This Week In WTF?!: Kevin Spacey

INTRO EDIT: I had no clue Kevin Spacey was currently under investigation for other allegations aside from Anthony Rapp...geez what's wrong with this man?

I don't want to write this, I don't want to write this because I could be possibly entertaining an alleged child predator and I wanna keep that kind of drama off this blog. For those of you who don't know, Kevin Spacey was outed as sexual harassing Anthony Rapp who was then a minor (14 years old) many years ago. The allegation surfaced and Kevin Spacey outed himself and gay, stated he had no memory of the incident but apologized anyway and then was booted from "House Of Cards" resulting in Robin Wright's non-interesting character Claire taking the helm as lead actress on the show and basically transforming a pretty awesome political drama into an incoherent mess. Well, its not even the New Year and we're closing this year with some WHAT THE F*CKERY from Mr. Spacey himself via a cryptic, slightly insane Youtube video (that no doubt caused both his lawyers and agent to have a brain aneurysm) titled "Let Me Be Frank" (a nod to his character on "House Of Cards") that features Mr. Spacey in the guise of his Frank Underwood character possibly discussing the allegations against him (Kevin Spacey) or possibly hinting at another Season Of "House Of Cards"...here's where it gets messy. Strap on your tinfoil hats ya'll, I'm about to offer several theories of what I think is going on here. Let's dive in.

Let's Talk About "House Of Cards" Season 6...

Let's get "House Of Cards" out of the way because this is probably the most pressing bit of business I need to discuss. Man what a sh*tshow this was and I'm not saying that because Robin Wright is a bad actress or anything, I'm saying this because the writing sucked this season. Granted their backs were up against a wall due to Kevin Spacey's indiscretions but that really isn't an excuse for what was presented to us this Season. To summarize my issues and then go in depth a little bit, the season was disjointed, boring and difficult to track with, character motivations were difficult to gauge, things were foreshadowed that had no pay off and there were leaps and bounds in logic that were simply stunning and of course there was the obvious virtue signaling. The show butchered a lot of characters and did exactly what I expected it'd do and I that was Claire gets away with everything. Now let's dive in to this nonsense.
