No screener was made available for these episodes but my ninjas know all and have flipped out and killed lots of people so that I am able to bring you this little preview. Though, since I have not seen the episodes, I can only hint at things.
Since a few fan sites and fans decided to copy the material of these teasers without properly crediting me, I am creating a new paradigm for posting this teasers. I am going to try this one more time. If I see people posting these elsewhere as opposed to linking to this site for them to be read, then this will be the last I post. If people can't be respectful of the source, then the source is not going to bother again. If everyone is cool, we can keep doing this for the rest of the season.
So, police other sites for me if you want to keep it going.

NEXT UP... 15 and 16?
Hey magnus,
ReplyDeleteI can't really guess with any real probability about what most of these teasers mean, but I'm sure my mind will run rampant with them. Though I'm really hoping it's Casey's burden that is over, and guessing Shaw's that beginning with his wife, but I doubt it. Plus I kind of want to see Casey banished to Buymoria for another couple of days. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the awesome blog and podcasts.
-GC
Thanks for posting these, although they are very ambiguous which is great, wouldn't want to be spoiled. I'll take a few guesses of the teasers.
ReplyDelete1 is pretty clear in itself no explanation needed.
2 Obviously it's Shaw, they made Shaw into such an incompetent spy, I used to like him when he first showed up too...
3 I'm guessing it will have something to do with Shaw's wife
4 Not really sure about this one but I'm going to guess something is going to happen to Team B.
5 Casey gets his job back and Chuck shoots someone, that's my guess.
TheLionKing, interesting. I am going to love seeing some of the guesses. It will probably be most interesting to see who gets it right and who is sure they got it right but are way wrong. :)
ReplyDeletehot damn this is gonna be a big episode. 4 out of 5 of your spoilers seem like they will be major, game-changing events.
ReplyDeleteoh, and hi lion king :P
Thanks for the teasers.
ReplyDelete2.Awesome tackling Shaw
3.Something about Eve Shaw
4.I'm going to steal from you. Chuckbond leaves for Rome, quits the Buymore.
5.Chuck's burden ends and Sarah's starts
Those first 5 are the little teasers. Later today, or tomorrow, I will toss out a couple that are even bigger. I have about 15 more for the rest of the week. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it funny that you guys are already discounting the first teaser. What makes you think it means exactly what you think it means?
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, this was supposed to make me feel better! :) But I'm going to enjoy these little teasers...at least they're something relatively solid to last through the week.
ReplyDeleteNo speculation from me...I'm just enjoying the ride.
People, careful with your guesses. Try not to reference things from the promos since there are people who avoid them like the plague who read this. So, if you are speculating based on the promo, DON'T SAY IT. That way people who don't watch them will just think you are speculating wildly and won't feel spoiled. :)
ReplyDeleteSo does that mean I have to retype mine?
ReplyDeleteMagnus,
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean I have to retype mine?
HJ
Okay Magnus, I'll play! :o) Just be nice if my specs are getting too out there or delving into fan fic... :o)
ReplyDelete1) My idea is promo and synopsis based. Gonna have to keep my trap shut for now.
2) Either Shaw makes a mistake or Sarah does in regards to her statement last week...or both???
3) I'm thinking either Casey spills it to Sarah about the Red Test (with the implications that Chuck IS NOT ready to be on his own) or we find out the identity of the woman Sarah killed during her Red Test.
4) Okay, shippery here, but Sarah "decides" who she wants to be with. Or Chuck decides to go for broke getting her back. Or Shaw does something really stupid (promo based won't go any further).
5)Chuck's burden's are eased. Shaw's is just beginning. This IS his true arc after all.
BTW thanks for the spoilers! But man are you annoyingly vague! Is it Monday yet????? ;o)
HJ, yes. Sorry but you reference way too much from the promo.
ReplyDeleteTeaser 1:
ReplyDeleteI would assume that's a reference to the main spy plot and the slightly comedic B plot where Casey/Morgan/Awesome are trying to help Chuck win Sarah over
Teaser 2:
I would say Shaw, cause he seems to be kinda sorta mistake prone but ....
Teaser 3:
Sarah killed Shaw's wife as part of her Red Test
Teaser 4:
No clue ... Chuck/Sarah do the whole Mr & Mrs Smith thing?
Teaser 5:
I would guess Sarah reconciles with the Chuck is a Spy thing and her thinking he killed a guy (burden over) , Chuck actually kills a guy for the first time (hence his burden is beginning)
Jay
Ok totally speculation but
ReplyDelete1. Probably the Chuck/Sarah/Shaw mission and Casey/Morgan/Awesome working on something
2. Shaw's the most incompetent one, so i'm thinking he makes a big mistake.
3. Terrible truth... hmm. Based on 3.11 I think in the flashback of Sarah's red test, it was Eve she killed.
4. My shipperness comes out here, cause i think Sarah decides she and Chuck can be together, so from now on they'll be an awesome spy couple :)
5. Probably Chuck's burden's are eased once he gets sarah? Whereas Shaw's all uncomfortable after Sarah picks Chuck? Not sure about that one though
:)
Diane says...
ReplyDeleteThis is great fun for you, Magnus. You get to laugh at us for guessing wildly wrong. Here goes my turn:
1. I see a few "missions". Chuck gets his own CIA mission. Chuck has his personal mission in regards to Sarah. Casey, Morgan, and Awesome have a "mission", of sorts. Shaw has his personal and official Ring missions.
2. Not really sure. Wild guess: Shaw
3. Terrible truth is about what happened to Shaw's wife.
4. Chuck and Sarah together. Finally.
5. Shaw's burden is over. Chuck's has begun.
2) Now I know that the popular answer is that Shaw makes the mistake...but I ask, can a cardboard box make mistakes?
ReplyDelete5) I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Morgan did a little spying again and got some intel on who actually shot the mole in the last episode/ or Shaw recognizes his new found attraction for Lester and his beautiful long hair, and can finally breath a sigh of relief. Lester is mortified.
A terrible truth will be revealed.
ReplyDeletehmmmm, in another forum I read that there is going to be a connection between Sarah and Shaw that is going to be shocking. They've never worked together or ever never had any contact, I don't think he's Bryce's brother like some people have speculated but I do think he's out for revenge. I'm thinking could Sarah have been the one to kill Shaw's wife for her Red Test? We don't know who that person was or what their name was. That would shock the crap outta me! Sarah thinking that it was orders does it without realizing that that person was not actually a baddie and now she finds out.
Magnus if I'm completely off base please try to be nice with your comments. ;-)
Nat
Teaser 1:
ReplyDeleteChuck trying to win Sarah back
Teaser 2:
Shaw
Teaser 3:
Sarah killed Shaw's wife
Teaser 4:
Sarah chooses Chuck
Teaser 5:
Chuck's over, Sarah's begins
I know that the promos are meant to make everyone crazy about the upcoming episode and that many people already wrote about this, but judging by the current promo, the flashback and your hints I really think that Sarah killed Shaw's wife. This would really give the show some suspense back and maybe drive a deep wedge between Shaw and Sarah (for all those crazy shippers).
ReplyDeleteOther than that I really appreciate your blog and the weekly podcast. So thanks for the great work!
I think it is cool that so many of you are speculating the same thing on a few of these... and are totally wrong. :) It means you will be surprised. I like that.
ReplyDeleteMagnus,
ReplyDeleteLove your site and thanks for all you do to get the word out on Chuck.
#1) Chuck's first solo assignment, Morgan/Casey/Awesome intervention, Shaw's never-ending ring quest, Sarah looking hot (mission accomplished there)
#2) Every one is guessing Shaw, so I'll be different and will guess General Beckman gives someone bad intel.
#3) Eve is still alive and runs the ring.
#4) Sarah and Chuck will try to kiss and this time they make the decision not to answer the damned phone.
#5) Chuck's burden is over (he gets Sarah) Shaw's is beginning (his wife is alive)
Thanks
BB
Thanks Magnus! This is fun and as Dr. Seuss said: Fun is good! So my first stab at this:
ReplyDeleteTeaser 1: Casey/Morgan/Awesome trying to get Sarah back for Chuck,
Shaw’s RING mission, Chuck’s new mission received after ‘passing’ his test, Chuck trying to win back Sarah – and – Sarah trying to win Chuck back
Teaser 2: Wow – I’m of two minds here – Shaw or Sarah – oh wait, what about Casey – damn, three minds = schizophrenia! Okay, not ready for this one yet
Teaser 3: I’m with Paul. Me thinks that Sarah killed Eve
Teaser 4: Chuck chooses to go to Rome on his mission w/o Sarah, forcing Sarah to act
Teaser 5: The pragmatist in me thinks it is the beginning of Shaw’s arc, so I think his burden is beginning – the optimist in me thinks that Sarah’s burden about Chuck changing ends. The fatalist in me says that Sarah’s burden thinking Chuck has become a cold blooded killer ends w/Casey’s revelation – but Chuck’s begins when he does indeed have to kill.
Really looking forward to more!
I'm not going to speculate on the teasers, since much of my thoughts are based on the apparently misleading promo for 3.12.
