Please stay in your seats until the ride comes to a complete and final stop This was another absolutely packed episode with so many great moments and visual gags that there is no way I can do them all justice! The writers are definitely throwing everything that they have into every episode. This week we had prison scenes, nudity, computer ... Read More »

Friday Five: Best Holiday-Themed Chuck Episodes
Hey Chucksters, we hope that all our American fans had a great Thanksgiving and are slowly coming out of your turkey-induced coma. Or maybe you’ve been up since midnight in line at the Buy More…er… Best Buy waiting to buy a TV or XBox. Either way, it’s hard to deny that the holidays are upon us. Thinking back over the ...

Chuck 5.04 Chuck vs the Business Trip
Yippee ki-yay… I’m starting to think that every episode this season is going to be 2-3 episodes packed in one. While there was a lot going in all the episodes so far this season, Business Trip took the cake. It was a nonstop mix of witty dialogue, pop culture references, and life-threatening and life-altering plot twists. Kind of amazing that ... Read More »
She Said: Chuck 5.03, Chuck vs the Frosted Tips
AKA Chuck vs the Best Friend II We got the party started this week with a new opening line: “I’m Chuck and here’s what’s been going on in my life lately” – as compared to “I’m Chuck and here’s a few things you should know (or maybe you forgot)”. This change seems designed to highlight the fact that this season ... Read More »
She Said: Chuck 5.02 For Chuck vs the Bearded Bandit
One question: Who’s Luke Skywalker? After a fun, but rather uneven premiere, today’s episode was fast and furious with quite a bit of advancement of both the Buy More and Carmichael Industry plots. Those who were upset that it seemed like others could handle the Intersect after we were told that Chuck was special, can take solace in the fact ... Read More »

I really liked ‘Zoom’ and I think it sets up lots of exciting possibilities for the next 12 episodes. We got a good look at the (amusing) ... Read More »

Because I care about you, I’m here to help! Top 5 things to do while you wait for the Chuck premiere: 1. Identity theft is very common these ... Read More »
Chuck from A to Z
I’ve subscribed to Entertainment Weekly for over a decade and when they have a cover story celebrating a TV, book or movie series, they often write an “A to Z” guide of the important points of the story. Obviously Chuck has never gotten a big EW cover story, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have an A to Z list. ... Read More »
Friday Five: Best Cat Fights
Mel’s Note: Cay brings us this week’s Friday Five, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it first! I’ve always been drawn to shows with strong female leads, especially when those women could hold their own with the guy,s mentally and physically. Indeed, some of my favorite shows over the years reflect this preference – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ... Read More »
If I Was Writing Chuck Season 5, I’d…
When my friends and I are waiting around for something, we sometimes play the “If I Ruled the World” game wherein each person lists the things that they would change if they were in charge of everything. With only 13 episodes of Chuck left and over two more months of waiting around to go, I thought it might be fun ... Read More »
