Has anyone started this? I'm only 5 minutes into the first episode, lol. It's pretty good so far. 

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

I was hoping Claire would start talking to the camera, too (her opening speech was such a tease). Otherwise, I enjoyed the first episode, which is all I've watched so far. Didn't get the part about the waterfalls, though.

I watched the season 5 finale last night.  Struck me as a transition season that sets the stage for season 6 which promises to be explosive.  I wasn't disappointed by S5 but at times it slipped into Shonda Rhimes territory which arguably serves other series better than HOC.  Slightly disappointed that a few of the more interesting characters got the chop instead of a couple of the regulars who've become dead weight.  Loved how S5 focused on the actions and motives of the handlers in the WH.  Campbell Scott & Patricia Clarkson are welcome additions to the cast.

And...Reed Birney as VP Donald Blythe threw a barb at Claire that had viewers across the globe high-fiving in unison.  It was EPIC!

Bigots, business owners, corporate board members, lobbyists, and trust fund babies are voters too!
