Did you guys catch Chuck's brain dump when he says, "Oceanic flight 815 was actually shot down by......"

My husband was screaming at the television. "By who? Who shot them down?!"
Seems he's having a little LOST withdrawal.

Anyone seen any interviews with Adam since Chuck started? I'd love to hear his 2 cents about the show. Maybe at the upcoming cons.

Best thing: lots of Adam Baldwin doing what he does best (no one else on the planet can be so threatening AND so funny at the same time!)

I hope it is a huge hit.

I love AB too in this. It looks like the writers took a look at Firefly or AB himself had some input into the character.

The one detail that I appreciated about it is that even though Chuck has all of the govt's secrets in his head, he's not a fighter or have any other abilities. Because the basic plot of the show (normal person gains abilities and has to save people on a regular basis) is similar to both REAPER, JOURNEYMAN and BIONIC WOMAN. And one cliche that happens (BIONIC WOMAN being the most guilty of them all) is that the hero gets the abilities and then they know how to wield them and kick ass.

I really liked CHUCK, and I liked the second ep way more than the first. I like how they're approaching it as a more comedic version of ALIAS, which personally I felt could have used a few more laughs.

As per REAPER, I kind of see it more as a Kevin Smith kind of thing, even though he only directed the pilot. He said when he read it that it reminded him of Shaun of the Dead, and that he'd describe it as one part Clerks, one part Dogma and one part Ghostbusters, with healthy dashes of Twin Peaks and X-Files mixed in.

Which I think is apt. After watching Buffy, I felt that DOGMA is what Buffy would have been like if Joss actually believed in God. Where he would have used real angels instead of some pretty-boy vampire. So now when I see REAPER, I see it as a glimpse into a parallel universe where Kevin Smith created Buffy.

True. One of my all time favorite episodes was when Marshall had to dig up Sydney and then take over her mission. That was priceless. Favorite Jack Bristow moment was the "fortune cookie' crack.

But you have to admit that the humor on the show was more of an afterthought, rather than a driving force.

I read somewhere that with the two agents that are tailing Chuck, it's basically Sydney Bristow and Jack Bauer together. And that is so true, if you think about it. Imagine Keifer Sutherland in the Casey role and you have the exact same dynamic.

I always thought Keifer would be a great straight man in like an action comedy. He's always funny whenever he does a talk show, so I think he could get some great laughs.

Regarding Bionic Woman: I had seen the pilot at Comic Con in San Diego, and I had been really excited about it....
but they made some changes in the pilot before airing the show on TV:
they got rid of the really interesting, intense, and angry deaf sister... who was an amazing actress and created a really strong sisterly connection w/Jamie Sommers
and they replaced her with the cuter, less intense, weaker actress who doesn't seem to create any sisterly feeling or chemistry w/Michelle Ryan's character.

I felt it is was like they cut the heart out of the show, literally.

It certainly changed my feeling about the pilot, and then when added with this second episode (which seriously turned me off) I'm now feeling very luke warm about the show.
