    alright, completely done with season 2 now.

    oh and to crashdmb, regarding your post earlier about the topless Zoe pic, it was practically one of those 'blink and you miss it' kind of moments. One person hands another guy a small stack of photos, and while he's looking at them one by one in his hands, you see the photo of Zoe topless, presumably from Frank's little "photo shoot" with her back in season 1. but again I just sort of wonder if it wasn't faked somehow, unless Mara changed her mind over the hiatus about doing real nudity.

    I finished Season 2 late last night. Some general thoughts that encompass all episodes, so I would advise not reading if you haven't seen S2 in its entirety yet.

    Finished the first two episodes. Great season so far. Gonna try to binge and finish at least half the season tonight (and watch NBA all-star game). Might be a late one.

    One benefit I have for working for the government - no work tomorrow in honor of Presidents Day. I fully intend to burn through the rest of it tomorrow. I have a couple other shows on my radar so I'll have something to pick up once I'm done too haha

    I might not even get to finish it this week. I like making it last longer.

    well I figure I've still also got the season 4 of Arrested Development to go back to. I hadn't taken another real, thorough look at that again since my views when it first debuted. and the ironic thing there, I was certainly looking waaaaay more forward to the AD series than I was to this show, and yet, I don't recall right now why, but I'm pretty sure it wound up taking me at least a full week before I got thru all those episodes.

    So if they keep adding a main character from Deadwood every season does that mean we get a clean-cut Ian McShane as FU's Republican adversary in season 3? That'd be pretty f'ing cool.

I think generally speaking in my memory, even threads we have dedicated to specific feature films -- as opposed to Casey's movie thread -- those don't have big spoilers openly talked about until the end of opening weekend.


    But I mean my previous post for instance, the rape that I talked about, I think I mentioned it in general enough terms (and that since it includes a brand new character we've never seen before, and might hardly ever again) I think I handled that openly in the thread with a fair amount of consideration.

Honestly with the first 2 eps done so far, I wouldn't be surprised if it was referred to simply to inform on how Frank might behave. hell there were 20 other plot points introduced in the first couple hours that are way bigger than that.

    That military guy at the dinner presentation, you've gotta have some real fucking balls to go up and right in front of her husband, kiss on the cheek-hello to this woman that you apparently raped a long time ago.
    I guess maybe either that guy doesn't even believe he did anything questionable in the past, and/or he doesn't think Claire would want to have ever told Francis about it to begin with.

    and I feel like a friggin rube asking this question, but the bit about the "secret part of the internet"... any thoughts of that actually being true?
    Yeah, good call, I'll try not to be too specific until after Monday at the earliest. Wouldn't want to talk about the catalyst for the main character's wife's story arch for the entire second season. That's like, a MAJOR plot point; Isn't it?

    I'm not trying to twist the knife, I just came in here a couple days ago to post something and was trying not read anything as I was scrolling down. But I kept seeing "rape". So I was like, "Cool, Claire gets raped, thanks dick." But it's also my own fault. Shouldn't come into threads when all the content is already available. Technically there shouldn't be any spoilers, but I see where you guys are coming from.

    wow so even a joke in the line of dialog at the start of an episode (that has absolutely nothing to do with plot) is a spoiler now?

    I freely admitted I was wrong about the R word, and I apologized. You directly referenced what's basically the entire endgame of the whole 2nd season.

    I agree, this was one of my big points in the spoiler I made for all my thoughts on Season 2. It felt so out of place without any natural build-up. Really felt like it was done for shock value.

    Finished. Absolutely fantastic. Sad I have to wait an entire year now for the next season. Completely beat. Will share thoughts tomorrow.

    Re: David Fincher & Kevin Spacey's HOUSE OF CARDS On Netflix (2.1.13)

    I've got four episodes left

    This season is starting to turn into early seasons of mad men for me - there are a bunch of characters and I know what all of them do, just don't know what many of their names are

    The ending to episode 11 was earned for me. A lot of foreshadowing throughout the season when I had to think on it. I won't say it wasn't bizarre, but I do think it fit perfectly within the character traits they've established.
