Why do I have a feeling in my gut that Claire is going to get some poison or something in her drink... make it look like she was sick (which would match the story he told in Iowa) and that'll be the end of Claire. It's unlikely, but I can't help thinking that's what is going to happen.
finished it last night
Spoiler:
Claire really came off as whiny this season. When Frank explained what her position is, it was terrible, but it wasn't wrong as screwed up as that sounds. Echoed throughout the season, Frank is right, but goes about everything the wrong way. I get that she wants to accomplish things on her own, but what does she expect at this point? I was a little turned off by her role this season.

Frank made a lot of mistakes this season, that were all partially or fully influenced by Claire, and now when the times got tough because she messed up, she's ready to cut and run leaving Frank high and dry. She's becoming Skyler White.

I was disappointed, for sure. Especially considering how exciting everything was in the last two season finales.

I know Robin Wright is great and Claire is a great character, but I think they lost focus and wanted to make this season about her. Kevin Spacey is the show, every storyline not involving Frank is time lost from him and mostly wasted.

Such as the Remy, Jackie storyline - nope, don't care. Doug and the creepy guy from Loser is ok because it's a continuation of the zoe/lucas/russo coverup. But the Doug and Rachel thing was boring

Part of me feels like she's going to get the Zoey Barnes treatment in the first episode but can there be a show without Claire Underwood? I mean, a widower President...what an angle for the re-election.

Anyone watch American Crime last night? I like the story but the editing style is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I'll try to stick it out a few more episodes.

Spoiler:
I think the Remy/Jackie storyline exists as a foil to Frank and Claire. Sure it's not that exciting since they're periphery characters but it's meant to be a contrast for Frank's relationship which I find to be a powerful dynamic.

Sunny has been pretty good.

Archer has been pretty awful.

Oh, man. One of those psycho dudes who meets a girl, falls in love in one day, and puts a guilt trip on her for talking to another guy. Wow. I think an alarm sounded in her head and rightfully so. Creep is the correct word.

I wanted both So and the Creep to stay because both would create a lot of drama, but oh well.

Preaching about his enlighted way of life and then being a vindictive s*** head was irritating as all hell.

But good tv.

That nurse wouldn't let it go about the Navy doc getting the order wrong on the zip line waiter challenge. Yeah, it's gonna get ugly with these blind dates.
Does anyone else think that Laura looks like Amy Adams?

House of Cards related:
Spoiler:
I liked the season, but didn't love it. Too much Claire, period. It seemed like the first two seasons had a distinct purpose, but this one was just a bunch of random stuff. I'm hoping Season 4 gives you the hook early. I would love if Claire is poisoned (aka sad, sudden death) and Frank runs as a sad widow.

Archer: Vice has been added to Netflix. I'm sure binge watching gives me a different perspective on the show, but I've enjoyed the season.
