Featuring a surprise cameo by Aaron Paul.
The cast of Netflix's House of Cards and creator Beau Willimon hosted a Twitter-wide Q&A session this afternoon, answering fan questions tagged #AskHOC. This results were, predictably, spectacular. (Warning: spoilers to follow.)
Willimon explained the meaning behind the show's iconic logo.
@ASZorin @HouseofCards @KevinSpacey Upside down American Flag is an official signal of distress. #AskHOC

Robin Wright (Claire Underwood) dished on the Second Lady's impeccable style and her favorite designers.
@sheisL Dolce, Prada, Akris and many more! #AskHOC

When a fan asked if he was jealous that Cashew "stole the show," Kevin Spacey (Frank Underwood) threatened to demote his adorable guinea pig costar to craft services.
@DayaDiazOITNB @RealRobinWright @oczimmer @jimmisimpson @sakinajaff No. Because I eat her in S3. #AskHOC

But Cashew's roommate, Jimmi Simpson (Gavin Orsay), was quick to come to his defense.
@DreamGirlRelle Cashew wasn't harmed in any way. I would've busted heads if he felt a single squeeze. Promise. #AskHOC

Michael Kelly (Douglas Stamper) offered a refreshingly out-of-character explanation for his angst over Rachel Posner.

And Rachel Brosnahan (Rachel Posner) addressed the weirdness of playing a character that shares her name.
@BaileyDvorak @HouseofCards @BeauWillimon A little…but it's easy for everyone to remember my name! #AskHOC

When a fan asked which character he'd like to take to jail with him, Sebastian Arcelus (Lucas Goodwin) pledged revenge against Frank. (Can you blame him?)
@Not_Ansel #AskHOC Frank. So I could beat his ass. (I love you, @KevinSpacey!)

Though most of the cast did their best to avoid spoilers, Kate Mara (Zoe Barnes) couldn't resist.
@HouseofCards WHY did you do that horrible thing to Zoe? #AskHOC

Then — just when we least expected it — Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul jumped in and won the whole thing.
@KevinSpacey Was the epic two knocks your choice or was it always in the script? Also, do you like pizza? #AskHOC
