Stupid Netflix. Instead of cancelling yeye shows like HoC, they are busy cancelling shows like Sense8 that actually make a lot of sense. Misplaced priorities.

No one is detracting from the ingenuity or fine artistry of the tattoos. All we are saying is it was a tad cheesy and stretches the margins of believability to its elastic limits when Mike face-palmed and used the tattoos to beat a facial scanner! It's not even plausible, not by a long shot! Ness is a top-dog CIA operative – it's hard to imagine his toys would be anything other than state-of-the-art.

Anyhow, I think Mike using Blue Haiwaii's talents in diorama to re-frame Jacob for Garnes' death abated my rage at the whole facial scanner crock.

Michael Scofield break out T-bag for Whip? Are you listening to yourself? grin LOL. That will be the day!

Mike merely used T-bag and Whip. There just might be some truth in what Jacob was feeding Sarah in the pilot episode – something about Michael being an emotionally detached manipulator who relies heavily on game theory to achieve his end goals. Whip and his prosthetic-handed pops are only expendables in Mike's plan.

There's an ongoing pet theory though that T-bag is working undercover for the CIA and was reincarcerated into Fox River to that end. Let's see how much of this proves true if a Season 6 is released.

Well, regardless of the hit and miss of the revival, it was nice if only for the sake of appeasing nolstagia, to see the brothers back together on screen. Not a bad effort really.

I know right? grin However, that it's a topnotch tech doesn't mean it's entirely hack proof even by the most silly means. Like they say in the tech world, "Nothing is 100% hack-proof".

Ness was just messing with Sarah's head jor grin I believe Scofield didn't mean for things to end that way. I love game theory though grin

Pet theory? Well, I'd love to see how true that is, let's hope they bring back the show. smiley

I don't think so. He wouldn't say that, if he doesn't have a plan.
If he's as connected and powerful as they made him to be, breaking him out will be a walk in the park.

House of Cards Season 5

After so much anticipation... HoC finally delivers. This season happens to be better than the previous season.

To those who did not understand season 5, its either American Politics is not their thing, or the watched the show with a biased mind. Frank underwood has always been a selfish manipulative person. He always begins with the end in mind.


Claire is another Woman one cannot predict, she is loyal until provoked. The way Francis and Claire plays politics... It is something that should be studied. I still love the way Francis talks to us while others are standing still (While sharing his thoughts), I also noticed Claire is doing same now.

My favorite character has always been Doug Stamper, the guy loyal die. Never have I seen one so loyal in most of the series I have been watching.

If you have been following from season 1, i implore you to continue. As I say most times, the beauty of a tv series lies in its Plot. And unargueably HoC season 5 has a very good plot. I dont want to give out details till most people have completed the season. A lot of catching up to do for those still stuck in earlier seasons...We dey wait una grin


I normally could have posted pictures, but i am giving guys time to download and watch... make I no go post spoiler as someone said tongue

Just finish bingeing HoC, and I gotta say, it's a fvcking drag. If you thought season 4 was bad, this one is worse. It made me realize that maybe... just maybe, season 3 wasn't so bad after all.

My summary of the whole season...

- Season 1: Frank manipulates his way to being VP.
- Season 2: Frank manipulates his way to being President.
-Season 3: Frank has power but struggles to hold on to it.
- Season 4: Still struggles to keep power.
- Season 5: struggles. Fails. Now wants backdoor power. Gives presidency to Claire.


Bleh! So much for watching a genius master manipulator. What a loser. And to think bykebyke went as far as comparing this idiot to Lord Baelish of Game Of Throne's fame clearly boggles the mind.

I think HoC has overstayed its welcome. I think it's time to end it. Hopefully season 6 would be the final chapter to this snoozefest.

After so much anticipation... HoC finally delivers. This season happens to be better than the previous season.

You're actually the only other person that I have heard say this. The first person was my colleague but she also highly dig Quantico. Go figure.

Freciprocal:

Actually, you sound pretty biased, like you've made up your mind that you're gonna like it no matter what. That's blind fanboyism not objectivity. Don't get me wrong, I admire your royalty to the show, but daring to suggest that anyone with a differing opinion doesn't get it reeks of radical fanboyism to me.

