Liz watched "House of Cards" today.

It only took her about 18 hours, but she finished it!

  1. Welcome to #HouseOfCards day! So far Kevin Spacey has killed a dog and talked to the camera for like five minutes. We’re six minutes in.
  2. You guys, it’s really important that you know that Kate Mara wants to BLOOOOOOG! It’s very "Social Network." #HouseOfCards
  3. "That’s how you devour a whale, Doug -- one bite at a time." So far, the dialogue loves its metaphors and similes. #HouseOfCards
  4. An awful lot of charismatic bald guys on this show. Less talking to the camera, as we go. #HouseOfCards
  5. Normally, news-shows-within-shows associate with the parent companies. #HouseOfCards is a free agent; they went with ABC/Stephanopoulos.
  6. The Princess Bride is stone cold on a sociopathic level, and I kind of love it. #HouseOfCards
  7. "Yo, Twitter twat. W-T-F?" Real dialogue from Episode 2. Yo. #HouseOfCards
  8. And now, onto Episode 3! No "Previously On" at the top of eps, by the way. The assumption of binge-viewing, in action. #HouseOfCards
  9. Episode 3: First non-Fincher-directed episode. Fell asleep for a little bit there, but now I’m back to work. #HouseOfCards
  10. Had some trouble staying awake through Episode 3, but finally just finished it. Onto Episode 4! #HouseOfCards
  11. Episode 5! This show actually sounds like it understands the Internet, which is good given that it is on the Internet. #HouseOfCards
  12. "You fuck me? I fuck back!" I’m not sure how that works. (Things have gotten super-back-stabby of late.) #HouseOfCards
  13. Episode 6 features YouTube remixes and Dennis Miller making a Lee Harvey Oswald joke. What century it is right now? #HouseOfCards
  14. Onto Episode 7! The episodes don’t have names, so my notes refer to Episode 6 as "the one with the weird sad handjob." #HouseOfCards
  15. So far, to #HouseOfCards’s credit, the use of profanity and nudity isn’t at all excessive. It’s mature without being deliberately edgy.
  16. Maybe I spoke too soon. #HouseOfCards Episode 7: "The one with the creepy cunnilingus scene."
  17. It’s all blending together, but I think Kate Mara wasn’t in Chapter 8 at all. Which made me realize I do like her character. #HouseOfCards
  18. Time for a break. I leave you with this old-timey folk wisdom from Kevin Spacey: "Never slap a man when he’s chewin’ tabacca." #HouseOfCards
  19. I’m back, I’ve had what Burger King calls a "medium" diet Coke, and I am ready to finish plowing through @HouseOfCards! Episode 9, bitches!
  20. Getting really into Spacey’s @HouseOfCards monologues, even with the Southern accent. (This might be Stockholm syndrome kicking in.)
  21. What have we done... RT @liztellsfrank: Getting really into Spacey’s @HouseOfCards monologues. This might be Stockholm syndrome kicking in.

Frank's missed out on a lot of pop culture over the years. So sometimes, Liz tells him about something he's missed. (When not playing #masseffect2, that is.)
