In Archer season 10 episode 8 titled "1999: Cubert", the crew of the M/V Seamus find themselves knee-deep in trouble once they learn of a stowaway onboard. That stowaway happens to be none other than Cubert Farnsworth, the disgruntled clone of Professor Farnsworth from the futuristic animated series Futurama.
Cubert sneaks onto the ship with his sidekick Dwight, who is a shape-shifting blob, and the two are seeking revenge on the Professor for creating them in the first place. Archer and the rest of the crew are caught in the middle of this feud, as they try to convince Cubert to let go of his anger towards the Professor.
The episode takes place in the year 1999, paying homage to the era with its retro-futuristic design and soundtrack. The animation style is reminiscent of classic science fiction cartoons like Johnny Quest and Star Blazers, which adds to the nostalgia factor.
As the crew attempts to reason with Cubert, they face obstacles such as a malfunctioning food printer and an attack from an unknown enemy ship. Meanwhile, Archer tries to make amends with Lana by being more attentive towards her and their daughter AJ.
As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that there is more to Cubert and Dwight's presence on the ship than just seeking revenge. The two have a hidden agenda and are using the crew for their own gain. Archer and his team must uncover their intentions before it's too late.
Through witty banter, action-packed fight scenes, and unexpected twists, "1999: Cubert" delivers an entertaining and nostalgic episode for fans of both Archer and Futurama. It's a fun ride with a satisfying conclusion that ties up loose ends while leaving room for future adventures.
