Since I work at night, I wasn't able to see the season finale of Chuck until last night. Which was when it was posted online. I don't own a TV. If it wasn't for the Internet, I'd have to completely rely on recaps of shows until they come out on DVD. Thankfully, last night wasn't the case.
So I settled in to watch what would happen with Chuck. And, the episode met my expectations. Morgan, Jeff, and Lester offered comic relief. Sarah, Chuck, and Casey had to save the world. And, what looked to be a disastrous wedding for Chuck's sister, Ellie, turned out rather happily.
But, the "To be continued" at the end of the episode left me wondering. Is there going to be a season 3?
Being a librarian, I immediately googled the topic. But, NBC hasn't announced yet if Chuck will be having a new season next fall. So I found information calling for me to a buy a foot long Subway sandwich on Monday night. Since the Monday they were referring to was this past Monday night when the season finale aired, it's a little late to do that. But, I guess there's still time for me to write a personal letter to NBC executives and send them a box of Nerds candy.
Since that idea was posted the beginning of this month, I wonder if my letter and candy will make a difference.
And, as I sit here writing this post, I'm not sure what I'd even include in such a letter. I mean, I like Chuck. But, I haven't been the most loyal fan. When it started, I was curious because the premise of geek squad guy by day and government spy by night sounded promising. And, the fact that the main character work Converse shoes made me all the more intrigued.
But, then the writer's strike happened. The TV season was delayed, and I really didn't watch the show that much its first season. However, then I bought the DVD of the first season. I was in the process of moving at the time. Most of my DVDs were packed up except for Chuck. So I became hooked. And, now I've watched all the episodes of the 2nd season, but I'm wondering if I should share this with a man or woman in a suit to keep the fictional characters of Chuck, Casey, and Sarah on the air. Will my letter and box of Nerds sway them? Or, will they just end up in the trash?
I am not sure what course of action I'm going to take. To do nothing, I do not exercise my freedom of speech. But, to do something, maybe I can look back if the show is cancelled and say to myself that I tried to stop them. Or, if the show is renewed, maybe I don't have to worry at all. At least until the end of next season, right?

post 50
Apparently, this is the 50th post for my blog. Which, I suppose isn't a big deal since it's a combination of two blogs. Oh well, I guess I better make it count anyway.
There are a few things that have been going on in my life. The first is that I've cleaned my apartment twice in the past week because I thought people were coming over, and then for some reason, they can't. It's rather disappointing because me cleaning my apartment twice in a week is really an achievement and so far, I've been the only one to witness it. Hopefully, though, that will change tomorrow.
Another thing that I did was watch High School Musical 3. This admission could one day come back to haunt me. But, I enjoyed it. The choreography, rather than Troy and Gabriella, was what kept my interest. Kenny Ortega and his team are so creative using objects like tires, cars, and basketballs in their dance numbers. I heard that there might be a HSM 4 in the works, and I'd totally watch it if Ortega is on board. In fact, I might even see his remake of Footloose in theaters rather get it for free from the library. With the economy the way it is, my visits to the library have increased more than my trips to the movie theater.
My favorite thing to watch of late, though, has been the first and only season of Wonderfalls. I vaguely recall this show being on, but I was in graduate school at the time and had little time to watch TV besides study and work. But, I found out that Lee Pace was in it. He's the actor in the now cancelled, Pushing Daisies. (I missed seeing that while it was on TV, too)
But, Lee Pace caught my attention in his performance in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. So I do what I normally do when I'm fascinated by an actor or actress. I watch all the movies that him or her are in. A former roommate of mine compared this behavior to like a flavor of the month obsession. Lucky for her, she got to witness when I was into the work of Viggo Mortenson and Clive Owen.
So Lee Pace is what got me started in watching Wonderfalls, but I quickly became caught up in the show's quirkiness. It had me laughing and crying and really not wanting it to end. It's been a while since there has been a show that has made me do that. I mean, I like Chuck and Bones, but Wonderfalls had this sense of whimsy that made some things like inanimate objects talking to the main character, Jaye, a little crazy. But, it also had a prescence of reality laced within the show's plotlines that related to family, friends, and lovers. I could relate to Jaye in her hesitation to open herself up to the possibility of love. And,I haven't seen the love of my life marry someone else, but I have seen guys that I'm into pursue other women who weren't me.
So I guess the moral of this post is don't clean your house if you want people to come over, watch High School Musical 4 if you want to see kick ass choreography, and check out Wonderfalls if you want to see what is, I think, my favorite TV show to get the ax. And, tune in for the soon-to-come post 51. I'm not sure what it's about, yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
