He had a small but important role in Fincher's Zodiac, which I assume contributed to him coming aboard here. Jimmi Simpson's great, I'm always happy to see him.

Yeah it also took me a while to remember the names they mentioned in the first conversation. It's been a while.

I'm on episode 7 or 8 right now and while I'm enjoying it, I'm not nearly as enthralled in it as I was Season 1. Francis' behavior has just become very predictable. Do whatever is counter-intuitive in order to create chaos and confusion. Hopefully we get to see some results soon this season.
Okay seriously, not even done with the first ep (10 mins left) and
Geez... the writing in this show... and the risks they take... truly amazing. However what just transpired... I dunno, I hope it was a risk worth taking. Because in light of how this particular... aspect... played a huge part last season, that was a really crazy thing they did.
I cannot recall the last time I was watching something and the rug was just completely pulled from underneath like that. I had no fucking idea. NONE.
I just... wow, I can't even fully find the words. O_O
WHAT THE FUCK HE KILLED ZOE, NEXT TO HIM SHE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTER BUT THEY ACTUALLY KILLED HER OFF? WHAT? SHE DIDN'T EVEN LAST FULLY INTO THE FIRST EP? NO NO NO. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. UNDERWOOD IS EVIL. I did not believe my eyes at first. I had to rewind and watch it again. Holy shit.

Episode 11 : Sex related
Episode 13 : Not sex related
What the fuck was with that threesome with Meechum? I'm so fucking confused. Do they see him as some sort of son/only person they will ever be close to? Shit was weird yo.
Episode 13 : Not sex related
President fucking Underwood. That ending was awesome with him knocking his ring on the table. He only did that once before(that I can recall) at Freddie's apartment. But freddie is gone, that sucks.

His methods for not getting raped in prison are some of the most hilarious shit on tv.
I'm totally with you. Finished yesterday too, and I don't entirely even know why. I basically spent half the time yelling at my monitor about how stupid everything was.
Like you said, maybe the problem is in expecting a serious show out of this instead of embracing the camp and melodrama. It's frustrating because I really love the idea of Netlfix getting into high brow original productions and want them to succeed.
Sorry for the vague question, but I'll spoiler it just in case:
I'm way past this episode but something has been bothering me. Some woman walks in with a jacket / hood into a tattoo parlor and gets her tattoo worked on. For the life of me I can't seem to place who that character was?
Jackie

i've been begging for over 5 years.
It's kinda his thing. He did that a lot in season 1.
Not as much in season 2 but that's because he buried his ring in SC. Which admittedly I don't really understand the point behind. It was a fantastic final scene though really enjoyed that shot.

A few fans put together an interactive threat level infographic for season 1: http://www.friendsmaketheworstenemies.com
There's a writeup on their process here.

S3 spec based on S2 spoilers:Episode 13:GOD DAMN! Awesome ending with the *knock knock*. I suppose we all saw it coming but seeing it finally happen was pretty neat. Season 3 is the downfall, then?
Yeah, I don't see how they get a 4th season out of this without getting it obnoxiously long.

I don't think the (complete season spoiler)
was as bad as people are making out to be.
It could have been done better, but I don't think it was terrible.
I can understand better now why some people think it falls apart at the end. There's way more build up than actual events. Sometimes motivations for actions are not clear.
I'm definitely re-watching season one and two before three comes out.
hacker plot
At least it uses real lingo (TOR and VPNs) and issues (privacy invasion and government surveillance). I'm still not quite sure how it worked in at the end.

Why did Walker relinquish his pardon for Tusk? Why did Tusk testify against Walker? Was he doomed for jail no matter how he testified? How was Walker not mad at Frank at the end? Was he more persuaded by his conscious and empty actions than what really happened?

He felt more loyal to Frank, remember he didn't really know anything about the laundering
Tusk testified because Frank was gonna be pres and would work better than a ineffective Walker (his first act as president was to fix china, just like he told Tusk he would)
And yup the letter worked

my biggest problem for the end: (all s2 spoilers)
the actual impeachable offenses (the dirty money, the counseling, the drugs, etc.) were all Walker's choices. none of that was set into place by Frank. so really, it just makes Walker look even more weak and idiotic than he already did and yet again, Frank really just lucks into being opportunistic once again. this series really needed a good villain to stand toe to toe with Frank and Walker clearly wasn't that and frankly Tusk wasn't really particularly engaging this season either.
Would love to see Jackie and Frank face off against one another in a real bloody, epic struggle of president vs. congress. that would be fun. I just want more Jackie!

I agree. But I also love the congress woman who is having this one night stand thing with Remy
I can't agree with that.
The marital problems Walker was having were exacerbated by Claire very, very deliberately. Then it was suggested they go to counseling...by Claire. Then Frank even says to us that Walker should be concerned about the visits showing up in the logs before he turns them over but lies to Walker about the very same thing. Of course all of this was driven by the Underwoods!

Speculation for S3 based on all of Season 2
Really wondering where the Rachel thing is going also gonna miss Doug as I liked his character this season. She's gonna be found by someone.
Also what's gonna happen with the hacker, they could spin that to some kind of snowden storyline that frustrates the president

Did anyone else really hate what happened with Jackie throughout the season?
She goes from this strong, female candidate puppet of Frank, to a slightly more independent hookup of Remy, than back to a puppet of Frank. I'm also not sure why she wanted to block Claire's Bill.
