Wait. What happened to Community? When did the GAF consensus do a 180? The show is brilliant. What happened between the last episode (Christmas) and the next one that hasn't aired yet?

We don't have Costanza spamming everything about the show and gifs of it. Besides, the Community thread is fairly active.

Just saw a commercial for Chuck after the Saints/Seahawks games. I am sure it will be on Youtube by tomorrow, but it actually has new footage. Including what I can best describe as Sarah dressed as Miranda from Mass Effect 2.

Don't let it get you down, guys! Chuck is such a good Monday cure that there should be enough spillover to get you through this week. We're just one week away, and besides, you can "enjoy" re-watching The Cape tonight!

EXCLUSIVE: Chuck Episode 4.16 Title, Spoilers
January 10, 2011

We’ve got some exclusive Chuck spoilers to brighten up your Monday, Chucksters! According to our source, episode 4.16 is titled “Chuck vs. the First Mate” and includes
some drama for Casey.

The episode revolves around a new recurring guest star, Vivian, a young woman studying history at Oxford. She thinks her father is an oil magnate, but in reality he’s a criminal mastermind. Could she be connected to Volkoff?

Meanwhile, the National Clandestine Service has their eye on Casey and they aren’t taking no for an answer.

A few more spoilers from SpoilerTV. Just some casting/character information that expands what was in CB's post.

Major Recurring Guest Star Alert! Vivian, who's beautiful, charming & intelligent. She's an Oxford University Historian and is perhaps mistaken when she thinks her fathers an oil tycoon. coughcriminalmastermindcough. Intruigingly, the actress needs to be able to ride horses.
Also featuring is Boris, an international assissin. Apparently we're supposed to be thinking 'Clive Owen' when we see him.

Brief spoilers from E!Online:
@sheebs08 (via Twitter): So the Chuck promo showed a new look for Sarah. Is she channeling her inner Miranda Lawson?!

I’ll let executive producer Chris Fedak take this one: “Two words: Evil Sarah.” Oooh, did you just get the shivers, too? Could Yvonne Strahovski actually get more badass? The mind boggles!

- Sepinwall takes a look at the benefits of NBC's woes over the past few years:
But here's the thing: of all the broadcast networks, NBC is still the one I watch the most each week. They have what I'd consider both the best comedy to air on broadcast TV (and really, on all of TV) in "Parks and Recreation," and the best broadcast drama in "Friday Night Lights." (Yes, that's technically a DirecTV show that NBC reruns these days, but it originated on NBC.) They have a whole bunch of other shows I feel passionately about, from "Community" to "Chuck" to "30 Rock," others I like to varying degrees ("Parenthood," latter-day "The Office"), and when their new shows don't work, it's usually in some memorable way. ("Outlaw" gave me more laughs than several actual sitcoms that debuted this fall.)

And most of those shows get ratings that would get them canceled in a heartbeat on any other network. The thing that's made NBC an industry joke has also made it a place where a niche show like "Community" can hang around for at least two full seasons (and hopefully more), where there's now a better-than-even chance that "Chuck" might stick around for a FIFTH season, where they recognized the brilliance of "Friday Night Lights" enough to seek out that DirecTV deal that kept the show in existence for three extra years, where "30 Rock" will likely be around for as long as Tina Fey wants to keep doing it.

- EW.com lists Chuck as being on "Shaky Ground" for renewal (No surprise here. Chuck's always on the bubble, eh?)

- Schwartz and Fedak on the Sepinwall/Fienberg podcast this week
It's been a while since we had a guest interview on the Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, and since I'm still in California for the TV critics' press tour, Dan and I decided to do the latest one in person. So Thursday afternoon we broke away from a series of TCA field trips in order to visit the office of "Chuck" co-creator Josh Schwartz, who joined us and co-creator Chris Fedak for a long, strange, at times informative, at times hopefully funny interview as "Chuck" prepares to return with new episodes on Monday. If you're a "Chuck" fan, hopefully you'll enjoy it, but it's also entirely possible that it has destroyed our relationship with the show. We really don't know.

In addition, Dan and I shared more anecdotes from the second half of press tour, and also offer a review of "Big Love" season 5. The run-down:
Press Tour Rundown - 00:00:00 - 00:20:40
A candid conversation with Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak - 00:20:40 - 01:09:20
A review of the "Big Love" S. 5 premiere - 01:09:45 - 01:21:10
Click to expand...
EDIT: ChuckTV.net with a written breakdown of what Schwartz and Fedak said in the podcast. *minor spoilers*

Sixth post in a row for me on this thread. Might be a new record!

Episode 4.17 will be titled "Chuck vs. The First Bank of Evil"

Good to see that Bank of America has put so much money for in-show advertising that they got their own title.

Just a reminder that NBC is playing a rerun of Chuck versus the Leftovers tonight at 8pm.

Only a couple of days until we get a new episode! From the Sepinwall podcast, it sounds like things are really going to really start moving over the next three weeks in episodes 11-13.

Good to see a couple Chuck commercials amidst all of their advertising for The Cape last night, too.

Seeing Scott Krinsky in a tuxedo is just weird. He's well-cast, because even at an award show he looks like the creepy guy :p

Pumped for new Chuck tonight. Glad to see NBC has more faith in it than earlier in the season. They're actually advertising it about as much as their other shows now.
