Watched the first episode, thought it was okay, but they moved it and I didn't care enough to look.

instead of criticizing the school administration he should have chosen a more acceptable topic, like outing trans students or white nationalism, you know, something schools are cool with.

if you're going to give controversial speech ALWAYS bring a backup microphone.

we've all had a good laugh, though i don't quite get it.

Another thing that makes no sense is the idea that Frank can wield power from outside the whitehouse. The kind of powerbrokers he alluded to were magnates of resources like Tusk or of the new silicon valley economy like the Pollyhop guy. Frank is a despised former president with approvals in the teens, how exactly…

Not sure if it was in these two episodes are the last two (they run together) but frank's speech to congress right before resigning reminded me so much of the simpsons. His I'm guilty… was just like "Bart's dead!" "That's right, Dead serious about going to Itchy & Scratchy Land." While frank's big speech right…

Really hoping they find some way to keep jonah in politics or in that seat or something. The perfect finale for the show would be coming full circle with Selina swallowing her pride to be veep again to Ryan's President.

so, did it learn us millennials or not?

wasn't she something though? And Petrov made her give it up? IIRC she was ambassador, placed in there through a recess appointment.

It seems like Claire is being made more prominent, but do we really know that much about her? She's frank's wife and much more of a character than Urqheart's wife in the british version, but that's not saying much. She had an abortion, came from money, ran a non-profit for unclear motivations and that's it. …

this show continues to have a problem with drawing tension the right way. The ohio results should have been a tense countdown, representing the difference between Frank in power and frank lapping at the heels of his wife for her "power" as VP. instead, nope, it's all resolved. Also, the whole second election in…

two things that bug me about the policy on this show are their handling of the debt ceiling and DST. the debt ceiling isn't a government shutdown, we've had shutdowns before and it's just nonessential staff being furloughed and public buildings getting shut down. A debt ceiling breach brings the full faith in the…

wow, mother-boy XXXI was nuts.

midwestern? I thought they were in boston.

this has been my experience too, with the exception of some of the more outlandish things, like last season's "let's have a husband and wife prez and veep" thing.

no. it's kind of in that so bad it's good quality, like sharknado, but it can easily go into the "just bad" territory. I watch it because I love political fiction and it's so rare I'l take what I can get.

not to mention underwood already said he wouldn't run, then changed his mind, barely got the nomination and doesn't seem to have any connection to the party he claims to be part of.

the house and senate thing is one of the more believable parts of this whole thing. the VP was designed to be chosen by the senate in a straight up/down vote, whereas the House picks the president by needing a majority of state delegations to elect a candidate. the prez and veep from different parties thing would be…

it was really weird hearing someone say "special snowflake" IRL non-ironically. Though richard is exactly the kind of person who would say that.

this is the one I was referring too. I swear it's like as soon as some people like something they try to find any reason to hate it.
