Casey possibly having his own team? chuck and sarah getting married... the chances are good that Volkoff will be gone for good by the time the season ends.. smells like a build up to a series finale

Guess I'm not too much of a fan of this episode. The Jeff/Lester subplot was hamfisted and unnecessary.

It was fairly obvious something was going to push Vivian towards not trusting the CIA.

The only thing I'm actually interested at this point is what Casey is up to. I can't believe I actually laughed when Morgan called him "Case Logic" because I have a few of those cd booklets.

Wow, this show has no fucking logic anymore. It's essentially built around putting Sarah in costumes.

When did the show become like this? I swear I used to like it. :(

Did you even watch the episode. She spent two minutes MAX trying out wedding dresses. And what do you mean that the show has no logic anymore?


The highlight of yesterday's ep, for me, was when Chuck had Sarah's panythose on his head before the robbery. There needs to be a gif of that here.

Nope, I have quite a few Case Logic binders actually... most of them are at least 10 years old and falling apart.

So I finally got around to watching the episode.

Two best parts were Sarah and Chuck robbing the bank, and Sarah going into full bridezilla mode. Well, not really bridezilla, but super excited bride. Also, dat dress...

Sorry if this was already posted, I'm in the middle of the episode and don't want to read through the thread and risk being spoiled.

Anyone catch the Lost reference? When Volkoff's daughter holds up the card in her father's office, a ten digit number is visible. I thought it was a phone number for the set or something, so I paused the frame trying to read it. 4815162342.

4 8 15 16 23 42.

Awesome.

I don't think it's out yet. I've seen pics of the magazine, but no scans/images yet beyond the one that you posted.

I liked the episode quite a bit. The twist was obvious but I liked them playing up the parallels between Vivian and Chuck and then turning the tables on Chuck from early seasons with him being on the opposite end of the table with the whole CIA bit. I can't help but think that the Chuck of earlier seasons would've pushed the envelope a lot more with Beckham about Volkoff whereas he crumbled like a wet paper bag in this episode.

The Matrix-esque bank robbery was quite amusing and the banter was fantastic. Yvonne was freaking hot in that outfit.

A couple quick items:

- I'm not sure if this was posted before, but Ugo.com compiled a pretty extensive list of Chuck Geek References
- Warner Bros. just announced that Chuck will be at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo on Saturday, March 1.
Co-creator/executive producer Chris Fedak will be on hand, along with fan favorites from the cast, including series stars Joshua Gomez, Ryan McPartlin, Vik Sahay and Scott Krinsky.

Maureen Ryan is heading up the panel.

Chuck bumped off the schedule on March 28th for yet another presidential event. I'll update the schedule in the OP. As of now we're only going to get Chuck on 3/14 and 3/21, then presumably it'll be back on all of April.
Click to expand...
I'm not sure that makes much sense. May is a sweeps month, so it has to air at least 3 weeks in it. Episode 17 just aired, and 18/19 will air this month. That leaves 5 episodes to air during April and May. 3 of them to May, leaves two for April. I bet we're going to see two more weeks of repeats next month.

Good point. They do need to get something together for May sweeps. TVbtN is guessing Chuck will be bumped at least once more. I wonder how much of the scheduling will revolve around The Event based on how it does next Monday. We shall see....

- Some spoilers for 4.19 from EW.com
‘CHUCK’ MUUURDER MYSTERY!
Chuck co-creator Chris Fedak stopped short of mentioning the name Agatha Christie when talking to me about episode 19, “Chuck versus the Muuuder,” airing March 21. But even if he had followed through, I’d be saying this: This episode is going to be awesome.

“We’ve always wanted to do a murder mystery, so we’re working on an episode right now where something terrible happens to someone down in Castle and Chuck and Co. are given the Sherlockian job of figuring out who the murder is,” Fedak tells EW exclusively. “So we’re working on our own spy version of a chamber piece.”

While all this is going on in Castle, Fedak said that upstairs, Buy More would be experiencing a “big crazy” story of their own. “We’re having a lot of fun with that one right now.”

Can you contain yourself? I couldn’t. In fact, I begged for more details, like would it be in black and white like all the classic murder mysteries of TV history?

“It’s in color right now, but if you see it in black and white, you should take no credit for that,” he said…hopefully writing me a check as we speak.

The Event's inevitable cancellation.

And yes, by watching only the commercials, the only conclusion I can come up with is that The Event described in the title is the cancellation.

One I'm quite certain I do not want to be a part of. Goodbye, cruel world. Wait, what's this? You say Chuck is back in a week? Well, I suppose that's worth sticking around for.

I can already picture The Onion's headlines whenever Chuck ends up cancelled...

A couple notes from E!Online:
Lauren: Chuck intel, por favor!
Zachary Levi was gracious enough to give us the goods on how much trouble Lauren Cohan will be causing. “We’re going to get some super secret weapon component,” he tells us. “Then [Vivian] shows up unexpectedly and all hell breaks loose and Bob’s your uncle.” Sidenote, when was the last time you heard someone use the phrase “Bob’s your uncle?” Keep being you, Zach.

Heather_r_Flynn: How does a season five for Chuck look?
Always on the bubble, never above it. Beyond it? Off it? Whatever, we’re counting on a season five of Chuck, and the cast seems very optimistic about it as well. “I think [the chances] are pretty good,” Yvonne Strahovski says. “I will be surprised if we don’t get a season five.” Adam Baldwin dittos his costar’s hopeful attitude. “I feel cautiously optimistic. Until you hear the go sign, I just remain cautiously optimistic.” Give us that go sign already, NBC!

I also added the official summary for 4.19 to the OP.

More spoilers from EW:
Chuck scoop pretty, pretty please with chocolate sauce on top (just not the way Morgan and Alex used it…ewww). — Ann

Since you brought up couples, what about some news on one of our favorite TV couples: Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski)? When Gary Cole reprises his role as Sarah’s papa, expect not only to learn more about Sarah’s backstory, but also to witness the pair seeing new sides of each other. “I think when you decide to take the leap, and you’re engaged to be married, you’re going to learn more about the person you’ve decided to spend the rest of your life with, but you often learn what they’re like in the most grueling of life situations,” co-creator Chris Fedak says. “And that isn’t disarming a bomb of prepping for a mission — it’s preparing yourself for a wedding.”

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it. I'm especially happy given that a year ago I was unemployed and had been for a long, long time.

Looks like it....
TVbtN said:
The Event returned from hiatus in worse ratings shape than when it left. Its 1.4 adults 18-49 rating was down 26 percent from the 1.9 rating for its previous episode in late November. Clearly a victory for “out of sight, out of mind’ over “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Fans of The Event will cue the “what did they expect! It was off the air for over 3 months and they hardly promoted the return” music in the comments, while Chuck fans try to restrain themselves from smirking.
