House of Cards — Series 4: Episodes 4 and 5 (Chapters 43 and 44)


Oh, that’s horrible, when that happens.

I’ve had to take off another day at work: with a dicky stomach.

I hate that.   The loss of money is one thing: along with the feeling I’ve let the side down.

I am going to HAVE to make sure I take in enough of my medication to deal with tomorrow’s very long shift.

At ANY rate … ?

At any rate, I’ve had the night to myself.

A night with nothing on TV, except what I choose to put there.

Just recently?

There’s been a few films: and?   Well, having worked out I can us Netflix on my Apple TV, that’s something I may wish to look at subscribing too.

iTunes rentals seem … to have less of a choice, right now, than other outlets: although that could well just be me.

At any rate, it’s something I’m mulling over … as I’m rather impressed by the overall quality of one thing.

That’s right … 

Netflix series, House of Cards.

You can possibly guess I sat down with a couple more episodes, tonight: can’t you … ?

Episode 4 — Chapter 43 — sees Frank setting up the defection  of a Russian banker: knowing that President Petrov — Lars Mikkelsen — would react badly.

Everything changes, though: when, out on the stump, Frank is shot, and almost killed.

By the newly released Lukas Goodwin.

Leaving Vice President Blythe in charge: and feeling VERY unsure of himself.

Episode 5 — Chapter 44 — shows us Frank’s hospitalisation: with a failing liver, he needs a transplant.

Meanwhile?

Claire is forward her own plans to bag the job of Vice President: by helping Vice President Blythe with their little Russian issue …

Now … 

Good … ?

Oh, LORD, yes!

House of Cards series for has — in seriously injuring it’s main character, and killing a minor one — opened up the story line: shifting the focus from Frank, to Claire, Doug and Heather Dunbar.

Good doesn’t necessarily start to describe it.

Many years ago?   I was seriously impressive with eerie three of Torchwood: Children of Earth, if you didn’t know what the title was.

Series four of House of Cards … ?

Is looking THAT good, so far!

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.
