ChuckTV.net The CHUCK archive
Why did it take four years for someone to have Zac interview Josh? WHY? TV Guide Magazine finally made it happen, and the result is funny, moving, and full of their personalities. Warning: Mild spoilers!
Josh: I thought it was smart of TV Guide Magazine to get you to interview me because usually, we’re being interviewed together and we answer not a single question.
Zac: I will not let you off the hook! OK, let’s bring the viewers up to speed. When we last saw Chuck, Morgan, Sarah Yvonne Strahovski and Casey Adam Baldwin at the end of Season 4, they were no longer working for the government.
Josh: They’ve formed their own private-security firm, Carmichael Industries, because VolkoffTimothy Dalton left them all this money.
Zac: Of all the wedding gifts that Chuck and Sarah could get, $877 million…
Josh: It kind of tops all of the other gifts — that and the Viking coffeemaker.
Zac: And how’d that money work out for them?
Josh: Uh, it’s gone. [Laughter] Morgan eats a lot of shrimp.
Zac: Just ungodly amounts of crustaceans. So where does Morgan fit in to this scenario?
Josh: He is now the Intersect — the Carmichael Industries’ secret weapon. But it doesn’t work out so well for Morgan.
Zac: What happens?
Josh: Morgan gets pretty douchey. He goes a little rogue.
Zac: Kind of like the “one true ring” thing?
Josh: That’s the perfect analogy. Boromir sets out for good, to end the war and help humankind inThe Lord of the Rings, but it makes him nuts.
Zac: It does eventually give him the superhuman strength to take seven arrows in the chest.
Josh: One of the greatest deaths — it’s so good.
Zac: How does that guy get the greatest death scene ever? Were you excited to get the Intersect in the show’s final season?
Josh: I was swallowed by absolute paranoia and fear.

morgan dies?!?!? what?!?! did i read that right??
Huh? Where do you see that?
Well, they’re comparing Morgan’s storyline to one where a character dies!
Please tell me they’re not planning on killing off Morgan, and that we Chuck fans just take things too literally! ?
I mean first they give him the intersect, now they may or may not be planning to kill him off?!
This is madness, madness I tells you!
Oh, right, Boromir. I think they just got distracted by the One Ring analogy and how cool Boromir’s death was.
ha! yes 😛 i love the lord of the rings analogy. that made my day. 2 hours until the premiere! <3
After reading the article, I have a better understanding of the direction the writers are taking with the Mogansect. With that being said, I still wish they would have found a better vessel to help us reach the apex of Chuck’s greatness. Don’t want to beat a dead horse, but is just feels like slap stick when he’s on missions.
Yvonne, Zach, and Michael are such a great trio, and it seems the promos shows them with more airtime together, which I’m looking forward to. Not to mention Decker seems to be a proper advesary again, like Fulcrum and The Ring. Looking forward to the next episode.
You know, I think people forgot what Chuck was like in the first season with the intersect. It was all slap-stick!
Personally, it’s what made me love the show. I’m a fan of slap-stick comedy, and when I first saw “Chuck” I was really excited to be able to watch it every week.
The light hearted, goofy, or silly comedic aspect of the show was one my reasons for falling in love with this show as well. Maybe my idea of slap-stick differs from yours 🙂 No need to argue simatics, I just never saw Charlie Chaplin, the Stooges, or Keystone Cops when I watched the first 4 seasons of Chuck but now I do. With that being said, I promised not to beat a dead horse so I won’t. Anyway, bring on “rock climbing” Sarah.
P.S. Don’t know where “Michael,” came from when I meant “Adam.” My bad…
Michael Carmichael, of course!