ReplyDeleteHowever, a question to you, Magnus (you wouldn't happen to have some nordic blood in your veins, would you?):
You admittedly have seen just as much of these episodes as we have, but based on what you know of them, do you think these next 2 episodes are going to be something you personally enjoy very much? Are they looking like season finale-type of awesomeness?
JJ
JJ, I think the next two episodes could be pretty amazing. Definitely season finale type of awesomeness. But it is all about execution so... knowing what happens is not the same as seeing it. :)
ReplyDelete1) I don't think it's the obvious one based on the promos, but I don't really have a better thought.
ReplyDelete2) I think Sarah is going to say something early on that will cause Chuck to do something stupid/disturbing to Sarah.
3) Either (a) Sarah killed Eve, which I think is too obvious, (b) Shaw's "mission" all along has been to sabotage Chuck and Sarah, so that Chuck will become the spy, which I think is too lame, (c) Jeff is an undercover Ring operative or (d) it's possible I don't have a good feel for this one.
4) Since you said these are more minor spoilers, I'm going to guess it has something to do with Ellie and here USC Neurology/Docs w/o Borders decision. This ties into my spec on 5.
5) Ellie will decide to go to Docs w/o Borders, thereby alleviating Awesome of his burden as Chuck's therapist, and forcing Morgan to take on that role more completely.
With that, I can effectively guaranty that none of the above will come to pass, as I am wrong approximately 100% of the time.
Ok here goes nothing.....
ReplyDelete1) We find out Shaw's real mission and how its different from what Team B thought.
2) Chuck. Right now he's the only one with a conscience.
3) The truth that General Beckman talked about when intriducing Shaw.
4) Ellie and Devon decide Africa over USC.
5) Chuck tells Sarah he didn't kill the mark. Sarah can't tell anyone.
Dean
Well reading everybody's speculations I find it funny that ... TPTB have conditioned us to expect cheap angst.
ReplyDeleteThrowing my hat in the ring here--hope these amuse with their wrongness if nothing else.
ReplyDelete1.) Shaw, Chuck, and Sarah are off after the Ring, with Shaw on a different path than the others. In the B plot, Casey breaks out of Buymoria and takes Awesome and/or Morgan along on some kind of "mission" to help Chuck that may end up intersecting with the A plot to get Casey back in the game. Also, Chuck is out to get Sarah back and Sarah is on a mission to encourage Chuck to preserve the sweeter, nerdier parts of himself before it's too late.
2.) Well, Casey's had his major screw-up already! Chuck messes up somehow, whether it's in reference to the end of "Final Exam" and lingering guilt or if he maybe screws up Shaw's mission.
3.) We find out a lot more information about Shaw's mission specifics and/or his loyalties.
4.) Ellie and Awesome opt for Doctors Without Borders.
5.) Shaw's burden is over as he plays out his endgame, or Casey's burden of being off the team is over. Chuck's burden of the lies and realities of spy life has just begun.
Cor
Okay here goes
ReplyDelete1)Chuck's undercover mission/Chuck's mission to win back Sarah/Team CAM mission/Shaw's mission
2)Shaw puts Team Bartowski in serious trouble
3)Something related to Eve Shaw
4)Chuck leaves Buymore/Sarah decides on Chuck
5)Sarah's burden over.Shaw's burden to begin.
Don't really have a teaser by teaser response, but maybe the multiple missions means we'll find out what the great danger is that General Beckman wanted to warn Team B about. This was at the end of 3.02, when we first saw his attempt at looking like a rebel with a zippo. I'm assuming that scene wasn't just put there to make Shaw look BA, but maybe I'm wrong
ReplyDelete- Stan
Alright here are my guesses:
ReplyDeleteTeaser 1: Promo based, so I'll keep it to myself
Teaser 2: I'm thinking Shaw finally gets his emotions involved in a mission and that screws something up. Perhaps his mistake leads to Papa B dying?
Teaser 3: I'm liking the Sarah killed Shaw's wife thing but I also think maybe Shaw's wife isn't actually dead and is instead a Ring Operative which could lead to my assumption that Shaw is the one teaser 2 is about
Teaser 4: Perhaps Morgan quits the Buy More to try and become a spy himself?
Teaser 5: Not sure on this one, but if Ellie and Awesome decide to do DWB then Awesome's burden would end and maybe that would place a burden on Morgan? Esp. if Anna comes back...not saying she will of course
What about this for a really wild speculation
ReplyDelete3) Terrible Truth:Shaw's wife is still alive and in captivity but gets killed at the end of the episode.
Teaser 1:
ReplyDeleteThere are multiple missions going on at the same time.
Obviously one would be the mission referenced in the episode synopsis, so I won’t name it. One would be based around the promo, so I won’t name that either. No idea if there will be others, but sounds like fun.
Teaser 2:
A serious mistake is made by a character that will weigh heavily on them.
I think Casey is going to be rethinking what he did for Chuck. He’s developing more humanity nowadays.
Teaser 3:
A terrible truth will be revealed.
Something about Morgan and Anna. I just feel like terrible isn’t ‘terrible’ in a Chuck, Sarah or Shaw sense.
Teaser 4:
A decision is arrived at that will change the entire shape of the show.
I feel like this is going to be Buy More related, maybe they shut the store down and characters go off to other jobs. If Chuck is gonna be a spy, which I think no matter how this shakes out, he will be, he’s going to be doing missions world wide. If there is a Season 4 (not holding my breath) but if, they wouldn’t need to keep the Buy More around and would probably need to destroy Castle since there won’t be spies around to use it anyhow.
Teaser 5:
One character's burden is over while another character's is about to begin.
No matter what happens, I think that Chuck is now going to be a full time spy and more of a world traveler. Entailed in that is all the trappings of spydom, which involves tons of lying, which is a burden on Chuck, so his burden gets more. Since he’s going to be a world traveler, I think that makes Awesome’s burden less.
Teaser 6:
General Beckman will have trouble getting her point across during a busy moment.
Morgan is going to be part of whatever this is, just sounds like him being involved.
I’m probably way off base, but I’m trying to think outside the box. Gives me something to do until next Monday!
For #6 - Well BG Beckman is tiny. It's kinda easy to overlook her. :oP
ReplyDeletePaul, hehehe... me and my insider pals laughed the most at #6.
ReplyDeleteMagnus, don't tell me #6 is a Bond-esque moment, a la the end of say The Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker...? ;o)
ReplyDeletePaul, I don't really remember those moments. I am clearly a bad Bond fan. :)
ReplyDeleteJust for the sake of clarity, Magnus, I have no desire to seriously speculate what these spoilers really mean. Like you've said before, this is just a show and I would rather be surprised when I sit down to watch it than to fall prey to the shipper's manic behavior. And I got off the subject. But I digress.
ReplyDeleteTerrible truth revealed: Ellie is a "Ring" operative, and has been given the order to eliminate Awesome ;)
John, impressive. That is the closest anyone has gotten to actually nailing one of the teasers. ;)
ReplyDeleteMagnus, here is my shot at the title…..
ReplyDelete1) As others have said. It seems obvious and is promo and synopsis based. I think the multiple missions fail up until the end of the episode, and then they will succeed to a degree.
2) Twofold… Shaw probably flubs up again and puts the entire team in danger and it will weigh on him. Chuck will probably have to save the day AGAIN. Chuck will prove to all of us that he is the real ‘American Hero’. Also, Sarah will reject Chuck’s love and she will realize what a mistake she made by doing so and it will weigh heavily on her all the way into 3.13.
3) Casey will reveal to Sarah that he pulled the trigger in Chuck’s RED test and Sarah will be revealed to the audience as Eve Shaw’s killer.
4) After giving all he has to prove his love to Sarah, Chuck believes Sarah has chosen Shaw. Believing that he has lost the girl to the so called ‘American Hero’, Chuck will remove himself from the screwed up love triangle and quickly and quietly accept his assignment to Rome. The last scene of 12 will show Chuck and a familiar redhead spy-babe traveling to Rome on an empty airplane and Sarah being too late to tell Chuck her true feelings. The second to last scene will be Morgan or Casey explaining to Sarah at Chuck’s front door that “Chuck has gone to Rome”…
5) This is also twofold. The burden of knowing Chuck never passed his RED test will be passed from Casey to Sarah. The burden of fighting for Chuck and Sarah’s future as a couple will be passed from Chuck to Sarah. Chuck will leave L.A. with a clear conscious that he did everything he possibly could do to make it work. Sarah will have the gut wrenching understanding that she did not…
6) Things probably get pretty heated between Chuck and Shaw in this scene and Beckman will be drowned out by the argument.
Cheers,
HJ
HJ, what an elaborate, well thought out series of epic fails on your part. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Thanks man! I try...
ReplyDeleteHJ
ok, I know you said you haven't seen it but you obviously know a lot about what will happen so based on the info you have, how would you score American Hero? Is this going to be better than the last 3 or somewhere in the middle or will be the worst of the bunch?
ReplyDeleteJoe
Magnus,
ReplyDeleteAt some point, are you going to let us know if anyone is close at all?
chuckfan6408, I will give you all a general idea of what might be close... but not until there are more guesses. Plus, I got nearly 20 more teasers left to give over the next 4-days. :)
ReplyDeleteJoe, like I said before, until I see it I can't give a score to an episode I have not seen. It may sound great on paper, but the execution could be terrible. 3.07 sounded a lot better on paper than it was executed. 3.08 sounded worse on paper than it was in execution. So, you never know.
