I got the chance to meet jessica walter at a con...i was doing a archer cosplay complete with tatictilneck over my suit. She looks at me sighs; shakes her head and says in character "sterling you idiot...what part of undercover don't you understand"
Ron Cadillac was played by Jessica Walters real life husband Ron Leibman. He passed away in 2019 so seeing them reunited on screen watching the sunset is such a lovely and poignant tribute for both actors and the perfect way to say goodbye
I really felt like the episode as a whole was incredible, full of emotion, and this was easily one of the most dignified send off of a character under these circumstances I’ve ever seen in any show. They knocked it outta the park on this one.
I kinda wish that Malory was killed as comeuppance for being nothing less than an absolute MONSTER. Still glad she was sent off but I like a little justice
“How is my lady love” “ infinitely better now” When you realize that was not just for seeing Ron and show but her seeing her husband in heaven that’s just beautiful
I just finished the episode and got a bit teary. Just saw your comment and replayed his last few words and his voice is genuinely trembling, that made my tear up again.
@@aidanmullard8508 May not even have been a performance, they’ve all been working on this show for how long now, losing someone you’ve worked with for so long out of the blue can’t be easy
A little show can bring the best of people together no matter what the world may bring! They may not have even seen or met each other, but on screen they made magic and that cannot be replaced by God or anyone! RIP, and may Archer go on to avenge his mother’s death!😘👍🖕🏻😩😉😢🥺😭
For those who hadn't picked it up because you're not worryingly obsessed with this show like I am, lol- Mallory's last two lines: "If I see this glass empty again, I'm going to be very unhappy" and "Infinitely better, now" were recycled lines from previous episodes. This isn't a bad thing, or lazy writing. In fact I believe it to be a purposeful tribute to her character. We get one last glimpse of her entitled, yet unrelentingly strong nature with her telling the guy serving her drinks to not let her glass get empty again. And also the romantic companionship between her and Ron, who she is _retiring_ with by using one of the first lines she ever said to him on the show. Ron's line "how's my lady love?" is also the same thing said from the first episode he appears in. Both amazing voice actors gone and remembered through their characters. R.i.p.
Yes! As soon as she said that I remembered her saying it to woodlouse in vice, I believe! Her departure was really, really sad, but they did a wonderful job.
I assumed they were recycled, but it's nice to know Ron's line have done structural purpose to call back to that first meeting. While Mallory's lines are to tell the audience that she's just fine and happy. It's oddly reassuring
This is the proper way to reuse voice actor's lines for a sendoff... unlike South Park did with Issac Hayes (drama aside from that one, it was very clear that they were pieced together the entire episode).
Thing is, I’d never realised Jessica Walter had died until I watched this episode and realised the significance of the beach and the white clothing. I made the connection, and then that final card. Only then did I look into it and realise she’d already been gone for months. Man that hit harder than expected
Ron, her on screen husband was also played by her in real life husband. Who passed a year or two ago. So it was even more fitting and nice to have them both there.
Same, then I came here and realized Ron Leibman was her IRL husband and he had died in 2019 and this scene just gets extra heavy from there. RIP Ron Leibman and Jessica Walter aka Ron FRICKING Cadillac and Mallory Archer.
You can tell Arcer's voice actor was trying his hardest not to cry as he was reading his Farwell lines. It not easy saying goodbye to a family member or a dear friend who has passed way.
Not gonna lie, this pulled some tears. The show won’t be the same without her. I do love how her final scene was with Ron Cadillac (Voiced by her real life husband who passed earlier on) reunited in a metaphorical paradise. May they both forever Rest In Peace…. I’m curious now if the show will continue?
@@foxybeast7244 For real? I remember when they said season 11 would be the last season, then we got a 12th season. Now we're getting a 13th season? The show's as unkillable as Sterling!
"Take care of yourself, especially you my Sterling. Because from wherever I am I will be watching over you. Love mother..." Won't lie that part made me shed tears.
You can hear H. Jon Benjamin's voice shake towards the end. It's funny, for one of the most hilarious shows I know, Archer really knows how to hit people in the feels.
