Chuck

Okay this post is about the series CHUCK (as you can see in the title and the picture itself). So anyway I've been addicted to this series for days now. Well, because series are really my thing nowadays! Oh forget it! Coz I think its eversince I became a college student. I usually sleep in the morning or sometimes I don't, it was when I am in college but now that I am an official bummer I usually get some sleep every morning. Lucky me I guess! Okay I should start now with what this is all about. I've known this series maybe 2009 I don't even remember its just my sister bought a DVD of Season 1 then we watched and I get addicted to it. I usually hopes that everytime I switch the channel to AXN or AXN Beyond it should be Chuck. I am lucky enough that it happens but most of the time not. So now I realized that since I have an internet access I can watch it, even do marathon. Oh GOD!! And that's the worst part of it. I usually get to sleep at around 5:30 am, my body clock's not good I know but I can still handle it which is a good thing. So start with the series now. Here's the poster of the series.

Poster from season 1. Aww look at them they look good together as a team, partners, handler whatever it should be.

Poster from season 3. Look at Chuck he's now really a spy! I really want them to end up together.

Chuck is an action-comedy/spy-drama television program from the United States 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 on the CIA, the message embeds only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain.

Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) is in his late twenties, living in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles, California and working at a dead end job as a computer expert in the Nerd Herd at the Burbank Buy More a large retail consumer-electronics chain comparable to "Best Buy", with his bestfriend, Morgan Grimes. Chuck is well educated but lacks direction. His sister Ellie and her boyfriend (husband as of the end of season 2) Devon "Captain Awesome" Woodcomb are doctors who are constantly encouraging Chuck to make progress in his professional and romantic life.

At the beginning of the series, Chuck receives an e-mail from Bryce Larkin, his former Stanford University roommate, who beacame a CIA agent and was suspected of going rogue. The entire database of all the US Government's secret information - a neural supercomputer called the Inresect - is subliminally embedded into Chuck's brain via encoded images upon opening the email. Both NSA and CIA want the intelligence returned to them dispatch agents of their own - Major John Casey and Agent Sarah Walker - to retrieve the data.

With the government's copy of the intersecet destroyed in Bryce's attempted escape, Chuck's brain holds the only copy, and so he must use the knowledge he now possesses to help the government thwart assassins and international terrorists - upending mundane life. The intersect causes Chuck to receive involuntary "flashes" of information from the database, activated by certain triggers around him (such as faces, voices, in-context keywords, and various objects). In order to preserve their safety, Chuck must keep his newfound occupation secret from his family and friends, forcing Casey and Walker to establish uneasy alliance and secret identities. Walker poses as Chuck's girlfriend and takes cover a job at a local restaurant near the Buy More while Casey reluctantly goes undercover as part of the Buy More team.

Chuck, Sarah and Casey all face professional conflicts as they grow to respect each other and a genuine romantic interest develops between Chuck and Sarah. Chuck's desire to maintain his close relationships and eventually return to a normal life is challenged by the dangers and growing responsibilities of his new secret life, and he gradually becomes a more competent, confident and willing spy.

Chuck's father, Stephen Bartowski, returns for Ellie's wedding. Stephen reveals himself to be a former CIA ahent and creator of the Intersect shortly before he is captured and forced to create the Intersect 2.0. This advanced Intersect allows the user to perform physical tasks they previously could not (e.g. matial arts, foreign languages, and musical instrument skills) in addition to the purely information function of the original Intersect. A series of events leads Chuck to embed the new Intersect into his brain to keep it from being taken by malicious forces.

Chuck eventually willingly decides to become a real spy. Although he fails "spy school", his effectiveness in the field leads General Beckman to give him a second chance and reinstate him as a member of the team, where Daniel Shaw is introduced to encourage his development as an agent. Chuck struggles to learn to balance his emotions to control the Intersect, which is complicated by his lingering feelings for Sarah. Sarah and Shaw begin dating, but Shaw is turned by the Ring, a criminal organization. In "Chuck versus the American Hero" Chuck is officially inducted as an agent by General Beckman, and in the next episode, "Chuck versus the Other Guy", he shoots Shaw in order to protect Sarah. Chuck and Sarah immediately rekindle their latent relationship. Chuck's bestfriend Morgan Grimes also becomes privy to Chuck's "spy secret", following which General Beckman inducts him as part of Chuck's "spy team" and orders John Casey to train him.

Shaw is revealed to be alive and has downloaded the Intersect as well, and attempts to kill Sarah, Chuck and Casey, and compromise both NSA and CIA. Chuck thwarts this plan, although his father is killed and his sister finally learns that he accidentally dowanloaded an early copy of the Intersect into his brain whe he was still a young child. Chuck retires from the CIA, and later discovers his father's secret spy base, dedicated to locating and protecting Chuck's mother and performing spy work that "governments are afraid to do."

In season 4, Chuck and Morgan search around the world looking for Chuck's mother, Mary Elizabeth Bartowski. After being unable to secure job outside of the government, Chuck rejoins CIA without Ellie's knowledge. Chuck and Sarah continue to have communication issues, and Chuck's search for his mother entangles him a fight with Russian international arms dealer Alexei Volkoff and his far-reaching organization Volkoff Industries, whom she was assigned to infiltrate 20 years earlier. Sarah tells Chuck that she is going undervover as a double agent to bring down Volkoff Industries and bring back Mary Bartowski. Sarah works undercover in Volkoff for a few weeks until Chuck devises a plan to take Volkoff down. With the arrest of Volkoff, the family rushes to the hospital where Ellie is in labor. Clara Woodcomb is born as Chuck proposes to Sarah and she says yes. Following Volkoff's arrest Chuck and Sarah are sent to find Volkoff's successor, whom is later discovered discovered to be his daughter, Vivian Volkoff. Chuck and Sarah attempt to simultaneously plan their wedding and thwart Vivian Volkoff from selling a device that can kill someone from any place in the world by using his or her DNA. In the second last episode, Vivian uses the device on Sarah, sending her to the hospital unconscious and possibly worse. With the help of Vivian's father, Chuck is able to convince her to turn over the antidote to the Norseman, saving Sarah's life. In the process, CIA hitman Clyde Decker forcibly suppresses Chuck's Intersect and the team's government association is terminated. Chuck and Sarah marry and, using financial assets turned over to them by Volkoff, purchase the Buy More and Castle, determined to start their own freelance spy organization with Casey and Morgan, the latter who has now accidentally downloaded the Intersect.
