I like the show.  The writers, however, either don't have a true handle on geek culture or they do, but that does not pay the bills.

It is for sure one of the better shows out there. Can't wait till tomorrow!

I love Adam Baldwin (John Casey). For those of you out there that either were fans of the show Firefly, or fans of the movie Serenity, you will know him as Jayne. I think Jayne was Drew and my favorite character on that show, so when we started watching Chuck last year we were so happy to see him on the show. He cracks us up.


Regarding this comment...I would love to know what your thoughts on "geek culture" are. This is by no means a challenge or anything. I am just curios what you feel the show is not doing a good job in portraying as it pertains to geek culture. I think of Chuck as a middle of the road geek - not totally engrossed in the nerd/geek world, and with a sense of reality - not necessarily a hard-core geek. So from my point of view, I do think they do a good job portraying him that way. But, that is just from the way I choose to view Chuck.

Later!

NBC has requested a total of 22 episodes this season so we know that we will have at least this season of Chuck to amuse us.

Last night was probably one of the best episodes they have done.  If you missed it, go to NBC.com and watch it.  *waves hand* You will watch Chuck.

Exactly, it seems a logical step for him to take as well. Be interesting to see just how long they keep the Buy More/Nerd Herd angle going. All in all I was laughing myself silly watching it last night. My fav moment was when Chuck faked out all the bad guys with Morgans assistance. It was awesome to see the change that came over him when he decided what course of action to take.

Very good episode!  I agree about Chuck joining the CIA. If he does they better keep the Buy More cover going cause I like the interaction with the rest of the Buy More crew.

Drew and I thought it was brilliant too when Chuck used Morgan's specs for Call of Duty. It was awesome. And it is true - he became so confident as soon as he had that plan in mind.

I too love the interaction with the Buy More crew. I have to say that this series has one of my favorite supporting casts ever. I don't think there is a character that I don't like. I love the mischief that Jeff and Lester are always up to.

Keep in mind that the apartment is his sister's and her boyfriends - both of whom are doctors - so all in all, that is not unrealistic - even in California.


I don't see that at all. I don't think Chuck was the geekiest loser, and I don't feel the writers have portrayed him that way. He is certainly a geek, but look at it from this point of view...he got kicked out of school for cheating (which he knows he didn't do) - I think that would cause a lot of people to feel deflated and to just kind of settle for what came along, rather than going for something greater. He had goals and dreams before he got kicked out of Stanford, and lost those dreams, because they were based on him graduating. He didn't graduate, therefore the roadmap he had set for his life was completely altered, and he probably thought - well, I am not going to own my own company, etc (all the stuff Charles Carmichael does) so I might as well work with my best bud Morgan at the Buy More until something better comes along - and then time passes, and so on. I don't really feel that that makes him a loser. I think that is typical of a lot of people out there - makes him relateable in my opinion. And then in drops the Intersect, and bam - he has drive back in his life - a purpose again. I actually think that we see the real Chuck more when he is on missions, than at work at the Buy More.

But again, that's just all my opinion!!

I totally agree with you Ash.

Monday's are back to being a day to look forward to, not dreading. Yay! 

Thanks.

That bastard. What happened to him going deep undercover and off the radar? Wish Bryce had stayed off the radar for a while longer. I just want Chuck to best Bryce in some way.

I thought John Laraquette (sp) was a good addition last night. I love the whole "Thailand" (tie, land) stuff. I thought that was funny. And again, Lester just cracks me up! The Wheel of Misfortune! Funny. Good episode. Can't wait for next week.

Last night was a very good episode.  The side story between Captain Awesome and Ellie was pretty funny as well.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen to Lester next week.  I'm really hoping that Sarah dumps Bryce next week because the title of the episode is Chuck vs the Break up.

Here is a link to the episode list.  There are some spoilers from the look of it so you have been warned.

Yes, you did see a cartwheel in there.  They were playing Hewie Louis and the News I do believe.  I'm finding the musical selection for the season to be highly amusing.

Um, I can't help you with that one.  I know hiring is starting next week so maybe you will get to go back to an earlier shift soon.  I make no promises though.

Yea I can see that but I can also see that Bryce is being kind of self-serving in regard to Sarah. Cuz you could tell by the look on her face that she was gonna say something different from what Chuck ended up doing. My opinion of Bryce is kinda colored by the Sarah aspect of their triangle. I can kinda see how it can seem like he's protecting Chuck, but also at the same time it's more him trying to separate him from Sarah as well. All in all last night was a good episode, I just don't like Bryce.