@@antwhite1987 the show’s really not even exceptional in sad scenes, but it’s so good at selling the characters you get invested. So you feel their sadness as if it happened to a friend.
The last part where Ron and Malory are holding hands, their voices are from different clips in the show, I remember all of em. This scene actually made me cry
Same I’m rewatching archer and I’m at season 5 episode I wanna say 9? And hearing her say to woodhouse the thing about the glass being empty send some chills up my spine and I had to watch this again
I consider this an ending of "Archer" for me. Some might still watching till the recent episodes, some stopped before/while coma seasons, but this feels like a genuine way to tell the story. As much as I like how Archer doesn't get frozen in time and shows that life moves on, his colleagues having their arcs and new verges, his kids are getting older, it can't last forever.
Only after it ended and they said “In Loving Memory of Jessica Walter”, did the tears start to actually flow. 😢 I didn’t know she had died until after I saw that. God rest her soul. The series will never be the same without her. 😔
It's dead already. As much as I appreciate Aisha Tyler(Lana), Amber Nash(Pam) and Judy Greer(Cheryl), they'll never replace Jessica if they were the last women on Earth.
@Danny Thomas - Malory mostly just sat on the side talking and drinking, but still, without her voice and personality on the show it’ll never be just as good. If anything by I think they should just do one final Season where Archer finally meets his father and then end it.
This was so moving. They did it brilliantly. Adult cartoons seem to say goodbye the best way. I thought they said goodbye to Woodhouse in a great way too. And how Family Guy said goodbye to Carrie Fisher and Adam West.
@@Kriptiko true, but that was Family Guy's way and you know Carrie would have loved it. But they did do her justice as well with Seth (Peter) giving a very touching eulogy, though in Family Guy fashion they had to end with a joke.
To this day I still think Adam West (Mayor West) was in a roundabout way the best character. Stay with me on this one. I grew up watching reruns of the late 60s Batman series and I had no idea rl Adam West was that zany.
This was the best send off for somebody that I've ever seen. Malory and Ron reunited under the sunset just like Jessica Walters and Ron Liebman. Rest in peace both of you. You'll be missed immensely
When I heard of Jessica’s passing, I wondered how the show would address it. And I could’ve come up with exactly one zillion scenarios that would never come close to being as emotionally satisfying as this.
i half expected them to kill her off screen and archer finds out and is really sad. but this works too. then again knowing mallory she probably wrote that letter ahead of time and did die off screen just so she wouldn't want archer to be all that sad
@@mevan883 i think they showed this really well when he woke up from the coma, finding that mallory was by his side every hour of the day for 3 years because she wanted to be the first one he saw when he woke up :< I love this show
Right?! Something similar happened with my grandfather this year, and it made me ball like a little girl 😭. May they all rest in peace, and thank those people for being there in hard times
I must say even though the season was short and actually ended on both of cliffhanger and a beautiful ending for both the passing of Ron and Jessica but given them their final goodbyes is a beautiful way to say farewell to the season and their characters and then be together on the beach holding hands is a beautiful way to say they're in a better place
I was genuinely worried about how the writers would handle Jessica's passing - and they did it perfectly. With poignancy, grace and that wonderful edge that made Mallory who she is. A truly brilliant send-off. Goodbye Archer. RIP Miss Walters.
Have always loved Archer and Arrested Development for Jessica Walter. My own mom passed away a week before Jessica Walter did. During that time I turned to rewatching the show to lift my spirits. The send off here was absolutely beautiful, and triggered that grief in a positive way. I was worried about how they would handle this in the show, and I don't think they could have done better. That letter hit me so hard, but man am I glad to see how much everyone loved her. Rest in peace, and thanks for helping me heal. 🙏
I just finished Season 12 last night and this scene felt like the finale to the entire series. I didn’t know what was going on until Archer’s voice started to break and we saw Malory relaxing peacefully on the beach with Ron Cadillac. Such a heartbreakingly beautiful send off for such an unforgettable and irreplaceable character. The show will never be the same. A thousand thanks to Jessica Walter for making it that way. #RIPMaloryArcher #RIPJessicaWalter
There’s still a lot of loose ends to tie up so I think if anything they should have one final season to complete remaining character arcs and resolve any remaining conflicts like Archer and his daughter and Lana.
