House of Cards Season 4- SPOILER VIDEO RECAP


THIS IS FILLED WITH SPOILERS ON HOUSE OF CARDS SEASON 4. DO NOT LISTEN/READ UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS GREAT SHOW.

Well season 4 has come and gone for me and many people asked me throughout the day do you regret watching it all in a period of a day? My answer to that is hell no. It's a treat to be able to watch it all at once via Netflix like a big movie with a brief intermission for dinner and drinks with some friends downtown. Now was it the best season yet? Not entirely but it was much better than season 3. I want to use this small entry under the video to highlight Meechum and Freddie because of events in  season 4 that stuck out to me. Meechum's character development was a strange path overall since season 1. He is tossed around from worthless to valuable to sexual conquest (still weird), to irrelevant to mvp and it's all very abrupt. Meechum however was vastly underutilized with potential filler pieces to the story line that went to Freddie over him.

The fact that Freddie was used more overall than Meechum is a travesty in my opinion, even though I love Freddie's character in seasons 1,2 and 3. I didn't mention him as he is irrelevant to the story overall but after season 4, I deeply regret not mentioning him in my reviews because his interaction with Frank was so powerful that my mouth fell to the floor upon hearing it. The animosity, from a man who seemed so friendly to him, is now palpable and has consumed him. He is probably done as he told Hammerschmidt, "I may hate the man, but I aint no snitch. Leave me the fuck alone" and that is a perfect way to end his character's journey.


I hope you enjoy my, albeit lengthy, recap of season 4 above. Next week is anime week and I hope to convince some of you to try at least 1 episode of a series even if you have never been into anime.

Why I Watch Game of Thrones

Well it's here, season 6 of Game of Thrones is only days away and right in time for dead week/finals week (thanks HBO). I have papers galore, a test to study for and a room to pack up but I am going to make time to watch the premiere of my favorite show on television. This will be a very basic, very spoiler free post so you guys can experience it unlike what my friends had to endure when i tried to get them to watch Breaking Bad.  So why is Game of Thrones my favorite show I watch? Characters Too many names to so who everyone is, and this isn't even half of the cast. Normally, a show has maybe at most 10 really strong characters that are considered main or supporting characters that you either love to root for or love to root for their demise. GoT really goes against this generic plot as there are twenty characters pictured above and there are even more characters that have recurring roles with them like Davos, Shyreen or even Hodor! Each character brings something di...

Why Sleepy Hollow is the Best/Worst Show on Fridays

We are back after Spring Break and work! Thanks for being patient everyone and settle in, and keep the light on, this one is spooky. Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie as Ichabod Crane and Abbigail Mills in Sleepy Hollow. Image: FOX Alright now this is one of those posts similar to the  Cutthroat Kitchen  post I made about a month ago expressing some bias as to why I think you should watch what I (Wood) watch. In freshman year of college,  Fringe  got cancelled by FOX and two new projects were picked up to take it's place. One was called  Almost Human,  helmed by J.J. Abrams (creator of  Fringe ), a sci-fi police drama that failed miserably    and the other was by the other creators of  Fringe   Robert Orsi and Alex Kurtzman which became  Sleepy Hollow.  The show's title however and what you expect it to be about are completely different. I will explain this further but buckle up because this isn't the story of...

Future of the Blog/Why TV?

What a semester it has been so far and let me say, it has been a pleasure. Right now we are in a lul for shows as some spring finales have already happened and Game of Thrones premiering the 24th (not 17th as I say in my video) so that will be my last blog post of the semester before I take a break trying to get a job and reformat the blog. Thank you all so much for your viewings and feedback over the past 3 months. It really helps me keep going and enjoy doing it rather than playing a video game or just starting a new show. The final 2 weeks will feature content about Avatar: The Last Airbender,  as it was pointed out by my brother that I didn't have it on my list in "anime" and the season premiere of Game of Thrones . Thank you all again for visiting and I hope to have meaningful content to add over summer when everything is on hiatus.
