Really though, Season 2 is just perfection from beginning to end. The cast and crew were all at the top of their game all the way through. Just perfection.

I just have nothing else in that time slot after Lonestar tanked.

Great way of describing it. Part of the reason why versus Santa Claus might be my favorite episode is that it has a little bit of everything - drama, humor, action, plus the added punch of Sarah taking out the Fulcrum agent at the end. Great stuff, and the weight, as you put it, of season 2 hasn't really been matched aside from a couple moments at the back end of season 3. While I enjoy goofy, lightweight Chuck, the show works best for me when that's a stark contrast to the more serious spy stuff we occasionally get. I hope they get back to that soon.aswedc said:

Colonel is the best episode of the series, but Tom Sawyer is my favorite. Just ludicrous enough, and totally off the charts in nerdiness. Colonel is where the story, humor, action, and romance and drama all came together for a perfect 45 minutes.Solo said:

Couple items:
- Mekenna Melvin audio interview with TV Fangirls
- TVbytheNumbers is giving away a few things over on their site
Also, picking up on what RevoDS posted yesterday and looking at the A18-49 ratings for the Mon-Thu shows on NBC week-by-week:
There might be some errors in here (not sure I copied all of them correctly), but it gives a general idea of what's going on.
So, taking a closer look at this and how it relates to Chuck...
- I figure that Chase, Undercovers, and The Apprentice are done.
- The Thursday night comedies aren't relevant to Chuck's fate. If one of them gets canned, they'll just replace it with another half hour comedy.
- They'll probably stick with The Event and L&O LA because they've spent a lot of money on them and they need something in the lineup (i.e. they can't cancel everything). Biggest Loser has consistently been one of their higher rated shows, so they're not going to touch that.
Where does that leave Chuck? Probably on the bubble like before with all options still on the table (just run the 13 episodes and cancel it, order a back 6 or 9 eps, run these 13 episodes and then bring it back for S5). It's good to have a few other shows in line for cancelation before Chuck, but I still don't have a feel for how much they're going to shake up their lineup in the short term and the long term. Chuck's certainly in a much better position than it was after the first week of ratings, but it's still somewhat precarious.

Full synopsis is out for 4.07, "Chuck vs. the First Fight."
Potentially could spoil a major detail I assume we will learn either this week or next. Read at your own risk.
From that summary I am not really sure if I am looking forward to it, although
(speculation just based off of TV previews)

I wonder if the fight will have something to do with whatever causes the gun standoff between Sarah and Chuck's mom in 4.06. Actual, non-idiotic drama could happen.

Potential major spoiler. We really dont know. She could be a double agent, etc. Hell, she could be Volkoff and be the big bad.RevoDS said:

RevoDS said:
Dammit. I completely missed that detail, but I thought you were talking about what I wrote and not the synopsis so I went back to look. I sort of wished I hadn't either :/
Going to edit to put a warning before it.
I'm not sure which I prefer. On the one hand, I'd hate to have that part spoiled for real. On the other, such a double (triple?) twist would put M. Night Shyamalan to shame...which isn't much better.PhoncipleBone said:

Yikes. Guess I'll do my typical copy-pasta to the OP and not read it.

Tomorrow's episode is new. Honestly, I am not even sure when the first episode break is supposed to be (maybe after Thanksgiving?).
WascallyWabbit said:
The TV forecast dashboard widget says it's new.
Edit:
It'll probably depend on whether or not it gets a back nine. If it doesn't, 8 straight weeks of new episodes would bring us to mid-december, and perhaps NBC will decide not to air any reruns and premiere something new in January. If it gets a back nine, then yeah, we should probably expect reruns at some point next month.

I thought it mentioned it was in two weeks. I wonder if many others got confused and the ratings will suffer.

Pretty sure they showed a clip from the episode which would air in 2 weeks, something along the lines of "And in two weeks.. *short clip*".PhoncipleBone said:I thought it mentioned it was in two weeks. I wonder if many others got confused and the ratings will suffer.
My brother thought the same thing as you.

Yeah, it was fairly confusing the way they handled the preview. Someone could have easily taken it as the next new episode being in two weeks, or at best it sounded like they were saying that the next episode would be filler and we'd get some real stuff in two weeks.
Either way, not great when you're scrounging for every viewer you can get. Nice job, NBC.
