Rookie
The second season was pretty boring to me, but this one was good. Sure, there weren't any huge twists, but the story and production were much better than last year.
Just realised
Frank didn't kill anyone this season
*It's funny to me that people actually "like" Frank. I don't think dude has one single redeeming quality as a character. Misappropriating funds for a ass job bill and in the process usurping entitlement programs (who the fukk is trying to work until they're 77?), pissing on his father's grave; the shyt at the church (breh, I'm a damn agnostic), etc. Even Freddy doesn't like Frank. shyt, Claire is realizing now that she doesn't "like" Frank. People tolerate him, but I legit can't see how a mofo could "like" him -- real life or otherwise. As for Claire, at least she has some semblance of humanity and veracity in her. Frank has none, zilch. When Claire told Petrov shame on him for Corrigan's death, Frank would have never done that. I'm much more partial to Claire as a character than I am to Frank.
* I don't think Claire or Jackie are fine or anything. I actually hope I never see ol' girl that plays Jackie nude again. She does absolutely nothing for me on a sexual level. Back to to Claire, don't think she's "bad," either. Her character does have great sense of style on the show or whatever. The baddest woman on the show is Cynthia, in my opinion. For full disclosure, my interest in white women on a scale from 1-10 is about a 1.
* As a resident Coli finesser my damn self aka a choochie magnet in reality all I can do is Doug as the shows sole cookie lure.
* This season had a lot of moving parts that really went nowhere. was Doug on a that beginning of the season? What kinda as lifestyle was that? did that doofy as hacker do all that reconnaissance and shyt for at AA meetings if he never intended on telling where Rachael was anyways? was the gay stuff that just came outta nowhere with Yates? At one point dudes where poppin' outta the bushes like: . The old dude from the Sentinel, Yates was trying to get his bid in, and Meachum was on real protective, "That's bae," shyt at one point too. I'm was legit like where is this going? And I'm non-homophobic. I was seriously wondering where it was headed?
* I can't say if I liked this season better than 2 yet. I have to get a little distance from it before I can put it in context. I do think season 1 was the best season by far, though. It's very hard for me to see how this show could run for another 3-4 seasons. Spacey damn near has a wing in gardens. Mofo was doing all the rowing in season 2 to come back even more robust the next year, and the story becomes more convoluted and disjointed each season.
*Just my thoughts*

you're supposed to "like" frank because of how fukked up he is...for those of us who like him. he's an anti hero, kinda like walter white. his redeeming quality IMO is his dedication to his goal (which I'm not even sure what the end game is being that he kinda doesn't seem happy as president either). dude is a pure manipulator, he wasn't able to pull the wool over everyone's eyes this season, but he is basically on some political get down or lay down shyt...it's epic.
and yes, kevin spacey needs to hit the rowing machine and let the pb&j sandwiches go, dude got so this season
Though I agree that to some Frank's appeal lies in his relentless by any means necessary dedication to his goals, I think part of the reason he's been less likeable this season is that his vision is no longer clear. He made it to the top; he's prez. And, shocker, he sucks at it. It's like he made it to the top and it turns out he wasn't cut out for it. Watching him topple over any adversary was enjoyable. But now watching him get punked by Putin number 2 and how he seems to keep fortuitously avoiding his impending doom makes him seem less than perfect. I want to see him fail. I want him to be held accountable.
This show better grab some Emmys.
like February, he says he has 18 months left to turn the country around before election, plus Iowa/New Hampshire primaries are in January, so it makes senseJust finished best fukken season of House of Cards. :wowwow2:
I honestly am like at anyone here that says otherwise.
Netflix really came through and put money into this series, the white house set () Air Force One ()
Even Obama would have been like watching this.
Now for the spoilers, this is for the entire series
I loved the whole progression of Doug's story , it actually makes sense to his character, he fukked up, why would Frank be like come back to work any time? He has partial paralysis in his leg, and being chief of staff is a extremely high pressure job. And most importantly he fukked up, he needs to earn back Frank's trust.
Claire's story. Both Frank and Claire feast on power, that is their life blood. As time went by, she didn't have any or at least it was decreasing as time went by. People were telling her what hair color she should have, and if you notice the last episodes even the Secret Service was telling her what to do. she couldn't go outside etc, contrast that with the very first episode, when she said she wanted to run outside, she got a Secret Service detail in minutes.
She doesn't want to be the boring housewife, she wants power too. I didn't even realize that Claire could run for President too.
This show will last forever.
For the nikkas talking about the hacker guy, he did all that work to find out where he could narrow down Rachel's location. He found her but wanted his friend to be released before he gave the exact address to Doug.
My favorite episodes was the one with the Buddhist monks and the last episode (:wowwow2
I liked this Season the best, because the dialogue was so great and the plot was believable. No wild mango fukkkery either. :aidisgust:
They are setting up the next season really well. The author guy might write an expose on the President, the hacker guy might be like a Edward Snowden type. Remy might become an activist. Claire is another opponent to Frank etc.
Can someone tell me, where Season 3 ended? Like what month (October?)
Frank Underwood's hair hat though.
This show better grab some Emmys.
I'm on episode 10 but I got a sick feeling that Frank is going to fukk Mickey Doyle. Those two are hanging out in the middle of the night drinking way too much
Edit: Oh god as soon as I post that Doyle admits he was a pro
Edit: Frank has that look in his eyes
Edit: Why? For fukks Sake Why? Nothing about this mans character screams faq. Nothing. I hate Hollyweird
