+ Show Spoiler + The ending was stupid though. Not sure how you can justify declaring all out war in the Middle East because some lonewolf crazy kids in Tennessee killed a guy. | ||

That was probably the most believable part of the series in terms of political maneuvers, + Show Spoiler + much more plausible than Claire as VP nomination. The action at the end is basically what happened during the Bush years though not saying it is orchestrated. It is analogous in that an act of terror created conditions where a President could push military action without a formal declaration of war. You could say something similar about the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam and that was pretty much dubious interactions reported from both sides that created the justification for the US going to war without a formal declaration again. I see what you mean with this one incident being on a much smaller scale and not necessarily warranting such a response were Underwood not such a sociopath. | ||

I do miss the power and the sexiness in power in S1 so much, the ending of S4 reminds me of that. | ||

Dunbar dropped out Also, those + Show Spoiler + terrorists are fucking stupid. I mean, why would you release the mother and child first so that all leverage is gone? They should have released the father first, then mother, and kept the child as the final card. The plot is so conveniently bullshit. I also hate the PC crap how they felt the need to show the Muslim Iman saying that not all Muslims are like that - that minute in the show served absolutely no purpose other than tokenism. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + What I really enjoy is Claire and Francis, how they are both so alike and boost each other up. You get this team feeling which easily makes at least me very happy to watch. And of course that they are very "evil". Claire is a rare rare breed in a tv show, a woman who is not weak, yet not a bitch? And how she gave this war idea to Francis, I just loved it. | ||

She is a massive bitch, especially after the Russian homo incident. | ||

Tom Hammerschmidt and his investigation culminating at the end with the story being released. Also, the ammonia dream sequence was fucking amazing. I loved that whole couple of episodes. Overall ill rate the season 7/10, with season 1 being a 8/10, 2 being a 9/10, and 3 being a 3/10. | ||

much more plausible than Claire as VP nomination. T I agree. That was so unrealistic in multiple ways and was the worst part of the season (which overall was very good). It seemed that the writers just wanted a way to get the Underwood partnership back on track. | ||

My honest guess is he wins the election and it ends at his inauguration, double tap on the podium with his ring like when he deposed Walker. | ||

Definitely looking forward to the next season to see how it all ends. I don't believe that the show will go on after his re-election since there is no real goal after that. Don't get impeached? Maybe, but it's still a weak motivation. Putting Claire into the presidency? Still not going to work with Frank being the main character. The worst case scenario will be if they decide to extend the general election story arc into multiple seasons since it would kill the pacing. I guess we'll have to see. | ||

was really happy with this season until the end I think it went off the rails when frank pushed the secretary of state down the stairs. The new male and female staffers tge republican and the woman who is supposed to have foreign contacts were both black holes of time. The last episode was utter shit. Frank underworld resigning the president was an interesting twist but is dumb as shit and comes off as a senile rant that doesn't make sense at all. Burning the flag pissed me off repeating the Obama raid and following speech about Osama was lame. Claire not pardoning frank at the end I don't even know anymore. Claire doesn't have interesting things happen with her and now the show is about her. I honestly have less respect for the show then after seasons 3. Rip house of cards you could have been something great. | ||