Never thought I would feel so sad from watching Archer, honestly this is such a beautiful ending, I'm sure she would of loved it , she was lucky to pass away in her sleep is such a sweet way to go , no pain . May she rest in peace 🕊️ she definitely will be missed but she's with the love of her life again. Good bye Mama Bird 🕊️
I was really hoping for a tribute to Jessica Walter, they would do the same thing they did when Archer woke up in season 10 with a montage of her best moments but I wasn't disappointed either. Either way, R.I.P. Jessica Walter. She's now with Ron.
Hearing Jon Benjamin's voice almost cracking made the reading so much more impactful. I never thought Archer, of all shows, would make me tear up the way these last few seconds of this episode did. They really wrote off Jessica in a beautiful and well-deserved way. RIP Mallory and Ron.
Hopefully I'll be there joining them with a infinitely spawning cooler assorted energy drinks and green tea and sushi in hand as well as other favorite foods of mine watching this is sunrise and the sunset along with my friends and family who have passed on
I have been rewatching season 1 - 11 over and over for the past few months, and finally gathered the courage to watch the last season with Jessica Walter. I have been putting this off for some time as I never wanted it to end. What a wonderful send off. Absolutely beautiful. I can’t stop crying, I am a babbling mess. Finally back together at last. RIP Jessica and Ron.
Three parts of Archer have made me cry: The ending scene in Archer vice when sterling was face down in the pool When Sterling woke up and Mallory was there This particular scene. Fairwell, Mrs Archer. 💔🤍🕊️
I’ve been with these characters for so long. The show helped me smile through some tough times. But didn’t think I’d be this emotionally attached to them. Genuinely made me cry to find out Jessica Walters had passed with this tribute.. and what a beautiful tribute. Thank you for all your work Archer Team
Unfortunately sad circumstances but I really wasn't expecting the episode to end on such a sad yet beautiful note. The way the note was written to both her sweet Sterling and also to us the adoring audience, the way archers voice breaks, showing us her and Ron enjoying the rest of their days drinking cocktails. Didn't see it coming and it left me a total wreck. RIP Jessica Walter, you will be truly missed. "Infinity better now"
Jessica Walters was a fantastic actress so excessive yet so warm at the same time saying and doing things that felt mad yet always with that smile that let you know that it was all good I hope she is doing well wherever she may reside knowing that she will never be forgotten and that we'll all be that little bit happier to have been able to see her in all that she did.
quite a beautiful way to say goodbye to Jessica Walters character Mallory and a beautiful way to end both the season and her character plus sinaran again is a tree because I had no idea his voice actor was married to Jessica and Mia life and who sadly passed away a couple of years ago and this is both a beautiful way to say goodbye to both of them and that they're reunited again in Paradise
Totally had forgotten she passed so watching this really got me… archer was the show to watch for me back in high school especially early on, ngl I even embodied some of archers jokes and confidence to bully the shit out of my Cyril in real life, this show is huge to me and to see now three stars of it gone really fucks me up. Definitely gonna cry when I see this show end for good
Thank you Jessica Walter for playing Mallory Archer for 12 years, I hope your legacy never dies and I’m sure you’re happy to see Ron in Heaven R.I.P 😥😥😥
Just started archer recently on netflix and it's been a ride, Malory was a great and fun character, all my respect for Jessica Walters may she Rest in Peace.
That got me in tears hearing archer’s voice breaking down and Mother and ron is enjoying their final moments before flying up to heaven 😔🙏😢 Rest In Peace Jessica Walter the legendary voice actor of Malory Archer you will be missed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Before watching this episode I was already aware of Jessica Walter’s passing so I expected them to just make Malory die in a very sad, dramatic and (possibly) comedic way. Little did I know they gave her an even better and happier ending and I couldn’t be more satisfied with it.
Good bye Mallory Archer you have always been sort of a good mother to sterling and sort of been a good spy agency boss now enjoy your time now(Rest in peace Jessica Walter). Now let Sterling, Lana and the other takeover now until they mess something but always sort of pull through.
