20 Most Paused TV Moments Of 2016
11. Lucas Shoots Frank Underwood - House Of Cards
It was kind of inevitable that the negative karma Frank Underwood has been steadily building up for the last four seasons of House Of Cards would come back on him, which it did in grand fashion during a talk with some protesters.
The moment he gets shot by Lucas – who had a long, bitter history with Frank – was stunning because of how unexpected it was, and the loss of Frank’s bodyguard Meechum in the same moment is also a shocker. House Of Cards is a show that knows how to pull the rug out from under the audience, and it genuinely seemed like Frank could have died in that scene.
He got to live another day, for now at least.
