House Of Cards: 10 Predictions For Season 3

Earlier in the week, Netflix "accidentally" let the entire third season of House of Cards slip out of onto the internet streaming site early. A careless administration error, or a deliberate marketing ploy? "This is Washington, there are leaks" quipped the official Twitter account after the erroneous episodes had been taken down. Netflix don't need to hype the show of course. Unlike normal TV networks, they don't need to get as many bums on seats as they can come February 27th in order to brag about huge viewing numbers, sell the surrounding advertising space, and proclaim it a huge hit. The release date to them is little more than a mark on the calendar and if they did want to release some or all of it early there's no reason for them not to. Of course, that didn't stop the internet's hype machine, and now anticipation for Season 3 is now so juicy and meaty that Frank himself might as well be pulling it off a bone with his teeth. With the Underwoods in the White House and the rest of the supporting cast still struggling to pick up the debris of their lives from the final moments of the last episode, there's almost nothing you can rule out at this point. But, with a little creative thinking and some careful examination of what the show's already given away, there's a few events that look impossible to avoid.
