Catching Up on CHUCK

Chuck has always been one of my favorite television series but a few things happened during season 3 that interrupted my viewing so I got behind on the series. I’ve recently been using my Netflix subscription to watch the DVDs for the last half of season 3 I haven’t seen.

There’ve been grumblings that the show is going downhill, but from my perspective, here in season 3, the show is still going strong.

I spend most of my Netflix time watching instantly, but Chuck is one of those shows that isn’t available for instant viewing. I don’t watch that many movies, so the DVD portion of my subscription is underused anyway.

I’m excited to finally be catching up on Chuck. I’m on season 3 disk 4. I know when I have the funds I’ll buy the Chuck Season 3 DVDs for my collection but why wait to watch when I have the opportunity to catch up now?

Chuck Versus the Other Guy

I just want to say… I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I can’t say I was sad to see the outcome that this episode delivered because it was exciting and twisty and just plain good. I do admit to feeling bittersweet about the entire thing. This was a great episode.

Chuck Versus the Honeymooners

Morgan’s contribution to the team turned out to be greater than I could have imagined and Casey and Morgan are fun to watch as they interact. Morgan cemented his place in the team; Casey returned to the team (as if there was any doubt he wouldn’t); and Sarah and Chuck took leaps and bounds in their relationship. All around, a fantastic and fun episode.

Chuck Versus the Role Models

A sign of things to come, and an enjoyable introduction to the newly changed relationship between Chuck and Sarah. Again, Casey and Morgan play off each other in a funny and exciting way that gives new life to the series. Now that the romantic tension between Chuck and Sarah is waning, having tension of another kind between some of the other characters is smart.

Chuck Versus the Tooth

The truth is in the tooth… Seriously. It’s obvious Chuck still has it, that something special that has always made me love the show.

This episode was full of great developments. I really like how the episode arcs are getting more complex and interconnected and how Ellie is being pulled into the story. I’ve missed the Buy More but the stories have been exciting and interesting enough to keep me from feeling too broken up about the decreased prominence of Buy More.

You can also buy the episodes to watch online or download to your computer. You can also find the DVDs on Netflix (but not to watch instantly).

Eureka to Return in July

“EurekaWriters: Hear ye, hear ye! @Syfy has spoken: #Eureka is back with Season 4.5 in July, folks! http://bit.ly/fXcfwM” (link)

Eureka

Finally, a return date for Eureka. Everyone knows I have a real soft spot for this show. I run a Eureka fan site after all, and there’s not greater show of love for a series than to spend too many hours building a site just to showcase one’s appreciation for it.

Season 4.5 has been a long time coming, and I’m excited to know that it won’t be much longer before I can revisit my favorite weird little town of Eureka.

There’s also been news that Eureka has been renewed for a 5th season.

So, I’m marking my calendar for July and will be keeping an eye out for the return of one of my favorite television shows.

Long live Eureka.

You can catch the last 5 episodes aired on the Syfy website, or just go to Amazon and watch any that you’ve missed.

Currently Available Eureka Books

If you’re a fan of Eureka, you might be interested in giving the Eureka books a try. These books are set in the world/universe of the Eureka television program and promise to deliver additional adventure and fun with the characters we’ve grown to love.

Eureka tie-in novels are a great way to revisit Eureka during the off-season (like now) while we wait for new episodes to come to Syfy.

The two books below are set during the time between season 3.5 and 4, before the time travel incident that led to season 4’s big “equation” change.

I’ve gathered plenty of information about these Eureka books here. Enjoy!

Substitution Method

Welcome to Eureka.
Population: BRILLIANT

It’s a town of geniuses—and now it’s the smartest series going.

Founded by Albert Einstein and Harry Truman after WWII, Eureka is home to the greatest minds in science and technology. But the creations of these eccentric geniuses threaten to destroy the world as often as they save it. Jack Carter is the everyman sheriff who must use his common sense and unique street smarts to keep a lid on this Pandora’s Box of a town. Especially now, when Eureka’s people, cars, and buildings are being swapped with people, cars and buildings from other places.

Chuck Nominated for an Emmy!

What a lovely surprise I discovered today when I was looking over yesterday’s news. I ended up on the Emmy Awards website (Emmys.com) and started typing in the names of my favorite shows in their search box (because they don’t have an easy to read list of Nominees—it’s a dropdown menu mess, but I digress).

If you read much of this blog, you know I’m a huge Chuck fan. I found Chuck in the nominees list in the Outstanding Stunt Coordination category.

Outstanding Stunt Coordination

  • Tom Elliott, Stunt Coordinator » Criminal Minds
  • Merritt Yohnka, Stunt Coordinator » Chuck (Episode: Chuck Versus The First Date)
  • Artie Malesci, Stunt Coordinator » Burn Notice
  • Al Jones, Stunt Coordinator » My Name Is Earl
  • Jeff Cadiente, Stunt Coordinator » 24

Revisit past Eureka episodes now that Eureka is about to return to TV

I mentioned on Eureka Fan in a blog post that now’s a great time to revisit older episodes of Eureka. That’s still true! Catch up before the last half season premieres on Friday or just watch your favorites. To quote myself:

As the July 10th premiere date gets closer, I’ll probably find myself watching many of the more recent episodes. Now, though, the time is right to watch earlier episodes, those episodes from season one and two that I most loved and that I can’t forget.

I go on to talk about my favorites from season 1 and 2. Go read it at the Eureka Fan blog.

Chuck, as Delicious as Ever

Chuck premiered this week, and I DVR’d the program because it’s something I like to watch with my husband. We would fight if I watched early, and I’m lucky that I can get away with watching Stargate Atlantis and Eureka without him.

The premier of Chuck was an event I’ve been waiting for this month with baited breath. Would the show be as fresh as I remembered? Would Chuck, Sarah and Casey have the same great chemistry? Would Captain Awesome still be around?

Yes, yes and yes. And boy was I happy about all those yeses.

I was somewhat worried that the episode would be overrun with reintroduction stuff. From an article I posted a while back, Chuck Squared: Season 2 of Chuck Promises Twice the Fun, I had discovered that the writers were treating this second season premier episode as a chance to start over with the show. Not start over as in recreate the show, but starting anew with a chance to draw in new viewers. I have no way to determine if their tactic worked, but as a returning viewer, I was perfectly happy with the episode.

Casey’s particular dilemma picked up a thread from the previous season and ran with it. I loved the twist, and I love Casey. He’s a great character and Chuck, the show, wouldn’t be nearly as good without him.

In this episode, Chuck Versus the First Date, Chuck has the opportunity to see what his life might be like if he were no longer the intersect, and then of course, it’s all snatched away.

With a nice set up for episodes to come, I believe Chuck Versus the First Date has brought a favorite TV series back to the screen.

Fifth Season of Doctor Who in 2010

Okay, okay, so maybe they’ve got another season in the works after all. Reports are showing up everywhere now that say that Doctor Who will return in 2010 with a full fifth season. News reports that Russell T. Davies will be replaced as head writer and executive producer this time by Steven Moffat.

Now we’ll have to see if David Tennant (who has played the main character of the show for the past three seasons) will return. I didn’t really like him much that first part of the first season he was in, but I can’t imagine anyone else playing the Doctor now. I sure hope he decides to do it!
