You get all that?
The duo weighed in on the many twists and turns, as well as teasing a potential season 6.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First season in charge, and you guys didnt hold back.
Since we ended on such a pitch, we really felt like there was a lot we owed.
Frankly, I feel like were all living it a bit right now.
At what point did you decide to end the season with Claire as president?
He has played a role in placing her there and defined a new power beyond the power.
So she gets to 10, and he all of a sudden says theres an 11 [laughs].
Lets talk about Frank.
His resignation might have been the biggest shocker of the season, considering all hes done to get there.
The thing that was great is that the show has always been a bit of a meditation about power.
Its a place hes more comfortable with and is actually in a sense more powerful at.
So there was something great about him deciding to go back there with a bigger prize in mind.
What that looks like and what thats like is going to be an interesting question for the show.
Thats the premise of the show, and they are just wrestling with that relationship.
Lets step back before his resignation.
What would happen if all three branches of government are basically pulled into the chaos of the Underwoods making?
What will democracy be able to sustain?
Although, thats nothing new.GIBSON:[Laughs] Its a dangerous job.
Lets start with Tom.
And that was ultimately what Claire had to face.
Is it possible to have a real human love relationship in the context of what she needed to accomplish?
So part of that trajectory was doing something like this.
Weasked Neveif its possible LeAnn survived since we didnt see her body.
She wasnt sure how to answer that.
And as the Underwoods would say, Poor Doug.
He survives the season, but hes agreed to take the fall for Zoes murder.
It was one of the big original sins.GIBSON:Any interesting show has a really good memory.
The fifth season ofHouse of Cardsis now streaming on Netflix.
