Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-pagenavi domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

This post is part of a series of mini insights into Chuck<\/strong> \u2013 Chucktoids, if you will \u2013 courtesy of G. Walter Bush, author of Unpacking Chuck<\/strong><\/a> and Unpacking Chuck 2.0<\/strong><\/a>.

What\u2019s in a name? In the case of \u201cChuck\u201d, often more than you may think. Prior Chucktoids have linked Orion and Frost to the ancient mythological figures they parallel, but the monikers of several other characters also imply deeper meanings. Sarah Walker is aptly named, given her 5-season pilgrimage from an isolated, independent, and itinerant individual to a married woman who cherishes home and family.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, Casey\u2019s name suggests his famous emotional encasement for the bulk of the series, a disposition mirrored in his prize possession: his armored Crown Vic.<\/p>\n

Given that a lark can be defined as a \u201ccarefree adventure\u201d, it further makes perfect sense that Sarah enjoys her escapades as \u2018Mrs. Anderson\u2019 with Bryce Larkin, frolicking with him in Cabo & other exotic destinations before ultimately choosing (with great difficulty) a real home and family that Chuck promises.<\/p>\n

It also seems like no coincidence that the Castle Crew is at the constant beck and call of General Beckman, always ready to follow her instructions and do her bidding.<\/p>\n

Even Shaw\u2019s name contains subtle clues. Its English root traces back to \u201cthicket\u201d, hinting at the initial mystery of his character, while in Scottish the surname derives itself from \u201cwolf\u201d, foreshadowing his ultimate role as a villain in sheep\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n
