House of Cards SEO5E1 Parliamentary Debate with the US President

Description

[jacobr]

The 3 people watching C-Span on this day sure got quite the show

*"I will not yield"*

He looked like an emperor, screened by the Praetorian Guard.

“The sergeant at arms will remove the president” “The secret service will remove the sergeant and arms”

[zedmouse]

I think most people agree that season 6 doesn’t even really exist. Kevin really drove this show home.

[MxEnergyGreen]

The moment the speaker wants to remove the president and the secret service comes forward to stay by his side is so damn powerful

[einsteinboricua]

I like how Birch essentially rallies Democrats but then just sits back and enjoys the show. You can tell he sees through Frank and knows what he’s capable of (I mean, when Birch was Speaker, Frank was whip). He knows he stands to gain with this scene, even though there’s a sense of mutual loathing.

This show was everything. When Spacey was removed, it just lost its way.

"so this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause"

[ChairmanMeow]

This is why those checks and balances you learned about as a kid are so damn important lol

[narendrarautela]

This scene is so riveting..
This reminds us how a President with no regard for law of the land could alter course of history..
This also reminds why proper checks and balances are important even though they might slowdown the process..

This is such a well done scene. The camera coverage is super interesting because it seems to follow those who have power in this scene. Notice how Frank is shot rather heroically with lower angles and sweeping applause that covers up the decries from Republicans and the Speaker, which gets zero coverage at all because she's letting things get out of hand so easily. Notice how one of the Democrats covers her up halfway through when he stands up to applaud Frank. Season 5 was a bit all over the map, but this scene is pure quality.

I don't care what anyone says, Kevin Spacy is one of the greatest actors of his generation.

[adityagupta]

The best part of the show is that Separation of powers can be easily twisted and turned.

[justfun]

It was funny how Frank yanked the newspaper from the guy’s hand.

[samdenis]

Love this scene.. shows how easily parliamentary rules can be manipulated to work towards your narrative.

[karanbhatt]

The way he throws newspaper. I just watch it for that.

[edwardcatt]

Had this series come to fruition in six seasons with the full involvement of Kevin Spacey without interruption or compromise it would have been the perfect American drama.

As I dont see more than 6 comments, I assume I got the first formal invitation from the recommendation committee

[NicholasAng]

I remember getting chills watching this scene. One of the best scenes all season!!

[J_Rustle]

3:10 I’ve always liked the way he said “I will not yield, Madam Speaker”

Just the anger in his voice and the snarl. Kevin Spacey made this show and, even a few years later, I’m still so bummed that they kicked him off the final season. His absence definitely left a giant void.
