House of Cards...w/spoilers

I might still be in shock over Zoe's death.

I still enjoyed the series, but I do wish that they had kept some sort of story line that was off The Hill and Capitol.  The journalists provided some relief from all of the politicking.  And some of the weird sex stuff.  Like Feng's sex scene...what was that for?  How did knowing anything about his kinks show you something about his character?  

I felt like there were some things handled really badly.  The kink above (b/c the only think I can think of is kink = bad, so now we know Feng is a bad guy) and the Indian storyline.  I mean, WOW.  Casinos in KC, MO are riverboat casinos, not reservation and have nothing to do with Indians.  Additionally, Missouri Indians didn't have turquoise jewelry, okay?  Not all Indians are the same!  And then when Indian actor also had long hair and was saying his house was "sovereign land".  Give me an effin' break.

DH and I have been enjoying coming up with scenarios for Season 3.  Favorite so far:  Frank manages to create an international government, that's he's president of, and this turns into the Left Behind series.   Still liked it overall, but I don't think the writing was as great as it was last season.

    I'm not all the way through (I have about 2 more episodes). So I'm sure there is more I'm missing. The Tusk v Underwood brawling got a little tiresome. We get it, you're both power jockeys. I just feel like the story lines were believable but then got a little ridiculous. This season felt soap opera-y.

    YES!  I told DH that a writer must've been watching too much Scandal, b/c it really started to feel like a melodrama this season.

    I thought the lights out at the baseball game was supposed to be semi-foreshadowing: Frank's making a huge pitch to home (aka the president) and Tusk puts out the lights on him.

    Is it me or are the First Lady's clothes/hair a little too similar to Jackie Kennedy's considering fictional FL is also named Jackie?

    I was hoping they'd have the hacker guy more involved in busting things wide open- perhaps for season 3? Did not expect Stamper's death, Rachel's relationship and hijacking the car.

    I was kind of glad they killed off Stamper.  And Zoe really.  Those characters felt like they had reached the end of their arcs.  The Stamper/Rachel dynamic was just getting...weird.  I was surprised at her show of strength though.

    I liked the Lucas, Janine and Tom interplay a lot.  When Tom cracked the 6 pack open in the middle of the day, I wanted to cheer.
