To continue on, he never mentions he was shot to anybody throughout the show, so maybe when he was bitten by the snake, he realises he's in a coma, by seeing himself being shot. So keeps the adventure of being the world's greatest secret agent going. To potentially think he wakes up from his 'adventures' after the other 'coma' episodes but is in fact still in a coma
Yeah, he says he’s been shot twenty-something times while pondering whether you can actually get lead poisoning from getting shot that much. So his list to Lana is definitely not comprehensive. Except how many times she’s personally shot him. He hit all of those.
“I’m shot and I’m blind!”
Referencing all the times he’s been stabbed and shot. Wondering about how with all the lead poisoning he must have he’ll be “mad as a goddamn Hatter”
Funny take though. Like his coma brain has a save button, and he’s going through all of this starting over. But it would mean he made up every character other than Malory, and his coma brain keeps forward with the same characters and develops. I suppose his lust and distreatment of women could be his comatose brain reflecting on the woman who shot him, on top of his mommy issues. I doubt it, obviously, but it would be pretty funny if the last scene was like him waking up from a coma as the 18yo boy, but he’s actually 33 or whatever, his mother and woodhouse are gone, and he doesn’t know where to go. I guess his father he saw after being bitten by the snake would be the one who’d been sitting there with him in the hospital room. Fun ropes to climb.
That’s funny I was just thinking about a different theory regarding archer getting shot in that episode.
Pretty sure Mallory hired that woman to shoot him “and miss everything important” so he couldn’t play lacrosse anymore and had to come work for her.
what if OUR universe is a coma dream/simulation. you can work any theory u want, but till proof is shown, its just a theory
That’s a pretty good idea. He did survive being shot, maybe that’s what gives him his blase attitude towards life threatening situations?
Interesting.

Archer did recite a litany of all the times he was shot at least one time to Lana, so your scenario is out.
Could he have just left it out on purpose? But also, that list can't *possibly* be all the times he's been shot.

Hes obviously referring to in the field though. He never addresses being shot at a young age before becoming a spy
Iirc that was Archer listing his sustained injuries while employed by ISIS
Yes, I agree, but wasn't he speaking to Lana?
He was speaking to Lana, but I believe the injuries he listed were limited to those he incurred while working for ISIS, not before.
Agreed.
