I know for a fact I'm not the only one excited about the new season of Chuck, as I have force fed Chuck to some of you already. With today being the day I have waited for the last gazillion months or so, I decided to open a Chuck-thread for every old and new Chuck fans to come in and talk about the coolest nerd-spy on the air: Chuck Bartowski. Before I start, remember the rules about bashing and watch your language. We'll hit down hard on bashers, so respect that others might have another opinion.
Synopsis
Imagine working your ass off in an Ivy League school, only for your best friend to frame you for cheating on a final exam resulting in you getting kicked out of school. This was what happened to our hero, Chuck, when he got kicked out of Stanford when framed by his best friend Bryce. Without his diploma, Chuck started working at an electronics store, the Buy More, where he fixes computers and whatever electronic devices you can break. For years, that was his life. He was bitter because his friend got him kicked out of school, and he was struggling to get over his girlfriend who also ended up cheating on him with Bryce.
The show really starts when we learn that Bryce is a spy, and that he stole the code for a super computer known as the Intersect, full of all the intelligence CIA etc could put into it, before he destroyed the original, leaving him with the only Intersect in the world. But breaking into a secret base full of well trained spies isn't easy, even if you're a James Bond wannabe, and Bryce gets caught... but not before he sends the code to Chuck. The intersect ends up in Chuck's head, and with it he gains the ability to "flash", or see images of information on things and people he can see in his daily life. Suddenly, Chuck goes from a regular nobody to the most important person in the world. Every secret agency wants to get their shady hands on Chuck and his ability, so the CIA and NSA sends their best agents to keep him safe until they can figure out how to fix this whole thing.
And that's how Chuck's life turns into a national secret. Leading a double life, he comes along on important missions as a source of information, but he has zero training and has no idea what he's doing. He's the brains, where his handlers are the brawn... this leads to funny situations, especially when one opposing agency of rouge agents catches the trail of the Intersect.
The cast of this show is absolutely brilliant, and you can't help but love them all. If you're fans of music, you'll need to get to season two so you can fanboy the brilliant duo: JEFFSTER!! Well, I can't praise the cast more, so I'll just have you all check it out yourself, so I'll provide links to torrents for the first two seasons, and I'll update with links to season 3 episodes as they air. Enjoy!
