On any other drama with Emmy aspirations, you might read some deeper meaning in the fact that the hour’s basically bookended by Frank's graveyard pee and Doug's syringe whiskey-motif: relief?-but House of Cards isn’t any other drama with Emmy aspirations. How, um, interesting that the two most memorable moments of House of Cards' third season premiere involve the emission of yellow liquids. Spoilers ahead don't scroll farther than you've watched. If you've enjoy this well-crafted yet ridiculous show in the past, these 13 episodes are worth a watch. ![]() It never reaches the dark, dramatic heights of previous seasons, but it's also a little more focused and intelligent than they were.

Well, I mean my cat, Lil' Tiger with me, I'm going to need Gatorade I'm going to need some guns, I don't know. That's a tough question! Chris, that's a tough question! Jeez. One final Walking Dead question: What would be essential for you, Kim, to survive a zombie apocalypse? Essential for me, Kim? Um…wow. I'm able to separate it out psychologically. Hollow Man didn't bother me, this didn't bother me. I don't really like horror things, but to film them it doesn't bother me. Yeah, we're going to have sexy zombies! All I know is there are more zombies that need killing.ĭo roles like that freak you out? Are you easily rattled by horror movies? I don't really watch horror movies because I do get rattled by it, like, I'll have a nightmare or something. I wonder if the zombies in LA will look different because of all the plastic surgery.

And then I got to couple that with this sort of private side to her where she sort of walked the lines of what's professionally ethical to start sleeping with this other journalist/author.
