lol wut. That was weird (: . I felt like they've been prepping Meachem all season for something. Like Frank new he was gonna need his undying loyalty at some point down the line for something specific. I did not figure the Meachem subplot was building towards this
Glad Doug and Seth are working together finally. My boy Doug back on track!
Really curious to see where the President's marriage counseling is gonna go. The Underwoods have been setting this up very subtly for quite some time
UGHHH. COME ONNNN! I'm so annoyed they killed off Doug. He was by far my favorite and he elevated every scene he was in. He had such a great presence on the show. Once Rachel hit him with the brick and we were left hanging, I was anxiously waiting to see what his fate was. When I saw the shot of him dead the next morning I was PISSED! Hardly enjoyed Frank becoming president because it bothered me so much. I would've liked it far more if he tragically ended up having to kill Rachel. That would've been sad and would've given him an interesting change for season three. I don't care about Rachel in season three at all. I don't see what the writers saw in this decision or what this will do for the show. UGH SO DUMB!
Even though I liked Doug, I thought Peter's death was much sadder
I don't mind the decision at all! But I guess that's mostly because I enjoy Rachel's character. And I think it's pretty clear what it's gonna do for the show's trajectory, Rachel is now out of pocket and could stir up some serious shit. I don't see her going away too easily/cleanly ala Zoe
How good is that strange music cue they played throughout this season? Especially towards the end. It's hard to explain what it was exactly. It was like a choir but sounded so sinister. It was fantastic
Does anyone know if the original/UK version is supposed to be any good? I'm thinking about watching it. My biggest concern is that UK politics will go over my head even more than US politics do
oh GAT-DAMN. I'm back to watching the show and I totally digg it, again. Season 2 gets pretty messy, in a good way though
Just saw 2x09. I guess you could say it was a FREDDY-centric episode. First and last shot was his. Thought it was done so well. You can watch this show in one big chunk and it's just GOOD SHIT throughout, maybe one episode was a little slower than the other but that's all building-up content for those to come and that again makes 'em much more great I guess. This episode I was diggin a lot.
Birds getting "clapped", peoples' lives being toyed with, "casualties"...on the road to power. GREAT SHOW.

Tusk is a mean motherfucker. I like how at the end of the episode, after things have unraveled and been dealth with in the photo-affair, Claire's like "let's make him suffer". Frank's look in the camera and his comment with it - priceless. Anyhow, Tusk, snapping the bird's neck like that...I think he's gonna die, because he did that. A heart attack maybe, or a plane crash ("accident") somthing like that...would be awesome.
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
