This is semantics, and nothing more

Just finished watching the entire season. It is amazing.
I saw Claire leaving Frank, but I didn't think it would be this season. It left us with a huge cliffhanger which is awesome

EP 2 question:
? Just want a yes or no from people that have seen more. Didn't know if I caught something or if it was just a coincidence/inside joke.
is there any significance to the reporter knocking/tapping two times on the door (like frank does) when she meets with the press guy

Well, it's a complete shift in dynamics. He's still a villain, but now it's a fight to keep power rather than get it. His humanity just can afford to be shown now.
After watching the entire season.
What do you think?
People won't like this season because Underwood isn't "as powerful" as before, despite the fact that he's more powerful than ever.
This season was the process of crushing who he was and a lot of people like to see him winning, and when you present an entire season on him losing ... people will get mad.
I liked the season and could be the best so far.

Episode 13:
Hot damn. Doug went there. Francis went there. Claire went there. Season 3 was pretty cray from start to finish, real intense. No regrets binge watching it all in one day like I did with the last season, though I must say I think this is a significant mark up from season 2 in just about every way. Still think season 1 is the best, but that may change after I've had some time to reflect.

The FBI has a bandwidth access limit? Are you fucking kidding me? These writers need to come up with more plausible obstacles.

I just stopped at 4 episodes amazing so far, I had to actually pull myself away. Only 9 more episodes and then I have to wait another year

I just binged all thirteen episodes.
Thank fuck Stamper finally killed her. Should have done that last season at the latest. Disappointed Frank and Claire's marriage couldn't withstand the presidency, but obvious in retrospect. The two of them aren't exactly stable individuals. Stakes were a lot higher this season, but it desensitized me.
I haven't been following this thread.
Could Frank run again in 2020 or did he inherit too much of Walker's term?
Post-Season Finale Spoilers:
Disappointed in this season, overall. I started off enjoying the season, but they've run out of ideas. There's no realistic way in which he could remain in office, let alone govern - virtually all his political ties are destroyed. They've ruined my suspension of disbelief that he could survive multiple terms in office.
I understand the need for this season to cover such a large length of time, but the way they covered the transitions didn't have much impact on me. This season spanned approximately one year, right? More like 14 months? I don't expect them to go much further past the election in season four.
I didn't really expect Dunbar to be his big political foe for this season. Also, with his political experience, it didn't seem prudent to push forward with such an unpopular omnibus jobs stimulus bill that did away with ALL entitlements. It's such a dick-headed move for someone with twenty plus years of experience in Congress. Then, when he's finally defeated over AmWorks, the plot completely discards it.
From everything he's done, the U.S. economy should be in shambles and their government seems to be even more dysfunctional than ours. I wasn't actually on the "series has only gotten worse since season one" train before today, but....
FFS, regardless of what happens to his marriage, what were the consequences if he manages to win the general election? This season undid the idea that Claire was essential to his schemes and successes that was built up in seasons one and two. Remy's been removed from the board as an antagonistic force.

What I love about this show is that each episode is like a mini movie. It moves at such a brisk pace, time just flies by. When the credits come up at the end, and I know there's nothing keeping me from pressing the "next episode" button besides how late it is, the fact that every episode is up NOW, it's really something else. Also, the way text messages are presented as an integral part of the show and so seamlessly (it's always been like this even in earlier seasons). Having the time of my life watching this. So good.

The sound mixing sounded off in that scene.
Ep 3
Great season so far.
I didn't expect things to start in the middle of Frank's (and Claire's) worst moment. I thought they'd show Frank having his way for a while and then introduce some conflict.
Also, I couldn't put my finger on why I recognized the song Petrov was singing. Then I realized I know it from Tetris.

The makeup department deserves an Emmy for what they are doing with Spacey's hair the course of this season.
I do not like how they retconned Freddy into an asshole.

My feeling is its a way for him to not feel his alcoholism is alcoholism but rather a medication. Its a rationalization for a deeply irrational action

how Doug is being left out, I kinda feel bad for him. His loyalty to frank is preventing him from moving on. Also, the way Doug treated his brother... ICE COLD.

I understand why people felt the show was completely different this season.... it's because it was. It had to be.

Haha, glad I'm not the only one.
Took it as symbolism to a zygote, she gagged or throw up right before, usually as pregnancy symptom. I don't know, sounds stupid though.

The real Lazarus Effect.
Yeah definitely. Actually my singular complaint with this season is the
time skip that happens between Frank being sworn in and the start of the third season.
