This SDCC marks the 40th anniversary of the convention and with all the announcements it seems like the convention is going to be great.

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.

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.

A Stargate Update

Being a hugh Stargate fan I just wanted to say how much I am looking forward to the upcoming season of Stargate Atlantis. The past season was great, and the finale left me wanting for more. The new season begins July 11 at 10 pm. 

Also, Stargate: Continuum comes out on dvd on July 29, so look out for that. Ark of Truth was great, and it was a great way to end the Ori storyline. Continuum will be a stand alone film, and hopefully if it does well there will be more films.

Also there should be some big Stargate things happening at Comic-con. I will post any info I see to keep everyone informed at what will be happening at the con. If you won't be at the con, don't fret, I will be posting updates on here from the convention, since I will be attending.

Doctor Who

This season of Doctor Who has been one of my favorites. I love the way this series has been written, especially how Donna and the Doctor interact with each other. That said I can't wait for the finale, it's shaping up to be one of the best ever. 

(Spoilers for Season 4)

This season started out with a jaw dropping ender to the first episode, with Rose showing up and Donna talking to her. The minute I saw Rose (after I stopped freaking out of course) I knew that this season would be amazing. The episodes have been very good, and I love how in every episode someone mistakes the Doctor and Donna for being a couple. I've liked all of the Doctor's companions. Rose was great and I was really sad when she got trapped in the parallel universe, but I think it added more to the Doctor and the pain that he always carries with him. Martha was a great character because she helped the Doctor get over the loss of Rose, and you couldn't help but feel bad for her, because the Doctor did not see her as a romantic interest (and who could blame her for liking him!) That said, Donna is easily becoming one of my favorite companions, she is just hilarious, and I attribute that to Catherine 

Tate. She is so talented and she brings so much to the show, I really hope that she sticks around for next year. Even with all that Donna has seen (Pompeii being destroyed, the pain of the Ood, her granddad nearly being killed by the Sontaran's, etc) she is still cheery and wants to continue traveling with the Doctor and seeing the universe. She is a great companion for him.

I have to mention the wonderful job that David Tennant has been doing this season (He does a great job every season, I know). We have seen a new side to the Doctor. This season had a lot of ups and downs for the Doctor. In Voyage of the Damned he found a new companion in Astrid, only to lose her when she sacrificed herself to save him. He then met up with Donna again, and finally had someone to travel throughout time and space with. Next in order to save the world he had to destroy the city of Pompeii, and in one of his darker moments he refused to save anyone, including the family that he got to know while he was there (until Donna pleaded with him to save one family, and he gave in). Next he freed the Ood from a life of servitude, and could hear their sad song. Later on in the season, he reproduced and had a daughter, only to lose her as well. It has been a hard year for the Doctor and coming up he will once again have to face off against his greatest enemy... the Daleks.

So all of the his brings me to the finale. It appears as those all of the Doctors companions from the past 4 seasons will be involved in the finale, and a few new ones as well. Sarah Jane, Mickey, Jackie, Rose, Martha, Captain Jack, and Donna will all be involved in the finale. Also included in the finale will be Ianto Jones and Gwen Cooper from Torchwood (The Doctor Who spin-off). Also appearing will Harriet Jones Prime Minister or MP for Flydale North (I know, but I couldn't resist doing her title joke). The last time we saw the former PM she was saying that she was fit for office, but we all know that the Master became the new PM. So it will be interesting to see what happened to Harriet Jones.

I am so excited for the finale, I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Help Save Moonlight

I know I haven't talked a lot about Moonlight on this blog, but it is an amazing show, and CBS announced that they are not giving it a second season. So I recommend that if you are a fan of show you call or write to CBS and tell them that they are making a huge mistake. 

Also, while you are at it, if you like the show Shark, I suggest you do the same because that is also getting the ax.

We have to let the network know that they are making a mistake, especially when they renewed other shows, like The Unit. So let you voice be heard....and call or write CBS.
