Hehehe.. Couldn't sleep much after waking up at around 3PM. So I just logged in to Facebook and checked out the "I'm a Chuck Addict" app, which I haven't actually been looking into since I first accepted it.
Well would you look at that!
I just worked my way up to 2000 points in the trivia game. Each question is worth 10points. I made some mistakes along the way, so that's definitely more than 200 questions I answered in one sitting. Geez!
Hehehe.. Just can't stop answering the trivia, espcially if you know the answers to most of the questions.
Anyway, I decided to stop at 2000 points with the Enthusiast ranking for now. Maybe next time when I'm not doing anything important such as... uhm... scrubbing the drawers to get rid of the smell of mildew mixed with varnish. Ech! :))

Chuck: The first 8 episodes of Season 2
It's been a while since I posted anything Chuck-related here. That doesn't mean that I've stopped watching this great show, though. :)
I've stated before that with the writer's guild strike over, the storyline should improve a great deal in season two. And whoa boy! Did they deliver it this time! Don't care what the critics say; there will always be people who will not like this show for some reason.
Anyway, just a recap of the last eight episodes:
The first three episodes shows Chuck and Sarah trying to make their cover relationship real when they learned that the replacement Intersect will be put in place; however, recent events like the new Intersect exploding at the conclusion of S02E01 Chuck versus the First Date, and Bryce showing up at the end of S02E02 Chuck versus the Seduction and the entire S02E03 Chuck versus the Breakup, put a stop to that. In S02E03, Chuck realized that life with Sarah would never be normal and have decided to just keep their cover relationship as is -- just a cover.
The next two episodes are some "filler" episodes featuring the past of Sarah, in S02E04 Chuck versus the Cougars, and Jeff, S02E05 Chuck versus TomSawyer -- yeah, that "Nerd Herd, serial-killer" Jeff.
The latest three episodes features the biggest storyline thus far; the return of Chuck's first love, Jill. In S02E06 Chuck versus the Ex, Chuck finds himself still in love with Jill and, at the conclusion, was forced to reveal to her that he is an agent of CIA. In S02E07 Chuck versus the Fat Lady, Jill becomes an indespensible part in solving Chuck's next mission -- much to the chagrin of Sarah. The plot twist at the end of the epsisode was, well, twisted: Jill is a rogue CIA agent!
The latest episode, S02E08 Chuck versus the Gravitron, Chuck finally learns this after he flashes on an SMS in Jill's phone and upon hearing her codename "Sand Storm". Anyway, long story short, Chuck, using among others his full nerd mastery of the Castle -- that's what they call the CIA facility under Orange, Orange; not sure if this was the first episode that revealed the name of this facility though -- is able to trap Jill in the Nerd Herder.
I like the direction of the story so far. After the Jill incident, Chuck and Sarah have regained each others trust and confidence, hopefully becoming a stronger team than before. And, being awarded the Couple That We Rooted for the Most award in IGN '07, we can only speculate if the producers and writers have finally decided to make the two a real couple in the next episodes.
We're not even halfway through the season yet; this season is supposed to consist of 22 full episodes, which only means there's soooo much room for more interesting developments, some hanging plotlines to pursue, and what-not.
I'm just hoping that there would be lesser episodes dealing with the past of, say, Lester, Big Mike or the others, unless it is somehow reallyy, really, really needed in the storyline. Sorry, not a big fan of the Tom Sawyer episode.

