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

I think this was a set up season. I feel like everything is built up for the massive implosion of Frank's empire that will be season 4 or at least that's what I'm hoping.

I don't see what it set up, aside from Claire possibly leaving him. Let's face it, we all know Frank will win reelection, so as of now I'm seeing their estrangement pointless in the grand scheme unless Claire pulls a Lucille Bluth and gets her husband arrested while she still enjoys the finer things in life. One of the major loose ends with Rachel has already been tied up, and the only loose end now is Lucas who is in jail and Janine. Rachel had the most damning evidence though, and unless they find Doug's DNA on Rachel's body (if they somehow find it and soon), then they just got a worry off of Frank's shoulders. I just don't know how we're not starting back from Square One, except Frank now is president and Claire is unhappy.
