in this show，Underwood is a singularity. all rules don't apply to him. even the rule between reality and fiction： ONLY he can talk to the audience.

what happened in the very end of this episode is， Claire became ANOTHER singularity. (she looked at the camera)

i think in the next season， she will directly talk to the audience too. there is no more leading role or supporting role， there are only THEM, and this,i believe is also the meaning of the post of this season： Two Singularities.

（by the way，the post did a good job of misleading the audience，it made us think that this season was going to be Frank vs Claire.）

i see a lot of his early stuffs in this film.

for example,Michael Madsen killing that black dude with the song"Now You're All Alone"，the song described the victim's situation accurately，it reminds me of Michael Madsen's "ear-cutting scene" in "Reservoir Dogs"，the song "stuck in middle with you"also described the victim's situation accurately.

also,in the end,Walton Goggins reading that letter,and Samuel L. Jackson and him joking about that letter,it reminds me of "pulp fiction"where Mia telling that "catch-up joke" after the "disastrous date". and the song "There Won't Be Many Coming Home"was also an accurate description of the ending，just like the song played in the end of "Reservoir Dogs".

there is also the"people-hiding-under-the-floor twist"，just like in "inglourious basterds". and a lot of shots remind me of"django unchained"，for example the scene where Channing Tatum sitting on the chair talking to Bruce Dern， was just like the scene where Samuel L. Jackson talking to Leonardo DiCaprio in the library.

a lot of examples like above,it is as if Quentin want to compress all that he was good at into a very small space. it worked very well,that is basically how i feel about this film.

by the way,the music was GREAT,i think the word i should use to describe Ennio Morricone's music in this film is"evil". comparing to the typical "Ennio Morricone western film"，this one is so so special.
