Kevin Spacey on House of Cards...
breaks the theater's fourth wall, speaks to the audience directly, and describes his motivations for what he is about to do.
Imagine if that happened for real:
Senator Graham: turns to the audience and says: "I don't care about no Ben gayzee, I am scared shitless about some Tea Party rube stealing my job in a primary."
Old man McCain: turns to the audience and says: "I am still pissed about 2008, and I will run as long as my wife's beer money will keep me in office. Oh, and screw you."
Shrub: turns to the audience and says: "Yeah I whiffed on that 9/11 thing because I had to stay up past 9:00 pm some nights, I didn't have my travel pillow, briefings cut into my bush cutting time, and I was worried about that bag of pretzels attacking me. Oh, yeah, Big Laden was a Clinton priority so I didn't give a rat's ass about it."
Cheney: turns to the audience and says. "I got multiple draft deferments, a new heart, got to be President, outed a CIA agent, and got away with it free and clear. Oh, by the way, sure my Halliburton stock was in a (wink) blind trust."
Seamus the Dog: turns to the audience and says: "Dirtying my dog carrier will not be the only thing I shit on. Hey Mitt how do you like me now?"
President Obama: turns to the audience and says: Watch me win the election in two words "Please proceed."

I just started watching the first season and I find it to be a little boring. 
Totally addicted and want to slow it down so it doesn't end too soon.
It had me immediately.
Haven't watched Scandal, but I don't really watch commercial TV.
Just started "Breaking Bad" which I really like, though.
I don't do commercials. 
P.S. If you have Netflix (they have it also).
Totally hooked.
Much more of an edge, much better villain.
However, having seen the BBC version, I enjoyed comparing and contrasting the current version.
they are talking about Season 2 now..
I dunno....maybe best to quit while they are ahead
but
OTOH...an evil VP.....hmmm....I wonder who they will model???
We all know what they are thinking but not saying out loud.
