The House Of Cards "Ive got a question about ..." thread

Im fecked if Im going to venture into the main thread with this question as Im sure it's full of spoilers about season 3 All questions about the show for those who dont want the new season spoiled on them can go here. Let's see how it goes.

Please use spoiler tags on every single question and answer, especially on matters relating to season 3.

Question:

Im currently rewatching seasons one and two in preperation for the latest and one thing has always bugged me about season one. How come Peter Russo doesnt recognize Rachel Posner when she seduces him to the hotel room, when she was the prostitute he was with when he was pulled over by the cops earlier that season?!

A plothole that always annoyed me as there's simply no way

he was that wasted on the first night that he'd forget her completely.

Or perhaps:

He simply has very little regard for women. If, while under the influence of alcohol, he sees women as just another beer, is he really going to look at the label on the bottle or just drink it? He was an alcoholic and if he slept with many, many, prostitutes I doubt he cared what they looked like.

Just finished episode 6 of season 3 and I have a question

Were the Underwoods sleeping in separate beds at the end of the last season or is that just something they have done in this season?

Seemed like a bit of a leap to take.

Then again so was

Underwood killing Zoe.

The show changed hugely for me then, from a realistic political Drama to over the top hokum.

Just this season. It's referred to specifically in one of the episodes. Either 6 or one before it.

But was it ever supposed to be a realistic drama? Or another view that it spawns - who knows just how far people will go to achieve their goals?

Question for season 3

I read an article today about Doug Stamper. At the end of season 2 was he taking Rachel to safety or was he bringing her off to kill her?
