im having a hard time nailing down frank's motivation. Power is just too broad of a thing for them to attribute it to him

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: House of Cards (Netflix)
That's the problem with this fucking show. The house of cards has to come tumbling down at some point. Right now it's just a long, dreadfully boring slog with a seemingly infinitely deferred conclusion that feels like a chore to get through.Monkey_Driven wrote:Finished this season.

I wish this series was only 3 or 4 seasons. Could have been good.

It certainly feels that way. I really hope the next season is the last. The reporter needs to connect the dots and bring this thing down.theplatypus wrote:That's the problem with this fucking show.

Re: House of Cards (Netflix)
We need to fuck up the states and push the election to the House. We need to fuck up the House and push the election to the states. We need to ... wait, what? This is season 3 all over again. Frank isn't killing anyone. He isn't fucking anyone. He's playing World of Warcraft, and I don't know the rules.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I don't think I've ever disliked a tv character as much as I do Tom.

No idea how they could keep this going without Frank Underwood.
