I know it's only June, but can we all agree that this is/will be the most poorly written scene of the year?
Underwood apparently risked everything and pushed the secretary of state down a flight of 5 (FIVE) steps, betting that she would fall into a coma, all in order to prevent her from testifying about...something the next day. If she didn't fall into a coma or die, he couldn't have walked down the stairs to "finish the job" because we saw on screen that the bottom of the stairs was on security cam (the top wasn't).
Also, is Robin Wright autistic? Has a single person ever had such a massively negative impact on the quality of a show before?
>the 'gravity' of the situation
Was that intentional?
