Nobody was listening.

You know, of course, that the FX “ARCHER” series on cable is built up around a clandestine agency that, by strange coincidence, carries the acronym of “ISIS”, but supposedly acts much like the “Torchwood” agency, a spinoff of BBC’s “Dr. Who”.

Nobody really understands the motivations of the characters or their degree of allegiance, and in any other universe, they would be rank amateurs. Maybe this explains the softness the Current Occupant feels for ISIS.

Seems like I heard the writers /producers of Archer actually thought about changing the name of the agency. Not familiar with 'Torchwood' Not a big fan of Dr Who TV shows, I read a dozen or two of the books back in the 70s and enjoyed them, but the TV show; old and modern seem poorly produced, poorly acted, and boringly written.
