Netflix: House of Cards
Premieres tomorrow. All 13 episodes drop at once.
Heres an interesting nugget from a Forbes column: http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothyp...s-this-friday/ But BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield thinks that if House Of Cards is a success, Netflix could also start demanding a fee from the broadband suppliers that plug their fat pipes into our homes and let us stream House Of Cards in the first place. You can read Greenfield’s full report here (subscription required) but his basic idea is that the cable companies are taking about $40 bucks a month from you for your Internet service and not sharing any of that with the content side because for the most part, they are paying networks like AMC and Discovery a per subscriber fee on the cable side. If Netflix’s exclusive programming takes off and viewers demand it, Netflix could be in a position to start taking a per subscriber fee from the cable guys on the Internet side. It’s not a completely unprecedented idea. According to Greenfield, ESPN gets a per sub fee for ESPN 3 from broadband. It would be a bold move on Hastings’ part and one that he’s not yet in a position to make. But if shows like House Of Cards help Netflix become the next HBO, the service could be looking at a whole new stream of revenue. |

Yeah, they have to close this thing out. You can't leave it open ended on so many levels. Season 4 has the potential to be epic, if they take the time to manage the characters properly.

My god...Could there possibly be anymore liberal gun grabbing propaganda bullshit in this season??? ridiculous. TONS of subliminal messaging in this season so far. Hell they even portray what seems to be their version of a young donald trump as the opposing candidate, or at least there are some parallels there. They even slip the name Trump a couple times into the season.
I was hoping this series wouldn't come to this....but hollywood/cia/white house couldn't resist turning this series into a govt propaganda machine. I guess this series is a carbon copy of the Clinton administration and Hillary is campaigning in an election year for potus. I like the series..like Spacey's acting a lot always have. Robin Wright is a milf and Neve Campbell looks milfy too. Never thought she was good looking but she looks great in this series considering I haven't seen her in anything since Scream in the 90's. There's a Kate Mara cameo (dream flashback sequence) and she is really ****ing sexy. GREAT body. Overall great season...but man...the gun grabbing bullshit. Come...the ****....on. I mean there are A LOT of parallels in this series and they did that on purpose.

Finished it up today. I thought it was a way better season than last season.

Season four was a complete redemption of season three. Badass ending.
I hope we are going to get two points of view next season.

That seems to be the consensus opinion. Season 4 may be the best season since the first season.

I'm only 3 episodes in but this thing is going Homeland season 2 on me. The writing seems really bad to this point. I'll keep trucking with it though.
