DEN OF GEEK: With Shapiro being set up early on in the season, did it make sense to have him be the one filling the role of bringing them work and outlining a case?

ADAM REED: That was more a product of Patton Oswalt being so damn great. After his first episode, the goal was to get as much Patton in there as possible.

Any decision between the five that you chose to be all glammed up, or did it always seem like these guys made the most sense?

I think the agency has always been divided between the self-styled “cool kids” – Archer, Lana and Malory – and the “geeks” – everybody else. Although Krieger obviously switched teams this time.
