Chuck xs The Anniversary


What I like the most in Chuck xs The Anniversary is that you can see how the relationships evolved since the first season, when we had Sarah and Casey suspecting of each other to depending and counting on each other, as to Casey hating to work with Chuck ,till it reaches a point that he actually misses Chuck on the mission and think of him as a great spy . For me when it comes to characters or plot, I know the plot is the construction ,but I always prefer when the characters are well explored, because at the end I stick to a series because I care for the characters journey rather then whats going on, and the good thing about Chuck is that the writers can really balance it well, making good plots with very good characters development. One example of the opposite is OTH nowadays, I still watch because of the characters but gotta confess that plot wise, is really weak and lacks in creativity it kinda repeats itself over and over.

The episode has a simple story line but sets up real well what this season is gonna be about, Chuck search for his mother and his spy team helping him, love the scene when he tells the truth to Sarah and Casey and they don't even think twice to answer yes.

Chuck & Sarah scenes are adorable, and incredibly funny/cute, the sexting was really well played in the episode,specially with Morgan being the one sending the sms's. I thought it is was cute that The Anniversary in question referred to their relationship 6/9 moths anniversary, and showed well how much they care for each other. So sweet after so much waiting.

Chuck & Morgan as a team , is really great their interaction is really nice to watch,and the map thing in Indiana Jones style, was so cute, and the Michael Carmichael was so them.

Linda Hamilton as Chuck's mother, appears very little in the episode but is the kind oaf character that with few words can really nail a scene, specially the final one " Marco: Pls, I have a family . Linda: So do I! " it was those kinda of impact scenes, cuz then she shows that she actually cared for her family, something that is new to Chuck's plot.

Anyway the episode was very good to start a season, nothing better that laying the ground properly,specially with General Beckman as the new Buy More manager, forcing Chuck to return to his old job = NerdHerd/Spy, as he refuses hello tunnel to Castel, which was AWESOME.

Ellie appeared very quickly but with the news everybody already knew ,her and Awesome are expecting a little awesome, what made Chuck not tell her the truth,kinda curious to see when she finds out about him being a spy again.


So Next Monday Chuck xs The Suitcase, don't forget to watch live if you are from USA on NBC, 8/7c.

Just a little bit of all

so much too share and the internet goes off, so decided to write whatever up in my computer and then upload on my blog= here, cos twitter word limit is not gonna do much for me now.
The thing is not much has been happening nor much inspiration either, but have been watching a lot of stuff, not really new ones, like the other day watched "Casablanca" ( had been wanting to watch it again for a long time), this online rental thing is really good specially when my Casablanca dvd is in London, with my Moulin Rouge, Bring it On, Center Stage, realized that like a month ago when was finally unpacking some stuff , and was like crappy have like 20 dvd's that Im pretty sure left at the storage in London, not awesome, but well got a lot of stuff there,that Im gonna see again soon, so happy about that!!!
It's gonna be a weird mixed with great feeling to be back!!
Surprise ,surprise will be packing again, seriously pack and unpacking are the most regular things in my life, hopefully will be able to be an year or at least a semester without doing that combination.
Anyway things I've been watching:
Chuck - I'm completely obsessed with the show, watched an episode in the middle of the night because saw Sarah Lancaster name on the credits, and as I liked Everwood and hadn't heard about her,got curious but as Murphy Law exists in that episode she didn't appear, however at the end there was this awesome love speech/confession with the show's main characters, then later I came to know were Chuck & Sarah, and well that was enough to get me hooked and watch the 3 seasons in less than a week, then got the season 1 and 2 dvd's and lost the count of how many time watched some episodes, specially 3 from the 3rd season and can't wait for season 4!!!\o/

White Collar - basically name Matt Bomer and I'm there, he was in a couple of episodes of Chuck, and his character died again, like Luc died in Tru Calling, something that I never got over, and seems to hunt his characters because his character in Chuck- Bryce Larkin also dies ( will confess he was a bit annoying there, but still was Matt),then I'm in a shop and see this dvd's cover, and I'm like, thats Matt Bomer on the cover, and hey really was, come on with him begin the leading actor I hope they will keep him alive right. His character Neal is a con man that end's up helping an FBI agent find the white collar crimes, there the name, really nice series and the agent he help's was also in Everwood.

Pretty Little Liars - chicks kinda of show, get some Gossip Girl mixed with 90210 shake it with The OC and OTH, and there you go but add and extra dose of mystery and secrecy. Based in a book series (that btw I started to read) where a group of BFF's has their Queen vanish to be found dead, as soon as her body appears her Bff's start to mysteriously receive messages that only one person could know and that's "A". It's interesting quite curious to see the second part of the 1st season.

True Blood - I'm trying to give a 2nd chance to the show, cos Im really intrigues to why everybody loves it so much, but till now, it kinda just annoys me. Seriously I get vampires are sexy beings and all but I would really appreciate some more clothing in there, no need for that much nudity. Secondly that main character Bill he is worse than Edward will the pain/tortured look (don't get me wring I do like the Twilight saga) and WTH is this trend that all vamp's seems to be getting married I serially don't get, come on they don't feel, no soul, no human things,ok? deal. I just don't get, anyway I'm watching might as well find out when Sookie will find Bill, but honestly I don't see the chemistry between those two and I know that in real life they are together. But I do like Andy, the only one that actually convinces me as a Vampire., and like Sam too.

ok, this got big enough,gonna stop here, but won't translate it to Spanish nor Portuguese, sorry!!!
one last thing every time now I read something about Arcade Fire, I listen to them, just can't help it, and was listening to them while writing this.

Soundtrack - Black Mirror , No Cars Go , Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire.
