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 … ?

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.
