I never watched the most recent season and now I don't want to. I'm still kind of bummed about it.

Good - I'm glad they're finishing up the story. And last season really did end in a way that it does lend to not seeing Frank again - even if it's that he want to jail. I feel like that was what was left - if he did go to jail, she agreed to pardon him. Then she stopped taking his calls leaving that plot point up in the air. I feel like they could easily take that path.

or kill him off as the article says.

Oh good. I felt bad for Robin Wright that her character was getting more of a lead and it was abruptly canceled because of her dick coworker. She made the show, anyway.

I felt like it was going to be her turn as the lead anyway. I was hoping she was going to get more than one season.

Me too. I really only watched for her the last few seasons. It has been nice to see strong women on TV lately, and even though Claire isn't the most, uh.. moral? character, she was still at the forefront and taking the lead in a show that is now ending because of another man being a terrible POS.
