House of Cards Season 1 Episode 3

Franks eulogy in the church was top-notch acting! Definately a memorable moment, by any standard.

It was going to be hard to believe that such a cruel, conniving politician could be continuously elected from a friendly district in South Carolina, so this episode really felt like a brilliant move. If you wait too long in the season to unveil it, it becomes a distraction to the primary plot lines. Instead it filled in the gray areas nicely without losing focus.
