House of Cards, Season 1, episode 1, 9:33
Title: Washington
Description: The moment it all begins. Here, Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) understands that his bid for Secretary of State, a crucial step on his path to an eventual Presidency, has failed. He is trapped in the corner of the room, which you can see behind his back. At the left, two lamps cast a warm light on a portrait of George Washington, whose footsteps he’ll now be unable to follow. It’s a surprisingly delicate portrayal of a violent breaking point.

Hey Noah, that another good one. You can’t believe how much we laughing and being afraid at the same time. A real new interpretation of the democratic theater.

Or perhaps another from Trevor Goodchild: “Learn from your mistakes, so that one day you can repeat them precisely.”

Also very good – finally a bold statement against the “fail often to succeed sooner. Goodchild seems to have a lot of potential