The first time i ever saw this scene, i thought it was a pretty fitting end for Mallory as a character having her pass on the torch to Archer and then live out her days in retirement with Ron it was a truly satisfying way to officially put her arc in the series to rest!
This was the most beautiful way ever to send them off into the sunset. I shall miss Jessica Walter as Mallory hugely. May God rest them both easy, and I thank them both for the laughs. ❤
I didn’t realize I could cry so easily and so quickly. It was damn near on cue. This one got me. Hit me hard. I didn’t know Ron was Jessica’s real-life husband.
Jessica Walter’s death was something unexpected for me. Seeing this made me tear up and hearing John. H Benjamin’s voice starting to give out let out the water works. Ron and Malory are both together so is Ron and Jessica they’re together now drinking martinis together. That’s something beautiful.
This year hasn't been the most publicized celebrity death year, but it's been one of the worst. Trevor Moore, Norm McDonald and now Jessica Walter. I didn't realize she passed until now.
"So I've decided to pass the torch, try not to burn yourself with it" that line fuckin killed me. Ignorant right to the end I'll fuckin miss Mallory beyond belief.
Truly fitting to have Ron and Mallory staring off into the sunset. Jessica Walter would’ve loved this fitting send off to her fan favorite character and her husband.🥃💙
Damn....I have missed so much of Archer. First, Woodhouse. Now, Malory. 😥😥😢😢 RIP to two great actors for the show. You will be missed and never forgotten.
Been watching Archer since the beginning and we've seen some greats leave us throughout. Thank you for all you did and the laughs. You'll always be remembered.
Thanks for the laughs Jessica. You may be “Mallory” to some, “ Lucile Bluth” to others, but I’ll always remember you as “President Garcia Thompson” from PCU. Truly the funniest movie I had ever seen at that time, a true gem for a silly 13 year old awkward kid in 1995. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I had a lump in my throat and could feel tears coming, seeing them both on screen watching the sunset was quite symbolic. Not only has the metaphorical sun set on their career but also on their lives, so beautiful and an amazing send off done right. No hasty off screen death told about on a phone call or email rather a quiet and believable departure. To the writers of archer you guys have done a great job bringing closure to their respective characters and honestly created one of the most respectful and heartfelt moments in recent tv history, archer will never be the same without malorie or ron but they will continue to be immortalised both in the show and in our hearts. Rest in peace Jessica Walters and Ron leibman 😔
I was glad they didn't just kill her off. Only issue i have is i didn't feel they needed to go about the episode how they did to suddenly out of no where get this ending but thats just me.
They wrote it perfectly. Malory and Ron retiring on their own terms. Jessica was such a brilliant actress both her and in her many roles, and she will be loved and appreciated for years to come
This honestly was the first time in my 32 years of life where an actor’s death hit hard. It’s clear this cast is very close. I’m glad they gave her the proper send off.
This was a beautiful way to send Mallory and Ron off as they never actually had a moment for him other than a memory of his real name after an episode as they did for Jessica here. I know they're both probably sitting on a beautiful beach looking at the water and sun holding hands. We will never forget these two amazing actors and characters. Rest easy Jessica And Ronald!!!
I love this! THis and the moment earlier with Lana and Archer---damn this show is funny and heartwarming at the same time! Sidebar: You guys catch the callback to Mallory's special friend at 0:11? LOL I can't believe nobody caught that.
Reminds me one particular art work that I saw...Stan Lee and Doctor Strange walking over to a portal where he can see his wife beyond the portal on a beach...still sad
I freaking cried at this realising that the voice actor for Mallory passed away and with the scene with Ron (her real life husband who passed away earlier) it was a touching tribute 😢
It's kinda sad for the voice talents passing in 2021 like the famous Ed Asner died at the age of 91, Christopher Plummer died at the age 0f 90, Jack Angel same age as Chris. Now, we lost Betty White at the end of 2021 before her 100th Birthday since June Foray in 2017. What a tragedy last year. You all shall be missed but not forgotten. :(
The significance of this scene, having them reunited at the end was truly a work of art. Knowing that Ron died in 2019 and seeing them both "with" each other til the end, was perfection. Forever loving Archer! Won't be the same without her ♥️ May they both R.I.P.
