Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for the Season 6 finale of Netflix's House of Cards.
At the start of the final season of Netflix's House of Cards, there's a noticeable character missing, as Frank Underwood, the former fictional President of the United States, dies off-screen in what his wife Claire (Robin Wright) describes to the press as an accidental overdose (but reveals to the audience was murder).
All of the narrative upheavals are due to Kevin Spacey's off-screen behavior after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, eventually leading to his removal from the series entirely while Season 6 was still in production. Despite Spacey's abrupt exit, the writers do give closure to Frank's story, which isn't revealed until the final minutes of episode 8, in a face-off featuring two of Frank's closest allies. Here's how it goes down.

14 Remakes That Are Better Than the Original
Every week, it seems, more remakes get announced, and every week people are eager to complain about them. Has Hollywood finally run out of ideas? How could they dare besmirch a timeless classic like
? And why do they even bother, since remakes always blow?
Except, they don't always blow. Some of the best movies ever made are remakes, and sometimes they're so good that audiences forget that the original film(s) even existed. It's important to keep Hollywood in context, and remind ourselves that the remake phenomenon is nothing new and, frankly, nothing to worry about. Some of them will be good, and quite a few of them will stink out loud, but some of them will surpass the original. That's why filmmakers keep trying.
