![]() I do not, as a general rule, like to fact-check TV shows, because as long as these characters and plot machinations obey the laws of the House of Cards internal universe, I don’t care if whatever they do “could never happen” in real life. Who thought anyone would have any interest in Rachel’s life of southwestern semi-squalor? Who thought we would need to hear about this plan for her shiny new life that we have always known will never come to pass? Who thought, given all the ratcheting-up of the plot that is happening in other quarters - Frank and Claire’s marriage, the election, Heather’s moral compromise, Jackie and Remy’s affair - that what viewers would really want to spend nearly half the season finale watching was Doug And Rachel’s All-American Murder Road Trip? THE POINT IS THERE IS NO FREAKING POINT AT ALL. You may be thinking, Gee, seems like we spent an awful lot of time this season, and during this critical season finale, playing Rachelquest! What was the point of all this time if the end result was just that Rachel was out of the picture? OH WAIT, IT WAS POINTLESS.
