Well, given an initial good guess, I’ll try for two …

How about Emily Kuroda (Mrs. Kim from Gilmore Girls) for the old Korean woman …

I have to agree the visitors were good last year–many as bad guy’s. I think 4 episodes of Routh would be a little more than I would like to see-unless he is a spy and Casey or the Morgan get him in the end (even then I hope there are no more than two episodes)-what is the estimate on how many shows he will be in? Michael Clark Duncan was great–Sarah’s fighting was awesome–like to see a taped short of what goes on to make up one of her fight scenes. Like to see some KRAV MAGA come in to play–it can be quick and deadly. Ever notice how our heroes leave their guns lying around after a good fight–I wonder how much the school kids get for them.

Just for fun I rated my top 10 Chucks of season 2–it even surprised me. Perhaps someone can list theirs, I will follow up.
Mine project the soft and mushy anti angst guy that I am. However I did not consider it a big deal when Sarah shot the Fulcrum agent in the Santa Claus episode. Had to give up hunting when I decided more people deserved to be shot than animals.

Each guest star last year added something to the show. Who better to play Ted Roark than Chevy Chase? Gary Cole was great as Sarah’s dad. Who couldn’t imagine a hit-man that looked like Michael Clarke Duncan? Jenny McCarthy as a Fulcrum seductress, Tricia Helford as a tough-as-nails by the book spy, Nicole Richie as the stuck-up former high school cheerleader, and John Larroquette as the aging James Bond-type were all great performances. Tony Hale was perfect as Emmitt.

And then, there was Scott Bakula as Stephen Bartowkski–Chuck’s father and Orion, inventor of the Intersect.

I expect each of this season’s guest stars to add something as well.

This complaint reminds me of what was being said at the beginning of season 2 when all these guest star announcements were being made. In the end, every single one of them provided exactly what a guest star is supposed to provide: someone for the “regulars” to either fight or rally around. “Adventure” means “an exciting or very unusual experience.” It’s kind of difficult to have an “adventure” if we only see the same 6 or 7 people every week.

Kreuk’s relationship with Clark Kent generated so much angst that I quit watching Smallville—Harmon was one of my favorites on Law & Order. They both can be very good, it depends on the scripts. I hope the regulars are being compensated fairly-Does not seem like there is a shortage of money.-seems that S& F are trying to buy a new season with guest stars instead of quality writing. The regulars are strong enough to carry the show–guest villains are ok–especially if the villains include the kid in the blue underwear. The storylines should revolve around the regulars—S&F need to quiet the angst gang by solidifying Sarah and Chuck’s relationship in episode 1 or 2 and then concentrating on the comedy and adventure. I am becoming very skeptical about the new season!! I hope I am wrong!!

Everybody Hates Chris’ Terry Crews should play the part!

and for the old Korean woman:

Takayo Fischer

She played as Mistress Ching in Pirates 3
