I was planning on doing the OT unless someone else is super-motivated and wants to take a crack at it. (If anyone is extremely interested, send me a PM and let me know.)
Like Ratsky said, the OT will go up a week before the Feb 14th release date.
A week before the new season starts, just like with every TV show OT.
Yeah, I know the week is standard, but I was worried Cornballer's mod-ly duties may get in the way of that. Sounds like he's got it under control though. Can't wait!

There might be some spoilers in this, but I don't have time to read it all right now. Seems like a contentious interview. I found it difficult to not read it in Frank Underwood's voice.Kevin Spacey discusses the new season of 'House of Cards,' TV's new business model and whether he has political aspirations.
Haha, for some of these answers he seems to be in character. No real spoilers to speak about (outside of vague season 1 spoilers), but lol at him sending Woody Allen a Netflix subscription.

Seriously. Sounds like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.

In Spacey's defense, there were a lot of really inane questions in that interview. Like the one about dead dogs.

More gifs from the HoC tumblr:
"You are out of line, Frank"
"Stubbornness is far more costly than obedience"
"Hit him again, and hit him now."
"I will not be left out of the loop."
"The West Wing is tempting."

Just read that. Niiice
Yessss. I don't think the series should go on seasons and seasons, but at least with three we'll have a nice beginning middle and end.

If they're following the narrative structure of the British House of Cards, three seasons would make sense.
(Of course, they could end up going beyond three.)

hrm. Resigning for Season 3 is not reassuring to me.

FYI: Constance Zimmer (Janine) was on Aisha Tyler's Girl on Guy podcast last week.
Aisha's voice during the plug bit sounds wrrrrreccckkkeddd. It didn't help that it went on for far too long.
Great episode though. Thanks.

Interesting development. I don't think House of Cards is the sort of show that needs to go on for years and years, but I also don't think that Kevin Spacey would be willing to do the show for that long either, so I'm not too worried about this being stretched out. We'll see how this pans out.
Ha ha, yeah.

The original novels and UK series are a three-part story. I'd start worrying if they went beyond that into overindulging-the-protagonist Dexter territory. But I don't see Spacey signing up for that kind of thing.
Have to admit that I watched the first season just recently but think I'm hyped just as high for it to be continued. The ending was so classic, loved that specially, loved the difference in minds and lifestyle in general.
Although I'm not too much of an expert of politics or should I rather say conspiracy, I hope that this time the spinning gets wilder, since mostly everything around Russo for example was pretty predictable, same goes for Zoe, which of course is only a concern in writing, the characters themselves were wonderful.
Also I think my major complain against the season was that its feeling of time was kind of loose. I can totally imagine that some of the processes in the story take time and that also gets addressed at certain points but not in the overall picture. I don't want to say that there should be a date displayed every new day, but a more defined, reliable time table would add greatly to the experience.
Not so sure about Chapter 8 either, I liked it and think it was good to include it, but it would have worked so much better if the series would have been released on a weekly basis, this way it killed some momentum and felt a bit out of place.
I think I'll watch Veep shortly before the 14th and the House of Cards over the weekend.

I'm thinking about listening to some of the commentaries and putting the subtitles on.

A few more GIFs off the tumblr. New thread will be up tomorrow.

"I feel like Im losing control of my own goddamn administration."

I might rewatch the last couple just so I'm up to speed on where we left off.

Still worth watching.
I don't think it gets better but it is still extremely good. Season 3 was a bit of disappointment iirc but the newest season delivered.
Would definitely recommend watching it all though. Still one of the best shows still going at the moment and has been ever since it started
