You know, I really have to work around stuff!
Or possibly not!
No, thinking about it, I’m right.
Today … ?
I’ve been frantically writing more teasers: AND the appropriate video.
Whilst heading out, shopping.
And frankly? Washing my socks!
As I couldn’t do all of THAT lot, tomorrow: as I’m on a long shift!
You know, if it wasn’t for the collection of TV box-sets I’ve got, sitting around?
I’d be bored, stiff!
~≈Ê≈~
Thankfully, though … ?
Thankfully, I’ve got enough TV shows banked up: to watch as and when.
Right now … ?
I’m sitting at my desk, with OMD’s Dazzle Ships playing in the background …
Having caught another episode of House of Cards third season.
And, yes: it’s looking good.

Episode 11 opens with Claire giving a speech on Frank’s behalf: whilst managing to avoid Franks biographer, Thomas Yates played by Paul Sparks.
Frank, himself? Is in Iowa for a three-way debate: between him, Heather Dunbar (Elizabeth Marvel) and Jackie Sharp (Molly Parker).
The ambitious Congresswoman Sharp … ?
Has made a deal to support Frank: so long as he goes easy on her in the debate.
Something she ends up regretting.
Well …
Politician’s lie …

Now …
I’m told Series three of House of Cards has had its critics.
As I think I said in my last post on the subject, I can appreciate that.
I think series 3 feels slightly different: and I get the impression there are those who feel it’s the weakest of the available episodes.
However?
I believe tonight’s 11th episode is still watchable TV: especially in concentrating on the Bernie Saunders-like Heather Dunbar, and the ambitious —and very Underwoodian— Jackie Sharp.
That, I think, is what I feel I should stress.
Episode Eleven of House of Cards three may not be moving the plot forward, rapidly.
But IS showing us the ensemble characters emotional lives.
That’s just as important.

I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