Having said that, 3.12 sounds pretty great on paper. As do 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17. 3.18 and 3.19.
haha that video made me laugh! :D am i the only crazy that was screaming "JUMP" or "POWEEERR"? gosh, embarassing... haha
ReplyDeleteConversation with spirits? Is someone breaking out the JW Black? Might we get our first glimpse of Sarah hitting the bottle a bit? Never seen Sarah tipsy. That could be fun.
ReplyDelete#7 Casey goes on a raging bender, perhaps making Chuck and Awesome's Echo Park lie to Ellie a reality.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's not Ellie that is the ring agent, but Chuck and Ellie's mom.
ReplyDelete5 The truth about the red test comes out. This takes Chuck's burden away and adds a burden to Casey.
ReplyDelete1. Casey Morgan Awesome trying to get Sarah Back
ReplyDeleteSarah and Chuck... re: Shaw.
Ring trying to capture "
2. Casey telling Sarah about Chucks red test
3. Ellie decides not to take USC but chooses Doctors without borders. The show then becomes international and not Burbank based.
4. Sarah tells chuck she a)can never be with him.
b) She loves him, C) none of the above.
5. Awesome's ends and Morgans begins.
6. Chuck is freeking out and wont take no for an answer
7. Casey gets drunk and is talking out loud to his Johnney Walker Black.
Terrible truth revealed.
ReplyDeleteChuck will find out that Shaw is missing his man parts and has nothing to worry about with Sarah. Unfortunately for Chuck, he finds out that Sarah actually likes it that way and has actually been pining for Carina since 3.02. Poor Chuckie. :)
Dee
I think that could mean Shaw talking to and trying to punch a hologram, what a epic fail
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, Magnus, severe indifference activates the Intersect in my brain.
ReplyDeleteJohn
#7) Casey has a serious 1 on 1 with Jack
ReplyDeleteDean
Conversation with spirits I m sure it's Shaw, somehow he talks to Eve, though I doubt it will be a seance/hallucination, probably something techie
ReplyDeletejay
1. Mission civilize Casey. Chuck enlists the help of Morgan to civilize Casey and supress his need to kill by teaching him Duck hunt.
ReplyDelete2. Morgan gets caught holding Ellies panties again and is seriously considering therapy.
3. The terrible truth is Sarah is still a virgin.
4. Sarah decides to dump both Chuck and Shaw and give herself to Lester.
5. Casey decides to join the circus ending his burdensome spy career while Morgan decides to become a spy.
6. General Beckman tries to tell morgan he is not a spy and that Carrots, sizzeling shrimp and wearing headgear upside down will get him killed.
7. Casey after eating the other half of a giant subway sandwhich is visited by the angle of indigestion.
Let's play.
ReplyDelete1) Shaw's mission. Chuck trying to save Shaw. Sarah going after Chuck who went after Shaw. A light mission for Morgan, and Casey.
2) Considering that Shaw is the worst spy ever, I think he makes the serious mistake. Second choice: Chuck makes a mistake when he decides to save Shaw. Lol.
3) I don't know. Ok, I try. Sarah is 50 :) No, I have to think about it. So I can be wrong about this too.
4) Someone changes job. Maybe Chuck leaves the Buy More. Morgan thinks about it too.
5) Shaw is no more the boss of the team. Sarah will be the new boss. Hot, by the way^^.
6) Everyone stay in contact with Beckman during the missions and she gets confused.
7) If with spirits you mean spirits it has to be Buy More-related. But anyhow, Morgan is involved.
"I will toss out a couple that are even bigger"
I'll wait.
Wow - more - thanks! Stab #2:
ReplyDelete6. The dreamer in me sees Chuck & Sarah getting 'busy' after finally ending the charade & not even the General can stop them.
7. I think this will be Shaw thinking he is talking to his wife.
Tanx again!
Teaser 6:
ReplyDeleteGeneral Beckman will have trouble getting her point across during a busy moment.
Maybe I just have a really dirty mind, but I can't stop laughing at that one. I don't even want to guess, guessing would just ruin the fun I am having with it.
Spirits?! Is Chuck turning into Fringe? Or is it the alcohol kind of spirit ;)
ReplyDeleteWell in case no. 1 still hasn't been answered (I haven't read all the comments)
ReplyDelete1. Chuck/Sarah/Shaw spy mission Awesome/Morgan/Casey/(Chuck) have a Charah mission
2. Would guess Shaw's emotions or possibly Awesome tackling Shaw
3. Shaw is a ring agent (but that wouldn't be so terrible)
4. Very interesting... but I would guess Chuck might actually kill someone (I would hope it is Shaw but he already has another episode... unless he is in a flashback)
5. Awesome's burden is over while Morgan's begins (that would be cool... the bearded buffoon joining Chuck on a mission or two)
6. Chuck and Shaw beating the ____ out of each other
7. Casey would be my guess.... "Trying to find his calm center"... too bad he has more of an "angry center"... Might need to break out some more "feathers" for him
These are just my random guesses... but I am most confident in my guess on 1 considering NBC released that in their episode summary.
hey magnus
ReplyDeletesorry a bit confused. How come there isn't the usual preview. Have you seen this episode? What episode have you seen up to?
- Bret
Here's my shot.
ReplyDelete1)Mission #1: Chuck tries to win back Sarah, Mission #2 Shaw's quest for revenge vs. the Ring, Mission #3 Casey tries to rejoin Team Bartowski.
2)Awesome's mistake of abandoning Chuck when he needed a friend weights heavily on Awesome
3) The terrible truth is Shaw's hidden agenda
4) The decision that changes the show is that Chuck and Sarah will move forward as a couple
5)Awesome's burden of Ellie's well-being becomes Ellie's burden of Chuck's well-being
6) Beckman can't get her point across because Chuck and Sarah are "getting busy."
7) Jeff is talking to his booze (spirits)
My two cents! Don't freak out!
Bad Leg
1. There is a buy more plot happening, and spy missions. Maybe even love affairs?
ReplyDelete2. I have to go with everyone else...Shaw.
3. I really am thinking that Sarah's red test was Evelyn Shaw.
4. Chuck's going to Rome?
5. Shaw is leaving, and Chuck's spy life solo begins.
6. Tension between Shaw and Chuck, due to Sarah.
7. CHUCK AND SARAH<3.
Mark Sheppard was in the previews for next week. He was FANTASTIC in the White Collar pilot and in his recurring Leverage role. No matter what happens, I'm watching Chuck live next week.
ReplyDeleteAnd please, for the love of all that is good and holy let Captain Awesome be in the next ep. I've learned to deal w/ "Bryce-less" Chuck.
Awesome-less Chuck, worst nightmare come true.
And no, I don't want to guess the spoilers. :) I'm just going to sit back Monday night and let the writers shock and entertain me. Like they've been doing all season.
I was going to post more teasers but since I now find out people are just posting them all over the Internet and not linking back to me (you can't post my content but you can post a link to it).
ReplyDeleteI am not going to continue to create hits for them at my expense. So, going to see if there is a way to prevent that from happening. Probably not but... research time. Maybe I can just expose them for everyone to see. Maybe embarrassment will stop them... probably not.
Oh damnit, who killed our spoilers? *punches a hologram*
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious the answer to all of these teasers is Jeffster. DUH.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE a total douche. They did nothing wrong and now you are acting like a freaking two year old. Calm down, it's just a TV show. Jerk.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am the douche for creating the content and then telling them to take it down. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. This is the mentality of the person who posted it and then told me off for being upset about it. This is obviously, Natalya (the person who did the deed) posting anonymously, or one of her friends.
ReplyDeleteHilarious. Oh well, just when the fight was dying down. I do love a good war.
While you should be sourced correctly (linked to) if another site posts your teasers (or whatever), by stopping all the teasers just because of one other group/site/whatever does in fact make you a bit of a douche.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I love this site and the fact that you are even giving spoilers in the first place. But by saying there will be spoilers and then refusing post them because some other place posted them without sourcing you is just punishing the rest of the readers of this site instead of them.
Frankly this is the Internet and there is nothing you can really do to prevent spread of information other than simply not positing that info.
Yes it was a dick move for them to post these teasers without a link back but it really is an equally dick move on your part to stop posting spoilers for your fans after you promised them such, thus punishing them instead of the offending site (Which your truly can't do anything about).
Just to make it clear, I am not affiliated with the offending site and at this time they do appear to have linked back to this post. I am just a fan of this site personally and feel a bit offended that because of some random site you aren't going to provide your fans with what they come here for (which really will just drive some fans away if that kind of thing becomes regular).
I don't feel I am entitled to teasers and spoilers and discussion of such, it's your choice to post them, but that is what I come here for.
TL;DR: I am a fan of this site but you ARE being a douche.
It's your content to do with as you please so you can be upset if you want. We love you Magnus. Don't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch of..well, you get the point. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is Natalya. And that WASN'T me, nor Hayley (I just asked her) that posted that comment. Thank you to whoever that was for being on our side.
