Communication with Archer




Archer is the main character in the show.  In the episode I watched, a solider in uniform shocked Archer with jumper cables.  A distinguished lady with a suit seems to be Archer's boss.  She tells others to do things to him.  The lady with the tall boots and brown hair is his partner.  They became intimate.  After that, their relationship became more childish in nature, by knocking items out of Archer's hands.  Many of the women Archer comes in contact with have intimate relationships with him.  The relationships turn into relationships without trust and/or disgust.  Archer seems to manipulate his relationships and in turn, people find it difficult to trust or understand why he does certain things.
 
I feel the characters in the show do not like Archer.  The body language expressed that people do not believe what Archer tells them after they learn he will manipulate the situation.  The characters expressed nonverbally their dislike for the way Archer presents himself both professionally and personally.  Archer seemed to ignore their non-verbal cures.
 
The assumptions I made was the woman in the suit was Archer's boss and the woman with the tall boots and brown hair was his partner.  I assumed the man in the uniform was trying to harm Archer by getting him to tell secrets.  The assumptions I did make were correct about the relationships.  The assumptions about the details about how the relationships came to be was inaccurate.
 
The lady I thought was Archer's boss is his mother.  The lady with the tall boots and brown hair was Archer girlfriend for several months.  The man in the uniform worked with Archer and his mother told the man in uniform to simulate a very uncomfortable situation to test if he would revel the secrets.  The man in the uniform was found later in the episode that he was a spy.
 
I feel I would have been more accurate with a show I have seen before.  I would understand the details of the characters.  I would have a better understanding about why they make certain decision and how they feel about different ideas.  I would also have a better idea of the inner working of the show.  I feel I have developed a relationship with the characters in the show I enjoyed watching.

  1. Rohzawne, Great post! I’m not sure if watching a show you was familiar with would have made as much as a difference as you think. I watch a show that I have to watch every week and I learned that my nonverbal experience was actually more exciting than my verbal experience. I learn people make a lot of expressions and gestures to excite you but their words don’t really match it at times.
