Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Oh I don't know, I thought Ian Richardson nailed it the first time round as well (hear the venom he gets in the last sentence):

It's such a great part; add a great actor and you have TV dynamite.

Finished episode 8 last night, show is awesome.
FYI, I'm glad the guy they have playing Peter....they made shave his stash....holy shit.
And yeah you can see a screw job coming, the whole show is about him using whomever he can to achieve his own goals and objectives, I figured he would dick Peter over at the end...lets make sure though if we mention how that we spoiler it.

Just watched this show this weekend and went through all 13 episodes on Saturday. If I had watched this without knowing who produced it and you asked me who I thought produced it I would have said HBO and argued with anyone who said otherwise. Anyone else think the HD production quality seemed better then normal?
Whoever said this was like a gritty version of the West Wing made me think of the "walk and talk" gimmick that was used so successfully in West Wing where in HoC the "talk to the camera" gimmick is so successful.
And whoever thought of Claire's character needs more props. A power seeking women who isn't one dimensional is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's like a dark version of what would have happened if Josh Lyman from West Wing ever made it into Congress.
Really liked the talking to the camera stuff (and the occasional glare/glance, lol), for some reason Don Cheadle doing it in House of Lies made was one of many reasons that I can't recall for not continuing to watch that show.
The husband/wife relationship is crazy.
Need to start re-watching in a less binge-like manner.

I didn't really like Claire that much at first, she seemed like a standard go-getter power woman which I found kind of boring, until she
and then I really started paying attention to her. Wright does a great job.

Couldn't agree more, especially after they had to arbitrarily give the main character a gay past. Show's great and Spacey is awesome, why did they have to fag up his character?

I really like this show, and even the things I thought would be annoying (Spacey talking the camera, his inconsistent accent, etc.) didn't really bother me at all. Underwood is likable in spite of the things he does, and they did a very good job with his relationship with his wife.
And then I watched E10...

Just once I'd like to watch a 'root for the bad guys' show or movie without them eventually turning on each other. It's fucking infuriating that there's some sort of unwritten rule of Hollywood that the same goddamn thing must happen in every screenplay of this type.
