I agree the lesbian scene was just eye candy. However someone on reddit wrote that Frank and Claire always have had some sexual outlet outside of their marriage and because he's under so much surveillance now, it made since for them to find an insider for their needs. It kinda makes sense.

Too much fucking? what? There were hardly any sex scenes in the entire season 2.

Where is it mentioned that they "always" had some? Only Zoey and Adam are shown and the latter seemed more like an exception, not the rule. If it's true, it does make sense...except for Meechum to join so easily(even with being drunk).

"Too much" doesn't imply how many. Even one sex scene can be "too much". But we had Zoey, Feng, Jacqueline 2 times(?) and the lesbian one, add to that the threesome, nude photos and nude in the shower, meh. Typical Hollywood.

All of those except Feng were clearly necessary to plot. Just saying. And really, in terms of titillation, nothing to write home about. Can't believe people ragging on the lesbian scene or the threechum. Both clearly very important to, respectively, Doug and Edward.

I take it you don't watch Game of Thrones then?

Why would I watch something when I can read it? Also, I normally stay away from any TV stuff because it's mostly the same. If season 3 is really about Francis' downfall, then it has already failed, in my opinion.

Pretty much every sex scene in House of Cards is a PG-13 fade-to-black type thing. A few exceptions but it's no Game of Thrones in that regard.

why would you play video games when you can watch streams?

just finished season 2
+ Show Spoiler +kinda agree with a guy at the previous page, they made walker really retarded i mean i felt it was too easy for underwood to downgrade the president, he opposed no resistance at all until the last moment ..
also poor doug, the devoted one, killed before being able to witness underwood as a president (feel a bit sad,doug was one of my favorite character)
also wtf the threechum, i paused like WTF HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???
at the end, like everyone i guess, a part of me wanted to see underwood fail, that's why i wonder like others here what they are going to do with a season 3 ? resisting against an other impeachment ?

Why be a king when you can be a god? Actually why listen to music when you can read poetry?
Anyway, I liked this season too. They were originally signed for 26 episodes so there was a lot of consistency, I guess. I dont know what' they're going to do now that Francis is
+ Show Spoiler +the motherfucking President of the United States of America. If he was getting shit done as a Majority Whip, I can't imagine what he'll do as President of the United States. The good moments in the series were realllyyy salient (threechum/zoe/how claire threw McGinnis under the bus on national TV) A nation, Under Wood. 8D
S3 GET HYPE
ExtraStuffIliked
+ Show Spoiler +I liked how they allowed a Redditor to explain the darknet (joke, for you Romanians) haha. That was really amusing. The chinese guy's sex stuff was something unexpected, but I hope it comes back later to leverage him or something. Poor Doge, he woulda been promoted most likely underUnderwood's presidency. Let's see, Christina was just used to sew doubt in the president's wife, that was gdlk. The small moments in the show were tight.But yeah, I KINDA DONT WANT to see S3 as Francis' downfall -- if anything, I want to get 1 season of him PREVENTING people from throwing him down, and another season where he steps back or something. If this show has taught me anything is that he's fucking vicious and squeezes the most he can out of his position of power -- and now that he's POTUS, I can't see him getting played.

The only thing that really annoys me in this series so far (I'm in the middle of S1) is that 99.9% of electronic devices people use bear the Apple logo... I know about product placement, but this is beyond ridiculous (thank the gods for one black dude who used a Toshiba laptop in this series).

It should be the other way around.

Yep, noticed that(obviously) as well. So it's no surprise they are either evil or stupid

i had the exact same thought but then there will be less placement product, but still, like LG, nokia

Usually I don't mind product placement (they have to finance this thing after all), but this is going overboard. It's just as bad as sensory branding.
|
I don't mind product placement for electronic products except when it's all Apple...

The Chinese's guy sex stuff is explained later by himself during the scene where he talks to Frank in the battlefield at night. Essentially he says that death motivates him and pushes him to accomplish as much as he can. The writers could have had him parachuting off an airplane instead, but I guess the sex fetish thing fits better the darker theme of the whole series.
|
I liked S1 more.. Way more but S2 wasn't bad.
My biggest Problem is:
Frank values power above all... Why is never mentioned what he wants to do with said power? Being president for being presidents sake? I fear in S3 we also will go on with "defend/fall against scandal" and not into stuff he actually does with all his power except covering up his crimes...
