Well, the way I see it, as long as it doesn’t evolve into stalking or unhealthy obsession, you’re never to old to admire a beautiful woman.
And on that point I just want to say that I hope she doesn’t let herself be changed by the many bad influences in Hollywood as, currently, she is one of the best role models for young women trying to get into acting. She didn’t take shortcuts (going to college, starting small, etc.), favors workout instead of unhealthy diets (and judging by those muscles, I’d say she works out alot) and while she’s stunningly preety, she doesn’t shove it into everyone’s face and tries to act the supermodel. That’s a great person by my book and I’ll be upset if someone convinces her to go fix those slightly off-angle of hers just to make her look more doll-ish, there’s enough of that already.

If the new intersect is written correctly into the show, it can be the best thing ever as it opens a whole new world of possibilities. Yet, the aspect I hated the most about Prison Break is that the full body tatoos were the answer to everything: How do you know that? Tatoo. Why does he go there? Tatoo. How will he do it? Tatoo! I sure hope the writers don’t let me down and follow that path as that’s just cheating.

Then again the Prison Break writers can’t hold a candle to Chuck’s IMO so I guess I shouldn’t worry that much.

Yeah, well.. maybe they can turn the table a little bit with the new Chuck, you know, with him doing the saving instead of her saving him… that would be good for a couple episodes, leading to romance and so forth… I think there’s a lot of material that can be written still…

I’m 33, married, with a child, so probably going back to 17 with you know the hormones and the crush on the star from the TV… but only at 17… 18 tops… older than that it’s just weird…

Cheers

Well focculare, considering she is 26, I have no idea what good would going back to 17 do to you 😉
That reminds me… I’m almost 26!

As for the Neo-Chuck, I just hope they keep the kung-fu leashed. While it is a cool concept for a change, I sure don’t wanna lose the “stay in the car” running joke. That said, I trust the writers.

Well I as I said before, I think both of them, the producers, and the networks, should compromise and give the fans what they want, a show that ends properly…

And to make my posts a little less marketing-oriented… Let’s just say Yvonne S. is sooo hot, it makes me want to be 17 again (if you know what I mean).

And, one more thing, if they actually give us a third season, it’ll be a delight watching Chuck kicking ass with his newly acquired information…

The numbers for Illegal downloads are released in raw data so advertisers can take those in consideration if they wish to. How that information is gathered is anyone’s guess but actually Chuck usually ranks preety high on that list… what would you expect from a geek show?

Business-wise, product placement does work even with illegal downloads and Chuck, in my opinion, is a true pioneer in using product placement the right way (ok, the Sopranos only drank coca-cola, but that came and went in a breeze. The thing is that unlike good old advertisement gives money to the networks, product placement gives it to the producing company (WB in Chuck’s case) so th effect of product placement in the NBC-WB deal is that WB can sell their show cheaper as they get money from product placement.

But does illegal downloads change how expensive they can sell their placements? I don’t know, I think so, for the reasons stated above. But yet, advertisers may try to bring the price down by stating that illegal watching is just that, illegal, and should not be taking into consideration, even tough everyone know it should be. In the end it depends on who can handle the pressure better, the advertisers or the producer company.

@Odrep

You’re right, the real customers are the ones who pay for the show, and those ar the sponsors, the advertisers, the thing is this guys will just go for the numbers of the show (I kknow I would if I were at their position), after all, they’re only doing their job. Nothing we can do on that end.

@Everyone

I was watching the CNN interview and the ratings thing is very interesting, because, take me for example, I don’t live in the US, I started watching Chuck about 2 months ago, and I downloaded every single episode from the net.. of course I know this is illegal, but man you have to look at those numbers too.

The advertisers not only make commercial spots, but also product placement within the show (which IMHO is a better sell than the other ones). So well… they should make their homework. I’ve seen tons of stuff placed on the show: Mcaffe antivirus, Subway, Toyota of course, and maybe a couple of dozen more.
I didn’t pay for the cable, and I didn’t watch the show the day it was aired for the first time so I’m not in the statistics, I’m not in the ratings, but after all I did watch the episode -no matter when- and the advertisers got what they wanted, for me to notice their product.

Just antoher thought…

Ahahahha that’s a good one with your daughter, I’m so inviting my friends and their kids over when the second season starts here. That sounds like priceless laughing material.

The have a Heart campaign is really great, it really doesn’t do much of a difference on the negociations to renewal Chuck, but it does create more buzz on the show and it serves a noble cause. A television show may not be the most important thing in the world by far, but when you tie it to such a campaign, it gets a whole different meaning. Man I’m proud of the Chuck fanbase!