This season just dragged for me. The writing for me was sloppy and all over the place with multiple arcs.

One of the things that attracted me to HoC was that it was realistic portrayal of real world politics. Aside from the murders, everything in Seasons 1 and 2 were things that I can see, and definitely believe. They really nailed the line of believable fiction. However, as the Seasons wore on they seemed to want to tie it in with modern events. Season 3 or 4 had the Russia plotline which was clearly influenced from Obama and Putin.

This season has a lot of parallels as well. I feel like the writers are just so lazy that instead of coming up with exciting scenarios they just rehash real world events. Everything at the end was so lazy and just convenient for the writers.

Claire's last words of the season practically made me cringe. I thought they were making them (Frank & Claire) a badass force to be reckoned with, but here we are again back to the Season 3 finale... rinse and repeat. She's just fvcking annoying now.

Bottom line, the show is going in circles and they need to hit the brakes, put it out of it's miserly, just cancel it quietly.

Biased? Mehn dude, you need to go through your first post I quoted and redifine bias. I have seen so many shows to be labelled a blind follower. I critic shows I dont dig, outline positives and negatives. I am sure you have not seen my previous posts. How can I make up my mind to like it before I actually completed all episodes before making assessment?

Funny enough you read my preview with a bias. You expected Frank underwood to be better than Lord baelish... Who even compares 2 characters from 2 different genre of shows? When Watching a show, Patience and Following the plot is always key. You were already tired at episode 3... Lol!!! Struggled to get to the 13th episode. What you should have done was seek extra views and opinions if you dint understand the show.


Everything builds till the season finale, which was not anticipated. Cos i never saw Francis stepping down for Claire, not after all the little victories he had accomplished. If you were to say the characters did not interpret the script much to your satisfaction, then we can beg to differ. Not all you typed Above.

Most things u said here are true except the script being sloppy. The series has always been about Frank and Claire attaining power. The means power is gotten is always shaddy, mindblowing, and annoying. Francis talked about a level higher than the presidency, he orchestrated the whole thing to put claire in power just for a pardon for him and Doug. Seems Claire has her own agenda.

Stupid Netflix. Instead of cancelling yeye shows like HoC, they are busy cancelling shows like Sense8 that actually make a lot of sense. Misplaced priorities.

Asides "Van Damme" who is honest ( Capheus Onyango) in kenya who inspires the people and Sun Bak in Korea whose storyline I find very interesting, I dont see anything the show has to offer. The have lovely soundtracks, asides that NOTHING!!!

Try and readup why "Van Damme" was replaced in season 2 (Aml Ameen replaced by Toby Onwumere) I would Love to hear your opinion on that.

I dont know your sexual orientation. But I might take a guess why you Love the show more than House of Cards tongue

Currently, there are two people in support and one person against.

I just started HOC and I'm in s1 ep8 and low key I'm already tired of it probably cause Francis plays a very long con in order to gain power and it's tiring. I actually prefer scandal to HOC, the little bit of action in scandal spicies things up and makes the series interesting to me.

You completely quoted me out of context. I don't even know where you were getting at. Now lemme break down what I said in simple terms.

My colleague loves the 5th season just like you (irrespective of the fact that almost everyone online has something bad to say about it), but then she has a wacky taste in television series to begin with. I use the series, Quantico (a universally hated show), to drive home my point. Get it now?








Freciprocal:

You expected Frank underwood to be better than Lord Baelish
Au contraire. Dude, you ain't getting me at all. It's like we're on two different dimensions or something...

Freciprocal:

Okay, now this is getting amusing.

What do GoT & HoC have in common? Politics and power, right? The former is a real life politics played out in a fantasy setting, whilst the later is a real life politics played out in a real world settings (albeit in a parallel universe).

Since politics and power were the running themes, don't you think it would make a lot of sense to compare main characters in both shows that share similar traits to one another? In this case Frank & Little Finger share some similarities thus comparing and contrasting their respective characteristics isn't only unevitable but criminal not to do so.

....


I'll stop here since I've already expressed my opinion on the current season pretty clearly on previous posts. Our opinions don't have to align but please try to be objective in your analysis. Any sane person that have watched the whole season and then come out to say Season 5 delivered is nothing but a fanboy.