ReplyDeleteHi,Magnus , my name is Alberto and i am from Brazil, i follow your blog on the twitter and here of course. Congratulations man, i´ve done a incredible job! About the warnning you´re totally rigth, it´s your job so fight for! Here in Brazil Chuck have a solid e devoted fan base we love the show, but we don´t have the chance to watch live . We cheer the ratings improve and Chcuk get a 4 season . About the teasers I think Sarah picks Shaw and Chuck decide to embraces the spy life than Casey tell the truth and shetries to get the geek back! I think de extra 6 episodes turn all over the show dynamics, now Sarah runs after Chuck and she is his redenption! Meanwhile he pass to the " Dark side of the force"( sorry can´t avoid rsrsrsr) she tries to remember him the adorable qualities she fall for and he fights agnist because his heartborken and want a new direction for life!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the long post, and keep the great job with the blog!
Alberto
You see? Natalya still thinks this is my fault. What an amazing human being. Thanks for supporting us? YOU ARE IN THE WRONG. She still doesn't think she did anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteRyan, well... until that last bit, I was kind of being swayed. But then you called me a douche and that made me think you are a douche so now we are a douchie impasse.
Alberto, thanks. :)
To be fair Magnus I think both sides are being a bit douchie in this situation. On the Internet it is hard to keep anything from spreading illegally. It doesn't make it right but there's nothing you can do to stop it. Moreover, they did comply with linking back to here while at first they were being douches. At this point continuing to hold this little embargo even after they have complied is just hurting your fans (like myself) and that is the part that is making you douchie at the time being.
ReplyDeleteI mean you can hold a grudge and make everyone else suffer or you can just be a bit angry about what happened but settle with the fact that they have linked back to this article as per your request.
Ryan, I was upset because these were people I tried to help out. I expected them to be cool to me in return. Natalya was the opposite. Now they are asking their buddies to attack me. If you think I am the douche for holding MY CONTENT, then so be it. But a lack of appreciation for what content I do provide certainly is not motivating me to post it. You are not going to guilt me into it. I just don't work like that. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything worthwhile on the internet will be stolen. There is no stopping that. If everybody stopped posting content because they were afraid it was going to be stolen, the internet would be a pretty sucky place, wouldn't it.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably better not to post anything anyway. While I do read what spoilers I find, it really is better going in blind.
Magnus, I love and appreciate your blog and hope you continue giving us teasers! I am sorry for the spoiled sports though, and those who aren't linking your to your blog!
ReplyDeleteIt is the people who posted the spoilers off site that are douches not Magnus. It is completely irrational to blame him for withholding content. Sure it sucks for the rest of us who respect the rules, but it would suck more if the morons who misused info got it.
ReplyDeleteM.
Thanks. It is kind of funny that this happened now because the next batch was pretty good stuff. Oh well, at least they only got the lame spoilers. Not the massively juicy ones. Mwuahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteHi Magnus,
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome, love your podcasts, they are so cool and the way you keep telling us to calm the ... down is really cool, this is why I keep watching chuck because I have faith that it will be resolved in the end the charrah situation, by the way you said in your last preview of chuck vs the final exam that he gets some dark news and takes it well you know chuck like, what was that news mate? Oh and I think next ep will not be a shipper episode as I think they will keep that untill ep 13
Amrit, the kill mission was what I meant. He is first angry but then he deals with it in his own Chuck way.
ReplyDeleteHi Magnus,
ReplyDeleteHere is a thought to all those shippers out there, when chuck gave casey the gun and said i finished my mission, i knew by caseys look that he knew the mission was no way near over and followed chuck to protect him, how does casey who is just a friend know that chuck would not kill and is not a killer and yet sarah who used to love chuck not know this. I mean is she that emotionally messed up by watching chuck change over the season that she learnt nothing from tic tac when he put friends first that he could never ever do that . She even told shaw that he may freeze and die, she basically sent him out to die, how can the series clear that up in a respectable way if they are to get together in the end, if they are and the fans are to be appeased. By the way I love that casey has come so far along that he cares enough for chuck to follow him and protect his friend and risk his freedom. There is some major growth there and that is awesome.
WOW! I just flashed.... back to grade school. C'mon Magnus, your being as bad as the crazy shippers with all this drama. They fixed it and it's not a big deal, so why not just be the mature one and let it go.
ReplyDeleteMagnus, your probably my favorite person in the fanbase, but you've been disappointing me lately. First yesterday you basically tell everyone they can basically kiss the show goodbye and that there is no hope and now this today.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with wanting people to visit your blog and give you credit where credit is due. You certainly deserve it. But what they did isn’t the end all and be all of wrongdoings either. They didn't plagiarize your work. They quoted you, cited you and linked back to your site. It's something that is done all of the time on the internet even on the most professional of sites. Yes, they could have paraphrased it, and really should have, but the commotion you are making is kind of ridiculous, especially since they removed it and no harm was done. Now your kind of baiting the whole fanbase to hate them not to mention punishing everyone out there for the mistakes of the few and I think that's a little childish of you. You've already "exposed" them, as you said and now it's time to be a bigger person and move on. No harm, no foul.
And as far as giving up hope on the ratings, if that's what you want to do then all the more power to you. It's your life and your opinion and I very well respect it. But you have made yourself a mascot for the entire fandom. You climbed your way to the top and people look up to you for guidance and advice. You telling them that the show is gone and that there is nothing they can do is not very motivational and actually quite depressing. You have some people hanging on your every word and while, again, it's your opinion, I think you should be trying to motivate people.
Maybe that is your way of motivation, since most of what you do is reverse psychology-like (your "evil plans" as you say). But it could have the exact opposite effect. It might work perfectly for some and they may go out and preach the good word of Chuck. But I've already in the past 24 hours seen people saying "Oh, well Magnus said it's over and we should just enjoy the last few and not dwell so I'm with him." They aren't going to advocate or spread the word. They are going to think there is nothing that they can do and sit at home and just hope for the best. I know another campaign will not work, but sitting and giving up without even the hope of renewal is a pretty sad thing.
Anyway, I know you'll probably make fun of me now or put me down and that's fine. That's how the blog is. I know it and at times I love it.
I'm just saying that you are a hero to not only me but countless other members of the Chuck fandom and like it or not (but we both know you love it, lol) you have to set an example for others. And acting this way with the spoiler situation and giving up on the show is really disappointing for me to see. :-(
Still love la, hope this all blows over.
JR
Magnus, keep up the good work. Only you can prevent a church split, or rather a Chuck split.
ReplyDeleteJR, I responded based on what I was told. You want me to lie to you? There is no master plan at work here. This is what I was told. NBC is not going to renew. Does that mean we should stop trying to get people into the show? Of course not. If the ratings somehow jump up over the next 8 weeks and the rest of NBC's programming takes a dive, then I am sure NBC could change their mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd what I said was that I am not going to stress over renewal. I don't think there is anything we can do about it more than we have been doing. There is no magic pill. If you want to believe there is, then fine. But I am not going to pretend there is. And if you want to blame me for people accepting a cancellation, then that is fine. You are being unreasonable anyway in your assessment of me so why stop now?
As for the other site doing what everyone does... not true. Those who appreciate the proper etiquette do NOT do what they did. Also, I helped them whenever they asked. I promoted them and provided them with info. I even warned them of this issue when Jace from Televisionary had a problem with it. And then they did it to me and I told them to take it down. It was Natalya who decided to attack me in return and then ask her psychotic friends to jump in. So, you want to defend them? I guess that is how you roll. I know I am in the right. I don't bother fighting when I know I am wrong.
Anonymous, I don't care about being the mature one. I care about being shown the proper respect from people I help. Maybe it is people like you who need to grow up. Do the right thing, even by people you don't like. Or suffer the consequences. I did not do them wrong. I responded to them wronging me.
ReplyDeleteWhen all is said and done...
ReplyDeleteMore is said then done
Magnus, you've got it wrong. I'm definitely not on their side. They shouldn't have done what they did. I may not have all of the facts, but from what I've been taught if you quote someone officially with quotation marks, cite your source and, in the case of the internet, provide a link, then it is not plagiarism. If I am wrong in this then I apologize, as I said that is what I have been taught. It is only plagiarism if you do not cite or claim work as your own. My rule of thumb is always paraphrase but others don't use that mantra. If they did not do these things then they are in the wrong. I never said that they were in the right. I'm Team Magnus all the way.
ReplyDeleteWhat I said, or perhaps rather what i meant by all of that, was that both sides are making a rather awkward scene. They shouldn't have called you names, it's very childish of them. But responding to them in the same childish manner only makes you seem childish as well. I know you said you don't care about being the mature one and that you care about respect. 99% of the people in this fandom DO respect you and the other one percent you will never be able to change. Fighting with them and calling them names in return is not going to change that. If they want to be jerks, let them be jerks and move on. You won the battle, they took it down, and you can win the war by just ending it and saying "forget you guys, I have better things to do."
