It's taken most of the season, but the past few weeks I've been watching Chuck before 24. If someone would have told me I'd be doing that at the beginning of the season I would have said they were out of their mind.

I will be so upset if this is cancelled. I want to swear off all new NBC shows, but I do feel they are giving this a fair shot. My favorite show on tv, I didn't think any show would top HIMYM or The Office but this has.

I thought Bakula was supposed to be in this. Did Sam Becket lie to me in the NBC promo?

Yes, and for that reason we show all boycott this show for the rest of the season!

I really like the Jill character so I hope she keeps recurring. Jordana in the glasses =

She's actually one of the few women I have ever seen that looks better with glasses.

She's definitely hot, but why does she talk like her mouth is wired shut?

Spoiler:
Based on what I saw in the preview, I don't think Chuck is going to have to settle for a quickie. Or, at least, he may not have to settle for just one.

It was odd to see Borat's manager chase Chuck and Jill around with something other than a rubber fist.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Kill" -- 04/13/09

i didn' t think that this one was quite as good as other hours have been this season, but it sets up the rush to the finale, so i guess it all went well. i was waiting for chuck and company to have to take bernie's body and pretend it was alive for some reason.

and if they cancel chuck, i may never watch nbc again.

They did though when they took him out of the house and waived his arm.

Count me in as another that prays this doesn't get cancelled. Another fabulous episode!

From the latest Ask Ausiello on EW.com:

Question: Any good scoop on Chuck? -- Andrew
Ausiello: Only one thing will stand in the way of Chuck and Sarah having sex next Monday. And that one thing looks like this.

I loved the part where Jill's dad greeted Casey and Sarah at the door.

Something like "Talk about beauty and the beast... This guy must be loaded!"

Again, another quality Chuck. However, I must admit I didn't really get many of the references - although I could tell it was something.

I still don't like Jill. Maybe I just don't like Jordana Brewster?

One thing I'm not all that keen on is the emphasis the past few episodes. I guess it's necessary for the plot, but I feel like it has been at he cost of Chuck/Sarah moments and. Chuck [i]with[/w] with Buy More crowd. The family had been involved, but that's really been wrapped around CIA plot.

And yes, at The Morgan - especially the description!

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Kill" -- 04/13/09

I guess I should spoil this...

Spoiler:

TV Guide had information on Ellie and Awesome's wedding. Turns out Fulcrum agents are wedding crashers and Chuck's secret is out of the bag. That means the dramatic change involves Chuck's personal life. Whether that means Chuck is on the run with Sarah or if his family is now under protection is stil speculation. Either way, season 3 is going to be diffferent from the previous seasons.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Kill" -- 04/13/09

Why would it be early?

From the abrubt mid season 1 finale (due to the WGA strike) to now, they have been wanting to put Chuck under lockdown or eliminated. Nearly every episode this season has had General Beckman finding, ok, creating (if you want to be jerk about it) a reason to put Chuck in lockdown.

She always turns to Casey to cement her decision but lately Casey has also been questioning her decision/motive.

I didn't like this episode as much as the previous ones but it was still good. I don't particular enjoy the appearances of Jordana Brewster but I can't wait to see the conclusion of Chuck's father storyline.

I'm going to be furious if NBC cancels Chuck and Life. It's not like they have anything else on the wings except Big Chin taking up the 10pm slots starting in the fall.

I've done the NBC schedule...and I can't see how NBC will bring back Chuck & Life with the Leno BS.

Its obviously a given that the Thursday slot will come back (at least 4, 30 min shows in that period), Heroes, 2 (I think) Law and Orders....which leaves 2 1/2 nights of programming for Medium, Chuck, Life, FNL (which is 13 episodes in early 2010), Biggest Loser, Dateline and whatever new shows they are deciding upon. Chuck and Heroes make a real nice Monday night (or move them somewhere else - like Wednesday or Friday), Life looks like it has no place, Medium gets decent ratings and the others not sure (Saturday/Sunday?). Southland looks like it might be back next year as well. Chuck is also a WB produced show meaning it has even a lesser chance and CW has no interest in it. Hopefully Directv will do a deal with NBC...

They could do 13 in the fall in the FNL time slot. Some Chuck is better than no Chuck.

When in May is it that NBC will announce their fall lineup?
