Trump got name checked last season, back when the world was sane and him running for office was still a joke. I think it would be really cool if this was the last season and he gets his comeuppance at the end of it, but they don't announce it as such to give away the surprise.

Herv posted:I loved this show but the 2016 cycle pretty much made HoC look like non-fiction. House of Cards was a lot more entertaining when it was speculative fiction. Now that we're living it, it's more unsettling than anything else.

Season 5 got better at the end when actual things were happening. How much of this show has been dedicated to this one stupid election now? It started pretty early in S3 if I recall, then all of S4, and over half of S5 god drat just move onto something else already.

Martian Manfucker posted:Am I supposed to know who this Ken guy Claire meets in New York is? Also am I supposed to know who this Tim guy who disappeared on a boat off-screen is? Tim was Frank's lover in college and the only other person in the world besides Claire he ever gave a poo poo about. He was mostly in that really good episode in S1 where Frank and college buddies get rip roaring drunk when he goes back to his college to give a speech. Why he died on his way back to his home aBagorn posted:From my understanding, Frank doesn't want money itself, but he wants the freedom the private sector allows to be the "power behind the power" with Claire as President - simultaneously wielding influence as head of state with Claire and without governmental constraints with himself. Like how Tusk influenced Walker, except turned up to 11 I can understand this, but the way it's presented is so lame and puppetmaster-y. "Oh, all that poo poo I've been dealing with to keep my head above water for 3 seasons? That was my plan all along! Why didn't I tell Claire or anyone else before now? Well because, uh..."

Blind Rasputin posted:What I never understood throughout this entire season is why Francis or Claire or anyone else never thought to just bug that loving stairwell they all always secretly meet in. Because they both wanted to use it, and to be sure it wasn't bugged.

The Durant thing was so stupid on so many levels. One of those levels is that no one seems to wonder about it at all. One reported suggested it was suspicious and was immediately shot down with 'oh down start that conspiracy theory nonsense'. Can you imagine if the day before Comey's testimony, he went to the whitehouse, and while alone with Trump he accidentally fell down 6 stairs and fell into a coma?

I liked the way they they handled Claire and the camera. When she first talks to us I get the impression she just doesn't like us being there. It would be interesting to have Claire not only talk to us less, but be actively hostile towards us as a way to contrast her from Franks monologues. I love Robin Wright, but there's no point putting

Frank died when he was shot. This is all a fever dream, it won't be revealed until the last season.
