We Need To Talk About That Insane 'House Of Cards' Moment

If you haven't seen the "House Of Cards" Season 2 premiere, stop reading. No seriously, stop reading. If you don't stop reading, and you haven't seen the Season 2 Episode 1, you're going to be very very upset. You might turn into one of those people who swears never to read The Huffington Post again because we spoiled your favorite TV show, and all the fun there ever was, for that matter. So, please. This is your last SPOILER ALERT.

Ready?

And it's been so long since the last one, I should have watched the first season again. I wonder if their is going to be a third season?

I agree that I started watching Season 2 after watching season 1 a long time ago (the weekend it came out) and should have rewatched it before starting season 2 but anyway I have watched 2 season 2 episodes so far. They are having a season 3 which was announced this week.

At Netflix go up to the search box and type in House of Cards

then when the next page comes up click on the House of Cards link (there is a drop down menu on the top right for (Season 1 and 2)

Be sure you're on the Season 2 page - then scroll down to Chapter #14 - and the rest of them are down there on that page too.

Like, out loud at the teevee. Best teevee surprise since the Red Wedding.

Also, True Detective is kinda awesome on HBO.

My apologies! Not my intent. I was simply saying I was waiting for the Big Moment.

I love both versions of the story.

Again, sorry for the offense! Here's a heart!

Maybe she's only injured - this being a fictional show

Then, I thought it might be someone's dream or a "I wish" moment that Frank tells the audience

Then, I thought it was flash-forward, showing what will happen to Zoe near the end of the season.

Then I thought I was on the wrong episode, the last or second to last perhaps, and had to pause and check to make sure I was on the right one

About halfway through the second season. That opening was... Wow. I had a sense she was in trouble, but it was still totally shocking.

Really liking the show. Hate Frank Underwood, but I know we're supposed to. Robin Wright is amazing as Claire. The politics are pretty fascinating and infuriating. The actual liberals are often the good guys but also usually lose.

I'm hooked, and definitely wanna check out the original British series.