This really was the perfect way to end the show, but it was renewed for season 13. I got all I wanted from archer and lana, they don't need to milk another season off if the epic foundation this show had. it's so sad when they overwelcome their stay
I got the chance to meet jessica walter at a con...i was doing a archer cosplay complete with tatictilneck over my suit. She looks at me sighs; shakes her head and says in character "sterling you idiot...what part of undercover don't you understand"
Thats epic❤❤❤❤❤
That's a win to remember.
Best con interaction in history.
🙏💜💜💜
Pure distilled victory.
Ron Cadillac was played by Jessica Walters real life husband Ron Leibman. He passed away in 2019 so seeing them reunited on screen watching the sunset is such a lovely and poignant tribute for both actors and the perfect way to say goodbye
R.I.P 🙏 She and her husband are in a place where they can share cocktails together😔
Sobbing rn
😍 beautiful
☹️
This was beautiful. Thank you.
Hearing H. Jon Benjamin's voice crack at the end did me in. Fuck.
Same.
Same all the way.
I could feel the grief on his voice
But he died first?
I think you’ve got the actors confused here - OP’s talking about Archer’s voice actor, not Ron’s
I love how they killed her off without actually killing her off. They retired Mallory Archer from the show in a very dignified way.
I really felt like the episode as a whole was incredible, full of emotion, and this was easily one of the most dignified send off of a character under these circumstances I’ve ever seen in any show. They knocked it outta the park on this one.
Malory chose to go out like a true spy. Secretly retiring and fading away off the grid, completely undetected and on her own terms. 🖤
You could tell in one or two scenes her voice sounded weak so they knew this was on the cards and they ended it very well indeed
I kinda wish that Malory was killed as comeuppance for being nothing less than an absolute MONSTER. Still glad she was sent off but I like a little justice
@@Historyandlegends789 Fascinating bullshit
“How is my lady love”
“ infinitely better now”
When you realize that was not just for seeing Ron and show but her seeing her husband in heaven that’s just beautiful
Best part about it is that was the first thing Ron said in the show
It honestly sounded like Benjamin was about to break down for real by the end of it. What a wonderful send off. RIP Jessica and Ron.
I just finished the episode and got a bit teary. Just saw your comment and replayed his last few words and his voice is genuinely trembling, that made my tear up again.
You can hear the quiver in his voice in that last line, such a good performance
@@aidanmullard8508 May not even have been a performance, they’ve all been working on this show for how long now, losing someone you’ve worked with for so long out of the blue can’t be easy
A little show can bring the best of people together no matter what the world may bring! They may not have even seen or met each other, but on screen they made magic and that cannot be replaced by God or anyone! RIP, and may Archer go on to avenge his mother’s death!😘👍🖕🏻😩😉😢🥺😭
Can't wait for the next season, even now I'm pacing to try and work off the adrenaline this season gave me
You can tell Jon got emotional when he read the ending of the letter
RIP Jessica Walter and Ron Leibman, we'll all miss u both.
'Cause he knew how good Jessica was. Same with Aisha(Lana), Judy(Cheryl) and even Amber(Pam)
I literally cried at this scene and still am 😭 May Jessica and Ron rest in peace together ❤️
Yeah.
Same.
I am about to
Well said
Yeah, I hope they’re living in the clouds, with wings on their backs😭😭😔

It’s the dreamland ending all over again, when they spent that whole season paying tribute to woodhouse who’s voice actor had dies
I find the funniest shows the most capable of making me cry. It's strange, laughter and sadness have a powerful connection
I must say even though the season was short and actually ended on both of cliffhanger and a beautiful ending for both the passing of Ron and Jessica but given them their final goodbyes is a beautiful way to say farewell to the season and their characters and then be together on the beach holding hands is a beautiful way to say they're in a better place

I guarantee you that this show is already dead, 'cause good shows always turn to shit when a legend dies.
Well they got renewed for 13 let’s see how it is
@@Grazza1129 Hopefully AJ gets to know who her grandpa is.
There’s still a lot of loose ends to tie up so I think if anything they should have one final season to complete remaining character arcs and resolve any remaining conflicts like Archer and his daughter and Lana.
