Friday Five: Possible GRETA Acronym Deciphers

This season Chuck will feature a character named “Greta” at the Buy More, with the twist that Greta will be played by a different actor or actress every week. At Comic Con, Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak were pretty pleased with themselves for coming up with this plan, but when I suggested that Greta was an acronym – G.R.E.T.A. – they perked up even further. Will the name end up being an acronym? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, let’s have some fun deciphering what that acronym could mean.

  1. Guaranteed Rockin’ Extra Tactical Acrobat – because surely the Gretas will get to show off their fight skillz.
  2. Government Raised Extra Terrestrial Agent – you know they’re breeding agents in Area 51.
  3. Gorgeous Random Emergency Training Agent – spy training never looked so good!
  4. Graduate Research Engineer of Theoretical Atoms – sometimes grad students need to pick up some extra cash.
  5. Greatest Reason for Erik (Estrada) To Appear – can’t you see the CHiPS homage now?

Do you think any of the above are even close? What do you think GRETA might stand for?

    Glorified Risk-seeker Escorting Troubled Agents
    Generalist Rank for Ever-adapting Task Agents

  13. Go Research Every Thing Already

  14. Here are my fav ones at the moment:

    Government Retail Environment Training & Assessment
    or
    Government Retail Environment Training Assignment
    or
    Government Retail Environment Tactical Agent

    The first one works really well for me because Greta could be the reason that Chuck and Morgan are back at the BuyMore. It may be their job is to evaluate the Gretas on their ability to blend into a retail environment! 🙂
