S05.E05: Chapter 57


Recommended Posts

I can't believe Donald Blythe called Claire a C U next tuesday! That was more amazing than when Freddy called Frank a motherfucker. Excuse me, a motherfucker MISTER president. See what working for the Underwoods does to a person.

Oh come on...an electoral tie...just like Veep trotted out. And the "Morning Joe" crowd makes an appearance. Ugh!

Who is Eric from Spotsylvania? I don't remember him.

And I'm not really interested in Doug's obsession with the widow and her's with him.

ErIc is the Civil War re-enactor who Frank met/took a photo with in whichever past episode featured Civil War re-enactors. I'm sorry, I don't recall exactly when that was.

I think that was season 3 with Tusk and the Chinese.  I remember the scene where the guy told Frank the story.

Miss Rosa from OITNB played Louise!

I knew she looked familiar.  She was great in OITNB, I miss her.

Bald weasel-face personality of a snake Doug Stamper gets laid again.  Why must we continuously be subjected to this abomination season after season?

Conway could have been a good character but he's so one-dimensional.  He strikes the same tone in every conversation and situation.  So when he suddenly gets hostile on his wife, I don't get a sense of where it's coming from like I do when Frank turns on Claire.

So is this thing really going to be decided by a coin flip?  I can just see Frank calling it.  "Heeeeeaaaa...TAILS!  I WIN!!"  Followed by several more episodes of congressional sessions debating the coin flip result and more maneuvering for House votes.

I agree that this storyline was much more interesting and entertaining on Veep. Mr. EB (who was a poli sci major)

Claire cracks me up. She insults Donald's dead wife, tells him he's a useless piece of shit, and then expects him to follow her orders.

Conway used to be annoyingly bland but now he's turning into an emotionally unstable ass. There's being frustrated and then there's doing unnecessary shit like knocking all of your kids' toys off the table. Temper tantrums are unbecoming on a grown man. I can't wait to find out what actually happened during his "rescue" mission.

Ugh, they're dredging up Rachel again? Please no.

Yes! And in addition to this, Miss Rosa, and other onscreen roles, Barbara Rosenblat is also a legendary audiobook narrator. Nearly 300 credits on Audible alone!

I've seen plenty of gratuitous sex and violence on my teevee, but nothing could quite prepare me for the heinousness of Doug Stamper in a sex scene. Of course, he was was lying passively in a supine position, and of course upon finishing immediately inquired about her sex life with her dead husband. That she didn't leave right away because she had to get up for an "early meeting" defies all credibility. I'm kind of kidding but kind of not: that scene seriously squicked me out!

I guess Claire knew absolutely she'd win in the Senate, so she bullied Donald into letting the vote go forward because he thought she'd lose.  Ah, when will these people realize that when the Underwoods push you do something, they know they will win.  I like Claire's softer hairstyle.  You go girl!  Even though you're nearly, but not just quite, as underhanded as Frank.

I appreciated Frank's explanation as to how the 12th Amendment works.  It is there for a reason and it can be used.  Too bad it only seems to be used in fiction.

Yeah, I don't have to see Doug's sex scenes, and frankly I don't give a ... over his bedroom relationship with the widow.

Conway is gonna blow.  That's why Frank will win.
