The Lord Just Peeked His Head Outta The Clouds and Leaked ‘House of Cards’ Season 3 for 30 minutes

The Verge just informed us that Netflix leaked House of Cards season 3 briefly, and I mean briefly, streamed on Netflix earlier today for about 30 minutes, two weeks before its February 27 release date. And we are fucking pissed. How the hell did we miss this? We didn’t even know something like this could even happen. Should we be refreshing every second now? This was like missing Jesus making his big comeback because you were at that measly thing called a “job.” Can we all just shake our fists in unison please?

Update: Netflix tells CNBC that “House of Cards” season 3 was briefly posted due to a “bug in the system”; full release coming Feb. 27.

The leak may not have been intentional, but it was enough for some weasel (or best person ever) to jot down season 3’s chapter summaries. According to Netflix, the season will still stream on its original release date in a couple weeks, but we’re too busy obsessing over these summaries to give a shit. Thank you anonymous person for not having a life- we’ll buy you a beer later.
