yea claire ruined him a few times... that's his weakness and the russian prez picked up on it earlyThats cuz it easier to look in front of you than behind you.
Frank knew the law and knew Congress, He knew Walker too. But now, he has to be a face as well as deal with other entire nations now and be a catalyst for his wife's plas as well. If Claire wasn't so hell bent on her own agenda it woulda been perfect. Frank could plan ahead because not many eyeballs were on him. Remember, dude's original plan was to be Secretary of State and work from there (which woulda been easier, because he woulda had the platform of dynamic foreign policy and more than likely a few nations behind him from personal deals he could cut while on diplomatic missions.)
Frank's Vengance and Ambition are his strengths and weaknesses at the same time
Only if Claire were Hilary Clintonyea claire ruined him a few times... that's his weakness and the russian prez picked up on it early
"why do you care so much about my wife"
"cause you do"
if she'd have played her role and done what he said... a shytload of that stuff would have NEVER happened
appointing her was a mistake
her peace plan was a mistake
her making that speech was a mistake
and they all reflected negatively on him and make him fukk up deals and partnerships
Remy got that wake up call
I woulda had both of them pigs fired in 2.3 seconds Especially the black one

Can't call it a wake up call if it wasn't unjust.
Dude was speeding and being difficult.
The wake up call came a moment before while he was taking that guy to the airport

Man this season here are my highlights and low lights...
Lowlights: I really don't give a shyt about Jackie and Remy's relationship. They really fukked over a great piece of the show imo. Remy was a fukking force of nature in Season 1, strong arming nikkas, pitting Claire against Francis it was almost masterclass. I was hype as fukk when I saw he was Chief of Staff But nah, he dipped out over his fukkin EX-girl.
I also coulda did without SO MUCH of Orsay, I mean I get his part in the grander scheme, but do I REALLY need 10 mins an episode dedicated to him in FBI offices? Nah.
They also were really soft on displaying the press. One of the best parts of the show was showing how Politicians must work hand in hand (or at least manipulate) the press to be effective, and how the press is supposed to question that at all costs. Zoe was the paragon of that aspect and it died with her too. Seth, Francis and his team just steamrolled the press in this season.
Highlights:
DOUG fukkING STAMPER. Sure the whole Rachel obsession thing was getting tiresome and I loved how as his limp was leaving his ruthlessness was coming back. The moment he threw the cane in the water I knew he would kill Rachel. Its also good to have a guy in the show who's just fukking weird....many salutes to Francis Jr.
Robin Wright's Claire. We can get mad at the ending all day (she's fukking stupid) but Claire had the power scenes mayne. The small things in acting get me...involuntary stuff that lets you know an actor is all in. We all know Claire as an ice queen, but when she was sitting in that car, and Frank told her that journal might come out... that shyt looked like GENUINE FEAR. The blood drive scene, the hotel scene, the prison scenes....hell the whole season belongs to Robin Wright (she directed episode 9 too)
Most of all...President....mother...fukking...Petrov. Dude is a fukking master Russian politics hurricane. Best part about him is dude is BRUTALLY honest about everything Francis would lie about. He off rip was like "Yo, gays don't even bother me bro, but i'll jail/kill them fukkers to keep my regime on point." or "I know why you invited me down here nikka, fukk your expensive cigars. " or "Oh, yeah...i killed my own people, but you'll give me this resolution, end the UN mission AND fire your wife...". The Underwoods are lucky dude doesn't want more than that, because Petrov was a MUCH more experienced head of state than Francis and showed so all season long.
Even with the weaknesses I still liked the season
Easier to calculate and plan to take the top spot.. But once you get it, it's not as easy to defend it against those gunning for that same spot.Only thing I didn't like was that they made frank look like a dumbass this season
In season 1 and 2 he was very calculated with his plans and was always 2-3 steps ahead of everyone else. This season it was like he was just shooting from the hip and making shyt up as he went on.
i made her my WCW today based off your post... her man got caught getting head and sticking cigars in a bytch and she stood by that man 150%... still didn't leave after the presidency was done... got herself another job as head of the state dept... running for prez twice... and her man sticking by her... thats a motherfukking power coupleOnly if Claire were Hilary Clinton
