Season 3 totally jumped the shark. It went from being the very believable story of a ruthless power-couple who would do ANYTHING to gain the White House to a Progressive wet dream of political speechifying. The whole season could have been condensed into one episode, and all you would have had to do is edit out the political diatribes.

Season 3 was just one giant trolling session.

Underwood is the always-scheming, almost comically insincere Democratic congressman from South Carolina …
Way to cop the character out of spitting on a Koran. Wrong wing of the Uniparty, obviously.

It would have been edgy if they’d had him urinate on a quran instead.

You can bet that faggot Spacey enjoyed doing that.

Do not watch and will not ever watch.

I stopped watching in Season 1 when he violently raped his mistress.

If I wanted to be exposed to that crap, I’d just look up old Juanita Broaddrick articles.

One episode he p*sses on his father’s grave. The man is utterly evil.

I prefer the original British version, myself.

I finished it last night. Huge disappointment from seasons 1 & 2. I think they got a whole new staff of writers for season 3. Actually, I was surprised they did a third season because I didn’t see how they could top the first two, and they didn’t.

Have you seen the original British version? Now THAT was an ending!

why would a “Real Life Christian” watch that crap in the first place, would be my question?

Why read MacBeth?

Gay writers must be involved. Bet they got a tingle out of putting that in the script.

Kevin Spacey seems a little gay, so he probably enjoyed it.

A real Christian would have refused to do this.

After all, how do you represent spitting in the face of Someone who died for you.

Black Sails on Starz had to have a homo angle—and this show is about 1700s pirates!

The love that must not be named now won’t shut the heck up.

The whole Jordan Valley plot was a complete mess as well. But when Underwood spat on the Crucifix, that was it for me.

My bet is that the former Mrs. Sean Penn/Robin Wright had creative control over this season. Look how her own character meshes with Season 3’s professional-victim Claire Underwood. All the inane political sub-plots sounded like something straight out of Sean Penn’s tiny-but-fevered mind.

Is this sarcasm.....

It was an accurate literal depiction of what the democrats consistently do metaphorically, Frank Underwood is a democrat in case anyone has not noticed the dems make an art of spitting at Jesus.

Yes the scene was irreverent and disgusting, very sudden and hard to see; I do not think the show even scratches the surface in its attempt to display the corruption, fraud, deceit, cronyism and decay in the real House of Cards which must be cast down.

There will be a Payday Someday...

Is the ship called "The Raging Queen" by any chance?

(Note the future US Senator in the pic)

No, but they do fly a black fag.

Do you mean Sen. Franken or Sen. Blutarski? ;)

That would be Senator Al Franken on board the Raging Queen!

How people could have voted for that fool for their senator is beyond me, same with obozo of course.