Never thought I would feel so sad from watching Archer, honestly this is such a beautiful ending, I'm sure she would of loved it , she was lucky to pass away in her sleep is such a sweet way to go , no pain .
May she rest in peace 🕊️ she definitely will be missed but she's with the love of her life again.
Good bye Mama Bird 🕊️
Oh my goodness man. I never thought I’d be sad either going in watching this show.
That hit hard.
2nd time today I've seen it... It still does. 😔
I was really hoping for a tribute to Jessica Walter, they would do the same thing they did when Archer woke up in season 10 with a montage of her best moments but I wasn't disappointed either. Either way, R.I.P. Jessica Walter. She's now with Ron.
Someone COULD make that, quick someone do that.
Maybe with a female cover of Danger Zone, but like a more cabaret style.
I feel like this is how Malory would want to go. Not a montage, but just know that she cares.
that was so classy. almost shed a tear when Sterling's voice cracked at the end
That was Jon Benjamin and the rest of the cast saying goodbye, thank you Jessica, wherever you are I hope theres not an empty glass in sight.
Even though Mallory's farewell didn't make sense narratively, the scene still make me cry. Rest in Peace Jessica Walter.
What does make sense in Archer? Haha
Hearing Jon Benjamin's voice almost cracking made the reading so much more impactful. I never thought Archer, of all shows, would make me tear up the way these last few seconds of this episode did. They really wrote off Jessica in a beautiful and well-deserved way.
RIP Mallory and Ron.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
If that isn't a famous quote, it should be.
It's a familiar quote
@@patrickborunda4749 its okay to cry. Not only okay its important to let it out.
Season 13 coming boiiiiii
You should literally do both. I hate this quote so much.
1:10 Ron Leibman reuniting with Jessica Walter in Heaven.
Hopefully I'll be there joining them with a infinitely spawning cooler assorted energy drinks and green tea and sushi in hand as well as other favorite foods of mine watching this is sunrise and the sunset along with my friends and family who have passed on
I have been rewatching season 1 - 11 over and over for the past few months, and finally gathered the courage to watch the last season with Jessica Walter. I have been putting this off for some time as I never wanted it to end. What a wonderful send off. Absolutely beautiful. I can’t stop crying, I am a babbling mess.
Finally back together at last.
RIP Jessica and Ron.
This show pulled me out of depression 😭It will be so different without her 💔🕊️
I truly do believe this show can cure my depression over time
Three parts of Archer have made me cry:
The ending scene in Archer vice when sterling was face down in the pool
When Sterling woke up and Mallory was there
This particular scene.
Fairwell, Mrs Archer. 💔🤍🕊️
It's kind of funny how half the times I've cried during this show, Malory was on screen.
God, I still miss her.
This ending is pretty much the epitome of ‘just right’. Well done, Archer crew, and RIP Jessica and Ron. You’re sorely missed.
I’ve been with these characters for so long. The show helped me smile through some tough times. But didn’t think I’d be this emotionally attached to them. Genuinely made me cry to find out Jessica Walters had passed with this tribute.. and what a beautiful tribute. Thank you for all your work Archer Team
She was.one of.the best there ,she's in a better place now
Now that's how you respectfully write off a decease character.
Unfortunately sad circumstances but I really wasn't expecting the episode to end on such a sad yet beautiful note. The way the note was written to both her sweet Sterling and also to us the adoring audience, the way archers voice breaks, showing us her and Ron enjoying the rest of their days drinking cocktails. Didn't see it coming and it left me a total wreck. RIP Jessica Walter, you will be truly missed. "Infinity better now"
Jessica Walters was a fantastic actress so excessive yet so warm at the same time saying and doing things that felt mad yet always with that smile that let you know that it was all good I hope she is doing well wherever she may reside knowing that she will never be forgotten and that we'll all be that little bit happier to have been able to see her in all that she did.
I've cried because of TV twice, this was the second time. What a perfect goodbye, we love you Malory. Rest in power.
Upon seeing each other again.
Ron Leibman: And how is my lady love?
