I LOOOOOOVE Brandon Routh, and am totally looking forward to this premier now! LOVE it!!!
yay!!!! and yes NBC don’t wait till march!!!! and also I love chuck but the love triagles are getting rather old.
I’m a hardcore Chuck addict, as much as anybody else is. I just polished off the first two DVD’s of Season 1 (so far). As much as I crave new Chuck to watch, I want the most possible. We got a 13 episode renewal. That’d prolly place us at the Olympics. NBC is currently optimistic about Chuck getting a back 9 extension to go into the summer. Are we likely to get that extension right after the Olympics? I’m more concerned about the amount of upcoming Chuck than WHEN. If the show’s ratings were phenomenal and its future secure, I might feel differently.
WE W A N T CHUCK BACK SOONER!!!
WE N E E D HIM BACK SOONER!!!
how many people do think will survive without their Chuck-fix??!!
(Brandon is… AWESOME!!)
I’m trying to be happy that we got Chuck back at all, after the whole “on the bubble” business this past spring. Some Chuck is preferable to no Chuck. I think they’re holding on to it until after the Olympics are done.
LOVE CHUCK!!!!!! MUST HAVE HIM NOW! Have mercy on his devoted fans. It’s cruel and unusual punishment to wait so long and to be promised to few episodes!
kristin kreuk first then next episode brandon routh.seems like revenge for sarah after chuck had his eyes on hannah.after all schwartz told at comic con that it will be a love trapezoid: chuck/sarah ;chuck/hannah ;sarah/shaw or hannah/shaw in the end. both new guests wouldn’t be there at the final episode of season 3. all things will be resolved at the last 2 episodes i think.guests will just thicken the plot and establish stronger relationships amongst the main characters.some buzzin going around that they may bring the relationship to another level this time, just have to wait on which episode it would start, charah is taking baby steps remember, they are being prudent, taking things slow. no wonder the east wing of their apartment is taking a vow of celibacy (line from season 1 vs. the truth) HAHAHA
Awesome. Chuck me asap.
I believe like education it should be all year long, yes the other half got it right about the smallville guy
Maybe a few ‘boot camp for actor’s’ classes would help, mean it in a most constructive way. I’ve heard they help actors, re-invent themselve’s!
Nice person/actor, cut him some slack, people!!!
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!
