House of Cards
- Thread starter Kino
- Start date
Nope, I've never watched this before. I might check it out, though. 😛
There's a season 4? 😛 The rumors I heard was that there'd only be three. 😱 No spoilers though please (without tags), because I'm only current to mid-season 3.
Awesome series though! I need to restart this back up!

It's pretty awesome! I definitely recommend it as one of my favorite shows in the "Drama" category. I haven't seen Scandal myself, but the way I'd describe House of Cards is that the plot is very driven (each episode builds upon the next, each season has an exciting climax). There's a good amount of "holy crap" drama, but also some levity as well. It's a very well balanced series, and an enjoyable watch.Hissae2 said:

I'm half way through season 4 now!
Right now I'm about one episode after the point where it shifts focus from Dunbar to Conway, and after Frank and Clair team up again. I'm a bit put off by the Polyhop thing, because it feels like a bunch of BS to me. I don't think a search engine, even Google, could get data that is accurate enough to make that significant of a difference in a political campaign. A social network maybe. Maybe. But probably not.
It also seems implausible that the NSA could provide the data. Mainly because the NSA couldn't exactly give political campaign a pipeline of their data. You just can't connect a campaign's servers to a classified network, and surely someone would notice if the campaign carried terrabytes of data out of Ft. Meed. Even if that could be done, it seems implausible to say that an algorithm with current technology would be able to identify the kind of trends that would be useful to a political campaign.
Overall, my suspension of disbeleif is challenged, and the tension has decreased by a lot now that Clair, Frank, and Doug have teamed up again. Will the tension go back up again, and not based off of the rather shaky "Polyhop" concept?

Hi Kino,,,you have to be joking. Who in the heck does NOT love HoC? We blasted through the last season in an all day super duper special event with all the mega munchie treats readily handy with no need to move but go to potty. My girlfriend goes bonkers for this show as she is a political news monster. If I say one word or even beltch when this show is on I get a head slap. haha