Jessica Walter: Infinitely better now.
quite a beautiful way to say goodbye to Jessica Walters character Mallory and a beautiful way to end both the season and her character plus sinaran again is a tree because I had no idea his voice actor was married to Jessica and Mia life and who sadly passed away a couple of years ago and this is both a beautiful way to say goodbye to both of them and that they're reunited again in Paradise
Totally had forgotten she passed so watching this really got me… archer was the show to watch for me back in high school especially early on, ngl I even embodied some of archers jokes and confidence to bully the shit out of my Cyril in real life, this show is huge to me and to see now three stars of it gone really fucks me up. Definitely gonna cry when I see this show end for good
Thank you Jessica Walter for playing Mallory Archer for 12 years, I hope your legacy never dies and I’m sure you’re happy to see Ron in Heaven R.I.P 😥😥😥
Just started archer recently on netflix and it's been a ride, Malory was a great and fun character, all my respect for Jessica Walters may she Rest in Peace.
You don't expect Archer to make you shed a tear but in 2021, anything can happen. R.I.P Ron and Jessica.
That got me in tears hearing archer’s voice breaking down and Mother and ron is enjoying their final moments before flying up to heaven 😔🙏😢
Rest In Peace Jessica Walter the legendary voice actor of Malory Archer you will be missed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Before watching this episode I was already aware of Jessica Walter’s passing so I expected them to just make Malory die in a very sad, dramatic and (possibly) comedic way. Little did I know they gave her an even better and happier ending and I couldn’t be more satisfied with it.
This honestly was a beautiful send off to the character and more importantly the actress that brought Mallory to life. R.I.P Jessica Walter
The show needs to draw to a close. Soon. Rest in peace Jessica Walter.
The fact that you can here H. Jon Benjamin tearing up 😭😭😭😭
Hear?
@@llarmstrong783 😒
That was a beautiful sendoff. Thanks for the ride for 12 seasons, Jessica.
Good bye Mallory Archer you have always been sort of a good mother to sterling and sort of been a good spy agency boss now enjoy your time now(Rest in peace Jessica Walter). Now let Sterling, Lana and the other takeover now until they mess something but always sort of pull through.
Which is to say it won’t be the same. And the fact that they were sold to IIA…
Still a better mother than Beatrice, (Bojack Horseman's mom).
The first time i ever saw this scene, i thought it was a pretty fitting end for Mallory as a character having her pass on the torch to Archer and then live out her days in retirement with Ron it was a truly satisfying way to officially put her arc in the series to rest!
Having become so attached to each character in the show, this was an emotional and fitting farewell.
The only way that could have been MORE of a tearjerker is if we heard a familiar “yes mum” off screen
This hurts so bad...Malory was my favorite character RIP Jessica
This was the most beautiful way ever to send them off into the sunset. I shall miss Jessica Walter as Mallory hugely. May God rest them both easy, and I thank them both for the laughs. ❤
I didn’t realize I could cry so easily and so quickly. It was damn near on cue. This one got me. Hit me hard. I didn’t know Ron was Jessica’s real-life husband.
hearing sterlings voice crack at the end of the letter actually got me in tears. RIP Jessica Walters.
Jessica Walter’s death was something unexpected for me. Seeing this made me tear up and hearing John. H Benjamin’s voice starting to give out let out the water works. Ron and Malory are both together so is Ron and Jessica they’re together now drinking martinis together. That’s something beautiful.
This year hasn't been the most publicized celebrity death year, but it's been one of the worst. Trevor Moore, Norm McDonald and now Jessica Walter. I didn't realize she passed until now.
Rest in Peace Jessica and Ron. May you both find peace together in the after life. You both will be missed. :'(
"So I've decided to pass the torch, try not to burn yourself with it" that line fuckin killed me. Ignorant right to the end I'll fuckin miss Mallory beyond belief.
Truly fitting to have Ron and Mallory staring off into the sunset. Jessica Walter would’ve loved this fitting send off to her fan favorite character and her husband.🥃💙
This was really sweet. Like I literally cried.
And I am so happy they included Ron who was in fact her husband on RL
Damn....I have missed so much of Archer. First, Woodhouse. Now, Malory. 😥😥😢😢 RIP to two great actors for the show. You will be missed and never forgotten.
