The article seems okay - but not the Twitter source...

Why should we give that scum clicks.

Don't remove any old episodes til I'm done watching it!
I know now he's a total shit but it's still a great show.

Have the first episode Frank's funeral and go from there.

It could be better without Spacey, if they kill off his character and all of the evil stuff he's done comes to light.

Will be weird, though, since he spends so much of the show talking to the camera.

It ends with Frank's assassination. Which Claire arranged.

Time to drag out the DVDs and watch it again.

I really think they're throwing out the baby with the bathwater on this one. They have an opportunity to make a really good show with a strong female lead and a built in audience. Now all the staff and crew (and viewers who like the show) have to loose out due to one person being an ass.

Everything past season 2 was no good (IMO) and the producers were going to end it after 6 anyway.

Having to completed re-write an entire season to remove Frank would not have probably been too difficult at this point in the game.

with him. Disgusting to look at. I read they will probably do a spin off with Wright.

Part of what HOC a success was the duo aspect....that they were a corrupt team.

Spacey may have a piece of the action, though, and if so, he may not agree. Darn it. I love this series.

House of Cards is set up to pay royalties to the principles for every viewing. If Netflix were to decide to remove all these shows, it means they don't want to pay Spacey any more royalties for his work. Unfortunately it also means the other actors and crew will also forfeit, and that would hardly be fair to them. (They could sue if Netflix did that anyway.)

Usually for shows like this that don't have theatrical releases, the only way to recuperate the sunk costs is to play the reruns for several years otherwise they'll never make the money back that they put into making it. The membership fees that you and others pay help to cover those costs, and finance new productions of other shows.

So I'm pretty sure that Netflix will let this show continue as reruns for many years, even though they've decided to stop making new shows. House of Cards is still a big seller and one of the main reasons people keep paying for Netflix memberships.

Allen & Bob whatsisname from Hogan's Heroes (which plays around the world in syndication), their shows continue to be shown.

"Justice" swings a double-edged sword sometimes.

Now there are a bunch of people looking for work.

I voted to let it stand because the tweets didn't show up on my page. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for them to load. Fuck. Sorry guys.

I strongly urge the poster to edit the post.

may as well say all the criminal claims about Hilary Clinton should be accepted as stated.

It was just like the story of the Emperor wearing no clothes.

Somebody had to be the first to say something.

The entertainment business is not like any other. You could always leave a certain company and work for a different one in the same field. NOT that one should ever have to do that, just using it as an example. But in the entertainment business, you'd likely lose your career in the past by bringing out any charges against anyone. usually because the worst offenders had SO much power over others, even those disgusted by this behavior would keep THEIR mouths shut.

I think Corey Feldman is also about to burn it to the ground.

Good.

Let the chips fall where they may

Cost everyone millions of dollars to cop a feel. What's wrong with him? What's wrong with all these men? Drunk with power?

I'm sick there won't be any further House of Cards, and the "Gore" won't be released.

This reminds me of those Greek Tragedies. Where there is a hero who is wonderful in so many respects, but has this tragic flaw that cannot be overcome.

Spacey is one of the best actors around. What a waste that his career is likely permanently damaged, if not over.

That's the point.

No loss with Mel Gibson or Bill Cosby. But this is a loss to us all. Like Picasso (if you like abstract art), the domestic abuser.

Harvey Weinstein's. MGM movies, Polanski and other works by people with possible criminal or unsavory pasts.

I'm torn as to whether to separate the works of art from the artist. Like Picasso, a domestic abuser. People have no problem buying his art.

He was a despicable sexual deviant. Yet I still see him on tv when flipping channels, pretending to be a moral comedic character.

His peers knew he was a scumbag and yet still awarded him their industry's highest honor.

And with today's social media, stories get out faster and it's easier to gauge the pulse of the American moviegoer. The entertainment industry backlash against Spacey isn't happening because he did a bad thing. They don't give a crap about the bad thing. Half of them do the bad thing on a nearly daily basis. It's happening because the general public found out about the bad thing and turned against him. He's no longer marketable.
