Back in freshman year of high school, I was still on a Kevin Smith bent and rented Clerks from the library and watched it on my own. For some reason I liked it enough to inflict it onto my folks, thinking it'd make a prime movie to watch for a Saturday night flick. Starting with the infamous "Snowball" scene at the…

Dear AV Club, please use this picture from The Following from now on in all your articles. It deflates the show wonderfully.

Ray Donovan is now around long enough where I can claim it's actively trying to destroy the miracle of humanity.

WHERE'S THE PISS AND POO?

Spalding Gray was hilarious as the guy on the other end of that phone call.

When NBC first announced a "spinoff" to The Office, I anticipated it being newsroom related, mostly because of this movie. It seemed like a given, for whatever reason.

It's gotten to the point in watching this show that I'm using these reviews as a barometer of just how painful they'll be to watch before I sit down for them. It's not encouraging (especially for criticism) that they're always right on.

Shut up, I'm talking!

This is unrelated to anything in the film, but how do the titular cars and planes copulate and reproduce in this universe?

Ummmm, is this a Christopher Guest film that's underwraps?

That was cool, but when he swung a fire axe into that one terrorist in S8, who then falls down the stairwell, to add insult to injury, usurps that for me.

Jack looks like he ages 20 years when he finds out about Audrey's death. Kiefer is stellar in that scene.

It has to be Tony.

"R.I.P. Mrs. Fortenberry," no one said.

I hesitate to call him a dictator. Petty is an operative descriptor for Healy. Pornstache is far more dispicable because he's mostly aware of the demage he inflicts. Healy is more childish when he throws his tantrums. He's very patriarchal in his attitudes, yet you can't help but feel some sympathy for him as he calls…

I don't mind it. It fits with four years of isolation. Also, it fits with something that Zach mentioned in a recent review about the trouble Jack would have readapting into society, even with the presidential pardon.

With a sore throat.

I've really taken a shine to his score this season. I recently rewatched the entire series and Callery often reused some of his theme cues. I haven't heard him do that nearly as often in LAD, it's been a fresh, unique score. The four year break really helped him creatively.

Jack's been killing it at the one liners this year!

I could never get into S5 the way everyone else got on board it. I've been with the show practically since the beginning and I truly think S1-S3 was some of the best stuff the show made. Here's my current standing of all the seasons:
