Chuck vs. the Ring

Tonight's season (possibly series) finale was a game changing episode of Chuck. If the show gets renewed it will be interesting to see what the writers do next. With the intersect out of Chuck's head, Chuck is ready to go back to being a regular guy. He turns down a job as an analyst working on the new intersect, quits his job at the Buy-More, and now wants to focus on his new life, and hopefully finally get the woman of his dreams. But fate has a different plan for Chuck.

This episode of Chuck was the best episode of the season, possibly the series. So much happened in the episode, I can't believe that it was only an hour long. It felt like so much happened. The ending of the episode was very open and at the end it said "to be continued." Some of the jaw dropping parts of the episode were (Spoiler Alert):

• That Chuck's dad has an intersect in his head.
• The is another group after the intersect, once that is worse then Fulcrum and that has infiltrated the CIA.
• Unknown changes were made to the new intersect.
  
• A dying Bryce asks Chuck to destroy the newly created intersect, however, Chuck decides that he was meant to work with the Government and re-downloads the intersect into his head.
• After flashing on bad guys and pictures of Kung Fu, it seems that Chuck is able to do Kung Fu.

So hopefully the show will be renewed so we can see what comes next for our favorite spy. Do your part to help save Chuck. It's a great show, and we need another season.

Dollhouse: Haunted

Dollhouse has been on a roll lately. The show just seems to be getting better and better. I started watching the show, because it was a Joss Whedon show and one of the stars was Tahmoh Penikett (Helo from Battlestar Galactica), but the show has exceeded my expectations.

This past weeks episode focused on life after death. How the dollhouse could be used to bring a person back to life in the body of another person. In the episode Adelle's friend is killed, and is brought back to life in Echo's body to see what happens to her family and friend after her death. While witnessing her own viewing and seeing how family is behaving, she starts to piece together her own death to figure out who murdered her. Also in the episode, Topher needed an active for a special engagement, however it turned out that he only needed the active for a friend on his birthday. Appearently Adelle allows him once a year, to have an active be an actual friend to him, so that he can have an enjoyable birthday. Lastly, Paul Ballard investigated Mellie's past. He tried to distance himself from Mellie, without letting anyone know that she is a doll. He was able to learn some of Mellie;s secret identities, only to have all the information erased. Paul also had a hard time being with her, he is disgusted with the dollhouse, and therefore disgusted with himself for taking advantage of Mellie by being with her.

The episode was intriguing, it showed us a different sides of many of the characters. The audience saw a different side of Adelle, a side of her resevered for her firends. We also saw a more vulnerable side of her because she had to deal with the death of her friend, and walk a fine line within the company, because she was questioned by Boyd about what she was doing, and she still had to help her friend. Topher was also shown in a different light. He is usually this out going, sarcastic, lab nerd, however the audience now sees him as a loner, who doesn't even have friends to spend his birthday with. This is such a dark and intersting show, and next weeks preview looks amazing. Also a special guest next week will be Alan Tudyk from Firefly and Serenity, and the episode looks to be filled with action and maybe a few answers. Hope fully the show will get a renewal for next season, even if it is a limited run, because this intriguing story deserves an actual ending.

EDIT: This week is watch Dollhouse week, leading up to the finale this Friday. If you haven't been watching the show, now is the perfect time to start. If you are watching the show, now is the time to get your friends and family hooked. This may help us save this show. Head on over to watchdollhouseweek.com and enjoy the episodes.

Chuck: Help Us Save This Show

It's hard to choose which show to watch Monday nights at 8, there's House MD, The Big Bang Theory, Gossip Girl, and Chuck. Right now Chuck has a 50/50 chance at getting renewed. While I like all the shows, every week I watch Chuck. There is a campaign at Givememyremote.com to try and save Chuck.

Chuck (Zachary Levi) is an average guy and a computer whiz who works as a computer expert for the Nerd Herd at the local Buy More. After downloading a super computer known as the intersect into his brain, he is able to flash on people and weaponry and works with his handlers (Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin) using the knowledge in his brain to stop the bad guys and protect the US and the World. Chuck also has to deal with his friends and family, whom he often has to protect, and whom often inadvertently interfere with missions.

The show has a great cast and this season has had some amazing recurring guest stars, including: Tony Hale, Jordana Brewster, Scott Bakula, and Chevy Chase. Other guest stars throughout the season included: Michael Clarke Duncan, Melinda Clarke, Nicole Richie, Gary Cole, Dominic Monaghan, and Tricia Helfer.

Everyone should tell there friends about this awesome show, because right now it needs more viewers. NBC has tough decisions to make, because coming the fall Jay Leno will have the 10 o'clock spot every night, so that means that there are less spots for other shows. Chuck deserves another season, and the show needs the help of all the fans to hopefully secure it. On the site there are also postcards to be sent to NBC, as well as different things post on blogs, twitter and facebook. So please join the Nerd Herd and save this awesome show.

NYC Trip

I went to NYC this past Saturday with my friends. We hung out around SNL and got to meet some of the cast members again. I love going to SNL and hanging out, the cast is so nice and it's always a good time. We also bumped into Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray, who was really nice. Here are some pics from the evening.
