Everything has that kind of self-consciously bitchy/sarcastic/detached-irony tone to it, in terms of dialogue and performances.

you got something there.....

Frank Underwood (like Claire, like any number of non-fictional characters, for that matter) is a poster child for the glamor of evil, which, be it ever so glamorous, is still evil. That said, “Terry’s” sputtering aside, I think everybody involved with the US HOC knows exactly which religions in 2015 merely verbally flame those who insult them, and which ones actually bring out the gasoline and matches. And so does “Terry”.

Totally in character for democrats. Remember their last convention, they voted God out of their platform three times. Much to the embarrassment of their minders.

They certainly do not want to believe what is in store for those that deliberately “trample the Son of God under foot” as Hebrews 10:29 says.

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

Good one. Senator Blutarski couldn't be any worse than the real Senator Franken. He was certainly an infinitely better comedian.

You can bet that faggot Spacey enjoyed doing that.

In season two, Frank AND his wife sleep with their Secret Service agent and no one knows about it.

Secret service, indeed.

Well, he did urinate on his father's grave in the first episode.

Spitting on Jesus in Season 3 makes Frank look even more reprehensible since he actually pretended to be a steadfast Christian in an earlier episode, even giving a fire and brimstone sermon in a church (which of course was an election ploy).

I have to admit, it has been kind of fun watching the Underwoods unravel after all their scheming and criminal behavior, including murder.

Is that the final episode of the show, or of the season?

Well, that’s a new perspective.

The first Amazon comment said it all:

By shoeboy on September 8, 2000
Format: Paperback
Ahoy me fine salty sailors. If ye be lookin for gripping adventure on the high seas, this be the book for ye. It hoisted me mizzen mast and shivered me timbers, Yar! If you’ve ever wondered exactly what to do with a drunken sailor, this is the book for you. The author, Barry Richard Burg is a great expert on seamen and it really shows through. I was dissapointed to find that the nautical phrase “a three days blow” didn’t mean what I thought it did, but the author’s loving descriptions of how these pirates would oil each other up with whale blubber and lash each other with the cat o’ nine tails more than made up for it. I’m tempted to go summon my cockswain, rent “The Pirate Movie”, then kick back and mourn the passing of the days when burly pirates would start their day by opening the seacock and pumping furiously. Customers who bought titles by Barry Richard Burg also bought titles by J. K. Rowling — coincidence? I think not.

This is why I haven’t watched network TV shows in many years.

When I watch older shows from the late 70s and the 80s, you can see the introduction of gay themes becoming prevalent.

The watershed point seems to be 1983-1984 when the AIDS epidemic became widely known and very much a current event.

I thought it jumped the shark, then I realized that it portrays desperate Democrat evil.

Let’s face it, Underwood is Hussein. Conniving, manipulative and despotic. Helpless against real strength. Demonic.

Funny how it follows Hussein. I love it.

Dim’s don’t believe in God. Boy are they gonna be suprised. Sorry for the delayed reply. Kept myself busy today. Will probably do so tomorrow also. As I age I find I am becoming allergic to work so it takes me longer to do stuff. :D)

I watched all the 3rd season in 2 days and thought the same. He was Obama. A petty tyrant. His way or the highway.
Get what he wanted any way he could.

I prefer the original British version, myself.

“I vastly prefer vintage fare”

Me too. I watched the third season opening of “The Following” on Fox and it started with a lesbian wedding. I tried watching “Gotham” on Fox but grew tired of the constant campaigning/propagandizing for lesbianism. A Cardinal-Archbishop, an abuser, was also murdered on the show.
