Yeah, awesome thread Cornballer (much like the other Chuck threads)

So looking forward to this. I hope S4 would be better than S3 in every aspect. But I read somewhere that
Shaw is coming back

I don't think that is true. At least I haven't seen it pop up on any of the major sites that list spoilers.
Although, shocking as it is, I honestly don't think I would mind. Shaw worked out fairly well as a villain.

So, those Jeff & Lester Halo:Reach shorts? I managed to capture them via rtmpdump on my Mac & I'm editing them into 1 video. I'm going to upload it on mediafire.com when I'm finished :D
 
I know it is the season 4 thread, but I finally got around to watching the bonus features on the season 3 release, funny stuff. Makes me wish it was next Monday already.

A couple of quick rules of thumb, junior:

This is the perfect place to make that post The previous season thread, for all intents and purposes, is dead. You don't post in it.

Some major shows will have a LTTP thread, where everything is a spoiler. Others won't. If you want to discuss previous seasons of a show, this is usually the place to do it.

Major Rule for Official Threads (OT): If it has been aired on the East Coast of the USA, it is fair game (so keep off if you are in California or something).

Any and all information that hasn't aired can be considered spoilers. Use the
tags appropriately in that case. Be smart.

Cornballer runs a tight ship, and will tell you if you have done goofed in one of his threads.


Also, this has nothing to do with TV threads, but be careful with gaming side. If you are going to get banned, that is most likely where it will happen.

I would say there are two exceptions to this rule (at least in the past threads).

1. Episode Titles
2. Guest Stars, but only the actor/actress. Their actual role we hide with spoilers. The only exception being if they are a major character returning from a previous airing. And I think the only two we ever actually kept hidden behind tags were Scott Bakula and Matthew Bomer.

I would say Brandon Routh would also fit in there.

Very cool. Don't know how I missed it in the old thread.
I think it was posted right about at the exact moment as you or someone else posted so it kind of got scrolled by.

Thanks, guys. I think that covers it. :D

Speaking of Season 3, I just finished rewatching Chuck versus the Role Models

Hart to Hart intro is great. Morgan regarding scantily clad Sarah in the kitchen: "You're dating a leggy valkrie who has an aversion to clothing." Fred Willard and Swoosie Kurtz are awesome. Casey training Morgan is good stuff, too. "I'm not letting you shoot the tiger. They are endangered and majestic." Gee, this guy helping out Ellie and Awesome in Africa seems super nice - glad he's around...oh wait. "Doctor Super Fantastic White Person" :lol Safari Edition Ellie is pretty hawt. Overall, it's a pretty entertaining standalone episode that also gets Ellie and Awesome back to LA. Good stuff and continues the win streak in 3.5

Thanks for the tips, now I know and knowing is half the battle :)

Regarding rewatches, I went with Chuck Versus the Beard and Chuck Versus the Honeymooners tonight. Those episodes just reaffirm how truly awesome Morgan is. I must have rewatched the scene where Morgan makes his kung fu sound about 5 times.
 
Director news.

Star Trek Alum Jonathan Frakes to Direct Chuck

Jonathan Frakes, best known as Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s Number One, William Riker, has carved out a second career for himself as a director. Per this interview with StarTrek.com, he’ll be directing an episode of Chuck this season (likely episode 8 or 9), which brings our Star Trek tally to three: Frakes, Director/Producer Robert Duncan McNeill, and Scott Bakula.
 
Seeing this thread on the front page does my heart good. I'm glad we don't have to wait four more months for Chuck to return. Can't wait!
 
In my rewatch, 'Chuck vs. the Beard' was last night. What a fantastic episode.

"So that's the sound of liberty."

Can't wait for Monday!!!
 
Continuing my rewatch: Chuck versus the Tooth

Chuck is having crazy dreams involving Shaw. Christopher Lloyd as his psychiatrist is very understated in the episode, but he does a good job. Anna Wu shows up and gets the wind treatment on the way into the Buy More. Man, everyone gets taken out with tranq darts this episode - Casey gets Morgan at the symphony, the Zamibians shoot the staff and Merlin's rebellion. I love seeing Morgan stepping up and leaving Anna cold. So much good stuff from Morgan in S3. Sarah professes her love for Bartowski at the end and Chuck lies about his intersect-caused dream issues. Ellie getting duped by the Ring agent and Chuck's still having bad dreams. Lots of setup for the final three episodes this week, but it's still a fun episode that covers some ground and has a lot of good humor. Solid episode.



In other news, the media just finished up a conference call with Schwartz, Fedak, and Joshua Gomez, so there should be some writeups on that later today.

Just finished my season 2 rewatch. Such a strong season as a whole.

Though, I still think the second to last episode works better as a season/series finale. The wedding episode is still aces.

I said is many times after S2, but I'll say it again: vs the General is not only bar none the best episode of the series, but it also would have been a perfect series finale if you cut out the final scene with Chevy Chase.
 
- ChuckTV with a transcription of the Fedak/Gomez conference call today with media. *spoilers*
Chuck co-creator and executive producer Chris Fedak and star Joshua Gomez joined entertainment reporters in a conference call to discuss the new season today. Naturally they didn’t reveal much by way of spoilers, but they did tease some interesting developments for season 4 and were generally just excited about being back for another round.

vs the Colonel. Great episode, though, one of my favorites.

With Chuck no longer part of the CIA, what’s happening with Sarah & Casey?

Chris: “Sarah & Casey are still with the CIA. When we open season 4, they’re traveling the world, working on missions. They’re still the best CIA/NSA spy team in the world. The person they’re focusing on is a man by the name of Alexi Valkoff who is our Big Bad this season.”

Technically spoilers, but nothing bad.
This is the first that I had heard of them having a season long bad guy. I assume he must be involved with Chuck's mom's disappearance some how. Hopefully they do a better job building him up then they did The Ring.

And I am still going to point out the dissonance between your ranting and raving about this and sporting a Lost avatar at the time.

Oh no, you've got me! Did I say something that wasn't true? Did my LOLost avatar get to you that much? Vs the General is the best episode of the series, and had the show been canned after S2, it would have made a perfect finale. True and truer.

Also, I wasn't sporting a LOST avatar save between February and May of this year. When last I checked, Chuck S2 aired 2008-2009. Ruh roh!
