Biggest Giveaway? House of Cards Season 5 Trailer


Netflix just uploaded the trailer for Season 5 of House of Cards. If you haven't watched it already, here you go.

 In this blog, I will try to address as many segments/scenes from the trailer as I can and I'll keep updating as I find new things worth mentioning.

 The first thing that caught my attention was the woman in this photo who's holding the 'Abolish the Electoral College' sign:


That could be a clue to the election result. The most probable case in which someone would hold that sign is if their favorite candidate won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote. Something identical to what Hilary Clinton's supporters did. If this is true, then it means that Governor Conway won the popular vote but lost the election to President Underwood.

 Another possible clue is this screen:

President Underwood needs 15 electoral votes to win the election whereas Governor Conway needs 25. The two states yet to declare a result are Pennsylvania which has 20 electoral votes and Ohio which has 18. Conway needs to win both the states to become President and that's a bit tough. PA being a democrat stronghold-swing-ish state and Ohio being the most important swing state, there's a good chance that Underwood could have 275 seats at the end of the election results.

 Honestly, it was shocking to see Underwood with 255 votes. His own party hates him. Conway is a charming young moderate from New York who served in the army. The surprising 255 votes could mean that there's an ongoing crisis in the US and the people will be hesitant to switch presidents during such a time.

 The 52 episodes of the first four seasons being a pack of cards will come crashing down in season 5 as predicted by a Reddit user.


Let me know what you think of the trailer and comment with your predictions for Season 5 of this amazing TV series.

Game of Thrones | Bronn of House Reyne Theory

I'm sure that some of you are aware of this fan theory. There are quite a few blogs that try to explain Bronn's connection to House Reyne but they fail to highlight one particular moment that most of us mistook for Bronn's selfishness. I'd like to mention that if you watch all of Bronn's segments from GoT, you won't be 100% convinced that he could be the only surviving member of House Reyne.  Season 7 is closing in and I'm going to talk about this underrated fan fiction. It's better than 90% of ' [Insert Name]  is a Targaryen' theories out there. Before I begin with the actual theory, let me refresh the famous Lannister song - The Rains of Castamere. The song is about the failed rebellion of House Reyne of Castamere against their Lannister overlords. The Lords that fought for House Reyne were killed when the mines that they were hiding in were locked and flooded on Tywin's command. The song is often used for intimidation. Let'

House of Cards | Season 5 Trailer Breakdown

I'm sure you all have watched the Season 5 trailer of House of Cards by now. In this blog post, I will try to make a detailed analysis of the trailer highlighting the important details. I have already mentioned the 2016 Election spoiler in my previous blog post. Check it out if you haven't already. So, in the scene below, we see Frank snatch what looks like a newspaper from the hands of a congressman. This could be from the first episode where Hammerschmidt's story on Frank is supposed to gain the heat. The above screenshot is an interesting one. Frank won New York, which is supposed to be Conway's state. I know New York is a democratic stronghold but it had to be a shock that the people wouldn't want their own governor to be President. Maybe we'll get an insight into gerrymandering. Or maybe Conway losing New York has something to do with the bloody (inky?) mishap later in the trailer and the funeral scene prior to this one: The bloody misha

Game of Thrones | Season 7 Trailer 2 Breakdown

Image
Game of Thrones just dropped the second trailer for season 7. Here's my breakdown; there are a few revealing scenes and it certainly feeds some fan fiction. Sansa looks like she just killed Littlefinger as she walks away from the Weirwood tree. We hear Littlefinger tell her how he's always fighting battles everywhere in Westeros inside of his mind. I honestly don't think that Sansa is interested in any place but Winterfell. Those words sound like they could be his last words.  The first point of my breakdown worries me the most. It deserves to be separate from the rest of the points. It's Bran crossing the wall. We all know what happens next.  1. We see the people of King's Landing welcome a group of spearmen. Point to note: Their spears have black ends and yellow/red bodies. Given the fact that no one in King's Landing looked happy or emotionally alive when Cersei took the throne, this is probably not the Lannister army coming back from war. More