And punishing the entire fandom, the ones who love and support you, because of a few jerks isn't going to do anyone any good. It just makes people unhappy and the jerks win. Regardless, it's your work to do with what you please and if you don't want to publish it, then more power to you. But not publishing it because your afraid someone else might take it or because you want vengeance isn't useful to anyone, not even yourself.
As far as the renewal situation, no I don't want to be lied to. I appreciate your straightforwardness by telling us "Look, with these numbers we aren't going to get anywhere." But even you yourself just said that if the numbers can make their way back up then there is the CHANCE of renewal. All people need to hear is that there is a chance and they will have hope. Like you said, there really isn't much we can do at this point but HOPE for the best. I was just making an observation (not blaming you at all since I know you are an advocate of the show and are even a reason we got a third season) of what others around the internet are saying so that maybe you can realize how many people out there do actually live on your every word.
I don't think my assessment of you is unreasonable at all. I called you a hero to the fandom, and that's what you are. Do you disagree? Because many people would agree with me. I also said that you are a role model and a mascot for the fandom. And a rather good one at that, your not crazy (yet anyway :-). But I think you would also agree that a role model also has the added responsibility of setting an example for those who follow him. If you and I disagree with that statement then it is just a matter of different worldviews but I think most would say the same thing.
Regardless, I never meant to step on any toes. Like I said, I am a huge fan and completely Team Magnus. But this situation is just awkward all around for everyone involved and I guess I, like most people on here, just want it to end as quickly as possible so we can go back to focusing on the one thing that brings us together, our love of this show.
JR
JR, you are wrong. You CANNOT post the content of the site. YOU CANNOT QUOTE IT even. You can summarize it or you can quote it as part of an article (this falls under Fair Use anyway) but you may NOT copy and paste it even if you cite it, link it, and praise it to God.
ReplyDeleteEveryone with any decency knows this. No admin on any site would do what Natalya did unless they are newbies or jerks. It was wrong and she knew it. She overreacted because she KNEW she had done something wrong and didn't like me pointing it out.
As for your comments about me withholding content, DID YOU READ WHAT I WROTE? I said it was temporary while I figure out a way to better secure it. So, you got a little less content today and you are giving my grief? Why didn't you complain to the person who created this problem? Oh, that's right... because I am a "hero of the fandom" so I deserve it more?
And the renewal issue... people only latched onto the comment about what I was told. That is not my fault. I can't control how much of what I say people decide to talk about or remember. I never said there was no chance that the show couldn't survive. I am just the messenger. I have no power over NBC or WB.
If you want the situation to end, then why are you making such a big deal out of it? I looked on their site... I didn't see any comment from you to them about it. So, if you are Team Magnus, why am I the only one you have a problem with?
Finally, I provide this information to the fandom at my own expense. I decided weeks ago that I cared more about providing an honest and desirable set of content for the fans than I did about being liked by NBC or WB. So, I put myself and my reputation with them on the line FOR the fans. I get nothing out of it. So, when you burn me, I see no reason to give you more.
I don't get anything from NBC or WB, unlike other fan sites. I don't get set visit invites. I don't get scripts (at least from them). I acquire everything on my own (via my sources). That is how I am able to provide you all with everything I have. The rest of the sites want to be popular with the network/studio. I don't. I thought I was doing the fandom a solid by rewarding it with content. So when someone violates my generosity and trust and then craps on me for it, I suppose I get a little aggro. :) Don't appreciate that, then I don't see why I should continue to provide you with content.
It is my ball... and I am happy to go home with it.
Magnus,
ReplyDeleteYour House, your Rules man.....to paraphrase Morgan Guillermo Grimes. People stealing your stuff is not cool, and people calling you out on your own blog is even less so. Hope you find a way to secure your ocntent, so you can keep giving us the good stuff. And thanks for your efforts!
Re the ratings - I'm from Australia (hence the handle) so all I can do is sit and hope - but, I read somewhere that Warner Brothers owns a TV channel (CW I think). Any chance that they could put Chuck on there? No point owning a TV channel if you can't put your own shows on it!
I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it. I was just trying to express my feelings without resorting to "Yeah Magnus, right on! Those guys are douches and you should just post more" because it's immature and in the end all they want is their damn spoilers. I don't care about the spoilers, I just want to go back to having fun talking about my favorite show. Sorry if it sounded like I had a problem with you, next time I'll just phrase it like a five year old who just wants a cookie ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd why am I not on the other people's site complaining? Because I have never been to their site and if there is one thing you have accomplished with all of this it's me NEVER going to their site. It's that the point of all of this? If you want me to go complain I will but that just seems to me like it would cause more problems. If they come on here, which I saw that they did, then they can read what I wrote and know I'm on your side. Otherwise, they aren't worth my time and they shouldn't be worth yours.
Anyway, if I didn't say it enough before because your convinced I have a problem with you, I DO appreciate what you do with your entertaining discussions and views on the show. I hope I came off this time as more of a friend and not a foe and if not them I'm damned either way.
JR
I can only speak for myself Magnus, but I appreciate everything you've done. (And if your coolness to the fans is why you don't have a screener for these episodes than boo to screener people!) You spend so much time making this blog, updating it all the time and reading all of these posts (and who knows how many that don't even make it to the light of day) and answer them, and spreading the word on twitter and talking with all of the fans and making the podcast--all of it. And you deserve to be credited, and you (as you already know, I think we've established that you know everything by now ;D) have every right to be mad at them for whatever they said/did to you. You also have the right to withhold content, if only for a while, from them/us. Thanks for all you've done, and thank you for your honesty, brutal as it can be.
ReplyDeleteSincerely, (corny, I know)
-reesespuff27
Also: What the heck does #7 even mean? Seriously, I don't get that one....
Wait, people still care about being mature? Where's my memo!?!? D=
ReplyDelete-reesespuff27
JR, so anyone who supports me and thinks the site did me wrong has the mentality of a five-year old? No, why would anyone take that offensively?!
ReplyDeleteListen, I am going to take down anyone who screws with me, especially if I have been cool to them before. That site did NOTHING for me. I did try to help them. They then wronged me. If you think I am somehow going to back off without any satisfaction, you are mistaken. I am relentless. It is how I got to this point. I will not be taken for granted and I have no fear of losing everything. So, I will keep this up until I receive what I deserve. A public apology from them and an acceptance of fault from Natalya.
And if you think that is immature/childish, then that is what it will be in your mind. It is how I operate. Don't like it. Don't come here. Don't follow me. Demonize me. It really doesn't matter as much to me as being treated with the respect I have earned.
ReplyDeletereeses, you are such a 5-year old! How dare you be positive toward me?!
ReplyDeleteNo worries. I might just invite you into my circle of trust and share it all with you. :)
#7 was almost "Someone has a sobering conversation with spirits" if that helps you. ;)
ROFL, I am such a 5-year old! ;D And man, does that help! I was thinking 'There is no way this show is going Ghost Whisperer on us.....?' xD
ReplyDelete-reesespuff27
reeses, wouldn't that have been awesome? Oh wait, no. The next few spoilers were going to really rock the fandom but Natalya just told me she will not apologize so... shrug. Out of my hands. My actions are dictated my code. :)
ReplyDeleteJust so you all know, Natalya has now effectively threatened to post material anytime I post it so that she can keep it out of everyone's hand. She will say that is a lie but she told me that she is happy that I stopped posting spoilers.
ReplyDeleteSo, when it is reposted elsewhere, you know who did it. She WANTS to keep the spoilers from being posted. Thank her.
i am also from Australia and really like the show. There is nothing I can do to help - at least i don't think so - any ideas? and in all seriousness - WHAT EPISODE HAVE YOU WATCHED UP TO?
ReplyDeleteyour doing a great job though - I was just wondering so to know what point you too can start speculating ie after 3.13?
- Maddie
Maddie, I have not seen any more episodes than you. I just know what happens for much of the rest of the season. :)
ReplyDeletehaha thanks
ReplyDeleteand ps - do you ever sleep? Its 7pm here it must be so early
maddie
maddie, I can't say I sleep... much. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! If Chuck would go Ghost Whisperer on us I would probably still watch it. Man, I'm really bad off with this whole "Chuck" thing. 0_0
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope the picture teaser format works out.
-reesespuff27
P.S. Thanks a freaking lot, Natalya. >:[ "This is NOT AWESOME"! And Magnus, if I see anyone else posting your stuff I'm gonna tell you. This is ticking me off too now.
Damn, those people ruined a nice game. I wanted to know how much I was wrong. But I understand your point of view. And I agree with you. Unfortunately we won't have the really good spoilers :)
ReplyDeleteSo last night I logged off looking forward to another day of Chuckgasmic fun only to be greeted this morning with the news that war has broken out and people are taking sides. Once again I am faced with the sad reality that this show that I am so passionate about has been the cause of such anger and hostility. We’ve seen it on Twitter, in the forums and on the blogs and I’m left wondering how such a nice, feel good show could do this. How could people’s love for this show cause such different reactions and lapses of good judgment?
ReplyDeleteI’m not a lawyer so I won’t get into the legality of all this, but Magnus is right. This is his content. Quoting, citing, copy & pasting of someone else’s original content is morally wrong. The name of the game on the web is traffic, and a site that does this is diverting traffic. It also minimizes the thought and work put in by the person who originally created the content. I am amazed at the number of replies Magnus gives us. I look at the times he responds and wonder if he gets any sleep at all. It’s obvious to me that this web site is a labor of love and its just wrong for readers to transform it into unrequited love. It’s just wrong.
