House of Cards Season 3 Episode 10 Discussion and Thoughts

Angry Frank is interesting Frank. Also scary Frank

Episode 10

• Iowans asking the tough questions. 
• Lots of feelings with Remy and Jackie, I find it hard to care. Maybe binging is making me cynical. 
• Franz likes brown hair Claire over blonde. I think differently, but I don't like changed hair colors usually 
• Doug finally has a family, sort of
• Is Thomas Yates becoming disgruntled?
• He seems annoyed that Frank hasn't talked to him recently 
• "He hasn't mentioned me at all?"
• Claire is worried about Frank never giving her any credit
• Is that cough followed by that x-ray a sign of something? Lung cancer?
• Underwood in full kevlar and camouflage is bitchin
• Putin keeping Underwood hydrated
• Why does Putin want Claire gone?
• Just to piss people off?
• As smart and capable as Claire is, she does seem to have made some mistakes this season, some sort of minor (buying into the Russians killed their own people story so easily) 
• Is hacker guy going to admit he's been lying?
• Or lie further?
• Or not really lie but speak in vagueries that make everything seem crazy?
• But come to think of it the situation is sort of ridiculous. 
• Putin thinks Frank is capable of murder
• He's never said out loud that he's killed anyone, has he?
• It would be cool if the first time he did was here in secret to Putin
• Doug's brother is such a family man, to an almost cheesy extent. 
• But he does sort of point out the sadness of Doug's situation
• Claire loosing her position seems like it'll be a big deal
• The whole series is about this couple gaining power, this is potentially a big setback, especially if she was meant to be the next power person in the relationship post-Frank presidency as they discussed earlier.  
• "Sometimes I think the Presidency is the illusion of choice."
• You can only make the choices if you're bad ass like Putin.
• Seriously doesn't Thomas look like a more complacent Bradley Cooper?
• Frank used to sex Zoe a lot, I wonder if he'll sex this author?
• This discussion is certainly leaning in the... sexual direction
• "I'm not asking as your biographer, I'm asking as your friend."
• Franz at the hand hold: "Ew, no, please don't." "Stop, don't do it."
• "Everyone's hurting," now feel my heart.
• Called it
• Franz, annoyed: "Do we have to have one gay sex scene in every season?"
• Maybe I didn't call it, the situation is de-sexifying. 
• I didn't call it, at least not yet. 
• It was a sort of human moment for Frank though
• He has no real friends, only Claire, and that's been iffy this season
• CASHEW!
• They knew everyone loved Cashew
• We would've rioted if he had not returned 
• That look at the end seemed overly dramatic. Still scary though.
