On a personal level I am a photographer, writer, and cinema nut so I look at a show or a movie in a different way. I can always appreciate a great plot, acting, dialogue, and obviously the way something is shot is very important to me but I toss that all aside with Chuck because the "appeal" of the whole is far greater than the actual parts and quality of the show itself. I've seen very few things ever that have such a pure and simple allure as Chuck. It's a show of total and pure fantasy set in the framework of the reality most of us are familiar with. That coupled with the extremely likable characters and the hearty emotionalism tends to suck you in. My wife always tells me after a hard day of work "I want to live in Chuckworld!" All of that makes it an easy show to really love. I admit I think about Chuckworld more often than I probably realize. Before Chuck my favorite show of all time was BSG but it's not a place you'd ever want to visit. I never would want to experience anything in that dark dank universe! But if I could totally live in Chuckworld Burbank and hang with those people, it has that sort of magic to it. It's right up there with walking into Cheers and ordering a beer from Sam Malone, or partying the night away in Rome with Marcello, or living in a small Paris apartment next to Amelie. :) I guess in the end I cannot blame people too much for obsessing about the details of Chuckworld.<br /><br />ZmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-52044336546912095902011-02-18T08:25:34.427-05:002011-02-18T08:25:34.427-05:00The origin of the word cheque is French.....just s...The origin of the word cheque is French.....just saying:)acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-73195690695206425192011-02-18T05:51:04.365-05:002011-02-18T05:51:04.365-05:00No, not this time, for I am not American.

I hope there was much cake.<br /><br />Re: Chuck - can Chuck stop saying 'Hey, I get it, I understand' when he's CLEARLY got different issues to Sarah and doesn't really get it, despite his good intentions.<br /><br />It would be nice if he stopped saying that he understands so much, and starts showing it a little more. However, his 'I deserved that' and promise to stop helping did show he learned. Ish.<br /><br />Sarah has friends :) This makes me happy. <br /><br />The Morgan/Alex 'drama' (if you can call it that) was a little petty, but watch-able. The Cats weren't exactly as I'd imagined... but they were fun. AND we get a guarantee of more Carina sometime in the future! Well, should the wedding be the season/season 5 happens and we get the wedding then. Ok, maybe it's not a guarantee, but it's a start.<br /><br />BTW was Carina using a walking stick to trap Morgan in Castle?

Flat resolution? yes. but, as we all know, it hasn't been resolved yet. <br />I totally hate that they are ignoring the intersect. like really? it gets taken out, mary's explanation is "I didn't want you to follow me" and then it gets put back in, mary "knows everything there is to know about the intersect" etc, and now we are going to just forget about that and focus on all the relationships... tres disappointing if you ask me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-60355027974382276102011-02-16T13:51:56.061-05:002011-02-16T13:51:56.061-05:00You know in a way (I am a fan of chuck and sarah, ...You know in a way (I am a fan of chuck and sarah, not a shipper or crazy shipper) that once chuck and sarah got together and they spent a few episodes exploring the new relationship dynamic they would ease up a little. I would love just to have scenes where music plays and he is just bringing her breakfast in bed or smelling a rose and giving it to her, or kissing her on the cheek before going to bed or them at the vegetable market talking about music, tv, movies, rock climbing (anything, everything), them at a bar by themselves on with friends, etc. Where these scenes take 2-3 minutes of an episode and then they concentrate on the missions and story. By doing that they show that they are happy and that there is intimacy and romance but it is not too forced and too much....as Sepinwall said to Fedak, "Can't chuck and sarah ever just be happy?"Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-29905824673102814422011-02-16T12:09:50.039-05:002011-02-16T12:09:50.039-05:00I don't find the episodes boring.

The plot of the show has been focusing more on the relationship since the middle of season 3. Can't say I really mind them together and I certainly don't think the general fact of them being "together" is hurting the ratings. It just seems like it's too much of the show now. Being shoved down our throat scene after scene. Producers, writers, editing, etc are all catering to the crazy shippers.<br /><br />The relationship stuff (in any show) should be a secondary part of the show to the major plot. In this case: spying, intersect, character past reveals, etc. I almost feel like this computer in Chuck's head isn't really a big deal anymore. Everyone should have one, you're not cool unless you have a super computer in your noggin'. Plus, the Volkoff arc went too long and the resolution was too flat. They do that all the time on this show. <br /><br />CrashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-70721759403970158242011-02-16T11:19:28.293-05:002011-02-16T11:19:28.293-05:00I do so love passive aggressive people...I do so love passive aggressive people...Razorbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377660997495990065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-13585275455047011552011-02-16T11:16:16.208-05:002011-02-16T11:16:16.208-05:00Enough said, thank you very much magnus for your f...Enough said, thank you very much magnus for your feedback and time, it has been very informative.
