I hope season 5 is as cool as that promo art. I still don't like the fact that Morgan is now the intersect. I mean season 3's finale stressed that chuck was "special" even from an early age and now we find out that he's not so special seeing as Morgan is now the intersect.

My guess is that it's just a comedy phase that will get boring within 3 episodes and get put back into Chuck.

Frankly, the entire, "Chuck loses the intersect!" plot got boring the first 4 time they did it.

Every single episode, for starters. S1 and S2 had a TON more location shooting, bigger and better sets, better effects and better/more iconic/well known licensed music. Not to mention that the action sequences were mostly competently staged.

S3 and S4 have barely any location shooting, pretty much every set is the Bartowski house or Castle re-dressed (and not done especially well given hpow obvious it is - the Bartowski house was a prison in Bolivia or somewhere last year, lolz), terrible greenscreen effects and less good music. And the action? Lolz.

Its obvious in every single facet of production. The show was never hugely budgeted, but at least S1 and S2 don't look and feel cheap.

From what I remember, didn't Chuck take a big budget hit with its S3 renewal and never recovered?

The cast is looking good in that photo. Chuck looks like a real spy these days. Can't wait for season five. I hope they deliver a good ending.

They could have done up the Orange Orange freezer door/castle staircase a little differently if that's suppose to be a new base though.

It's the same place. They bought the Buy More, remember?

I'd have thought maybe they'd give castle a makeover now that it's not a CIA facility. Even if they did buy the Buy More, that promo art does show it being blown up. Maybe I'm jumping ahead of the show on this one.

I've given this show so many chances, but that guy with the beard just ruins it for me.

He should just wear a sign around his neck that says COMIC RELIEF.

That is the point. Morgan was the best thing about last season. He is not a strong enough character to be on his own, but he always seemed to make everyone else around him funnier.

Yvonne has always been pretty conservative in her photo shoots.

Still looking good though.

But she is not that conservative on the show, which is why I was expecting more. But she is still looking damn good.

Sadly, I think it is too late for that. I will still watch and enjoy, but it has been too long since the show was awesome. It has just been a fun distraction for the last two seasons instead of Must See TV(tm)

Weird enough, Yvonne is the only one who doesn't look noticably better.

She's the only one who might look better now. Then > now. Morgan and Chuck obviously have better haircuts now, but other than that, all 3 male leads have aged noticeably.

The hair is part of it though. And some men actually get better looking with age. Although I will say Adam hasn't changed much. Morgan also looks better now, I'd say.

Wasn't too excited with Yvonne's shoot. Doesn't really help that I'm not a fan of short hair... Sucks that I'll probably end up liking the final season's Sarah the lease.

That's not really all that impressive.

The fact that he has looked the same since 1987 in Full Metal Jacket, however, is.

How on earth did he look younger than that during Independence Day?

I am not saying that Chuck is about to get a back nine again, but NBC once again laid an egg this season.

The only shows that didn't finish in 3rd or 4th place (at 10, Fox goes off the air) was Dateline on Friday, and The Office and Whitney on Thursday, and only the first hour of The Biggest Loser on Tuesday.

So yeah, NBC is beating The CW, and that's about it. Shit, they're probably getting beat by Univision at this point.
