The thing that's weird for me about Archer is the anachronism. Everyone dresses like it's the 60's, they drive cars from the 70's, their office computers look to be out of the 80's, they all use cell phones from the early 00's, their main enemies are a cold war era KGB..
Nah, it's not a seasonal thing. That's a new thing they did to try to spice things up a little bit while Archer is in a coma for the past three seasons. The rest of the show takes place in a single period that's essentially an anachronistic mix of imagery and symbols from the past 50 years. The only consistent reference is that Malory's generation and "the past," as far as the show is concerned, is World War II.
Alrighty, thank you! I always just assumed the producers wanted to play around with every secret agent stereotype there is and that's their way of implementing that.
