Well, this is certainly a shocking development.

This reminds me of a wonderful joke on the season one finale of The Good Place:

“Humans are very reticent to torture each other. Even getting them to do simple things like pulling out each other’s teeth is like... I can’t think of the right analogy.”

“Production on House of Cards has been Suspended...”

*raise your hand if your first thought on seeing the headline was “Well, that one was only a matter of time”*

I doubt that they can just shift 100% of a crew into a new show, unless that show has the same elements as the previous. I bet some of these people wouldn’t make the jump to one of Adam Sandler’s netflix turds, he has his gang of sycophants working on his projects...

A pair of swinging legs while Robin Wright reads a note would solve this problem in half a day’s shooting time.

Well if recent history has been anything to judge by, when it rains it pours. Typically one allegation, even if it’s ancient, has been leading to several others, not to mention the digging of public knowledge dirt back to the surface.

Like a...stack of extremely flimsy things.

Counterpoint: while Kevin Spacey’s tactic of coming out was tasteless, it is NOT the worst way it could have possibly been handled. I feel like Mr. Silvio “It’s Better To Love Beautiful Women Than To Be Gay” Berlusconi could have topped that without even trying.

I thought “Netflix’s Old Tentpole” was a good one.

If only there was a convenient metaphor for how all this is collapsing.

You’re concerned about being fair and compassionate to a man who drunkenly sexually assaulted a 14 year old boy and then used coming out of the closet to deflect from that?

Definitely a cater in the rye scenario.

‘Whatever happened to “innocent until proven guilty”?’
It’s there. Just in actual legal situations in a court of law.

She’ll just put Tom Hank’s face over Spacey’s

Sure, just like how no one ever watches China Town anymore.

OJ Simpson still has his Heisman so...

“In light of recent revelations that you are, in fact, a total shitbird, we don’t feel anymore that you deserve this award we were about to give you.” How is that revisionism?

Contracts don’t tend to have “audience backlash” clauses.
