re: House of Cards: Full Season Discussion (WITH SPOILERS)

Just finished it. Smashed through the last 7 episodes in 1 night

I'll say it again...frick Claire fricking underwood. She is so delusional about her damn importance that's she's willing to destroy everything so that the world can tell her she can do politics on her own. fricking idiot

Overall I loved the character development throughout the season. Doug's profile this year was just off the charts, he acted his arse off.

Some of the best moments of the show came from this season IMO I was literally busting out laughing at 2 in the morning when he told Dunbar to go frick her self

And I was jumping with joy when Frank finally got to brass tax and told Claire how it really is...and then she ruined it in the next scene by leaving.


There's so much more to this season but I can't get over how much of a royal jackass Claire was this season. Ahhh she might be worse than Jenny from Forrest Gump on my fictional hatred scale...scratch that she is definitely above that level already



I think what a lot of you don't like about the season is the change in Franks overall character. He's got a lot more scenes where he's playing nice and a hell of a lot more scenes where he's playing catchup or is in desperation mode which he never is in S1 and only briefly in S2....but I think that was nessasary with his presidency. You have to be much more reserved as the president and when it comes to the characters in the show already, he probably had more control as Whip than he does as president


Here's to the rewatch in the near future
