i love her more than sharks love blood
I STAYED UP MOST OF THE NIGHT TO FINISH HOUSE OF CARDS AND IT WAS A TERRIBLE LIFE CHOICE? WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK WAS THE SECOND HALF OF THAT SEASON? ESPECIALLY THE LAST TWO EPISODES?
JUST TO CLARIFY:
THE FIRST TEN EPISODES ARE [MOSTLY] SCHEME UPON SCHEME UPON SCHEME, CRAFTING A PLOT IN WHICH NOBODY IS ANY MORE THAN A PAWN OF FRANK'S, AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, AND IT ALL BUILDS TO EPISODE ELEVEN WHERE THERE ARE HOOKERS AND RELAPSES AND BENDERS AND OH, RIGHT, A FUCKING MURDER
AND THEN
THERE ARE
TWO HOURS
OF OLD WHITE DUDES
STANDING AROUND
WONDERING
WHO
WILL
BE
VICE
PRESIDENT
WHO IS AMERICA'S NEXT TOP JOE BIDEN???????????????????????
Like NO FUCKING SHIT it was going to be Frank as soon as the possibility was floated? Because especially with the fucking Bobbsey Triplets on Frank's case trying to chase down the Russo story, it just makes the most story sense to put him in that position. SO I DON'T KNOW WHY WE NEEDED SO MUCH FUCKING AGONIZING OVER IT? AND TRIPS TO ST. LOUIS? AND A LOT OF STUFF ABOUT STOCK PRICES THAT IT TOOK ME TOO LONG TO CATCH ONTO? AND THAT ENDLESS CONVERSATION AT FREDDY'S THAT I THINK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DECISIVE BUT THAT I TOTALLY TUNED OUT OF?
And what the fuck was anyone even thinking in the last few episodes anyway? WHY ARE ALL OF THE REPORTERS SUCH GARBAGE CHARACTERS? WHY THE FUCK WERE JANINE AND ZOE SUDDENLY FRIENDS? WHY DOES ZOE PUT POP TARTS IN THE FRIDGE? HOW WAS IT NEWS TO ZOE THAT FRANK IS AN INSANE FUCKING PUPPETMASTER AND THAT SHE WAS A PART OF IT? WHY WAS LUCAS EVEN A THING? WHAT IS WITH CLAIRE WANTING A BABY? WHY WAS LINDA BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP FRANK OUT AND LYING TO THE PRESIDENT ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR HIM?
WHY WAS THERE NO PAYOFF ON STAMPER FEELING ALL PROTECTIVE OF RACHEL AND HAVING STRANGE HUMAN EMOTIONS LIKE "CARING" AND BEING SO ADAMANT THAT SHE NOT BE A HOOKER ANYMORE AND THEN BEING LIKE "BUT HEY CAN YOU BE A HOOKER FOR LIKE ONE MORE NIGHT PLEASE?" AND HOW THAT WAS A SHITTY THING TO DO? I was DYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYING to see how that turned out because up until then I was basically building a Hey Arnold shrine to him in my closet featuring a sculpture of him made entirely out of napkins from secret meetings he had in diners, but I was like NO, BETTER SEE HOW THE RACHEL THING PANS OUT BEFORE WE FINISH THAT SCULPTURE, and then it just..................didn't? LIKE SHE APPEARED AGAIN AND MET WITH ZOE [FUCK YOU, ZOE] BUT IT WAS JUST MORE CLUE BREADCRUMBS FOR THE REPORTERS, NOT EMOTIONAL BREADCRUMBS FOR ME?
Also why do characters keep talking about how handsome Peter Russo is when he is ONE GOOFY LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER?
IN CONCLUSION it is super weird how going in I was like "OOOH, KATE MARA AND CONSTANCE ZIMMER!" only to hate both of them, but I fucking LOVED Claire and Gillian and Christina and Remy and my boyfriend Doug Stamper. I just wish the season had established that Frank was after the vice presidency and then ended with Russo dying, because the second half of the season still wasn't as compelling as the beginning BUT THE LAST TWO EPISODES FLAT OUT DIDN'T NEED TO EXIST THE END.
ALSO THE CHURCH SCENE WAS DUMB
