House of Cards: A Series Review

"House of Cards gave us, in season 1, Kevin Spacey as vengeful South
Carolina US Congressional Democrat with a drawl, Robin Wright as his
elegant and perhaps even more 'take no prisoners' wife, and Kate Mara
as a lion cub reporter with grown up claws for what would be the Wash-
ington Post. They bounce off one another, and off other DC luminaries,
like atoms in a nuclear reactor. There is heat, light, acceleration and
destruction. There is also unmitigated, if hard won, joy. The joy of
power."

yt - The James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture 2013: Kevin Spacey

"From his unique perspective as a director, producer and actor working across
the world on stage and screen, mainstream networks and the internet, Kevin
Spacey considers the changes sweeping across our industry and the opport-
unities for innovation and creativity for those who live to tell stories and engage
audiences."

plos - Francis 'Frank' J. Underwood: A Textbook Case of Antisocial
Personality Disorder

"I always like to take the opportunity to explain misunderstood psychiatric
concepts or diagnoses, and to clarify when a psychiatric term is used
incorrectly or prone to misinterpretation. In today's blog, I aim to do both
of these things.

We have to stay curious about ASPD - about how the disorder develops, how
to detect it, how to manage it - as our societies pay for its consequences on
many levels, economically, socially, and emotionally.

And when someone with ASPD ends up in a position of unparalleled power?
Well, who knows what the consequences could be."

plos - Claire Underwood - Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

"However, she rarely shows emotion - her smiles seem fake, her laugh empty,
and her expressions are bland. She is more restrained and guarded than Frank,
and she does not reveal her inner thoughts to the viewer the way
Frank does so it is much harder to know what could be going on in her mind."
