you.... you.... why I otta!
ReplyDelete95 eh? Now, THAT gets my attention, particularly if this "someone" is not an easy reviewer.
ReplyDeleteIf 5.03 is that good, it would be great to show it at Chuckfest. Hint, hint.
This person is definitely not an easy reviewer... but also seems to be very forgiving this season for some reason. More so than last season.
ReplyDeleteSo, Magnus, I take it this mysterious reviewer is not you? Because as far as Chuck scores/100 go, my best recollection from the podcast is that you are kind of a pushover :)
ReplyDeleteJim
P.S. So far, everything that's come out about season 5 sounds great.
I am a pushover? I don't know about that... I am predisposed to giving the show higher scores because it makes me laugh. And things that make me laugh get a higher score even when I think the writing isn't great.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I was pretty down on some episodes last season. And I don't think I gave more than two episodes anything above a 94. Though, I could be mistaken... it has been a few months.
Ep 1 an 85 ? With half nekkid Sarah Walker on display ??
ReplyDeleteAre we to assume the ep itself is a 75 and you gave it a +10 for hotness ? Or was it just an 85 and no hotness points allotted ?
:)
Whoever the reviewer is... and it could be just about anyone... they discounted any lingerie.
ReplyDeleteNow, if I am the reviewer, and I am not saying I was, then it should be obvious to anyone who is a fan of my sites or podcasts that I do not appreciate black lingerie.
I'm just wondering how correlated the scores are to "Morgansect" content.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming to realize that I don't care much one way or the other about the Morgansect as it relates to Morgan. The only thing I don't want to see is the loss of the Intersect turning Chuck into a self-pitying whiner. If he accepts the new situation with grace, I think I'll be totally o.k. with Morgan having the Intersect.
ReplyDeleteJim
Magnus, I check your blog every 10 minutes! I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU WRITE. So witty. So raw. So...awesome. Makes sitting in class bearable. That being said, can't wait for season 5! Kudos to you for being tight-lipped. :) -aNon
ReplyDeleteDamn... thank you, aNon. That is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my blog.
ReplyDeleteImagine if people had always been this nice, I wouldn't be the BASTARD I AM MOOHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
You know, contrary to popular belief, I think that there is a heart of gold underneath this cold exterior.
ReplyDeleteThere have been rumors suggesting such a thing but I don't believe them.
ReplyDeleteI just thought of something how do we really know if he really saw these first 3 episodes. As far as we know he could just be some guy try to make a name for himself. So to me these are just rumor numbers out of 100 that don't really mean much.
ReplyDeleteYou mean me or the reviewer? Because the reviewer is anonymous... how is that making a name for himself? And I have already proven my name.
ReplyDeleteMinimal spoiler alert !!
ReplyDeleteWas ep 3 the one with the " business trip " ? Either way , 95 sounds like it will be a good one . Wasn't Honeymooners your top rated ? So if Anonymouss' reviews are similar to yours .... Can't wait !!
I believe you are thinking of 5.04.
ReplyDeleteEpisode 3 is not "Business Trip". It's called "vs. the Frosted Tips". Behind the scenes photos on Twitter revealed helicopters and guns are present.
ReplyDeleteSo , episode 3 is awesome huh ? You know what else was awesome ? The time Eartha Kitt banged me in an airplane bathroom . lol
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity you know what scores this anonymous reviewer gave to the first 3 episodes from last season ? anniversary,suitcase and cubic Z ?
ReplyDeleteMan! Just have Chuck and Sarah doing it TV style for 13 episodes and every episode will be 100, easy.
ReplyDeleteThe mystery reviewer thinks the first three of season 5 are superior to season 4.
ReplyDeleteI read that "A wildly popular show is plotting a killer twist before it takes its final bow this spring." (Ausellio)
ReplyDeleteI think it's not Chuck be cause Chuck finale is not in spring. It's in February so I'm relieved:))
But then I remembered this:
Chris Fedak said Someone might not be survive this season in SDCC
??????????