Magnus, thanks for a fun day yesterday. It brightened my mood and I’m sure countless others who really need to have our mood brightened. I hope there will be more. If not, I can be disappointed, but I do understand.
To whoever you are out there ~ whatever website you are that has instigated this war, the ball is your court. It’s your choice. Sometimes, choices are difficult, but really, I can’t see how this one is. But it’s not my choice so:
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."
— Dr. Seuss (Oh, the Places You'll Go!)
Natalya sounds like a ho...for sho.
ReplyDeleteWill you mention her on your next podcast? If so please go with the unedited format again lol.
Hilarity will ensue.
- DD
Dr. Seuss, I don't sleep so it does give me a lot of time for responding. Well, I sometimes sleep. Like, I am thinking about doing it later. As for fighting and crap within the fan base, we are all humans. It makes no difference what show the fandom is about, it comes down to respect. If you don't respect someone, especially someone who has helped you and tried to do whatever you asked, then they are going to react. And I am certainly someone who protects his stuff as fiercely as anyone. I haven't had to do it in a while but whenever it happens, I go to war. :) Had Natalya reacted honorably/morally, this would have ended in e-mails.
ReplyDeleteDD, you can bet that I will not just mention her but dig deep into everyone who involved themselves in this. It should be a blast.
Why are people getting so offended if you don't post spoilers? It's your content. You're being extremely vague and it isn't ruining the upcoming episode. If you have fun doing it and we have fun reading it why does someone have such a problem that they are trying to ruin it for everyone else? If you want someone to link your site rather than cutting and pasting why is that a problem? They are still getting traffic on their site and you're getting extra from theirs. When did internet spoilers become a cut throat business? I'm with you Magnus. If she wants your spoilers then she has to link your site. It's just the way it goes.
ReplyDeleteDee
Dee, I have been involved in an even more cut-throat spoiler "business." Now that one was ugly. There are some crazy behind the scenes things related to this fandom (some pretty ugly stuff that you all don't know about... yet), but it is nowhere near some others. I have seen full-on wars between sites for a couple of shows and several movies. Things that resulted in lawsuits.
ReplyDeleteAnd why? Because people take their content seriously. There is no reason why one site should get away with taking content from another. As you say, they can get just as many hits posting the content as they can posting a link. So, why behave immorally? It is stupid.
So, when can we expect a very special episode of Chuck You Tuesday: Behind the Spoilers?
ReplyDelete- Stan
Whenever something like this happens, there is no doubt a great deal of jealousy involved. Your sources seem to be quite a bit better than everyone else's, so the best that they can do to keep their site relevant is rip off someone else.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lot of time and tolerance for a lot of those sites. I come here because I found the conversation to be humorous, interesting, original and helpful to keep things going between installments of Chuck. I think it sucks that people steal intellectual property that is rightfully the result of the time and effort put in by another person. Magnus, as you've said many times, it's your ball and you can go home with it.
That said, I'm assuming that you must do this because you enjoy it, and from what you've been told, you are running out of time to do this stuff with the fans. For you and us, I'd hate to see a couple of thieves steal that.
I respect whatever decision you make, but from where I sit, we are about to embark on a pretty wild ride which, at best, is going to have a bittersweet ending for all involved. I think you, me and everyone else who is a passionate fan of the show should do what we can to enjoy the next two months. For you, hopefully that means teasing and berating your posters for sport. For my part, I hope it involves coming here and trying to decode your hints, and occasionally being the brunt of your joke. If it doesn't, well, it was fun while it lasted.
Best...
Stan, I promise that whenever the show ends (we can hope in 5 years), the final Chuck You Tuesday will tell ALL (except for like names of sources etc... nothing that will get anyone in trouble).
ReplyDeletechuckfan6408, oh you are playing on my romantic side now. Sigh. I guess I can let go of my pride a tad (but not too much.... must be ready for war at all times) and post the next round of spoilers.
Hmmm... fine. Let's see what happens.
AHHH!!!! Magnus thank you so much! but i cant read the end of the teasers oh my god the stress!!
ReplyDeleteYou can't read the end? Why? It should work. I have every browser known to man and woman and it works on them all. :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know why its so stressfull!! the last three are much bigger than the rest and its cutting off the last words! help :(
ReplyDeleteRefresh. :)
ReplyDelete8) I'm going to take the obvious guess which is Shaw lol.
ReplyDelete9) Chuck asks Sarah if she loves him maybe?
10) This one has my mind all over the place, possibly Shaw gives the Ring Intel in exchange for information about his wife or something?
- DD
I tried and it didnt work. Panic over now just closed explorer and sharted again :) my god that cant have been good for my blood pressure lol
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why you are having problems. Try holding down SHIFT while reloading. Or try holding down the CTRL key while scrolling your mouse back and forth (which zooms in and out).
ReplyDeleteDD, good guesses.
Thank you for the extra teasers Magnus! =D
ReplyDelete#8 MET WITH SILENCE!?!? D'x the shipper in me hopes the question in mind is met with a kiss.
#9 I wonder who.....?
#10 Unforgivable. Shaw almost dies but is saved by someone. Boo.
-reesespuff27
I think theres only one character I would be okay with 8 being about.... :S
ReplyDeleteand the others well...
Thankyou for posting these spoilers! Thank you soo soo much!!!
These latest hints lead me to think that something I've been speccing for a while is going to come to fruition, namely that someone threatens Sarah/Ellie/Awesome/Morgan, and Chuck has to kill to save her, ala Santa Claus in reverse.
ReplyDeleteAt some point, Chuck will have to kill someone in this show, and I think the only way that happens is for him to be doing it to protect someone. I'm not sure if that qualifies as unforgivable, but Sarah has not, thus far been willing to look at circumstances surrounding Chuck's changes this season.
Man, I screwed up the order. #FAIL
ReplyDelete-reesespuff27
I like to see Casey reinstated,Chuck & Sarah as a couple again all 3 working together. They do better as a team. I don't want Ellie turning to the bad guys side trying to knock off Awesome. That would be bad.
ReplyDeleteHi Magnus, thanks for posting the next round. I hope your new format works. After reading through the different comments, I have to agree with you. It seems their strategy was to outright use your content to get more traffic while deflecting traffic from your site. It was wrong, and you have every right to protect your content. Thanks for finding a way to continue to post your info while also protecting it.
ReplyDeleteOn to guesses on the new spoilers you released:
7- I would guess Sarah
8 - My initial reaction was Chuck to Sarah, but after considering other information, I don't think that'll be it. I have no idea who though.
9 - I'm going to assume it's "unforgivable" in a funny way (i.e. Morgan and the condom in colonel), and guess Awesome or Morgan
BC
Its working now thanks magnus!
ReplyDeleteare DD's guesses good guesses or really good guesses?
I think you may be right chuckfan6408. :(
ReplyDeleteHeh, I have been saying for 2-seasons now that Chuck will have to kill someone and that it would have to be to save a life. I am sure I said it a dozen times on my podcast. But is that it? Shrug.
ReplyDeleteAnd DD's guesses were good... but not really good. ;)
I wouldn't mind Chuck killing people. Especially not if it were to save someone's life. I mind that it hurts Sarah so much and I don't want to go through that again, but for real this time.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokin' cr*p, Batman! Take off for the evening and then come back and read all of this! Stand your ground, Magnus Anton Lekay - it's your site and your content and no one has the right to plagierize it.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the teasers go, I am coming up with pretty obvious answers which means they are probably wrong. I just hope in the long run all works out with Chuck and Sarah, and Casey gets reinstated. Shaw needs to go bye-bye. Awesome and Ellie need to reproduce and make lots of little pretty people.
Out of interest do you have any idea if/when we'll get a canadian promo?
ReplyDeleteThank you Magnus.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea when the Canadians will ruin the best scene in the episode or ruin the whole episode with their ridiculously cheesy announcer. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteMagnus, I see you rejected my comment yesterday regarding promos/synopses. May I ask why that was deemed inappropriate?
ReplyDeleteMagnus,
ReplyDeleteDo you at this point see Shaw as being a main character in the show or still just a guest star?
DD
Ted, I get like 200 comments per day... I have no idea why yours was rejected or even if it was. Sometimes comments hang and die.
ReplyDeleteDD, great question. But I will not answer. :)
I just want to clarify, although you probably don't care at all lol...
ReplyDeleteMe (- DD) and DD are 2 different people.
I just don't want to be confused with him/her.
- DD
Then I hope one of you changes their name. :)
ReplyDeleteAw man, that announcer is horrible! Sadly more often then not I choose to subject myself to it. I wouldn't mind if we didn't get another promo though.
ReplyDelete8. The main character marked for Death is Morgan. When he beats Casey in their game of Duck Hunt Casey pulls out a gun target tee shirt and makes Morgan wear it.
ReplyDelete9. Chuck runs into a building alone and sees a gigantic bomb loaded with squeekey toys and asks the question, " is that going to explode"
10. Casey after being visited by the angel of indigestion will puke on Sarah and she forgot to bring extra clothes.
BJ, that was brilliant.
