House of Cards

Not a Superbowl fan.

We watched the first two episodes of House of Cards, with Kevin Spacey.

Excellent series! Don't miss it!

but there are significant differences. If you want to do a contrast/compare, Netflix is streaming the original.

I adore Kevin Spacey! And his little soliloquies to the camera are enchanting.

I wanted to wait until after the Ravens won the Super Bowl to watch the second. It seems pretty damn good so far.

I'm not really sure yet what to make of it. I'm into episode 3 now. I found it very interesting that in episode 2, John King of CNN showed what a puppet he (and others) could be and George Stephanopolis (sp?) showed how he and the corporate media are so subservient to the State of Israel, just as Hagel posited. Fascinating. I'll keep watching. Can't wait to see where the story goes. But the participation of these real-life media people makes me wonder if they are really as oblivious as I've long thought they are.
