House of Cards – 205 – “Chapter Eighteen” Instant Take

Well, it’s been a fun first day of our House of Cards marathon.  I can honestly say the show has exceeded my expectations for it’s sophmore year.  I hope everyone who is mainlining the show with us is having as much fun.  We’re going to get some food and shut eye, and we’ll be back early in the morning to hopefully finish the final eight episodes tomorrow.

In this episode, Frank squares off against the newly introduced Feng and Tusk alliance over some touchy WTO Conferences being held with the Chinese, and manages to do damage to both parties’ reputation with the president in the process.  Claire is confronted with inconsistencies in her interview from last episode by a douchey seeming new character, the oily Seth Greyson, who claims he has his eye on Conner’s job.  Finally, the Lucas plot wheezes it’s way to the finish line as his dumb ass gets picked up by the FBI.  Thank god that’s over with… or is it?!