ReplyDelete8) Chuck
ReplyDelete9) I don't think Chuck will ask Sarah if she loves him. But maybe something like that. He will ask if she wants to go to Rome with him. Molto bene.
10) Chuck saves Shaw. Lol.
Just so you know, now because you called his thoughts on those teasers brilliant, someone will post them on the NBC board like they are fact.
ReplyDelete"Casey pukes on Sarah this episode! No seriously, Magnus said so!"
This is how gullible those people are.
(I'm not joking)
-DD
-DD, I doubt it but that would be funny. NBC forum mods would never let someone state one of my spoilers since I am an "unofficial" source.
ReplyDeleteFunny how unofficial sources are always so much cooler than official ones. ;)
Interesting name Magnus. I am assuming its a spoof on anton lavey. Don't know if I think the founder of the church of satan would be a chuck fan though.
ReplyDeleteP.S. - if the shocking thing about the Sarah/Shaw relationship is tied with the burden thing, Sarah better not be preggo...
Sigh... it is my real name.
ReplyDeleteIt will be there for like 5-10 minutes depending on time of day then it disappears lol.
ReplyDeleteThey should just make your name show up as ****** and call it a day.
Someone posted the other day after listening to your latest podcast about Sarah becoming prego with Shaw's baby. This in conjunction with the random Auseillo teaser about someone being pregnant on a show soon (he didn't name the show) had people freaking out for a little while.
Pretty hilarious to read.
-DD
-DD, that is pretty darn funny. I am surprised they even let me name be mentioned since I am enemy #1 over there. Those admins HATE me. The whole ass-soul-scar podcast (that I removed... and should not have) did not endear me to them. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! BJ, you are a genius! "Is that going to explode?"
ReplyDelete8) Chuck is marked to death.
ReplyDelete9) Shaw asks Sarah if there is a future for them. Sarah won't answer. But it's clear there is not.
10) Chuck kills somebody. This is unforgivable for him. Morgan will do something that Casey will consider unforgivable. So it could be anything :)
I hope it is not something that Chuck does and that Sarah consider unforgivable. It's time for her to begin to forgive Chuck :)
Entropy Bro - your blog has moved from Order to Chaos... sorry.
ReplyDeleteIve had a couple interesting discussions about this strange sense of entitlement in our society:
- Just too much sin and selfishness in our world.
- only option would be to admin a pay site -
or have a members only area that is password protected.
One quick question: Does 3.12 start right where the Exam ends [ continuation?]
Or does it start with [vague] time has passed beginning?
Nice work on the hints - clues...
Won't even hazzard to guess - just enjoying the ride.
Cheers - the Gringo Chuck Fan
Ah _____. I am hoping Chuck doesn't ask the question of Sarah and get met with silence, or that Sarah isn't the one doing something unforgivable. The writers need to start mending the C/S fence and Sarah's character in particularly needs to be on the upwing toward Chuck soon if any resolution in 13 is to believed.
ReplyDeleteLove the teasers!
Magnus--quick question--about renewal. Does your source say NBC has made up its mind for sure or is this just a vibe your souce is getting or something they are predicting, but not based on NBC already having told the show runners.
1. In addition to the main spy mission, Casey decides he's in love with Sarah and does a daring mission to win her affection.
ReplyDelete2. Sarah made the mistake of doing it with Shaw and is now pregnant with his baby.
3. Sarah killed Chuck's mother AND Shaw's wife...they're the same person! Chuck's mother abandoned her children and husband because she ran off to be with Shaw when they were young.
4. Ellie and Awesome decide to get a divorce. She becomes the center of a new love quadrangle with Jeff, Lester, and Morgan competing for her affection.
5. Chuck no loves Sarah and embraces the single life. Casey and Sarah, meanwhile, must deal with their newfound attraction to each other.
6. Beckman wants to give an order, but she can't because she's too busy making out with Shaw, her new love interest.
7. The ghost of Chuck's mother/Shaw's wife appears to them and reveals her killer.
8. Chuck and Shaw decide they will kill Sarah as vengeance (see 3 and 7).
9. Ellie asks Awesome why he's keeping secrets from her and if he loves her anymore. Awesome walks out and gets a new house as they separate to work out their issues.
10. Zombie Emmett comes back and thinks Big Mike sent the Ring agent to kill him. He swears he will have his revenge...and resolves to steal Morgan's mother from Big Mike.
Forgot my guesses.
ReplyDeleteI think Shaw is already marked for death. I'll go with Chuck and maybe as a result Sarah ends up in harm's way--thus the justified kill at some point.
Shaw asks Sarah a relationship question, she doesn't answer, giving him his answer. The kiss we see in the promo might be a goodbye kiss or one he initiates and she pulls back from (although Sarah has her hand on his face in a welcoming gesture).
Hmmm-unforgivable. Pretty broad. Could be something funny haha unforgivable ala tunaroni. Hard to say. Shaw is just unforgivable by existing. :-)
1) There are multiple missions going on at the same time. -> Spy mission and Chuck’s mission to win Sarah over.
ReplyDelete2) A serious mistake is made by a character that will weigh heavily on them. -> Chuck allows someone to find out about Casey’s intervention.
3) A terrible truth will be revealed. -> Chuck’s mother revealed to be alive, and RING.
4) A decision is arrived at that will change the entire shape of the show. -> The General has a final decision on Shaw/Sarah/Chuck’s assignments/role(s).
5) One character’s burden is over while another character’s is about to begin. -> Can’t take a stab at this without it sounding like ridiculous fanfic
6) General Beckman will have trouble getting per point across during a busy moment. -> Not sure, but I hope speculation in previous comments that this involves Morgan is true :D
7) Someone has a conversation with Spirits. -> Chuck, as a vivid dreamer perhaps speaks with his mother in a dream or something (or Casey gets wrecked, causing Awesome to decapitate yet another bear :D)
8) A main character is marked for death. -> Shaw? Or will the Ring now officially mark Chuck for death too?
9) Someone asks a powerful question… and is met with silence. -> Would think it’s the “do you love me?”, but Magnus has already stated that is in the back 6… so not sure.
10) At least one main character will do something unforgivable. -> Shaw ends up recklessly endangering Chuck/Sarah somehow.
Gwindor got them all right! Ok, no he didn't.
ReplyDeletePrincess, none of my sources say NBC has made up its mind. They all say it is currently unlikely to happen. There are apparently a few scenarios where it could be picked up for a 4th season but I am not discussing them right now because I don't want to give anyone false hope until... well, there is some false hope to turn into real hope. :) Keep telling people to watch LIVE.
Magnus,
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up and don't let the rat bastards get you down.
Marked for Death - Casey is reinstated and he shows the "Death threat hand" to Jeff and Lester.
Unanswered question - Ellie asks Awesome if he really wants to go to Africa
Unforgivable act - Beckman makes Morgan a part of the team (at least unforgivable to Casey)
Alright Magnus, here goes...
ReplyDelete8) Morgan is mistaken for Shaw and tracked down by the Ring's sexiest agent.
9) Jeff and Lester ask Casey what he thinks of their stage presence. Casey can't even muster the strength to say anything nice. Silence ensues.
10) Big Mike talks trash about Morgan's mom in front of employees. Morgan is not amused.
Again, not seriously speculating about any of these.
Hi magnus,
ReplyDeletebefore the last two episodes the women at nbc who runs it said that she was quite pleased with how chuck was coming along and people at other sources said that with nbc shows all tanking especially leno than chuck has a better than average chance. Also ausellio's prediction table has chuck at a reasonable chance to be renewed, maybe if there is a great resolution in ep 12 or 13 between chuck and sarah the ratings will sky rocket and also the epic season finale that nbc will have to renew chuck, lets hope anyway. The back order may just save chuck if it is epic enough!
6) General Beckman tries to communicate with the Castle, but two people are really "busy". So she disconnect. Then riconnect. And disconnect again. Funny moment.
ReplyDeleteSome of these answers are so creative! Completely wrong but so creative! I love it.
ReplyDeleteAmrit, the woman who runs what at NBC?
ReplyDeleteIn any event, things changed when CHUCK got a 1.9 two episodes in a row. That is a terrible sign. It needed a 2.4 at least.
I'm joking of course. :) I just thought I'd take "Chuck has turned into a soap opera!" and run with it.
ReplyDeleteMagnus please dont upset me...
ReplyDeleteI know ur probably right (que quivering bottom lip)....
but i really dont wanna face it yet (little pathetic sob)
I'm going to take a stab at #8...
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah will ask Chuck straight out if he killed Perry , and Chuck won't answer. Protecting Casey. Am I close :)
Jules
4) Chuck now is a real spy. Sarah will be part of his team.
ReplyDelete5) Sarah is the new boss of the team. I'd like that.
8) Chuck.
9) I don't know. But I don't think it's about romance. I guess it's too soon for those kind of teasers :)
10) Chuck won't go to Rome, which is unforgivable because Rome is a wonderful city. Shaw has to do something else. He is a great spy. So he has to do something wrong.
