Chuck Holiday Rewatch Part 1: Chuck versus the Crown Vic
Yup, I used the same picture as a few posts above because I'm feeling lazy tonight.

New TV Guide with the Supernatural cover has a short article on Chuck and the fans. I have not found it online yet, but it is on newsstands.

I saw a scan of the TV Guide article late last week. I'll see if I can dig it up tomorrow. It wasn't anything new, but it's good to see the show getting a little press.

There seemed to be a lil something on all the shows that were part of the TV Guide poll. I only glanced at it in the grocery store tonight. Almost bought it just for the Supernatural article, but figured I can find the article online.Cornballer said:

Soooo....
- Chuck being a big bitch about Sarah maybe wanting to leave with Bryce, and Casey's giving him a hard time about it.
- Morgan stalking Anna, and he's paranoid about her cheating on him.
- Oh no, this is another one with Sarah being all sad and angry, too - she throws the knife at the alarm clock.
- Kinda scary how Sarah and Chuck both look a fair bit younger - Casey on the other hand
- Director Graham is still around. Forgot about that guy.
- Buy More Holiday party planning! Big Mike was still kinda intimidating back then. Morgan and Chuck's hair is soooo awful.
- Was this the origin of the Charles Carmichael alias? I can't remember when it first came up. Chuck loses 100k at roulette.
- Lots of Casey-Chuck time which is good, but it's all Casey clowning Chuck.
- Morgan acting like an idiot at lunch with Anna's parents. He hadn't really proved his worth yet and was kind of annoying as a character.
- Chuck and Sarah fighting about "the kiss".
- Good moment: Sarah talks about wanting a normal life, Casey: "The choice we made to protect something bigger than ourselves is the right choice. Hard as that is for you to remember sometimes."
- Chuck flashes on the counterfeit plates, Casey doesn't believe him, but Sarah doesn't doubt him at all. Casey eventually shows up.
- Chuck uses his skills to take out the missle into Casey's car. Rocking some bad CGI with the missle this week. Explosion looks lovely, though.
- Big Mike wearing the Santa Suit! Morgan and Anna make up at the end.
- Sarah shows up and Chuck gives her a new alarm clock. Handshake at the end as they declare themselves friends.
- Casey gets the call about the new Intersect and Beckman tells him it's almost time to "take care of Bartowski."
- Also, I forgot that they used Modern English's "I Melt With You" at the end, so that never ended up on the Chuck Soundtrack.
Anyway, decent S1 episode, but the show was still figuring itself out at this point. Lots of good stuff for Casey this week, and it's fun looking back at the ways in which the characters have changed (Morgan is so much better now) and in what ways they're still in some of the same patterns (the Chuck/Sarah relationship drama is very reminiscent of early S3).

It is amazing just how far Morgan has come as a character. He went from being the slightly annoying but sometimes fun sidekick to being one of the most reliable and needed comic relief characters on the show. Morgan now is one of the most important parts for me. On his own he is ok, but when he gets partnered with nearly any other character magic happens.

Fun to a certain degree. He got better in season 2, but adding him to the spy team just elevated the characters as a whole.Medalion said:

Morgan seemed more like a twerp and a nuisance during the first part of the series whereas now he seems more like someone that I'd want to hang out with. He's always been funny, but he's made the shift from being a Buy Moron akin to Jeff and Lester to someone much more likeable.

I miss Chuck so much. 
Also, can anyone explain what's happening to Sarah at the end of Chuck vs Phase Three in the dream sequence? Does she end up standing on her toes to reach Chuck's level? Step on a stool? :lol
Didn't think she was that short.
It happens here, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPyzYFbpUEw

Stravhovski is pretty tall (5'9" or so) but Levi is 6'3" or 6'4".

Rachel Bilson lookes like a kid next to Chuck.

Strahovski was #1 in BuddyTV's hottest 100 women on TV, too. You have to click through the other 99 to get to her, and it isn't a great picture. Sarah Lancaster is on the list, as well.

Shaw was annoying as a team member, but I liked him (well, liked to hate him) as a villain. That being said, there are probably a few more worthy ones out there. Still good to see Chuck get a little ink in the year end awards.

