Re: Chuck

Clever way of Chuck passing his test without pulling the trigger.

The Subway stuff with Lester, Big Mike, and Casey cracked me up. This was only the 2nd episode this season that featured Subway.

Re: Chuck

I get the feeling there wont be a season 4

They made this season planning for 13 eps, but they have said that they go all out every season, not making anything a "possible series finale".

I personally think that the show's doing well enough to stay around, especially since NBC has to fill so many slots next year without Leno at 10

They may ramp up the Subway stuff because they originally thought it would be a wrap at episode 13. expect that also to be a big one. So the Subway stuff from the fans may be coming back very soon. haha

Tunaroni, i want one! (not really)

Yeah, I don't think Chuck is in any danger, especially since they can use it as a utility player, putting it in the place of a canceled show (probably sometime around mid-season).

Next year, if the show continues with these ratings, there might be a problem, but for now I'm glad I can feel mostly assured that the show isn't going anywhere soon.

Re: Chuck

2 straight 1.9's don't look good though guys. I'm confident we can get back to 2.3 soon. With DLST last week and DWTS this week, we took major hits. I think we'll soon be back up and we won't have to worry.

On the other hand, if it does stay like this, NBC would much rather take back Heroes. IIRC it never dipped below 2.0, and it is produced by NBC, unlike Chuck which is WB. However, Chuck is alot cheaper so you never know.

Re: Chuck

Fantastic episode tonight.

Re: Chuck

I didn't see the twist coming.

Considering the writers originally thought next week's episode was going to be the season finale, I'm expecting it to be stacked.

Oh yeah Curtis Manning showed up tonight!

Yeah, didn't see that coming either! Hooked, can't wait to see what happens next week!

Re: Chuck

Amazing episode. Can't wait to see what happens with Shaw. What a great series. I have no clue why more people don't watch. I hope rating wise we'll get up to 2.3 tonight, and next week 2.5. Now that Chuck and Sarah are back to "they will", I'd expect to see more people start watching again.

Re: Chuck

great episode, its moving now. Writers were great with that twist. I did NOT see that coming for crap.

Great writing throwing that in there. I hope this show gets some darned viewers. Its just such a good show to get crappy ratings. Wish it was on the other 3 networks.

Re: Chuck

No man. If it was on another network it would already be cancelled. But yeah amazing show. I'm sure it gets better ratings then we think. The system they do rating with is so flawed. It only accounts for like 5,000 people, and they estimate the rest.

Re: Chuck

I think that was the best episode of the season. I loved Morgan pretending to be a ring agent and Jeffster! successfully stalking the Ring operatives without getting caught.

I love how I really have no idea how they're going to make this all work. Obviously the show has to remain somewhat like it was, but there are a lot of different directions they can go with Shaw, Chuck, Sarah, Casey, and the rest.

My guess below, purely from watching, i have no actual knowledge:

Spoiler

Shaw ends up alive as a double agent with the Ring, it was the plan the whole time with Beckman. They had to sell the turn so that even Chuck and Sarah believed it. Casey redeems himself and gets back on the team, along with Chuck and Sarah. The only thing I'm not sure on is how that relationship will go. Have to avoid jumping the shark with them actually being together.

But why would them actually being together jump the shark? It only happens on some shows because the writers change the characters and they don't act the way they did, with the chemistry and spark gone. But Chuck has gone through so many major changes (chuck-fu, for example) swimmingly, I have faith that the writers can bring the two together and not make it suck.

Oh, I agree, they just have to be careful with it. I want to see it, and I think the writers can be awesome at it. I would have been skeptical if you told me that Morgan became in on the secret after watching the first 2 seasons, but they made it work awesomely.