Chuck Selected Quotable Quotes (S01E01, S01E02)
Here are some selected quotes from the TV series Chuck, Episodes 1 and 2. I'll post more at a later time. For the time-being, enjoy. :)
Bryce: It's hard to say goodbye
Chuck: Hi! Hi! Uh, phone trouble again?
Sarah: Uh, yeah. I'm not sure I'm able to receive calls 'coz... I never got one from you.
(Yeah, every nerd's dream... Hehe)
Chuck: Is that your big secret, by the way? 'Coz I've been sitting here trying to figure out what's wrong with you.
Sarah: Oh plenty, believe me.
Chuck: So I was thinking either she's a cannibal or she's really not that funny. And I was pulling for cannibal because I never met one before.
Sarah: Uh, not a cannibal, but I did just come out of a long relationship, so I may come with baggage.
Chuck: Well, I can be your very own baggage-handler.
(yeah, smooth moves!)
Sarah: Okay. I may have to point my gun at you so just don't freak out.
Chuck: Why?
(Casey enters scene.)
Casey: It's late. I'm tired. Let's cut the crap and give him to me, now. He belongs to the NSA.
(Sarah points gun to Chuck.)
Sarah: CIA get's him first.
(Chuck points gun to Sarah.)
Sarah: You come any closer and I shoot him.
Chuck: Sarah.... I'm feakin' out!
Sarah: I need you to do one more thing for me.
Chuck: Yeah.
Sarah: Trust me, Chuck.
(After flashing on Sarah.)
Chuck: Don't freak out.
Sarah: Well... No sign of anything here.
Chuck: Looks like we'll be sending the good doctor in an ashtray
Sarah: Okay, well I've got hotdogs to fry
Chuck: And I've got some toasters to sell.
Chuck: He's got Sarah, we've got to save her.
Casey: Brilliant deduction Nancy Drew. Now pull out the tranq dart!
Chuck: That was the doctor, right? He's probably not dead.
Casey: The sun sets in the west, nothing gets by you.
Sarah: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?
Chuck: Clammy hands, got it. No good.
Sarah: Chuck, the secrets that you know are incredibly important! You compromised everything when you stopped trusting me...
Casey: And when you got out of the car!
Chuck: Uhm, listen uhm.. I'm sorry okay?
Sarah: No, it is not okay. How could you think I was the double, huh? You know I am not Bryce. Bryce betrayed everything that I believe in and if you ever accuse me of that again then I will walk away, mission over. We all go back to Washington. And you do not want that to happen, Chuck. That you should trust me on.
(Sarah leaves. Casey waits until Sarah is quite a distance away, then says...)
Casey: Way to go, ace!
Casey: What happens to Chuck when this is done?
Dir. Beckman: You'll do what you do best.
Sarah: Some people want to be heroes and other's have to be asked. So... Chuck, are you ready?
Bryce: It's hard to say goodbye
Chuck: Hi! Hi! Uh, phone trouble again?

Lyrics: Sailed Away - Saving Abel
Damn! Here's the direct result of my last post (just a few hours ago around 2AM or something). Since watching that Youtube video for Chuck and Sarah, I can't get this song out of my head. Another one of those LSSs (Last Song Syndrome).
Anyway, to cope with it, I just had to get the lyrics of the song so that I could at least sing along instead of just humming or repeating "sailed away" over and over again! Hehehe.
For those having the same "symptoms", hope this post helps:

Quite a sad song, if not a bitter song, actually. But the song does say what Chuck may have felt about Sarah in the aftermath of episode 8 (spoiler!!!). Anyway, just enjoy the song. And here's the video that you can sing along with. :)Does it hurt to hear me say
That I never really meant to stay
I left you right where I want you
Now there's nothin' left
And not a reason
There's nothin' left to believe in
When just one remains
I've sailed away
Such a foolish game
That we have been playin'
Now you got me right where you want me
I left you in the right
But you wouldn't let me take the fall
Now you've got me right where you want me
Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all just the same
I'll sail away
You pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
I've sailed away
I found out on my own
Everything that I've been missin'
Now I've got you right where I want you
Now that we're apart
I see just who you are
You're always gonna be
The one to keep hatin'
Now I've got you right where I want you
Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all just the same
I'll sail away
You pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
I've sailed away
I'm not one to hide my face behind the pain
It's not like me to beg you to stay
I'll just sail away
Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all the same
I'll sail awayYou pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
You know I've sailed away
And when just one remains
You know I've sailed away
Does it hurt to hear me say
That I never really meant to stay

Chuck
Here in Southeast Asia, you can expect AXN to deliver some great shows. Another TV show gets in my to-watch-every-Monday-night list: Chuck (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski).
For those who haven't heard of this yet, well here's Mr. Wikipedia for you:
Chuck is an American action-comedy television program created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" who receives an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working in the CIA; the message embeds the only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain.
How's that for a gist? :)
Needless to say, if the fact that Chuck is now protected by a hot sexy bombshell of an agent who is undercover as his girlfriend does not make your head turn to watch this show, I don't know what will. :)
As can be expected, our nerdy hero is falling head over heels for the agent slash protector slash pretend-girlfriend. And so is her over him. I think they do make a good on-screen couple. Little wonder that this pair won the "Couple We Rooted For the Most" award in IGN Best of 2007.
Anyway, I was blown away by the number of Youtube videos users made for these two. Here are my favorite ones so far:
(Matt Kearney - Breathe In Breathe Out)
(Saving Abel - Sailed Away)
I guess I'll be watching the episodes again and get those memorable and quotable quotes. It's a shame that this season only has 13 episodes. Well, still they made a very good season and with the writer's guild strike over, I just can't wait for bigger and better Chuck Season 2!
