when you build a house out of cards the
walls will eventually tumble down
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
things we want to see in house of cards
the final season if you’ll allow me to
interject over at mojo talks we have a
little show called watch club when we
talk about the biggest shows on TV like
Legion and West world check out the
playlist at the link below for this list
we’re taking a look at story and
character arcs we want to see
fully-realized as this Netflix original
series approaches its exit from office
if you’re not caught up consider this
your spoiler alert number 10 fan
favorite supporting characters I can’t
help you the way you want me to in
addition to boasting household names
like Robin Wright and Kevin Spacey house
of cards showcased its supporting
players standouts included Maher saleh
ali as Remy Danton Molly Parker as
Jackie sharp and Gerald McRaney as
Raymond tusk it’d be great to see all of
these characters get a proper send-off
in the show’s final eight episodes
whether they play major roles or simply
make guest appearances do you plan on
hanging this over my head every time I
try to oppose you one character we would
especially love to say goodbye to is
Freddy Hays since actor Reggie caffee
who won an Emmy for the role sadly
passed away in February 2018 listen up
boy he lied to you the truth is you
ain’t never gonna be President
number 9 an explanation for what
happened to Kathy Durant
this is just an Secretary of State
Katherine Durant to appear in front of
the House Judiciary Committee towards
the end of season five Secretary of
State Cathy Durant threatens to throw a
monkey wrench into Frank’s grand plan by
testifying before a special committee
when trying to reason with her doesn’t
pan out
Frank decides that Cathy needs to take a
fall no literally he pushes her down the
when we last saw Cathy she was
unconscious and being rushed to the
hospital did she survive the fall
will she regain consciousness even if
she does will Cathy have any
recollection of Frank pushing her these
are all questions that need to be
answered in the final season here’s
hoping the writers don’t just sweep
Cathy under the rug the secretary is
fallen number eight Jane Davis in a
larger role it’s been a long time
introduced in season five
Jane Davis acts as the deputy Under
Secretary of Commerce for international
trade she quickly asserted herself as a
crafty and manipulative figure who isn’t
Jane’s backstory and motivations could
still use fleshing out however from what
we’ve seen so far
Jane seems like an ideal right-hand
woman what remains unclear is just how
far Jane is willing to go for the White
House is she mainly looking out for her
own best interests or will she be loyal
to a fault like Doug when you have an
oscar-nominated actress like Patricia
Clarkson give her characters some really
meaty material to sink her teeth into
I’ll be operating out of the region it’s
where my strength lies number seven Lee
Ann Harvey’s fate it was my own decision
to chief of staff would send a strong
message to the Congress intimation Lee
Ann just couldn’t catch a break in the
season five finale after being promoted
to Claire’s chief of staff
she is almost immediately stripped of
that position and finds herself out of a
job on her way to meet Doug Lee Ann’s
vehicle gets run off the road as Frank
watches from his laptop Frank claims
that you don’t have to watch the whole
movie to know how it ends in the realm
of television however nobody is truly
dead until the audience gets a good look
at their body in Lee Ann’s case we never
see her corpse after the crash although
it is strongly suggested that she died
the credits haven’t necessarily rolled
on Lee Ann’s story yet number six a
worthy enemy for Claire who are you to
me the Underwood’s ascension to the
White House wouldn’t have been nearly as
interesting without a few formidable
foes standing in their way now that
claire has reached the pinnacle of power
it’d be fun to see her go up against an
enemy who could potentially jeopardize
everything
she’s worked for as for their
motivations Claire’s opponent could
either be a politician who wants to
further their own career or a
whistleblower who wants the Underwood’s
to pay for their crimes whether it’s
someone who’s been on the show for a
while or an entirely new character this
rival could give house of cards the
spark it needs to reach the home stretch
in glory opportunity has presented
itself and I’m trying to take advantage
of it number five
setting up a Doug Stamper spin-off my
name is to you while you were still
president house of cards might be ending
but it’s been reported that a spin-off
series is in the works at Netflix while
the details aren’t set in stone yet Doug
Stamper seems like the prime candidate
to take center stage dedicating his life
to Frank Doug has emerged as one of the
show’s most interesting and disturbing
characters with the Underwood’s out of
the picture though Doug’s purpose in
life might take on a whole new meaning I
think I’m gonna just sit here for a
while
it had been nothing short of fascinating
to see how Doug functions without his
supreme overlords even if the spin-off
ultimately doesn’t materialize we are
still eager to see what Doug’s fate will
be after all Clair still hasn’t pardoned
him but you have to pardon me first and
at the right time Doug
number four Conway making a comeback
whereas most of the characters on house
of cards are just power-hungry will
Conway emerges as a candidate who could
actually potentially make the country a
better place despite the occasional
outburst he’s still an infinitely more
honest politician than Frank or Claire
yet good morals and values do not always
get you ahead in Washington through
manipulation the Underwood’s are able to
secure their places in the White House
Conway is forced to concede leaving both
him and his family in an uncertain place
tell me the president
I hope so sir can Conway make a
political comeback does his presidential
loss also mean the end of his marriage
there’s still a fair deal that can be
done with him in season six I’ll be
declining well I’m so sorry I wanted to
wish you number three the Underwood’s
getting their just desserts they may
sometimes be more anti-heroes than
straight-up villains but it would still
be very necessary and satisfying to see
Frank and Claire finally pay for their
crimes some of our favorite characters
have died because of their corruption
including but not limited to Peter Russo
Rachel Posner and Tom Yates Zoe Barnes
death in particular left behind a trail
of tragedy
although Tom hammerschmidt has fought to
bring her killer to justice
did you kill Zoe Barnes I’m not prepared
to answer that question
seeing as how freedom of the press and
fake news are such hot topics right now
it’d be appropriate of house of cards
ended with the Washington Herald
exposing the Underwood’s for the
monsters they are we don’t submit to
we make the terror number to Claire
underwood taking her turn as president
my turn season 5 gave us a taste of what
Claire underwood can do as Acting
President of the United States
she also established that she’s well
aware of the audience’s presence raising
an iron fist to the fourth wall but
don’t take it personally
it’s how I feel about most everybody now
that Frank’s out of the way
Claire can take her turn as
commander-in-chief in some respects mrs.
Underwood is even more ruthless and
two-faced than her husband which means
things are really just getting started
I Claire Hale Underwood do solemnly
swear the final episodes could not only
explore how similar Claire is to Frank
but also how their leadership methods
differ with Claire in charge we can
expect something along the lines of Lady
Macbeth goes to Washington we’re just
getting started before we get to our top
pick here is an honorable mention
I want the Nexus and you’re trying to
send me a Lada number one a fitting exit
for Frank Underwood
how could you facing sexual misconduct
accusations actor Kevin Spacey was fired
from house of cards
Netflix claims that Spacey won’t have
any involvement in the final season
although it wouldn’t be entirely
surprising if he made a brief cameo in
any case the writers have a lot of loose
ends to tie up concerning Frank am I
supposed to say thank you know
but you will have to pardon me for
starters did claire pardon Frank if not
what does that mean for their marriage
well Frank be in prison the whole season
or Willie just get killed off it might
actually be poetic if someone strangled
Frank just as he put a dying dog out of
its misery back in the show’s first
scene okay well done team
