CHARACTER-ACTOR TURNED LEADING MAN YET STILL MYSTERIOUS CHARACTER KEVIN SPACEY TO BE DIGITALLY ERASED FROM SEASONS ONE TO FIVE OF HOUSE OF CARDS

Kevin Spacey on House of Cards

This blog is rarely if ever used for blogging. It just has to be said how hilarious the media is taking the fact that Kevin Spacey has been cut from his own binge political drama crime series, HOUSE OF CARDS. Most of the articles now only praise Robin Wright for being the arch villain when in fact she's, compared to Spacey's President Frank Underwood, the better, morally, of the business-agreement-marrieds that seem extremely based on Bill and Hillary Clinton. Being that Bill's personal friend is playing him knocks out the theory that the show was ever intended to make the South-born poor boy who climbed in Washington on his wits and speaking-skills with a keen and edgy wife by his side look badly. And the question might have been asked, "Why would a Hollywood show about bad politicians be about Democrats and not Republicans?" The answer is simple. HOUSE OF CARDS is about two bad Democrats, which automatically assumes the rest are good or not-as-bad, and how can you have a show about two bad Republicans since they'll all... now you get it... But the craziness is not about Kevin Spacey being thrown out of Hollywood... the same place where the 'casting couch' was born and for a century thrived... but actually believing HOUSE OF CARDS would mean anything at all without its central character whose absence will cheat the surrounding cast, and the new sole-lead, Wright, from being able to react against anything. It's no different than if Bryan Cranston was erased before the final season of BREAKING BAD, which had a much stronger supporting cast, and even a spinoff that, in some ways, is superior. Anyhow... Like reading reviews on Rotten Tomatoes that mostly say the exact same thing to these optimistic articles about the next/last step of a very good cable show, there's gotta be a reason for all those whose job is to cross the line to now almost consistently work hard to tow it. So in closing, the fate of HOUSE OF CARDS is terminal despite the fact it's decided to move onto a final season. Till the end of time, everyone will know it's not a serial to take seriously and/or to take time following since the most important character vanishes before any kind of logical resolution.
