When Episode 8 started, I was honestly a bit uncertain if I was even still watching the same show, or if somehow Netflix had f**ked up. Even by House of Cards standards, this was an absurd opening. A giant statue of a crow looms over a crowd, who carry flaming torches and are clad in hooded robes, yelling: "CROW OF ELYSIUM! WE HONOUR THEE!"

It's an incredibly odd sight to behold, though it does at least start to make sense when Frank reveals himself to be among the crowd. It turns out most of the people there are extremely influential, and can help him become President.

It's basically like when Homer discovers the Stonecutters.
