K-PAX, another movie I'd love to see on Blu-ray.

Well, Leonard Part 6 made it out, so anything's possible.

Absolutely. Anything is possible. After all, we see Blu-ray miracles here on a monthly basis, titles getting the Blu-ray treatment that we never expected.

They better not ruin the rest of the series now. They could just replace the ****ing actor and keep it business as usual. Hell, Spartacus did that and it's still one of my favorite series.

I’m about half way through this season, and it’s such a great show. Such a terrible shame all the cast and crew are subject to one person’s poor lack of judgement.
With that said, the unknown foreshadowing in this show, based on the hindsight of Spacey’s inexcusable behavior, is kind of eerie.
I wonder if the production team would be willing to include Spacey in the final season if he agrees to work for free, or better have his entire salary/producer revenue donated to a victims of assault charity? I get that he is toxic right now, but it still seems like cutting off ones nose to spite the face. As I mentioned, a lot of: cast, crew, fans and revenues rise or fall with the success of this show.

The show was already planned to end especially since most people hated the last few seasons which were pretty awful. It definitely isn’t that popular anymore. The 8 episode ending with Robin Wright leading is already set. No way in hell they would reverse that decision and let Spacey work on the show. He was fired, and it’s not a huge loss anyway considering how bad his acting was in S5. He was clearly phoning it in.

I saw HOC S05 on Blu late last year, and was impressed by how good this season was - excellent. Yes, it wasn't as intense as past seasons, but it was still well-done & compelling.

That being said, I think the show should end with S06 (if they're even making a S06). I do think it can survive without KS - and, based on the storyline at the end of S05, it seems like his wife is poised to "take over" and he's in the sidelines (at least temporarliy). I do think Robin Wright & the supporting cast can carry a season. And, I can easily see KS being written off the show without a problem.

That also being said, if great TV shows last too long, they eventually run out of steam. I think HOS should definitely quit while it's ahead.

We need to see Frank Underwood finally get what's coming to him, not just disappear quickly.

Well said. I sure hope the supporting cast can carry the load, because Frank Underwood IS the show. He is great this season! Absolutely despicable and his 4th wall breaks are so epic. I’m kind of curious what the first two episodes of S6 they shot, before the firing, were about.
Such a shame that everyone associated with this show: cast, crew and fans get slighted because of one person’s senseless acts.
The writers are really going to have to work overtime to give this show a great send offf minus the person the makes the show.
