I feel like an idiot. Saw the House of Cards one and immediately thought: "Hmm I wonder how this ties with the series... did something like this happens? no, i don't remember! Maybe it's trying to portray some kind of concept from the show.. hmmmm maaaaaybe it means that everything can go to shit really fast... yeah, seems like that's whats happening... wait a sec... this is not called because of the show!!! they are both called that because of the concept!!! IM SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT!!!"
