    It's being marketed in tv ads as a mindless sci fi action film.
    It's like they are embarrassed about the clearly Dances with Wolves plot.

    My only negative to that video was, ugh, do I really want 3 hours of Chuck in 2 days? They could have waited until the next week to start showing it on Mondays.

    I love that Zachary Levi doesn't take himself too seriously. Makes him and the character he plays all the more lovable.

    I watch the show for Adam Baldwin. I hope to see more Casey centric stories this season.

    I have actually been willingly watching the Chuck ads on my TiVo rather than skipping them. Even if it's the same one every time.

    Well, the rest of us tired of the fact there was almost no growth in Chuck in two years like he was some sitcom character where nothing ever changes. That he was still a boob after all that time makes you wonder exactly that the government ever saw in him to begin with. This "Jake 4.0" development was loooong overdue.

    And I'm enjoying myself watching Bryce Larkin help the FBI on White Collar.

    @AngriestGeek: Not sure about that first part. I hoping the Jake 4.0 aspect won't ruin what made the show great. Keep thinking there had to be something between the stagnant bumbling and Neo-Chuck.

    Totally agree about the second though! Go White Collar!

    @AngriestGeek: I think you mean Jake 1.5. And Chuck has come a long way from where we started, even if the writers have a nasty habit of going back to the Bumbling-Chuck=Comedy well way too often for my tastes.

    @AngriestGeek: I'm with you. The dominant recurring theme of Chuck from episode one is his growth from ackward directionless nerd into a purposeful, confident person. This change is to be expected.

    I guess I should speak personally, to avoid overgeneralizing geek culture, but I think that's why this show plays so well with us. Our interests have mostly been at odds with mainstream culture -- in fact, we've received a lot of grief over it for most of our lives. I see Chuck, in some ways, as a primer on incorporating yourself into a society that has, by and large, rejected the values that you hold dear, and that views your interests as somewhat juvenile, something you should have "grown up" from already, damnit. The show seeks to explore what it means to be a geek boyfriend, a geek brother, a geek son. Maybe if the show lasts long enough, Chuck will explore the meaning of geek marriage, and geek fatherhood.

    Where Chuck risks falling flat is not in changing, but how. If he loses those essential geek qualities along the way, the things we like about ourselves -- inquisitiveness, playfulness, intelligence, and the sense of awe and majesty you feel while reading tech blogs or watching spaceporn -- if the writers do that, they'll have failed the concept.

    Ohboyohboyohboy! I've been excited for this since watching Jeffster! live at Comic-con.

    Chuck's premiere after the holidays will be like finding that last Christmas present you forgot you had under the tree... sweet!

    him having super spy powers now makes me just more excited for this show. Brilliant move on something that while still exciting was about to get stale really quick.

    well done guys. I hope it works for you.

    After I saw the first preview for season 3, I started looking for all of my favorite episodes or clips of Chuck ever. I have missed the accidentally awesome Chuck.

    I'm surprised the removed that scene. I remember really enjoying that from the 3rd movie (4th?).

    Too many movies.