Been watching Archer since the beginning and we've seen some greats leave us throughout. Thank you for all you did and the laughs. You'll always be remembered.
R.I.P Jessica Walter, Ron Leibman, and others who passed on this show😇😔🙏
Thanks for the laughs Jessica. You may be “Mallory” to some, “ Lucile Bluth” to others, but I’ll always remember you as “President Garcia Thompson” from PCU. Truly the funniest movie I had ever seen at that time, a true gem for a silly 13 year old awkward kid in 1995. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I had a lump in my throat and could feel tears coming, seeing them both on screen watching the sunset was quite symbolic. Not only has the metaphorical sun set on their career but also on their lives, so beautiful and an amazing send off done right. No hasty off screen death told about on a phone call or email rather a quiet and believable departure. To the writers of archer you guys have done a great job bringing closure to their respective characters and honestly created one of the most respectful and heartfelt moments in recent tv history, archer will never be the same without malorie or ron but they will continue to be immortalised both in the show and in our hearts. Rest in peace Jessica Walters and Ron leibman 😔
The absence of the normally upbeat credits music was so chilling
I was glad they didn't just kill her off. Only issue i have is i didn't feel they needed to go about the episode how they did to suddenly out of no where get this ending but thats just me.
Archer may almost never nail heartwarming with some dark humor but this was very beautiful in its own way
They wrote it perfectly. Malory and Ron retiring on their own terms.
Jessica was such a brilliant actress both her and in her many roles, and she will be loved and appreciated for years to come
This honestly was the first time in my 32 years of life where an actor’s death hit hard. It’s clear this cast is very close. I’m glad they gave her the proper send off.
This was not only a good tribute to Jessica Walter, but also Ron Leibman. They got to be posthumously reunited! 😭
Too bad they massacred my boy George.
This was a beautiful way to send Mallory and Ron off as they never actually had a moment for him other than a memory of his real name after an episode as they did for Jessica here. I know they're both probably sitting on a beautiful beach looking at the water and sun holding hands. We will never forget these two amazing actors and characters. Rest easy Jessica And Ronald!!!
one hell of a lady, one hell of a actress and one hell of a send off.
I love this! THis and the moment earlier with Lana and Archer---damn this show is funny and heartwarming at the same time!
Sidebar: You guys catch the callback to Mallory's special friend at 0:11? LOL I can't believe nobody caught that.
Yes caught that lol
Not a bumble bee is it
@@morningstar3033 take a picture!!
?
I did lmfao
Reminds me one particular art work that I saw...Stan Lee and Doctor Strange walking over to a portal where he can see his wife beyond the portal on a beach...still sad
I freaking cried at this realising that the voice actor for Mallory passed away and with the scene with Ron (her real life husband who passed away earlier) it was a touching tribute 😢
This is such a sweet tribute to both actors and the characters. So beautiful. I'm crying. RiP Jessica and Ron, thanks for the laughs and memories. ❤
This was done so well. If only disney would have sent Carrie Fisher off in such a dignified manner.
Well that just got me right in the feels
It's kinda sad for the voice talents passing in 2021 like the famous Ed Asner died at the age of 91, Christopher Plummer died at the age 0f 90, Jack Angel same age as Chris.
Now, we lost Betty White at the end of 2021 before her 100th Birthday since June Foray in 2017. What a tragedy last year. You all shall be missed but not forgotten. :(
The significance of this scene, having them reunited at the end was truly a work of art. Knowing that Ron died in 2019 and seeing them both "with" each other til the end, was perfection. Forever loving Archer! Won't be the same without her ♥️
May they both R.I.P.
This really was the perfect way to end the show, but it was renewed for season 13. I got all I wanted from archer and lana, they don't need to milk another season off if the epic foundation this show had. it's so sad when they overwelcome their stay
No they can’t in the season like that after they were just bought out by the IIA
She isn't dead she's just drinking the angels in heaven under the table.
🤣😭 You damn right!
6 months ago I didn't even know of this show, this scene just hits emotionally getting to know the character🥺
That letter was surprisingly wholesome.
RIP Jessica Walter.
