Season 2 Recap
“House of Cards” can be addicting, but it usually doesn’t make any sense. That was my takeaway from the first couple of seasons and I’m definitely not alone in noticing the maddening, convoluted and glacially-paced political plot lines.
Yet when Season 3 debuts on Friday? Count me in! Yeah, I can’t explain it, other than wanting to be in the loop as everyone else in D.C. binge-watches the show over the weekend.
If you watched Season 2 a year ago and have no time to re-watch the madness, here’s a quick reminder of what you need to know to be up to speed for a third season.
* Yes, Frank is president, and yes, the way he got there was insane.
Ah, Frank Underwood. If an evil plan doesn’t have at least a hundred intricate steps, what’s the point? He put his plotting power to good use last season as vice president, really playing the long game as he manipulated everyone around him. Frank wants to run the world, and the best way to get there (after clawing his way up the ladder to VP in Season 1) is to become president of the United States. So he just had to sabotage the current one, the super-lame President Walker. To refresh, here are the steps, as best as we can figure out:
- Turn the president against his best friend, St. Louis energy company billionaire Raymond Tusk.
- Manipulate the secretary of state (Catherine Durant) and majority whip nominations (Jackie Sharp) to become people that would owe him favors down the line.
- Discover that Xander Feng, a Chinese billionaire, had spent the last decade shuttling funds to Democratic political action committees through Tusk and a St. Louis casino. Destroy a deal that Feng had that involved building a bridge. Make Feng mad enough that he switched his funds over to the Republicans, who were running attack ads against the president. Convince Feng to put the bridge deal back on the table and stop attacking the president.
- Make it all look incredibly suspicious and like the whole scheme links directly to the White House, then leak the details to a reporter.
- After the story runs implying that the White House and president are involved with foreign money laundering, convince Feng (by granting him asylum in China) to testify against the president.
- Make Tusk blame the whole thing on the president.
- Get the secretary of state and majority whip to turn on the president.
- Just for fun, trick the president and his wife into going to therapy, so when it’s revealed that the president has been seeking help, the nation will wonder if he’s on medication and therefore not fit to run the country.
- Force the president’s impending impeachment.
- Become president! Celebrate by exchanging a cold, calculated hug with your equally evil wife, Claire.
- Rescind Feng’s asylum to get favor with China and look like a hero — hopefully without anyone realizing that you did it by essentially sending a man to his death.
…That’s the gist, anyway. Again — completely insane.
Welcome back Frank
Goodbye to everyone else and any type of social life this weekend

Don't think I can get into this show. Tried to watch a couple episodes the other night which was probably a bad idea as I was tired.

It's not something you can watch half heartedly. Requires concentration as the pace fluctuates wildly.
yeah forgot that and watched the first ep tired, didn't get through it in one
a bit upset they didn't kick it off at the same height as they did for the second season
should be a good season though, usually Frank is manipulating people who should be in higher positions of power than he is, but now he's at the top it'll be interesting to see how the game changes
Jumping in now...

Ep 9
Franks bar in the phone to dunbar >>>
Finished it last night, not sure what to make of the season as a whole. Seems like what happened could of been cut down to half and had more of a season.
Teed up to be a good season 4 but meh, was nowhere near the levels of season 2.
