Okay, I finally Netflixed for the first few episodes. Heard so much about it from Browncoats I decided to give it a try. I like it.

(Unfortunately, my cheapo TV/DVD "ate" the disc--I can't get it out, dammit, so can't get more Chuck from Netflix until I can figure it out. Will have to rent from the video store...if they've got it?)

Somewhere in between (for me) Warehouse 13 (which I watch 'cuz there's nothing on, but which doesn't really interest me) and Eureka (which I really like)...and might overcome Eureka as I get more familiar.

I love Adam's part, the humor is reminiscent of what they wrote for Jayne, offhand and hinting at violence. He's doing a great job, and it's nice t see him again in something decent!

Off to the video store (I have a VHS/DVD player attached, so at least I have that option!), then to sit down with tools and tear the TV DVD apart...damn Target cheap crap.

I use the DVD player I got with my computer. I don't use the Windows Media Player. I have Cyberlink software. Not a bad picture.

Y'know, if you had a BuyMore, you could probably get a DVD player there for a bargain price, and a friendly nerd to help you install it. . .

I am ready for CHUCK season 3….but I will be missing LIFE Wednesday nights on NBC. They have lost me as a viewer on that night.

Well, yesterday morning (being one of those persistent types), I punched the "eject" button. It came out, smooth as silk.

I maintain that electronic stuff has it's own mentality, and sometimes just refuses to do what we want so it can laugh at us!

At least it came out, so I could send it back and wait for the next one. Video store doesn't have it in stock, dammit, but is ordering it. I've got a long ways to go to catch up, but I refuse to watching the current season until I have!

May use my VHS/DVD player instead, tho', just in case. I've still go that hooked up to the TV so I can record watch VHS tapes, with that lovely, lovely "fast forward" button to avoid commercials!

If I had any brains, I'd probably record the current season so I wouldn't have to wait for it to come out on DVD, but it's already so far into it, why bother now?

Good to have something else to look forward to, anyway, and I'm thoroughly enjoying Adam's character!

That's the first step in their master plan for world domination and declaring an all out war against humans.

That's a good plan. I think enough stuff happens in the show that you should see it all before trying to watch the new stuff.

Which is what has me so curious where they're planning on going this season. Hopefully it will be another fun ride.

News for Chuck fans, Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) is joining the cast this season.

Which, along with Adam, makes him the second cast member to have played Superman in some form.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Hello Patchist:

I am sure HAL already exists and has infiltrated all our electronic devices. How can you explain a vending machine that eats your money. HAL is getting rich off us $0.50 at a time.

There is no current season. Season One (13 episodes) ran from September '07 to January '08, shortened by the writers' strike. Season Two (22 episodes) ended in April of this year. Season Three doesn't start until March, so you have plenty of time to catch up.
