Colbert is savage. Loved the cameo, I remember the episode where Spacey actually came on as Frank for a minute.

The Pussy Riot scene at dinner is quite awkward. The translator was something else...

Agreed.
He's the kind of character that'd be one-dimensional in most TV shows and movies.

Ep 10 overall feeling
Having the main antagonist to Frank me a Mr. Putin like guy I think hasn't worked out very well. I am surprised they didn't keep Mendoza as the main guy Frank battles with in later half of the season. The series is always strongest when it is Frank dealing with the House, Senate, US politics. It is weakest when Frank is dealing with Russia

EP5:
The monument valley thing is kind of amazing. Can't think of any other tv series that have even acknowledged gaming, and to a much lesser extent indie games. Guess Spacey couldn't exactly endorse Call of Duty anymore without breaking fiction.

Colbert! <3
It just seemed like a cheap way to get a reaction from the audience.
5 episodes in and
it's boring. Shit is moving at a crawl.

I forgot how amazing the camerawork on this show is. I could watch everything in the Fincher filter.

Ep11 again
Holy shit, Underwood's campaign and planning just fell apart.
Full season feedback Ep1-13:
I have to say this season is a dip from 1 and 2, though not without some great scenes.
The Bad/Meh:
A lot of the backstories are poorly paced like with Stamper recovering or the whole America Works segments. The Russian stuff is sort of a love/hate thing by being both really silly and implausible but a ballsy attack on Putin-likes and an interesting way to expand the show beyond the usual domestic politics. Sadly the death of Rachel is so poorly built up to that it had almost no emotional impact at all. Totally counter to the death of Zoey in the past, which it was obviously aping.
The Good:
Spacy. Also the actress portraying Clair, and the actor doing Dug were very good. Dunbar's character on the other hand seemed pretty poorly played. The author was a bit of a mixed bag sometimes quite good and occasionally paper thin.
Overall:
Pretty uneven but still quite entertaining. Seemed like with a bit more time to tighten the script and coach the actors it could have been amazing. Not an 8/10 but not as low as a 7/10. Enjoyed watching but won't be rewatching it to refresh when S4 drops.

Only just finished episode 1, but if for season 4 they're building to
incumbent Frank vs. Claire for the presidency, I might lose my mind.

Episode one brought up a question for me...
If the president dies, say, one day before his term is up.... and the vice president wins reelection, can he run for a technically third term?
Also I remember my political science college class saying that the two term presidential limit was a myth for some reason, but I can't recall any of the specifics.

The Stanley Parable scene. Yes. So much yes.
Two drunks, one the POTUS, playing.
Besides what the other poster said (shock value) maybe it makes it harder for him to drink more somehow?

What bothered me was that it could start so quickly.
Was he just lying there, erect, waiting for someone to dive on in?
LOL yea I don't know.
It was filmed awkwardly. I guess Frank got some help with Claire getting on top of him and riding him until he got hard.
