Well yeah. The GRETAs are superficial to begin with, but what I was saying was that they chose the one that really didn't do a whole lot in their episode besides get knocked out.PhoncipleBone said:They picked the two best GRETAs. Better than Munn and Glau by a country mile.
TVbtN said:NBCs Chuck fell a tenth of a point vs. its last new episode 2 weeks ago to a series low 1.6 adults 18-49 rating (damn the sun!). The Event slid 14% vs. its unimpressive return last week to a series/season low 1.2 adults 18-49 rating. Harrys Law slipped a tenth of a point as well, falling to a 1.7 rating, tieing its season/series low.
RevoDS said:I liked yesterday's episode, it was a good launching pad for the ending streak of the season. It featured some of the bigger plot holes we've seen in a while though, which is surprising since it was written by Phil Klemmer, who was there in the early seasons.
For example, how can the government just flip a switch to remove the Intersect from the GRETAs when it was very problematic back in season 2 when Chuck wanted it out. As far as I know, the work of Chuck's dad was destroyed along with the first Intersect 2.0 in Ring. And the episode adds insult to injury by having someone say "Intersect code is impossible to crack".
I also wish the two teams had been in competition for just a little longer than a single episode. The CIA invested millions to expand Castle, only to bury the new team after a single failed mission?
WascallyWabbit said:question: has anyone gone back and re-watched the first season of Chuck recently? if so how does it hold up?
I've thought about buying the first season to complete my set, but i just remember it being kinda "meh", in fact i didn't watch a few first eps from the 2nd season cuz i didn't really care about it
So, dunno if it's worth it to buy, i can barely even remember the first season
Question: Any word on a renewal for Chuck yet? I hope to God that it comes back next season! Archana
Ausiello: Lets put it this way: Boss men Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak are in no way, shape or form being subtle in expressing to NBC their expectation that the show will return. How unsubtle? The title of the May 16 season finale is Chuck vs. The Cliffhanger.
Yeah, it is odd to see them so confident they will get renewed. Guess that means it wont get renewed then.RevoDS said:This year is really peculiar. From the outside, the show's prospects seem lower than ever. Every single TV site has it on the bubble at best. Yet the show's cast and crew all seem completely confident that they'll get another season, which isn't something they used to do in prior seasons.
Anyway, I chuckled (pun semi-intended) reading that title. That seems rather ballsy. (and PS to Corn, your season is longer than oursThe season finale is actually episode 4.24, not 4.25 which doesn't exist)
I'm an optimist!RevoDS said:(and PS to Corn, your season is longer than oursThe season finale is actually episode 4.24, not 4.25 which doesn't exist)

PhoncipleBone said:But with so much on NBC tanking, and Chuck staying rather consistent, it might just get a final 13 and be done with it.
Kabuki Waq said:I dont like like how sarah has become a normal sitcom love interest now. I liked it better when she was a bit cold in the earlier seasons. Everyone is too lovey dovey now.
Sad to say but i think the show needs to end, character arcs seem to be done plots points are feeling stretched.
CrankyJay said:So why did Chuck know that "sea water" would disable the bomb but not the other intersects if they were going off of the same intel?
Quite simple, the other two didn't bother trying to remove the detonator. Chuck did, and it caused him to flash a second time, this time telling him sea water would disable it.CrankyJay said:So why did Chuck know that "sea water" would disable the bomb but not the other intersects if they were going off of the same intel?
BankaiZaraki said:I actually agree with you. Whatever happened to the badass super spy Sarah? I say let her/Chuck get married this season and just be done with the show.

WascallyWabbit said:has anyone pointed out that they were trying to play final fantasy 2 on a super nintendo?
edit: i'm an idiot, totally forgot they numbered em different back then! oh well, it's too bad sarah didn't get a chance to play it, cuz 2/4 was one of my favs of all time
Medalion said:Ep was fun, if only to see Isaiah kickin ass
They really need Ellie acting all sexy more often, I am getting a bit bored with Sarah sometimes
It's a living.PounchEnvy said:I'm probably lttp with this but damn the weird extra from the Nerd Herd has been in a ton of shit. I mean I knew that he's been in a lot of recent stuff but movies and shows I've watched before and loved have him randomly popping up.
Cornballer said:Chuck was featured at a panel at C2E2 yesterday. Maureen Ryan hosted the panel discussion.
- Here's a 7:40 minute recap/preview video that they rolled (cam footage shot off the screen) *spoilers*
Fun stuff. Use spoiler tags if you'd like to discuss the preview portion of the vid.
EDIT: The new stuff starts at about 6:30 in the vid.
jey_16 said:that was a great episode.....kind of felt a bit more like the Chuck of old and a nice change of pace
the way those ratings are going though, who knows what will happen but i'm happy that we got 4 seasons!

Chuck versus the Muuurder
WHEN A SPY IS MURDERED IN CASTLE, ITS UP TO CHUCK TO FIGURE OUT WHO DONE IT ROBIN GIVENS GUEST STARS Chuck (Zachary Levi) is put in charge of a top-priority mission, but his leadership skills are pushed to the limit when there is a murder in Castle. Meanwhile, Awesome (Ryan McPartlin) takes on a mission of his own when Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) finds an alarming new hobby. Elsewhere, Morgans (Joshua Gomez) leadership is also tested when his Buy More troops wage war against Large Mart. Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Krinsky, Vik Sahay, Mark Christopher Lawrence and Bonita Friedericy also star.
The original idea with Captain Awesome was that he'd be revealed to be a Russian spy or some kind of operative, but the producers enjoyed Ryan McPartlin's performance so much that they dropped that idea a few episodes into season 1. "It's a good thing, because I can't do a Russian accent to save my life," McPartlin said.
Asked if he felt positive about the show getting a fifth season, Fedak acknowledged there's "always a bit of uncertainty" but added that "we're really hopeful and really excited" about what the finale sets up for a potential fifth season.
