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

Everyone assumes that Frank will fall but what if he doesn't? What if he wins it all in the end? I'm tired of stories where nice guys finish first. It's a fantasy. People like Frank Underwood win every day. He's powerful, he's ruthless, and he's extremely intelligent. People like that have succeeded throughout history more often than not.

The title of the show suggests that he will. Building a house of cards takes meticulous planning and effort, but one slip up and the whole thing comes crashing down.


I just finished the season and thought it was better than season 2. Even if everything with the Russians was meaningless, I still thought it was awesome and much better drama than anything in season 2.

Claire is just a bitch. Seemed like the easy solution is the Hillary Clinton reference that someone else mentioned. But no, she had to be a dumb bitch.

I liked most of the other storylines too. I do wish we got more Meachum though.

And I was surprised that Doug actually killed Rachel. I always thought she would be the cause of the downfall but I guess not. Maybe Gavin becomes that loose thread now?

And I wonder if Lucas will ever return to the show. I know he is locked up but he knows a lot about Underwood.

Just finished the season and thought it drug on a little bit but still awesome, can't wait to see how Frank wiggles his way outta this one

Wait, are you saying Frank isn't a nice guy?

I would suggest you change your name and disappear
