You definitely passed the audition. :lol:

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

I thought it was only ok too. I actually thought that they would have prolonged the "Chuck feels funny about Sarah not that he's seen her kill someone" plot for a few more episodes but I'm actually glad that its somewhat resolved now since I think it would have dragged on in other episodes.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

i heard that too, but to me that just takes away credibility. i wish they would use real things and real terms, just a bit, so i can buy into the absurdity of the premise a little better.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

You can't use those glasses, you must have the amber/blue ones required for Color Code's form of anaglyph.

The effect was OK, certainly better than the Super Bowl ads. It was a must in HD though; as I also recorded it on DVD in SD and it didn't work well at all when I tried to play it back.

Anyway, if you want to see real 3-D, go to a theater.

I just started watching "Chuck" on disc, and so far, I'm enjoying it a lot. Hopefully it will get renewed.

8.35M viewers for this episode. Not fantastic considering how heavily promoted this episode was, but still good for how Chuck has been doing this season.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

It probably lost nearly as many people as it pulled in being 3D. I tried watching it without the glasses and lasted about 15 seconds. It's on Hulu in 3D too and I'm not watching until I can find the glasses or they fix the color for normal viewing.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

Seems like an incredibly stupid idea to take a show with low viewership already and then ruin the viewing experience for those that couldn't' find the glasses. I watched for a minute while doing some work without the glasses and it looked horrible.

I don't think my wife even knew why I laughed at that part.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

I just watched the non-3D version at nbc.com. Both versions are up.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

Anyone have a pair of the glasses they don't want now that the episode has aired? PM me if I could give you a few bucks on PayPal to ship 'em to me.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

I actually made the mistake of explaining what is was, followed by "You are the biggest nerd" from my 11 year old and laughing from the girls. :(

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

:lol: nice

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

Had to take the glasses off half way through. There were a couple of nice tricks but the annoyance of the glasses just bothered me.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

Here's a little HD (720P) 3D screenshot gallery I put together.

It's too bad that after the hot opening they put Yvonne in such bland outfits. Couldn't they have found an excuse to get her twirling on a stripper pole in 3D? I mean, if your going to be exploitative, don't hold back.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

3D was decent in some scenes (daylight) and not great in others (night).

I loved all the little nerd jokes they threw at us, including IG-88. Multiple Shawshank references, "No touching" and the Final Countdown from Arrested Development, the Back to the Future "to be continued" font, and a take on the Indiana Jones theme at the end. Then there was Dominic telling Chuck his tattoo meant Serenity. I'm sure there were more I'm missing. There was a LOTR reference wasn't there? In the midst of all the pop culture references I really surprised they didn't work in a Lost reference.

Decent episode, but I'll be glad to get back to the non 3D next week.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

I didn't like the 3D at all. We may have had the wrong glasses - ours were blue/red and someone earlier mentioned amber. The episode was just ok. Can't wait for episodes where they focused on story rather than a gimmick effect.

I did like the IG-88 and the "Thermite" grenade.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

I was a little irritated that they ruined an hour that I reserved to watch their show (live with commercials). Granted I am not a Nielsen household, but none the less they lost a potential commercial watching body.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

i got some glasses from ebay that are yellow and blue. Are these the right ones? i tried watching it, but didnt really work. Without em on was really hard to watch

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

Got to be amber and blue to work.

So if you got 3D glasses from Nightmare on Elm Street, Spy Kids 3, or any other red/blue lenses. No go.

Not even the 3D glasses from Journey to The Center of the Earth (2008) work.

Intel and NBC wanted to develop technology that would produce a watchable image even without the glasses. The previous 3D technology washed the image in a red/blue sea so unless you had the glasses, the image was vitually unwatchable.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

While it's pretty uncommon, this wasn't the first use of Color Code. Several region 2 DVDs (GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS, ENCOUNTERS IN THE THIRD DIMENSION, ALIEN ADVENTURE, etc) were released with a color code version a few years ago. "Chuck" was the best example I've seen though.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

damn, i got glasses that said use on 2.01.09 on NBC. That sucks, thought they would work.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

Good news for Chuck!

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

:clap:

Awesome news.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the 3rd Dimension" -- 3D episode -- 2/2/09
 

I don't know if your joking or not, but those are the right glasses.

Made some makeshift 3D glasses using some of my sister's theatre lighting gels... worked pretty decent once I found the right colours. Good episode overall, even if this kind of 3D gives me a headache after about 30 min...
