Hey y'all season two is starting in about six hours.
Season one is free for all. Spoiler season two stuff. Let people know what episode you're talking about and all that.
Here's the silliest thing I could find in relation to the show. It's still kind of upsetting.
So excite.

On last season:
I only vaguely remember the reporter stuff. I remember Zoe well enough but their concerns seemed tenuous at best.
Pretty stoked for this next season, it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
or edt I'm not sure what we're in
point being I will probably stay up and watch ep 1 before turning in because I have class in the morning. very excited.
It's been awhile since I saw S1 (I probably need a refresher), but I seem to remember them by the end of the season the reporters were slowly closing in on something being very sketchy about Underwood and his team (like, besides what Zoe was in on).
I too remember Zoe well enough, because...Kate Mara.
The countdown says midnight eastern.
So I'll have gone to sleep barring advanced notice of another snow day.
I know they were closing in on it. I just remember the reasoning for it being kinda sketchy. Like they were reaching.
oh nice I didn't look. thanks!
Clear Water was expecting a big donation from SanCorp and had made plans to utilize it. When Frank didn't get the Secretary job, SanCorp backed out, leaving them without the money. Rather than cancel her plans, though, Claire decided to fire a bunch of people in order to be able to afford the fancy new programs.

Plus I can watch Kevin Spacey order chinese food and it'll be interesting.
Yeah, that's fair. I agree that the power plays are way more interesting that regular politics. But I still think that whenever they go into actual politics (which they have to, to set the scene for the show) they take the conventional wisdom line that anything outside of the center is automatically bad, and that always bugs me.
Admittedly a lot of politicians also seem to think like that, so maybe it's not unrealistic.
Yeah, they're trying to appeal to the widest possible audience, just like most politicians will. As soon as you stake out a position, you start losing people from somewhere. Either way, I'm off work, getting mah fast food fix and gonna start watching! Here we go!
mere moments away!

fucking
what.
But I don't think I have ever had such a visceral reaction to a television show before. They really stuck the landing on this one.

We probably can. I've never looked at those tables.

By your context I am guessing you work at Netflix? Can you check? You'll see maybe a dozen repeats from my account

I thought for sure Lucas was getting set up by the FBI. He still might be but it's looking less and less likely which is kind of annoying. I'm still holding out hope that he's going to get strung along for the rest of the season or something like that.
Not to be nitpicky but they did pick a position, the centrist one.
I think you're talking about the education position in the show, and yeah they did. I should have added that the centrist position is more likely to lose the least amount of people. So it makes sense for Frank to go that route. I don't get the feeling he has convictions one way or another about any of the policy stuff he's supposedly involved in, all he cares about is climbing the ladder.
Is that a McPoyle?
If you mean Mary, yes.
I'm not sure what they are then. Everyone around him is a tool except for Claire, and even then he's got no problem telling her to drop what she's invested in to help him (which he sees as helping them both)
