    "Chuck" Season 3

    I liked it a lot. However, I greatly preferred last season's wedding sequence, and the following Chuck 2.0 stuff. For me, the editing and music (Jeffster rocks Mr. Roboto) pairing was top-notch. In this finale, I really liked how all the characters were read into the plot, and I enjoyed...

    "Chuck" Season 3

    I don't know exactly how it works in the States, but here in Canada, most CSIS employees aim to keep their (true nature of their) employment a secret from even their friends. I assume it's similar for the CIA, so I doubt announcing that the Agency has a super-secret intelligence weapon inside a...

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Similar thing happened on FlashForward, where Dominic Monaghan mentioned Orlando Bloom and Black Hawk Down, which of course means Orlando Bloom exists, and starred in LOTR with Dominic Monaghan :)

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Yup. The Weavers' version has all-but-vanished, and Simone's cover is pretty much considered the definitive recording. Her version of "Feeling Good," also a cover (this time from a musical), is great, but I honestly prefer my countryman, Michael Bublé's version. You can watch the...

    "Chuck" Season 3

    She was a pretty famous jazz singer. Arguably her most famous song (actually a cover), "Sinnerman," figures prominantly in the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair" during the big chase scene (and also in the movie "Cellular," and a bunch of other movies and TV show episodes).

    Reports from today are saying the chance for Chuck's renewal has improved: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/04/23/chuck-renewal-prospects-looking-good/ Obviously it's just a rumour, so take it as such.

    "Chuck" Season 3

    I'm sure the whole "moving to Italy" thing is a tease that will never materialize--something will come up that keeps everyone in California. Maybe Ellie is pregnant or Awesome breaks his arms, and a new threat appears that only Chuck can deal with locally, etc. That being said, I would...

    Gotcha. Thanks Adam!

    "Chuck" Season 3

    See, I thought back when an extra six episodes were added to the order, they were filmed as a "mini-arc" of sorts, and placed in front of the pre-existing 13 episodes (whatever they had shot already). This would mean we've seen that six ep bonus mini-arc (the first six eps), and are now halfway...

    "Chuck" Season 3

    At the moment, Chuck is in a strange place, chances-wise. On one hand, the ratings have been trending slightly down--unless you include the PVR numbers--despite these episodes being some of the best of the series. On the other hand, the ratings are *that* terrible when compared to the rest of...

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Another great episode. I don't really know what else anyone could possibly ask of this show. In my opinion, it delievers on pretty much every level: action, humour, emotion, dialogue, acting. All while retaining an honesty about it--especially on the emotion front.

    "Chuck" Season 3

    I'm pretty sure that was simply referrencing V-J Day, what with the kiss and all.

    "Chuck" Season 3

    There's also the risk that the shows goes on for a few more seasons, and people start to complain about how stale and boring the whole "secret life" thing has become. I can easily see members of this forum complaining about that very fact.

    "Chuck" Season 3

    The ratings are quite good, considering the network and the timeslot--around a 2.5/6, with 7 million viewers in the all-important 18-49 demographic. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that Hannah has been added in so that she can be killed after Chuck falls for her.

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Great episode. Though, it seems that after Jay moves back to his old timeslot, the Canadian channels will stop airing Chuck 1-day early. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ieea0d35bc59ea6b95fe1b4a1896f0720

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Exactly. Numb3rs has been doing this for years now, where various members of the FBI team are "on days off" in a rotating fashion. It also allows for some interesting pairings (like Awesome and Chuck) other than the standard "team" and "pairings."

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Chuck was actually down a tad (according to TV by the numbers) in the key 18-49 demo, but it still did amazingly well, which is nice to see for sure!

    This probably isn't the best place for you then :)

    "Chuck" Season 3

    Chuck is one of the rare shows that I don't mind padding in, as it usually means more story time given to the supporting characters, who I also care about. As long as a sense of urgency is still present in the intersect story, I don't mind if it only gets ~20 minutes a week for a few weeks, if...
