time in the Archer Universe is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up!!!
Okay so I noticed this while watching one of my favorite animated shows Archer a few nights ago: I haven't seen a fictional timeline that has been bent and worked over with an un-sanded 2X4 since Bioshock Infinte (or possibly Back to the Future). Okay so early in the second season Woodhouse talks about his time fighting in the western front in WW1 where he was roughly in his early 20s or late teens and during the time he was narrorating he was in his early eighties or late sixties. WW1 lasted from 1914 to 1918 which means that it must have been the sixties when Woodhouse was narrorating. Now in the same episode there is also a scene where Mallory gives birth to sterling in Nazi occupied north africa. According to wikipedia in the north african front lasted from 1940 to 1943 and Sterling Archer is in his mid to late 30s (probbably a parrallel to James Bond who Flemming said was always just shy of the M16 retierment age). So that means that the show must be taking place in the sixties. The plotholes only go further: Again early in season two the episode pipeline shows how Lana is recruited by ISIS; during that scene she is in college and wearing a mid to late 70s mod getup and considering she is in her late 20s early 30s in the show we can deduce that the show takes place in the 1980s. This would be backed up by how ISIS uses computers with CRT moniters but then again it could take place in a later time with Mallory just being too cheap to upgrade (classic her). But if ISIS uses CRT monitiers then how come Mallory can Facetime Cornell Jackov in Russia? And why does Kruger have have a robot arm (the one he uses for Carol/Cheryl's chocking fetish in season one) that is on par with robot arms today? Why do all the charcter's act with modern sensiblites? Why does Sterling mistake a Sikh for a muslim fundemetalist terrorist in season one if 9/11 hasn't happened yet?

Somebody make sense of this!

Also I only watched like 3 episodes of season two so don't spoil anything for me.
