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

After I got done, I think this is my least favorite season.

The way Frank, Claire, and especially Doug acted didn't work for me.

And all the plotlines - except for Rachel's murder and Claire leaving Frank - went nowhere.

Strife with Russians? Eh, we give up.

Claire becoming an ambassador? She fricks up and quits.

Doug turning on Frank? Psyche!

Freddie? Oh, let's make him a lawn guy at the white house so he can continue to have folksly talks with Frank.

Remy? I quit.

Heather Dunbar? Let's let her frick with Frank with no reprisals.

AmeriWorks? Eh, it's dead.

Senator Mendoza? He's just gone.

Meechum? He's a mute now. He's only needed to threaten some author guy.

Jackie Sharpe? Ultimate betrayal of Frank and nothing happens.

Thomas the author? Eh, the book is over.

And NOW is when Claire decides that Frank being the one in power is a problem? Yeah, okay.

Good acting and so-so writing but outside of Rachel's death and Claire walking out, nothing else happened.