Any press for Chuck is good, but all in all I thought Shaw was kind of lame.
But when Chuck shot him was probably one of the best moments in the series

Writer Phil Klemmer has come back to Chuck after a brief stint on Undercovers. ChuckTV.net with more details over on their podcast. He wrote Subway, Role Models, Sandworm, Undercover Lover, Tom Sawyer, and a few other episodes.

Yet another positive for NBC cratering. Hell, Matt Miller, the guy that went off to do Human Target, is also floundering. Wonder if he will come back as well.

I can only imagine the awkwardness of the meeting between him and Fedak/Schwartz where he asked to come back.
Klemmer: Well...that other show failed. Can I come back?
Fedak: Why'd you leave in the first place?
Klemmer: I...I thought we were supposed to be cancelled!
Schwartz: Look who's cancelled now.
Good news though, vs the Mask aside his episodes have all been pretty good.
gdt5016 said:
Ha, I'll tell you one thing... they did a really good job at getting people to hate him by the end. I think even though he was miscast a bit, by the end he was a pretty decent villain. I don't watch enough of the other tv shows like Fringe (shows that actually have Villains), but in the end Shaw ended up being a pretty decent baddie (although not very smart in the final 2 episodes).

I did really like Shaw as a villain though. But best villain? NOPE.

- NBC isn't going to show Chuck repeats on 12/20 and 12/27.
Sounds like Sing Off is doing really well, so they're going to stick with that and some other junk. We'll (well, I'll) still be doing a Chuck versus Santa Claus rewatch next week, and Chuck will be back with new episodes January 17th.

Couple random news items:
- Chuck gets a decent bump when DVR numbers are factored in.
- Obscure guest character might be returning later this season.

Last sighting was when Casey blindsided him with the microwave, right? Visual evidence.

From ChuckTV.net:
Latest word is that NBC is going back to its plan to marathon Chuck repeats on December 27...for now. It's not clear if the January 3 repeat is off the schedule or if it'll simply be another episode that airs since Fear of Death is already part of the planned marathon.
Will NBC make up its mind?
Edit: As it turns out, Fear of Death isn't part of the marathon and appears to be on for January 3 still. So the current planned schedule would be:
December 27
-8PM: Chuck versus the Anniversary
-9PM: Chuck versus the Aisle of Terror
-10PM: Chuck versus the First Fight
January 3
-8PM: Chuck versus the Fear of Death

Started watching around the beginning of Season 3, I think. Just started on the first season via Netflix. Wish I'd paid attention at the beginning.

NBC needs to start paying me since I'm advetising Chuck for them. I post about it on my Twitter every Monday and I just came out of a TF2 server where I just kept writing "Chuck - Mondays at 8 on NBC" for 3 hours.
Reading the replies were hilarious and most people trolled me, but I did it so much that some ended up changing their usernames to "[insert offensive thing here] Mondays at 8 on NBC".
Oh well, at least I got the idea of tuning in to NBC at 8 on Monday in-grained into their heads.

Or it could have the opposite effect. People are so annoyed at being told to tune in at 8pm on Mondays on NBC that they just wont do it. The side effect of too much love being shown something.Domino Theory said:NBC needs to start paying me since I'm advetising Chuck for them.

Just look at what happened with lots of other shows, most recently Community.I would like Community a lot more if it weren't for some people.PhoncipleBone said:Or it could have the opposite effect.

Thus proving the example of too much fanatical devotion and hype can hurt something. But I know what you mean. Whedonites have hurt any chances of me actually really liking most of Joss Whedon's stuff. His writing doesnt help either, but I did find Dr. Horrible brilliant.czartim said:

If your liking of something is mandated by other people's preferences you have a problem. Be it liking what everyone likes, disliking what everyone likes or not liking something as much because of the fans/haters. Form your own damn opinion without taking fandom into consideration and only form hype around your own unbiased research.

That is how it should be, but people are easily swayed one way or another by too much hype. Certain people that you dont like dolling on and on about how wonderful something is unfortunately paints a bad picture in your mind of something, no matter how good it is. It is like hearing hype and hype and hype to only see it for yourself and be let down. I try to go into nearly everything with an open mind, but sometimes overly defensive and overzealous fans can sour my experience of something just by association.Otrebor Nightmarecoat said:
