You know, I like having time off …
Really.
I’m actually going through some, right now.
Yes … I’ve got until Saturday off, and am back to work on Sunday.
In theory … ? That gives me plenty of time — in theory — to relax!
Which, two days in, hasn’t actually started …
Regardless of that … ?
Regardless of that, I’ve managed to prepare tomorrow’s Teaser video.
AND catch some much wanted TV.
Yes …
You’re right …
I’ve caught another episode of House of Cards, series 3.
And I think they’ve just given us a really MEATY character …
~≈fl≈~
Episode 3 opens by showing us protestors: protesting at the state visit of Russian President, Viktor Petrov (Lars Mikkelsen).
Between them?
The two country’s want to attempt to build peace in the Middle East: by putting US troops in the Jordan Valley area.
Something the Russian President really doesn’t want.
Things build to a head: in the aftermath of a State dinner: with a lot of vodka doing the rounds.
It’s only during private meetings, after that dinner?
That the two presidents realise they are going to clash: as President Petrov wants an announcement from President Underwood that US troops are heading for the Valley.
Something President Underwood … ?
REALLY doesn’t want to do …
~≈fl≈~
Now …
Is this episode STILL good … ?
Or, LORD, yes!
Now, I’ll make a confession: this series hasn’t necessarily introduced drastic new bits of plot.
But, in the shape of Lars Mikkelsen’s Viktor Petrov … ?
Have a character that is both a ruthless political heavyweight … AND every bit as nasty as a certain FU …
Good, ’ere, innit … ?

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
