I just want to scream obscenities at the top of my lungs. Such horrible, horrible news. When I go to my informal acting class tomorrow, I expect to see my teacher in tears, because she's always praised him and told her students to be open for spontaneity and to play against type and have fun, just as he did. I'm…

As soon as I read the words ON THE NOSE I stopped reading. Going to continue to enjoy the show without reading any reviews anywhere.

SyFy channel is eventually coming out with a series based on Twelve Monkeys. Good idea? I don't know. If it works out, maybe they can afford to get those "ys" replaced by the correct letters .

He was just so determined to eat that fiddler.

Yeah, it was sweet!

Wait till he starts smashing his head into the bathroom mirror, asking how's Annie. That would be cool.

That Tom Waits song being used in"40 OZ" made me very happy.

SPOILER FOR AN OLD SHOW:

Is it just me, or was it awfully mean-spirited of Piper to be nasty in regards to Larry's little Larry? Drunk or not, it's pretty insensitive, IMO, and I'm female.

I bet a clever person could say something about how it would be scary to live in that house! Boy howdy! Like, maybe, "I don't want to live in that house!! That would be scary!!!11!"

The secret of "The Secret of My Success" is that a lot more people tell a lot more other people that the movie was "The Secret of My Success" than anyone ever has in the past, making that information a lot less secret.

Who the heck is Radar?

I remember Rosa saying, in season one, "Nobody fucks with cancer." (She meant none of the inmates would want to fight her, but what a line in any context.) I definitely wanted to know her story back then, and I'm glad she got one this season.

It's scary, he looks like he'd break easily and shatter into pieces. What I found odd is that he's supposed to pass for Sparkly Edward's Sparkly Adoptive Father, yet he looks roughly the same age as his adoptees.

This show was so much fun, and so pretty to look at. The actors brought their A-games, for sure. I never expected to get so invested in it. But boy howdy, 8 episodes per year? That's so heartbreaking!

Well, it's like the thing about that guard observing that the conversations she overhears put her in mind of Dickens. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that I should start reading A Tale of Two Cities because then I would have an experience equal to watching OITNB. I don't know why a TV critic would jump all over…

It's….TWO! TWO! TWO white-male-antihero-show critiques in ONE!

Zachary Quinto from Heroes and Jason Ritter from The Event? Can't we get Zeljko Ivanek in Girls at some point, since he was one of the best actors those two worked with on those silly shows?

It's true—Louie has no butt for a man his size. Biology is so darned capricious.

Why is the expression "on-the-nose" used so often around the AV Club, both in the reviews and in the comments sections? Not just OITNB articles but loads of other articles. I don't know why anyone would get so pissed off by pointed symbolism and metaphors so often; it's just the nature of storytelling.
