We’ve added 70 new screen captures to the gallery from “Chuck Versus the Nemesis.”

I give up. Any less than 70 pictures just doesn’t do the show justice, so even though I try to keep it manageable, it seems that 70 is the new ballpark.

I’m sure you guys don’t mind looking at 70 pictures of Yvonne, right?

Bryce needs to keep his hands off of Sarah. Other than that, this episode was awesome!

Enjoy!

Well, well, well. It’s been just over a month since Lykaon and I first launched Strahotski.com, and I don’t think either one of us realized how much support we’d get. We started this site not quite knowing what to expect, only knowing that Yvonne Strahovski is a beautiful and talented actress. It seems like quite a few of you readers out there agree with us!

To give you an idea of how many fans have found their way to this site, I thought I’d share some of our server stats with you.

Most of our visitors came from the US, Canada, and Australia. But we’ve also had visitors from 93 other countries, as varied as Peru, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand! Those are pretty amazing stats, and Lykaon and I are thrilled by how awesome the turnout has been. Not to mention, all the people we’ve heard from in the comments and on the forums have been totally cool.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to point out a way you can help support this site. You may have noticed Lykaon and I have added a section to the sidebar (on the bottom-right) called Got Strahovski? From there you can download episodes of Chuck from iTunes or Amazon.com, and purchase Yvonne Strahovski memorabilia from eBay. Those are all affiliate links, so a portion of each sale goes directly toward our hosting bills. There is also a PayPal donate button where you can securely send a donation via credit card, no PayPal account required.

Here we are with Episode 1.10 behind us, “Chuck Versus the Nemesis.”

It marks the return of Bryce Larkin, the further complication of our favorite relationship, and the most action-erific episode of the season.

If you’re one of those people that think Chuck is heavy on humor and too light on action, then this episode is for you. There are more guns, kicks, and stand-offs than you can shake a stick at. Ms. Yvonne Strahovski kicks major butt in this episode.

At the same time, this storyline is completely heart-wrenching. It’s everything you remember about high school love, and everything you hated about it at the same time. But it’s wonderful.

We’re not really left with any more of an answer than we had the week before, but it doesn’t matter.

For once, Morgan is actually tons of fun this episode. His triangle with Ana and Ellie is a delight to watch. And we always have Captain Awesome, who’s … amazing … as always.

Yvonne was particularly wonderful this episode. She managed to look ’stressed’ the entire episode, while remaining beautiful and convincing.

You could actually see the agony of her situation weighing on her in every seen, hidden behind whatever emotion she needed to convey.

I’ve said it before, but this girl is no fly-by-night tv beauty. She’s one of the best actresses to hit television in years.

Although last week’s cliffhanger was pretty awesome, this one may just tug at your heart strings a little bit more and make you eager to see next week’s episode.

As always, you can expect HD screen captures from the episode tomorrow afternoon. Until then, discuss the episode here or in more detail on the forums!

Note: The word ‘Nemeses’ is the plural of ‘Nemesis’ and is not a typo.

Hot off the presses, it looks like NBC has optioned Chuck for the full season.

For those who didn’t know, Chuck had only been optioned for 13 episodes, and it was unclear whether the show would be picked up for the entire season.

According to the TV Guide article:

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the Peacock has picked up Chuck and Life for the full season.

It’s great to hear that NBC heard the buzz and saw the fans behind the show. We Yvonne Strahovski fans no doubt helped them make their decision!

That means more screen captures, more Yvonne, and more of a great television show for everyone!

Thanks to reader Mat for the tip on the forums.

I came back from my Thanksgiving vacation to get my first Christmas present of the season — 25 screen captures from the KTLA Interview on November 20, 2007 with Yvonne.

Since Strahotski.com is based on the east coast, I was concerned that we might miss out on this whole interview, but thanks to many loyal readers and even the webmaster over at KTLA, we’ve managed to get everything we could hope for!

Thanks again to Ludwig for coming through with these captures.
