Chuck
Mood: || Busy
Tune : Watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles




I just finished watching the pilot of the new series Chuck and I am already SO in love with it. More behind the cut.




CHUCK - Pilot

My first thoughts: I just finished watching the pilot and SO MUCH LOVE FOR ZACHARY LEVI!! Seriously, he's fantastic. And he wears Converse!! sahgdgjagd;dadgskjdsagd He's nerdy and funny and a total anti-hero. Yet he's completely believable as the main character. The show itself is action packed, thrilling, sensational and hilarious. At first I thought it looked a lot like Mission Impossible but there's so much original humour thrown in there you can hardly compare the two.

In the pilot you get: two Zac Levi showerscenes, Captain Awesome, Alec Baldwin (♥), awkward dates, a herd nerd, BFF Morgan, ninja moves, and so much more. I loved it all the way through. I did at first wonder if the idea for the show would be enough to fill an entire season (or more) but they nicely covered that at the end of the episode, giving an eaplanation for Chuck's true potential. Also, one of the last scenes in the store made me LMAO You'll know what I mean once you see it too.

Rating: 9/10


Official summary:
From executive producer Josh Schwartz ("The OC") and executive producer-director McG ("Charlie's Angels," "We Are Marshall") comes a one-hour, action-comedy series about Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect")--a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. When Chuck opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwillingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More Electronics store. Instead of fighting computer viruses, he must now confront assassins and international terrorists.

With the government's most precious secrets in Chuck's head, Major John Casey of the National Security Agency (Adam Baldwin, "Firefly") assumes the the responsibilty of protecting him. His partner is the CIA's top agent (and Chuck's first date in years), Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski, "Gone"). They'll try to keep him safe by trading in his pocket protector for a bulletproof vest. Also starring are Joshua Gomez ("Without a Trace") as Morgan, Chuck's best buddy, and Sarah Lancaster ("What About Brian?") as Chuck's ever-supportive sister, Ellie.


Official website: Chuck on Nbc.com


Premieres September 24th on NBC at 8pm (before Heroes sgjhdgsjgdghadvgghd). Go watch it!

I HATE MY BROTHER. In other words, I totally wish I'd been online when you were, so we could've watched it and fangirled it together. OMG I LOVE IT. Captain awesome, hahaha! :x The action scenes were so damn funny, too. In the beginning, Bryce is being all, like, OMGFTWBETTERTHANBOND and then, bang! Adam shoots him so plainly. I LMAO'd. The ninja scene was also completely awesome brilliant. As was everything else. And! Shower scenes, KDSJHLAJSGLHKLSDJHFJKajkh!

Can't wait for your picspam. ;) Oh, and don't forget to check GettyImages! They have a picture of Quinto coming up in ZL search results, LOL. And ZL (I kinda want to start calling them Zevi and Zuinto, wtf. THAT IS SUCH A BAD IDEA) is totally adorable in some of those pics.

MUST HAVE ICONS.

I HATE YOUR BROTHER TOO :( :( :( I've already seen Chuck, Sarah Connor Chronicles and Pushing Daisies is there anything else we can watch together??? Not that I mind watching Chuck again btw ;)

I kinda really like Bruce and his MI actions LOL I hope we'll see him back in flashbacks or something.

Ohhh *goes to Getty Images*

ROFLMAO at the names! I call them Zach and Zac now, because Zachary Levi's official website calls him Zac, so ;)

[info]totallybalanced made caps so you can make icons xD xD xD

YAY FOR THIS POST!

I had heard Josh Schwartz was behind this show and squeed rather loudly ...in a public place. Then I saw a preview & squeed some more in a not so public place. So I'm glad to hear it really is good show and not a tease. :D

Is it September yet? No really... Is it? :}

Hehe, I think I like it, too :D

LOL I actually don't know if there's a code, it's actually on the German Keyboards :D :D the ² is the third symbol on the "2"-key, the ³ is the third on the "3"-key :D

O.o I only have two symbols on my number keys. What key do you push to activate the third symbol? (It might be in the system just not on the keyboard)

[info]subtle__sarcasm
2007-07-24 12:27 pm UTC (link)
LOL oh. well, it's "Alt Gr" to activate them. so... you don't have three symbols on any of the number keys? how do you fit all your symbols on the keyboard then? :D

Okay that didn't work for me, damnit >.<

Uhm we might have less symbols? I mean we don't need an umlaut, scharfes s, etc.

*lol* well yeah, but that's only 4 symbols. 3, because the "ß" is up on the number pad as well. O_o
