season was good. i give it a B.

since when do people in witness protection have parole officers?

the writers showed little effort on several parts, like the reaction of jackie's huband being he was happy for her when she told him she had an affair :martin:.

no evil plotting to get cathy to give up her VP or Prez nomination, just a simple threat. that does no go inline with the show. it's about betrayal and calculated revenge. a threat is too simple.

there was no ring knocking the table this season either, so i know the writers were being sloppy losing sight of the characters.

and one of the sloppiest areas to me was no revenge against Claire on Frank's part. while he was in the hospital she was willing to ruin his plan & let him die and he merely apologizes and awards her with the VP slot. i'd expect for frank to play into her ego, give her what she wanted and then snatch it from her at the very end.

remy's a simp. in 4 seasons the only time jackie has "risked it all" for him was at the very end meanwhile remy pretty much gave up his career to be the side-dikk to a married woman.

the inflated egos of the writers allowed them to dedicate 15-20% of the season to a plot about writers that should have been killed off by season 2 & Underwood hushed up the incident with fear mongering in like 3 minutes. it was a huge build up and ended with a whimper.


the good parts outnumbered the bad tho. i agree with others it feels incomplete like it should've been longer.

So did anyone figure out why Clair hates Underwood yet?
Claire needs to lead as much as frank. In seasons 1 & 2 she led a non-profit organization. season 3 leaves her with a leadership void to fill, so tensions rise cuz she's unfulfilled.

after Frank's done with his presidencies, there will be nothing left for him to do. she wants to start working on her political resume ASAP so it'll be easier for them to work on her career after his presidency is over. Frank tells her to wait. This upsets her because it was her money, her dad's connections etc that helped them get where they are. She feels like Frank is selfish. she begins to think that although he tells her it's '[them] against the world" that he really views it as him against the world while seeing her as a tool.

I am not gonna lie I didn't really like this season. :ld:
I am not up on my knowledge of politics to even know that could happen.

The president threatening the secretary of state :comeon:

The cuckolding. :comeon:

How did ol'boy get a gun? :comeon:

ETA: Why the fukk would Doug suddenly grow a conscience? It is completely out of character. Doug's existence is to serve the President. Who gives a fukk if he bumped the President up on the donor list.
