I don't like when a TV show kills off major characters just for shock value.

I agree but that is not what they did here.

[Go To Girl]

I always crave ribs when I watch House of Cards

She was a problem and needed to go. 

 

Seriously though she was annoying the sh*t out of me.  Great kill Frank!

I liked Mara so I'm still a little "annoyed" as to why they killed her off...but I'm only 5 episodes or so in.

3 episodes in and I miss Peter Russo.  

 

 

[Goondal]

The killed her off because she had served her purpose (helping him obtain the Vice Presidency).  She was no longer useful and becoming dangerous to Frank.  Same reason he killed Russo.

 

In order for her to stay they would have had to make her completely drop her investigation of Frank and forget about it and go back to writing the stories he wanted written.  At the same time they would have had to make Frank believe that she was no longer a threat.  Neither would have been believable.

It's wasn't just for shock value it made absolute sense.  In the original series her death was the 1st season's finale.  Underwood used her to get VP, once he had it he didn't need her anymore.

Yep.  Upon re-watching, you can see Frank throughout the episode contemplating how to get rid of her.  When he was talking to the rib guy, that was when he decided to do the quick kill over something more drawn out.
