I'm a few minutes from starting episode five of "House of Cards."
Kevin Spacey = awesome, and he does this aside to the camera that immediately reminded me of Ian McKellan in Richard III (without the hump). He just oozes sinister ambition and determination and whatever he's planning, you know he's gonna pull it off and you're just curious to know how and who will get hurt in the process. Though I am a little curious as to what the endgame is going to wind up being, but I guess we'll have to wait for the end of season two to find out.
I also couldn't help but be taken with Kate Mara... the minute I saw her I thought "this is who I'd have cast as Lois Lane if I was doing Superman."
And a series that looks like a David Fincher movie, how can you go wrong? I just wish he has directed episode 4, I would have loved to see how HIS Oval Office would look.
The one thing that does annoy me about the show, though, is that there are no episode names. It seems insane in this day and age not to do it, so I have a habit of coming up with my own names like I did when I would videotape everything so I knew what the heck was on what tape. use the old noodle a little bit.
