Momentum Killer

Where's the political intrigue? Where's Kate Mara?

The episode was a let down for all the reasons that episode 3 was a great success. They both took us away from the primary plot lines to provide more depth to Frank's character. But while we needed this information early in the series, by episode 8 it completely de-railed the show's momentum.

And wait, Frank Underwood had a gay fling with his A cappella buddy? That revelation really did not even come close to feeling organic to his character. They didn't even attempt to earn it in the way that a show like Mad Men has slowly built up to its strange Don Draper revelations. To be honest, House of Cards just isn't deep enough for this type of soul searching. I'm excited to get back to Washington for episode 9.moreless
