House of Cards - Final Season (6) Fall 2018

[Nem0]

"What you looking at" was quite good when he was losing his shit after the business with his wife and Russias president.

[Chrius]

Best 4th wall break:

Spoiler: show

Supreme Court Justice tells Frank he'll stay on the bench while he's still well enough
Frank walks behind chairs and says to camera: Must I destroy this man?
SCJ: Mr. President?
Frank to camera: No. I won't.
SCJ: Excuse me?

worst season up to date, the season just ended abruptly. I kept waiting for a climax but it never came.

[Oreth]

what an anti climax to end the season out...

[Rhyis.]

not sure if this will be an unpopular opinion, just finished the last episode today. by far the worst season of house of cards. i would have rather it ended after season 2 and there had been no season 3

Just finished the season now and this is my opinion.
Should've stopped at S2

Absolutely nothing happened the entire season. Amworks never happened. The hurricane never happened. The book never happened. War in the middle east never happened. Nothing happened.

i dont want to see the slow unraveling of frank underwood. it is called house of cards for a reason, netflix needs to stop being scared to lose the series and go all in with ending it

[arus2001]

Saying nothing happened is a gross exaggeration. Mainly, not a whole lot went as planned. The only real winner at present seems to be Doug, both for recovery and revenge. I have no doubt, however, he'll fuck up next season.

Perhaps the big issue is that in the absence of the bad guys winning, which the first 2 seasons portrayed, we don't actually have good guys manifesting to claim the win, either.

Season 4 announced for 2016. they're riding on the coattails of the election.

[Bregor]

Maybe I'm not remember the first two season accurately, but I really, really missed the breaking-the-fourth-wall exposition in this season. It seemed extremely sparse compared to S1 and S2, but I didn't re-watch either one going into S3. Anyone get that impression?

Agreed. After finishing the last episode, my wife and I were talking about what made S3 so bland, and I think that was a big part of it.

Plot stuff:

Spoiler: show

Claire seems extremely unreasonable to me. Like what did she expect when Frank became president? Is this all because of the author's book? If so that's a season-long plot device that seems really fucking stupid. Also, sorry you were an unqualified, shitty UN ambassador. Hoping he either eviscerates her publicly in S4. Then she can have all the time in the world to fuck shitty photographers. Or maybe he should just push her in front of a Metro train too.

Dunbar is a worthy adversary. She's got Frank dead to rights on the kind of person and president he is, and she's saying all the right things in the campaign. But I'm still rooting for Frank, I guess that just means they've done a good job of establishing him as an antihero. As for the Iowa caucus, I think Frank closed the gap because a. people liked Claire, and b. Dunbar kept rallying against Walmart and corporate greed which I'm sure sent a lot of campaign money Frank's way.

Also holy lol and a Democrat creating a program like AmWorks and gutting social security. Even stealing from FEMA just to fund it in DC was a stretch.

I actually liked all the Stamper stuff. The syringe thing was creepy but for a guy balancing control and addiction as precariously as he is, it made a good visual. The end of his arc with Rachel was fucking stupid though. Should have just hardened himself and killed her after digging the hole. Driving away and doubling back was weak and the smash cut to her in the grave was pretty lol-worthy.

Zero fucks given about Jackie and Remy. Their whole arc was boring as fuck. The only good thing was Remy talking with Freddie in the Oval. Netflix, give me a Remy/Freddie buddy cop movie kthx.

One last thing from S2 wrapped up with the throwaway line that he pardoned both Walker and Tusk. Should have kept Major Dad in jail, Frank. Fuck that guy.

Reg E. Cathey wins an Emmy! Good for you man, I've been watching him since Square One.

If not only that, Seasn 5 was also announced for next year as well:



HYPE AS FUCK.

[Zetanio]

Ohhhhh boy.

[Olo401]

*bump* Reminder the new season comes out tomorrow!

[Odesseiron]

Just hope it's better than season 3. I didn't hate S3 by any means, but by the end it kind petered out. I enjoy everything with the Russian President, but the end just didn't have a satisfying conclusion. A divorce is the best you could do? Give me a break. I fear this show is going to go on for way longer than it should. I think the British show had 3 seasons. Rise, in office and fall. In this it seems like the melodrama is going to happen for a while. I hope this season proves me wrong.

[Hushigoshi]

I am so ready for binge watching this starting now.

Spoiler: show

I just finished episode seven (which was an epic episode btw). In reference to your spoiler, there hasn't been any development from it yet, but...

Spoiler: show

Did you catch the scrolling news headline in episode 1?

Spoiler: show

About a woman's body being found outside LA. I assume it's Rachel Posner

I missed that bit, I'll have to go back and catch that. I got through him waking up last night, so I'm one or two behind you. Much better than s3 so far to me.

[Salodin]

So better than season 3? Cause Season 3 made me question if I should keep bothering with this show...

[Hushigoshi]

So far, much better
