The British version of House of Cards gets as much plot into 4 episodes as the American version gets into 26 episodes.

I agree.

I agree.

'Our relationship has gone cold since we've gotten married. My wife only blows me 6-8 times a month now. Weekends only. And she won't even swallow anymore! So you can see why I have no choice but to seek out anonymous men who will blow me.'

I have watched 1.5 episodes of this show. It is pretty awful, but is delightful in a weird way. I think it is awesome that Reed Diamond showed up. It doesn't make any sense, but that is about what I would expect out of the show and out of him. You should try to do a crossover with the Shield recaps.

I watched it the same way and found it a welcome relief from the emotional assault.

I am the only person here who has no problem with Co-Pilot? I'm actually pretty fond of it.

"Stephen Collins…doesn’t exactly give it his all, but exudes a general sense of playing along."

The HoC writers/creators did not do a "Frank has a homosexual relationship in his past" episode in order to tell us "What makes Frank who he is; to answer the questions that essentially every work of art asks."

" The two existed in the same episode, but unrelated spheres."

"Since we barely know what makes her interesting, his interest in her seems like a perfunctory plot point rather than something from which the story as a whole is organically drawn."

What a ridiculously reductive response.

"What these people will do is less interesting than why they might do it in the first place."

The union-busting is important. It reveals the ideology beneath the show's conceit that it's chronicling a drama of "real" politics - you know, the stuff "beyond ideology", where ruthlessly "pragmatic" anti-heroes claw and scheme their way to power.

"reeks of a show with only a cursory understanding of the intersection of old and new media… But the Slugline stuff doesn’t do House of Cards any favors in attempting to depict a website that seems to have its office located somewhere in 1998"

The reviews for this show thus far have been really boring and off-base. (I haven't read the full season review because I haven't finished the season yet.)

"Bill, in 2003 you spent 37 weeks chained up in a basement; you never saw the light of the day, you ate only dog food, you were beaten regularly, you did not have a bathroom. How was that experience?"

I was going to leave a comment about how I was going to leave a comment about the Dana Carvey Show until I saw everybody else did that already, but I see someone did that already.
