What's going on with Francis' hair this season? It's a much lighter shade of brown starting with the first episode. It was much darker at the end of season three. And by episode five this season....
Spoiler:
it's now grey/almost completely white, after he was shot and had the liver transplant

Yeah, this season kind of washed away the bad taste of Season 3

That was quite an ending. It'll be interesting to see what they do next season especially if they decide to make it the last season.

Spoiler:
I can't imagine they'll drag out the election stuff for more than a couple of episodes. It seems likely that at some point, Frank's body will reject his liver and maybe he dies and Claire becomes President.

This was a vast improvement over Season 3. When Season 3 ended I thought the show outstayed its welcome. When Season 4 ended, I wanted to see Season 5 right away. But I do hope Season 5 is the end. This show doesn't need to go on for too long.

Re: House of Cards (Netflix) - Season 4 Discusion Thread - premieres 3/4/16

Just finished my binge... nine episodes Sunday, and four last night... WOW, what a season! I agree with a few here that season four was next best after season one, but unlike a good amount here, I enjoyed season three. Maybe because the cemetery scene at the beginning of episode one was filmed less than a half mile from my home (a little ways away from the majority of filming done in Harford County, Maryland) and because I stood at that cemetery for two hours hoping for a glimpse of Mr. Spacey. As I finally gave up on ever seeing him, a dude with the film crew stopped me before I got in my car and asked if I could run to a nearby convenience store to pick him up a pack of Marlboro Lights and a lighter because he obviously couldn't leave his post. When I returned with the cigarettes, the dude told me they weren't for him, but in fact were actually for Mr. Spacey. Needless to say, I didn't get a chance to see or meet Kevin, but I sure did buy him a pack of smokes because I left without remembering that the film dude didn't reimburse me the eight dollars I paid! LOL

Cool story boss429.

And the season was phenomenal. It took a highly unlikely but original premise with the First Lady and ran with it so well you could almost believe it could happen. I too hope next season is the last, but only because the storylines are finally coming together and need to be tied up and completed. Whenever that happens I will have enjoyed the ride a lot, especially these past 13 episodes.

Just finished S4 today and it is quite good. I wasn't thrilled with S3 but I don't feel its the abomination everyone else does either. Very interesting ending to say the least. Does anyone else feel Claire staring right through you at the end ... almost creepy.

And has Neve Campbell ever looked hotter? Was never a big fan of hers but man she looks really good in this show.

Just finished it up, and it was the best Season since Season 1.

I think it was renewed for two more seasons, with a new show runner, so we shall see where they take this thing.

Only renewed for one more season, as of now.

I hope! Although it's a great series, it doesn't need to go on for any longer.

Also:

Spoiler:
Took me a couple of episodes to realize Conway was Joel Kinneman from The Killing, I guess it was the clean shave, even though his name is blasted on the credits I didn't figure it out for awhile

Also, what was the point of Doug dating the Organ doner wife?

Okay, so I went through this season over this week. And it was better than season 3, though still not better than than 1 or 2.

It felt like half the season was Robin Wright standing or walking in a hallway.

Also, I had to roll my eyes at the storyline (which they quickly dropped) of gas getting up to $7 a gallon and shortages.

Yeah, they treated it like a post-apocalyptic scenario.
