons, each profession lines up with pre-established character traits, as Archer’s latest dreamworld conforms to the reality he’s come to know (which also helps satisfy fans who’ve come to love each character for who they are). The animation is stunning, as the shortened episode order (eight instead of 10) and release delay (FX has been giving the team an extra month or so for the past three seasons) accommodate brand new set and character designs, not to mention some snazzy VFX during the various space battles. There’s plenty more that could be done with and through the character, if Reed ever decides to blow up the “Archer” model entirely.Which leads us to the future: “Archer: 1999” is another strong entry in an ever-developing series. Gladys leaves them alone. Same goes for Krieger’s mad scientist whims, which peak when he gets to study dozens and dozens of alien eggs that his crew can’t stop eating.The cast dynamic remains a series’ strong suit, and yet Pam is still a stand-out. Reed, who wrote the first two episodes, acknowledges her crazy new form (and fan appeal) by introducing her via a sitcom punchline.

Archer: 1999 is an exciting addition to the series and it seems like it has more energy to it than Archer: Danger Island. The timing and jokes are still right on point.
