Archer: "Motherless Child"

'Archer: "Motherless Child."'' Season 7, #4 (21 April 2016), #79 in running total of episodes. Adam Reed, credit as writer, creator. 22 minutes..

Relevant for Barry Dylan character, a once-fully-human cyborg whose human body/overlay was burned off in an earlier episode. Dylan appears wrapped in gauze in an allusion to The Invisible Man, unwrapped he looks like a grinning Terminator, the allusions — and many others — being typical of satire and part of the fun of the series. The Archer wiki properly handles most of the allusions under Trivia, but the theme of the episode is Dylan's looking for his birth-mother, a relatively serious use and mocking of the trope of the robot/android's search for a parent: father in BLADE RUNNER, creator in THE QUESTOR TAPES.
