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. |

I finished season 2 today. Pretty good show but all of the lying and backstabbing gets a bit tiresome. It's like Frank is never not lying.
Anyway, I was really pissed when they killed off Russo. He was probably my favorite character on the show. Nixing Zoe in that fashion was a WTF moment as well. |

Agreed. Although I'm sure there is some hot intern he can throw one in.
The one I'm most interested in is the Stamper storyline. He seemed to be the most genuine one out there, and now he appears to be dead. I'm sure they'll play it off as he fell off the wagon, but that was one of the best ancillary story line. |

Agreed on Russo being a character I'd like to see more of... And not just because of Kristen Connolly; he at least had some potential on his own merits.

Damn I thought the reason this was bumped was because there was a new season.
