There will be SPOILERS. Unless House of Cards was going to somehow venture into a discussion on the penal system, via a crossover with Orange is the New Black, the early announcement that the series had been renewed for season 3 took some tension out of the finales climax. That is to say, it seemed unlikely that Frank Underwood was in any real danger, and that his efforts to clutch the highest office in the land would be anything less than fruitful.

Perhaps there was some middle ground there, and Franks attempt to see President Walker impeached and subsequently removed from office through his own resignation, of course could have fallen flat, leaving Vice President Underwood to roam the halls of the White House as persona non grata for the rest of Walkers term. As interesting as that might have been, it was never going to happen and had the series ended with. In order to get there, though, the episode had to generate some tension between the president, Frank, and Raymond Tusk Gerald Mc. Raney, while also offering up the predictable sacrificial lamb of the season which, in this case, appears to have been Doug Stamper Michael Kelly. After being spooked by hacker activist hacktivist Gavin Orsay Jimmi Simpson, Doug scrambled to move Rachel Rachel Brosnahan, his unrequited love interest and one of two people capable of linking Underwood to Peter Russos murder way back in. Understandably thinking she was about to be done in Adriana style, Rachel turned the tables on Doug in the woods, brained him with a rock and left him to die. With season 3 now in the works, perhaps we can expect Rachel and Jimmi to become D. C. s newest power couple considering they could topple a standing president with charges far more deliciously sinister than being linked to a money laundering operation being run by a corrupt Chinese businessman, funneled through a Native American casino, and ostensibly spearheaded by a billionaire with the ear of President Garrett Walker. But if that last scenario is any indication, the citizens in the world of House of Cards take such financial matters very seriously, as demonstrated by President Walkers approval ratings dropping into the single digits well below what Nixons rating was just before he resigned. So, if Frank just continues killing young, influential journalists and South Philadelphia congressmen in the most conspicuous manner possible, hell likely hold on to his presidency for a second term. And thats as easy as it was for Frank. For all the supposed tension and bold power plays there were between President Walker, Vice President Underwood, and blandly villainous Raymond Tusk, the pinnacle of the season boiled down to a soupy and earnest multi page letter, written on the old Underwood family typewriter, in which Frank solemnly recounted his fathers history of drunken abuse, and lack of conviction in taking his own life. Not long after wrapping Dragon Tattoo, Fincher took on House of Cards, an adaptation of the British series about a ruthless member of Parliament who murders his way. Frank decided to run with Claire as his VP at the end of season 4, and the 2016 election is still a priority for the campaigning. The wait is over Netflix just released the first full trailer for House of Cards highly anticipated fifth season, one month before its May 30 release date, and it. If you can stand to deal with more politics, its time to remind you that House of Cards is returning for its fifth season on Netflix at the end of May.

As the audience has already witnessed the extreme lengths Frank is willing to go to achieve his single minded goal of attaining power, having a letter read by an embattled president who is hiding out at Camp David, become the impetus for him to bring a venomous snake hed rightly seen as duplicitous back into the circle of trust is about as dramatically inert as things can possibly get. Not only does it not require Frank and Garrett to meet face to face and have, you know, an actual dialogue, the best the audience can hope for from the president is a series of vaguely dissimilar facial expressions in which he appears to be struck by the awe and wonder that is Franks heartfelt letter written on a typewriter that may as well have been enchanted, since it apparently wields more power than the presidents wife, his advisors, or members of staff. Its easy to understand Franks manipulation of others around him based on their fear or avarice Catherine Durant Jayne Atkinson, Remy Danton Mahershala Ali, and even Jaqueline Sharp Molly Parker among them but when the manipulation is of an entirely emotional kind especially of someone with an established reason not to trust him the payoff and, more importantly, the credibility of such a thing becomes far more tenuous. Most egregiously, though, it makes President Walker possibly the most feckless, susceptible individual on television Netflix or not today. And that spineless incompetence, in turn, makes Franks dual conquests of a sitting president, and, in essence, the construct that is democracy considering he rose to the highest office without winning a single vote to do so resonate with the authoritative timbre of a stifled cough. If a hero is only as good as the villain he faces, then what is the standard of measurement for the anti hero Does he not require an adversary or obstacle of considerable power through which he can test his mettleMany would argue that he does, and in the case of House of Cards, such an entity wound up being woefully absent. In the end, neither President Walker, nor Raymond Tusk afforded the narrative the kind of adversarial component that would have brought weight to Franks accomplishment. As a season finale,.