This is Natalya & I'm sorry! I'm kinda a smart ass when it comes to somebody talking to me like that. You have given me this warning about another website once before, so I should have learned from that mistake. But I was too sick and in a hurry to think twice about how to post the awesomeness. You sound like a person of your word, so I don't want you to continue doing anything you have planned by wasting your time and annoying fans by having this continue. And for the sake of everyone, can we please move on and put this behind us. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteP.S. This wont happen again and now I'm going to keep a lookout myself for other websites posting your content.
Gwindor, you sick, twisted, and supremely creative freak. If only I had your sensibility.
ReplyDeleteTeaser 7: Someone has a conversation with spirits.
ReplyDeleteI’m going with what the promo shows.
Teaser 8: A main character is marked for death.
Well, it can’t be Shaw, as he’s already marked for death by the Ring. If I keep the serious route, I’d say Chuck maybe, the Ring finds out who he is, which isn’t hard, as he can be a kind of sloppy spy at times. I kind of think this will involve the Buy More Crew. I’m thinking Jeff and Lester aren’t done with Casey yet, so I’ll go with Casey being marked for death by them.
Teaser 9: Someone asks a powerful question and is met with silence.
I like how other people are speculating Shaw asking Sarah about how she feels about him. Don’t know if it’s right, but I’d sure love to see that. On a side note, I kind of feel like the promo is cut backwards and that the statement Chuck makes to Sarah is after the Shaw/Sarah ‘thing’ (to be vague). They do tend to like to make the promos misleading.
Teaser 10: At least one main character does something unforgiveable.
No idea, but wasn’t the Tunaroni Sub enough for the unforgiveable angle? BLECH!
Magnus, thanks for giving out the teasers. Stuff like this really helps the wait for the next episode, and it's not right that other sites are just lifting it from you wholesale.
ReplyDeleteTook a crack at 1-5 already...these are my answers for 6-10 and have absolutely no relation to reality.
6.) Beckman is trying to get her point across to the team when Roan Montgomery comes into her office and leaves her speechless.
7.) Casey and Morgan drink Johnnie Walker Black and discuss the deeper existential meaning of Duck Hunt.
8.) Morgan is marked for death after beating a tipsy Casey in Duck Hunt. Casey can't stand when the frickin' dog laughs at him and demands a rematch at a half-mile distance with sniper rifles.
9.) Chuck asks Shaw, "Are you in love with me?" as Shaw stands there with another crazy grin.
10.) Shaw confesses his undying love for Chuck and that Sarah has been his beard all along.
Cor
After you said "Heh, I have been saying for 2-seasons now that Chuck will have to kill someone and that it would have to be to save a life. I am sure I said it a dozen times on my podcast. But is that it? Shrug." I have a feeling Chuck is going to kill someone to save Shaw in the finale.
ReplyDeleteAnyways on to the teasers
8 I'm going to guess Shaw
9 Chuck asks Sarah if she loves Shaw
10 Hmm I'm going to go with Sarah doing something unforgivable. Though I'm not really sure if the teaser is mission related or not, maybe a little hint :)
And maybe 10 will be Sarah finding out Casey did it and she was blaming Chuck, maybe she simply can't forgive herself.
ReplyDeleteWell Msgnus,
ReplyDeleteI am going to keep watching and hope that the final 8 episodes with hopefully chuck and sarah together get people back and saves our favourite show. I know it is a prayer but I am going to keep the faith in the show.

ReplyDelete-ez
Just read the synopsis for 3.12 on the NBC site. Are they serious? It is like they are trying to get this show cancelled. It sounds like Beefcake on steroids. Seriously lame. All the doubters are not going to watch that if it sounds like Beefcake part 2.
ReplyDeleteI know if I never watched the show I would read that and think man this sounds like a soap opera or 90210. Just go there read it and get a good laugh. lol
ROFL
I must admit that I'm a crazy shipper... but my craziness is still within reason. XD
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'd like to ask... is this episode going to be as depressing as the others? I just wanted to know if I have to brace myself for the worst or something. XD
Hi, Magnus my name is Alberto and a wrote yesterday to you I`m from Brazil. You heard about the pool in Kristin Santos site? The E! will help the winner get his renewal! Once again we Chuck fans most demostrate our loyalty and make Chuck the winner! Please call the fans for more this battle
ReplyDeleteSincerely!
Alberto
Natalya, cool. Glad we could settle it and move on.
ReplyDeleteOh and for those asking, the next episode is SUPER ANGSTY but that doesn't always mean in a bad way. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Magnus,
ReplyDeleteI take from your response that you are not allowed to answer a question: "is it a good shipper ep or is it a bad shipper ep" with yes (good)/no (bad), right?:)
Just as anonymous couple of posts above me, I just want to know if Im going to be happy by the end of this ep or not.
All eps lately are super angsty, and it seems that show doesnt bring that kind of enjoyment. I mean, plotwise I honestly understand why they took this path and I think that plotwise its very well done.
Still, its just not that fun to watch heroes, that we all learnt to love, to struggle for THAT long. Im not talking C/S only right now, basically every major character, excluding Morgan, Shaw and Beckman probably) are failing all over the place.
Obviously Im going to keep watching, Im waaay too invested, but I want to be ready for that positive ep that we are all waiting for. And thats all I want to know honestly: is this ep end of the tunnell, or do we have to wait another ep (god forbid 7 eps)??
Thanks for your reply
Krax
I can answer anything I want... but I won't. What fun is it in knowing everything (other than being me?). ;) I wish I didn't know all I know. People just kept telling me stuff until I had the whole story. It is kind of awesome and it kind of sucks knowing people who know stuff. Sometimes you get talking and all of a sudden you know too much.
ReplyDeleteSo, all I will say is that the next two episodes are crazy and awesome and angsty and super romantic at times.
Super angsty in a good way. Uhm. Interesting :)
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of synopses for episode 12. But how many things happen? :)
I think the synopsis on the NBC site is the worst.
Sarah, the synopsis on the NBC site should be the same as on all the sites. They don't write five different ones.
ReplyDeleteThey (NBC) just posted a short synopsis that indicates Chuck has to win Sarah from Shaw ... so all the shippers started freaking out again about the from Shaw part.
ReplyDeleteNo biggie
Jay
Jay, that is the synopsis everyone has. It just says Chuck has to try to win her back. We know why that is... because she thinks he killed someone and it broke her heart. Why don't people pay attention to the show and then put 2 and 2 together?
ReplyDeleteyeah it's just the old mini synopsis was vague, the new mini synopsis specifies that Shaw kinda has Sarah's heart. Like I said, no biggie, usual people getting their panties in a twist over nothing.
ReplyDeletenew:Chuck uses an undercover solo assignment to try to steal Sarah’s heart back from Shaw.
Old:Chuck has his pick of the best CIA agents for an undercover operation, but he has only one girl in mind for the job – Sarah.Casey, Morgan and Awesome team up to help Chuck win her back.
It's actually fun to watch the freaking out sometimes :) There's like "OMG THEY ARE KILLING THE SHOW!!!!!!11111ONEONEONE"
Jay
Jay, that is weird. They changed the synopsis? Or is this like a blurb synopsis? In any event, the show has already established this. How could anyone be surprised?
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, I'm gonna take a big shot in the dark and say that Lester does something stupid to screw things up again and for once he feels bad about it. Vik said in an interview that Lester will be struggling with his manhood the rest of the season, and something has to happen to set that off.
ReplyDeleteI want to go back to the Super Angsty. I started wondering how one would dread something good, then I realized that if you had a lobotomy
ReplyDeleteyou wouldn't care any more and if you had a vasectomy you would be just shooting blanks. So Chuck doesn't care anymore because Shaw is shooting blanks.
Some people at the NBC boards still go on rants about "Oh this episode is going to be like the Mask part 2!!"
ReplyDeleteI'm like how can it be the Mask again when its already established that Shaw and Sarah are in a relationship?
They could show them in bed naked under the covers and if anyone was upset or surprised by that fact, they should be slapped lol.
I like C/S as much as anyone but people that keep getting mad about Sarah showing signs that she is close to Shaw are just ridiculous. Its established, get over it.
-DD
#10 One main character will do something unforgivable ...
ReplyDeleteBig MIke get's drunk and goes to Quiznos instead of Subway !! lol
Jules
Hola Amigo -
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure this song would have been playing at some point in the last couple EP's
- It should be re-release with the new name
'Crazy Shippers Angst'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz8kkzGelDo
cheers - the Gringo Chuck Fan
Magnus if you can answer this, it would be awesome
ReplyDeleteAt the end of 3.12 with the C/S shippers being doing this :) or this :( because I find myself loving the episodes and then getting upset at the ending when Sarah pulls a 180 on Chuck.
Joe
Super angsty but not necessarily in a bad way? Interesting. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be looking forward to the next chapter, but will watch it regardless. Have invested too much to quit now. XD
ReplyDeleteThe words "super angsty" always troubles the shipper in me, but I have faith that the show will resolve this soon. Is my faith well-placed, or should I kiss the rest of the season goodbye? =/
Lord knows we've had our fill of super angsty eps. If only I knew if there was some sort of light at the end of the tunnel... XD
