I was really confused about the strongly suggested gay affair of Frank with that history guy/his trainer / Frank Underwood being gay/bisexual. That has to come up in some way in the future/next season, right? Because unless I missed something, it didn't had any effect so far and felt really unnecessary and I highly disliked it. Even if they manage to make it relevant somehow, they really have to convince me it was necessary/worth it. There were already implications for a gay affair between frank and his friend who got lost and him feeling up a dude in the white house with all that was going on just doesn’t fit his character. It is a very sloppy mistake and the scene gave me an annoyed feeling of either scoring scandal points or really obvious writing with the sole purpose of blatantly opening a plot line later on. And if they try to open another plot, to justify all the further scenes with the history guy, they somehow have to make him relevant to all of is and I just don't feel like his character is enough to support that. I also didn’t really liked the pushing down stair scene. With all the allegations against Frank, her wanting to testify etc. this just seems far too obvious and should have created more of an outcry, and seems way to dodgy for a Underwood-move. I could be wrong though, maybe this is about laying out the groundwork for Frank’s final fall. He painted himself more and more in a corner, stuck in more extreme positions which could justify his reactions becoming more extreme and sloppy until he loses control and gets finally defeated. | ||

And now for a major spoiler comment + Show Spoiler + One thing that surprised me at first was the fact that Francis was leaking information about himself to Tom. But after hearing his reasoning why, it all made sense to me I remember reading somewhere that the story for S5 was made before the most recent US Presidential election. S6 will certainly be interesting | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Frank leaking information to tom is just dumb though. even if he didn't see the opportunity to leak fake information with some that couldn't incriminate him the whole thing is just jumping the shark level of dumb when he resigns because of it. The whole show is cool because frank survives the shitty situation that hes in and keeps living until the next day. As things keep piling up one after another hes still able to keep it going until the whole thing collapses like a wait for it house of cards. The whole twist of him resigning goes against the fundamental appeal of the show. If they really want to explore a Hillary presidency they should make a shitty drama on network television so it can get canceled after a season because its shit like it should. | ||

I binged season 5 with friends over the last few days, and since the season is new, I would say so. And it is not really a big effort to mark your text and hit that spoiler-button, so yeah. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + so actually francis fought hard, killed people to get president, to only realize at the end that he can be the puppet master of the white house ? no need to mention jane davis, aka the shaman of the white house literally better than the NSA and FBI combined looks like it was rushed after the first 1/3 of the season | ||

+ Show Spoiler + They made Claire the bitch this season, and I hope she turns up to be a great villain for Francis to devour. | ||

Well whether you agree with it or not, there would be a lot of people that stop watching because they don't want to support a known sex offender. Being violated like that is a traumatic experience, and it's something that's very hard to talk about and stand up against, which only makes the situation worse for the victims. I enjoyed the show, and his acting in it was exquisite, but I'd have my reservations about it too. I don't think it's very considerate to claim you're the victim here. | ||

It's a shame that Spacey won't be in the final season that's coming up. I guess Claire won't pardon Francis after all? They resolved so many plot points this season that it seems like they were almost preparing for cancellation. Also, here's a teaser if y'all haven't seen it yet. | ||
