Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoilers

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

I'm so glad to see a Chuck thread! I came looking for one a week or two ago, and I just couldn't believe that there wasn't one. (Happy)

Every time Ellie and Awesome talk about Chuck "spying again," it comes across like he was a peeping tom who got caught.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

The episode was entertaining, but I really, really didn't care for how he got his intersect back.

The series is becoming far too formulaic for me.
Good on those who enjoy it though.

Is Subway picking up like half the bill for the budget or something? This goes beyond distracting. It's Smallville bad.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Yay! Spitting Timothy Dalton!

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

It's a sizable portion of the budget. I'm actually extremely surprised Castle isn't built below a Subway.

If Chuck EVER loses the intersect again, I'm turning the damn TV off. This better be the last time they screw around with the intersect until he gets it out in the series finale.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Same here. His dream sequence with Lester was hilarious, but it is getting tiresome.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

I'm eating a Subway sandwich right now, and despite what Big Mike and Morgan think, they do not smell like great-smelling food smells.

Chuck got around 6 million viewers last night... better than the Event. Although it did have limited competition.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Best part was the spoof on Die Hard.. Seriously, Morgan fucking up the iconic gun pull scene from the end of Die Hard was just awesome.

Worst part? "Come with me if you want to live!" Seriously.. we get it. It's Sarah Connor.. er.. Linda Hamilton and she had a part in an obscure SF cult movie series.
It was funny back when Lundgren had to "break" Chuck and maybe funny with the other halfway famous guest stars but this was just cringe-inducing.
Yeah we know who she played and yes.. the movies are popular but this falls into the category of "Too easy.. just let it pass".

Otherwise a very good episode and a nice end to an otherwise really crap day i had.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

I wasn't a fan of how Chuck got the intersect back either. And this business of keeping the spying secret from Ellie is getting tiring.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Spoiler: 4x11: "Chuck Versus the Balcony"

A mission takes Chuck, Casey and Sarah to France where they have to track down a nano-chip. Lester looks to Big Mike for love advice.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Thought tonight's was a pretty good episode, although they used that same damn house that every other show in TV history has used.

I guess the proposal is now the "thing" that gets dragged out for the rest of the season?

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

No random stunt casting this week. Is the budget being cut even more?

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Ugh, I had so many weeks to get caught up on my Chuck, but I'm still about 6 or 7 episodes behind! They're all recorded on my roommate's TiVo, but I keep forgetting to watch them. Dammit.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

This was slightly better than the previous few episodes but the show just isn't as good as it was in previous seasons--it mainly has a few nice character moments but the rest is a mish mash. I'm just not that involved in what's going on anymore. This should be its last season.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

To me Chuck is the kind of show that has a limited premise, but I like the characters and actors so much I don't mind them stretching it out.

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

I really liked the episode, Lester showing the real, tender, normal Lester was awesome!

 

Re: Chuck: Season 4 (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski) Discussion/Spoil

Poor Lester...he had a chance with a major hottie and he fraking blew it. Loser! Twas pretty funny though...

I could tell going in that Chuck was never going to actually get to propose to Sarah. He kept getting interrupted and since Chuck is serialized it was obvious he'd never do it at this point in the season.

How many episodes left?