Yeah Cubic Z got a lot of critism, suitcase was a bit of a rehash of role models and the premier was one giant reset...I loved them all due to lots of making out with Chuck and Sarah! That being said...with them having no inhibitions of more story post the 13th episode I am happy that they are just going full steam ahead with every idea they have in their heads! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I mentioned someone would die in some CYT podcast a while ago... but is that who Ausiello means? Doubt it. I don't think they have even written the episode where .... dies.
ReplyDeleteYeah I will rest easy if Morgan and the whole Buymore crew bite the big one...then all that will be left is the pretty people, lol...urgh!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Magnus! Great news!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't think the Ausiello "scoop" is about Chuck... it is too early on. Ausiello likes to mention Chuck for the site traffic.
How can this site get 4,000 hits in the last couple of hours and only 56 votes? Are people THAT lazy?
ReplyDeleteRepeat visitors?
ReplyDeleteAlso, some people may not see where the poll is.
I don't want to vote this time!!
ReplyDeleteLast time I voted a lot and we didn't win and I was dissapointed:((
People don't care as we do...
Repeat visitors wouldn't spike that much.
ReplyDeleteMaybe people are so appalled by the concept of a death on Chuck, that they can't bring themselves to vote for one.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is very possible.
ReplyDeleteHe finished saying "The death will definitely stick", and I associated that to Chuck right away. So I'm betting on chuck, but I am not rooting for it.
ReplyDeletecls.
Is there a separate ~sexytime rating system?
ReplyDeleteBo Derek is only 56 ??? She should have been Sarah's mom !
ReplyDeleteStill can't wait for the new season . Bring on the Morgansect !!
Bo Derek coming as herself! she has loads of secrets to reveal near the end of the series....interesting. How does a real life person come into Chuck's world and potentially close up a huge mythological solving conundrum...hmmm. I have a feeling that this season is going to be a standalone arc...awesome!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the answer to Casey's question, "who can control our lives so well?", is "the showrunner, stupid. You're on a TV show. And here's Bo Derek."
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteBo Derek playing HERSELF has got to be a misunderstanding on someone's part. If not, I'm going with her having had a fling with Jeff in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteJim
Zacharylevifan.com just posted a new interview with Josh and Zac in TV Guide. It gives away a lot of what's going to happen to Morgan.
ReplyDeleteOk, they reveal a lot, but really not anything new if you have followed this site. ;)
ReplyDeleteI did already know about it because I read this site. Alas, A lot of people don't read this site and it's not like this site put it out there with a neon sign.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the first time any publicity material mentioned it, AFAIK.
Sorry, my comment wasn't meant as a dig at you, more as a fun observation.
ReplyDeleteMagnus, on a scale of Craig Kilborn would you say he's: More Annoying, Less Annoying, or the Usual Amount of Annoying?
ReplyDeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteAs for the interview that was posted over at ZacharyLeviFan... if you guys remember the "spoiler" I posted about Chuck and Sarah being "split up" or something... a couple of you noticed what the real spoiler was... which was hidden in the article Labels. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
He used to be a late night talk show host. He was supposed to be in the premiere. Although, I guess your question kind of answered my question.
ReplyDeleteI know who he is. I have no more comment about it.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see. My bad.:)
ReplyDeleteMagnus,
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that Alex and Morgan's relationship will be coming to an end. Also, do you know why the writers haven't taken advantage of the fact that Mekenna Melvin is a black belt?
X
I really don't know if their relationship will be coming to an end. And why don't they take advantage of her skillset? Idiocy?
ReplyDeleteActually, I think we will see some of that this year.
I was not talking about you I was talking about the other guy
ReplyDeleteI am puzzled as to how Gina thought Vs the Anniversary was a giant reset?
ReplyDeleteAs per the poll I think it is probbaly the fact that as fans we dont want any of these characters to be killed and the ones we do are not on the poll I am thinking Jeff/Lester or even Big Mike all are regular characters even more than Gen Beckman and but I personally would not mind at all if they got killed and it would be hard for Chuck if they targeted BM as Castle underneath it, so Chuck would probably feel guilty.
