New House of Cards teaser leaves us hungry for more

House of Cards is characteristic of change; most notably in how we watch television. The series gave way to binge watching, where all episodes were simply dumped online, ready for our streaming wants. Seasons one and two got Frank and Claire Underwood to the White House via various methods of chicanery, and has brought them to the brink. With season three teasers, we've already seen a strained relationship between the two, and the latest installment gives us a bit more insight to the growing divide in (fake) Washington D.C.

The teaser is over two minutes long, but isn't packed with a lot of suspense. In fact, we don't even get a look at faces. Dark hallways, phone calls, and terse talk are in play this time around.

Two things can be gleaned from this teaser, though. First, a clock tracking the President resets to all zeros, suggesting it's midnight wherever he is. That may have a dual meaning: when the series hits Netflix on February 27, as well as the President being out of time. Past teasers have hinted Frank has little control over his Presidency.

Second, we hear lots of conversation, but nothing that makes much sense. Claire and Frank are talking, privately, but we get no insight on the topic of discussion. When she does meet with Frank, it's at The White House, and he asks if she's hungry.

Frank likens much of his power grab to hunger, often celebrating (or preparing) with a rack of ribs from Freddy's (he mentioned being 'hungry' when discussing his thirst for power in the very first episode). His asking if Claire is hungry probably signals they're once again going for someone's jugular.

Whatever is going on, we'll find out soon. House of Cards Season 3 is only a week away.
