Netflix dealt another hand of Cards on Feb. 14, unveiling all 13 new episodes of the acclaimed original series at once. Some things about the drama haven’t changed: Frank Underwood is as ruthless as ever, his wife Claire is still devastatingly stylish and the politics are still really, really dirty. But there are some new elements in the series’ sophomore season. If you haven’t yet pressed PLAY on Season 2, here are five (semi-spoilery) tidbits to know while you watch.

Good stuff to know here.

I am officially an old man now apparently, because there was just no way I could miss too much…

“House of Cards” still has a winning hand as Netflix has voted in favor of a third-season renewal for the political drama.

The early renewal for a third installment, confirmed by a Netflix spokesperson, comes ahead of the Valentine’s Day rollout of its second season on the streaming service.

“House of Cards” was originally given a two-season commitment, so the news makes good on Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos’ indication last fall that he wanted to extend the show’s life past that.

Good news for the future of the on-demand TV experience. This is the future people and I’m…

Chad tells me that he looks forward to reading any of my Spider-Man related articles just so he can see if I’ve found new and creative ways to express my hatred of the new series. I’ll try not to disappoint.

In this latest round of trailers, this new Spider-Man series continues to feel like a parody of a good Spider-Man series. We had a decent Spider-Man series with Tobey Maguire, but this Andrew Garfield Spider-Man just feels completely off. Some have lauded it as being closer to the feel of the comics, but I think we have proven over the years that a straight adaptation from comic book to…

I’ve gotta say this is pretty good marketing despite the fact that I am not at all looking forward to this film. Not in the slightest. But releasing part one of a two part trailer, the second part which airs during the Superbowl seems like pretty great thinking.

Unfortunately nothing in this trailer makes me change my mind at all. Check it out:

Break out the celebratory tin!

Bones has officially been renewed for a 10th season by Fox, the network announced on Wednesday.

And that wasn’t the only good news Fox had in store for fans of David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel‘s long-running drama: it’s moving back to Monday night! Beginning March 10, Bones will return to its old timeslot, Monday at 8 p.m. Kitchen Nightmares is set to take over Bones’ current timeslot, Fridays at 8 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 28.

Oh, geez guys! Enough already. This show is way past the point of being any good. It makes me sad and upset because this show used to…

- We already knew Jaimie Alexander would be showing up as Sif in the 15th episode of the show. But what was also revealed today is that the character Lorelai from the Walt Simonson run of Thor will be appearing in her episode. She will be played by Elena Satine, who played Mera on Smallville.

- Confirmed in two clips – first by name, and then we actually saw him in action – is that “Mike Peterson,” the character played by J. August Richards, is indeed now the Marvel Comics character Deathlok. A cyborg, Deathlok first appeared in Marvel Comics 40 years ago, and had a popular series in the…

The Lady Sif is making a trip to Midgard, and her journey will lead her straight to our favorite Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 

That’s right, True Believers, Jaimie Alexander will make a special guest appearance as Sif in an upcoming episode of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” reprising her role from Marvel’s “Thor” and “Thor: The Dark World”!

Last seen in “Thor: The Dark World”—now the third largest grossing Marvel Studios film—Sif has come to Earth with a very specific mission. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you just what brings her to our neck of the woods just yet.

Hey, that’s good news! It…

I will continue to maintain that if you don’t like this show we probably can’t be friends. I really don’t get what everybody doesn’t like about this show. It’s really fantastic and it’s just getting better and better. This week’s episode was great where Colson gets to deal with what’s been going on in his past and dig up what’s going on with Skye’s past.

And keep your eyes open for a special Marvel guest start in this trailer!

USA Today reports (via Indiewire) that CW—aka the network that cancelled the show—has worked out a deal with Thomas to bring the Neptune universe to the web in the form of a spinoff web series for the network’s CW Seed site. Right now details are sketchy, it could be anywhere between six to eight episodes lasting between five and ten minutes apiece.

Who would this series follow? Well, apparently Thomas was cagey with the network in the meetings leading up to the decision with CW head honcho Mark Pedowitz saying of the show creator, “He talked a little bit but it wasn’t locked in; he talked…
