The Underwoods Are Back In A Big Way

The Underwoods Are Back In A Big Way
sirdoomsbadcompany.files.wordpress.com

March 4, 2016. A day that has been on my calendar since Netflix spread the news on Twitter that "House of Cards" would be returning for a fourth season. Last year, the third season came out on Valentine's Day. As I binge watched season three, I decided to do the same with season four. Not to give any spoilers, but for the few who live next to or with someone that talks non-stop about Frank Underwood and Doug Stamper and you have no idea what it's all about, maybe this will motivate you to press play. And for those who are up to date and have not watched yet, this may make you cancel your spring break plans and watch all day.


Well, it is season four.

The show seems like it has been going on for years, but this will only be the fourth season, which makes for a total of 52 episodes of "House of Cards." If we estimate each episode being around 50 minutes, that means that a total of 43 hours, almost two days worth, of Underwood knowledge could be attainable after you get through this season.

Claire and Frank are back.

It has been over a year without the political duo of the century. Seeing Claire make her dramatic exit last season, I did not know what was in store for the President and First Lady. But seeing them back at it with their ego-filled heads has me wanting more.

More importantly, Claire is back.

We all know Claire is powerful and no one should stay in her way, but she makes sure in this season to be a force to be reckoned with, and makes Frank look like he has lost his devious touch in D.C.

Doug vs. Seth

Doug and Seth have their lives assigned to the President, doing whatever needs to be done in front of the people and behind closed doors. This season, we see them put to their test, and one may overcome the other and be put in their place—as obedient as a dog.

A Past

The one thing "House of Cards" does not do often is look back on the past of the main characters. Luckily, we see where one person in particular comes from and why this person is the way he or she is. We may even find out what makes him or her tick.

A Little Help, Please

Everyone cannot handle everything, and for once, a little assistance is needed for the sake of the country and its leader.

Ghosts of the Past

We know Frank got away with too many crimes as a government official, but things cannot hide forever. People keep digging, and the truth may be closer to making headlines than we, or Frank, thought.

A New Enemy

As we left last season, Frank demanded the Democratic Party make him a presidential candidate, and if going against Heather Dunbar was not enough, we see some strength from the Republican Party, as we see a Kennedy family look-a-like take charge. And who doesn’t love to look at the Kennedys?

Shots of Vodka

No, Frank has not become an alcoholic, although that would maybe explain the decisions he makes at times, but no story could be complete without Russia trying to assert their world dominance. Petrov and the United States have some negotiating to do.

Worth the Watch

Saddle in, because, personally, I believe once you get past the third episode, you cannot drag yourself away. I could not be more excited to have Frank and Claire back in the White House and "House of Cards" being part of my life again.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
