The Southern accent was probably easier for her to do than the standard American accent.

only one small question:

how is chuck science fiction and fantasy?

'Cause there's a neurological computer database uploaded into his brain, a technology that does not exist anywhere in the real world? And that's to say nothing of Orion's fancy gadgets.

That, plus it is a pure fantasy. Nerd gratification to the extreme.

Three years ago the title character was a couch potato video game addicted college drop out (expelled), working a dead end retail job he hated, living with his sister and her boyfriend, and hung up on a girl he hadn't seen in years. And look at him now.

Fantasy. With a tad of sci-fi thrown in. Thus, we are in the Sci fi & Fantasy forum.

Naw... that pretty much described me. Living with my Dad, working a dead-end retail job, expelled from school and hung up on a girl I hadn't seen in years.

Got a real job, got back in and finished school, have my own place and got a girl.

Okay, I'm not a super-spy with a computer in his brain, but close enough.

Thank you.

I also have a short, bearded best friend.

That was really enjoyable. I was curious to see how they'd have Chuck+Sarah, super spy couple play out and it actually made sense with how everything else in the show has played out.

This is definitely something that impressed me quite a bit. The show has almost completely changed its premise from the first two seasons, but it happened in such a natural way that it's still very much the same show.

Mmm...not exactly "natural." They've done a 180 from the days when the premise was, "Chuck is great just as he is - nerd beats superspy - if only he'd realize it." Now his career objective is to be a superspy? But that means he must give up Sarah. Oh wait, he and Sarah can still be together and keep their jobs. Then why were they ever worried about...oh frak it!

The permutations this show has gone through to hang onto some kind of premise and keep reasonably fresh is about as natural as what you'd see walking out of a Hollywood plastic surgeon's office. But it's been fun, so I give them a pass.
