Every single time.Ĭathy reminds Claire of one of my all-time favorite HoC scenes: that time these two formidable ladies played beer pong together. If there is a take-home from “Chapter 45,” it is this: The truth will not set you free. (The government attitude about this? They’re close to hacking it anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.) Love Peter Russo stealing Frank’s signature double-knock.īut I’m getting ahead of myself: It is my duty, as recapper, to keep you apprised of this boring bailout deal that America is striking with Russia and China, the latter participant getting our drilling technology to sweeten the deal. Still can’t top the extreme discomfort of the creepiest HoC sex scene of all time - “Happy Father’s Day,” shudder - but points for effort and art direction! The sound is so crisp, too. Everyone gets to make out and also do weird, ominous face-nuzzling. Hello again, Peter Russo! Stellar seeing you, Zoe Barnes!Īs is the HoC way, these dream sequences are more about mood than plot, going all-in on that beautiful-dark-twisted-sex-fantasy thing without expressing to us, really, if this is just residue floating around Frank’s subconscious or if - it couldn’t be! - Frank feels something akin to guilt for all the blood he’s spilled. Season 5 will premiere in 2017.I prayer-hand-emojied for some ghosts from Frank’s past to haunt his spooky hallucinations and, just one episode later, my prayers have been answered. “House of Cards” Season 4 is currently streaming on Netflix. It’s clear in Season 3 that Petrov speaks English, but any foreign leader, even if he understands the other language, will have an interpreter so that he or she will have time to think of responses.” 2, no foreign leader would negotiate in a foreign language without an interpreter present. Even powerful ones like Hillary Clinton didn’t do that. 1, first ladies don’t negotiate international agreements. “How many ways would that be wrong?!” Pitney Exclaimed. Would a first lady be left alone to negotiate with Russian President Petrov (Lars Mikkelsen) during a diplomatic mission? It’s possible, of course, Frank was the one who ordered the extraction, so there’s gray area here.ĥ. “A President could probably do that by direct order, but a first lady could not.” “A first lady couldn’t do that,” Pitney said. Could Claire really remove a terrorist leader from the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay to persuade his followers to stop their terrorist plans? “It’s extremely unlikely and probably politically unpopular, but at least on paper, a possibility.”Ĥ. “Theoretically, there’s no reason a deadlocked convention could not turn to a different candidate,” Pitney said, noting that the delegates could draft a non-candidate like Mitt Romney or John McCain. The system of primaries and caucuses was instituted after the 1968 Democratic National Convention nominated Hubert Humphrey, who had not won a single vote under his own name prior to the convention.
“Highly unlikely, given the expectations of the primary and caucus system.” “Right now, the Republican convention could deadlock,” Pitney said, referencing the contentious battle for the GOP nomination that could result if frontrunner Donald Trump fails to win the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the nomination on the first ballot. This is a theoretical possibility that could play out in real life, even though it didn’t on the show. Can an open convention really nominate a presidential candidate who was not voted in during primaries and caucuses, like Secretary of State Catherine Durant (Jayne Atkinson) almost was? He said, you pick.”Įstes Kefauver ended up winning, but this theoretical possibility and historical fun fact could see real-life ramifications in 2016.ģ. “In order to create some excitement at the convention, he threw the Vice Presidential nomination open. “In 1956, Adlai Stevenson was the certain Democratic nominee for president,” Pitney shared. Can an open convention nominate a vice presidential candidate not chosen by the president? Kennedy served as Attorney General, Congress forbade presidents from giving such jobs to family members,” he said.Ģ. Frank never would have been allowed to name her UN Ambassador in Season 3, according to Pitney. Of course, the Underwoods have done much more illegal things in the past in Claire’s quest for political power of her own.
