House of Cards Season 3 Episode 11 Discussion and Thoughts

Episode 11

• I wonder if the public really always stands up to politicians and people this much
• Gavin, that's the computer nerd guy's name. 
• Shit he says Rachel is alive
• What's he playing at?
• Why is he doing this?
• Why is he screwing with Doug so much?
• Doug was doing so good... damn
• Hip ass way to break some electronics
• Oh Doug please don't fall down the stairs
• Having Jackie play pit bull seems weird
• She's always been nice
• For example, not wanting to involve her kids
• That's a lot of technology wasted there
• Is Jackie doing a double play or is she actually turning on Frank?
• Her it's harder to tell with than Doug, Doug is so so loyal to Frank, Jackie less so
• It was a test, she's sticking with Frank, but isn't exactly loyal
• This is an odd primary for the Democrats. An incumbent running against two women. 
• Doug not watching the debate is a big moment
• Something symbolic about Contagion? I don't know what or how but it's a thought
• John King
• Lots of laughter at that moonshine line
• Maybe I don't get alcohol jokes but it didn't seem that funny
• More John King
• John King is not really moderator-ing
• This is just not going very well in general
• Yeah that sexism comment seems weird but she might be spinning it here
• Yes spinning it pretty well
• Jackie is owning this
• Franz: "Dunbar's a bitch."
• John King come on.
• This episode is definitely pretty exciting, more so than the rest of the season. 
• More dramatic
• I like it
• Frank with his personable jokes
• This debate is great, way more exciting than pretty much all real debates 
• Jackie was right about these arguments seeming weird and off but they are doing a good job of turning the tide when Frank is struggling. 
• Though this kids one will probably turn on 
• If this is telling us anything, it's that debates would be way more interesting if John King moderated them all
• That is, if John King basically let the candidates do whatever the hell they wanted
• Frank is vicious even against Jackie god
• Wow 
• This episode is really good. I also loved episode of 11 of season 1 (Russo's death) 
• Poor Jackie. 
• Freddy, always brining some logic to the situation, putting things in perspective
• Franz: "What if Thomas Yates is like... God, or something."
• That would be interesting 
• Doug is better!
• For now
• Maybe
• Claire passing out is a weird plot line
• Not necessarily bad just seems odd
• Jackie goes for Dunbar
• Shit
• Remy took off his government pin
• Claire looks like Bush on 9/11 reading to these kids
• Frank turning away important shit to be with his wife 
• This is the House of Cards we all know and love
• It's definitely back now baby
