Oh yes....it was great seeing the Jayne attitude pop up from time to time. Two thumbs up to Adam's job of being the mean and scary NSA agent.
I enjoyed the show alot and it should be a great lead in to Heroes. As one person put it on another thread, Chuck is "fun" to watch.
As far as being realistic; if i want realism I'll watch the weather channel. Nothing on TV is realistic and I prefer my entertainment that way. Even the news channels are great at creating fiction.
On the other hand, editors of these shows definitely have to be on their toes to make everything line up just right.

I watched and it was fairly good. Not great, but entertaining.
I'm going to give it a few more episodes to see how it goes.

That was my favorite line.
Does C4 explode if you puke on it?
Now that would be funny!

No argument there. However, the card would still have to be turned on, plus the timing was all off. Anyway, as someone else said if you suspend belief it's a fun show. It's just that Joss has a way of making the most far-fetched ideas seem plausible.

"So?"

No argument there from me either. Plus, it reminds me more of Alias anyway.
Alias was EXTREMELY far-fetched, even for the die-hard fans. One of it's most annoying "quirks" was someone faking their death every other week. So many times a season and it stopped being compelling (I kept watching mainly because I genuinely enjoyed the characters and the "dysfunctional family" themes)...then it happened again in the final season and it tore me up.
My point being, even the most ridiculous things can sometimes turn out to unexpectedly resonate (right word?).
Don't know if Chuck will be that way, it's a wait-and-see kind of thing for me too.

Well I mentioned on both the Hero threads how much I enjoyed it and look forward to having it be a lead in to Heroes. Yes it was silly and stupid and a lot of things seemed far fetched (mainly to me the way the NSA and CIA agents fought each other so brutally. Same side remember) but it was a great show and I found myself laughing (silly nerdy sidekick is so silly) and enjoying myself. Even though I HATED Adam's hair. What was he thinking? too-much-hair..........
And there was a brief moment that felt Joss-like in the beggining of the show when Bryce the rogue agent nearly get's away and suddenly he's shot, then you hear Adam say in a calm voice "Don't move." Most say that BEFORE shooting someone, he did it after. Had a Mal quality to it. And some of the dialogue I found quite witty. I'm looking forward to Mondays now. I just have to find the episodes of Eureka S2 to cath up and I'll be set.
