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