Chuck Season Two DVD and Blu-ray Details

Warner has finally released the full details for Chuck: The Complete Second Season, coming on DVD and Blu-ray. It looks like all 6 discs will be hitting stores on January 5th, and will include 3D glasses for Chuck vs. the Third Dimension. :)

Available for pre-order on Amazon.com:

Special features will include:

  • Truth, Spies and Regular Guys: Exploring the Mythology of Chuck
  • Dude in Distress: Explore Some of This Season’s Best Action Sequences
  • Chuck Versus the Webisodes: Web-Originated Minifeaturettes
  • Chuck: A Real-Life Captain Awesome’s Tips for Being Awesome
  • John Casey Presents: So You Want to Be a Deadly Spy?
  • Declassified Scenes
  • Gag Reel

I don’t know about you, but I think A Real-Life Captain Awesome’s Tips for Being Awesome sounds pretty hilarious.

Also, don’t forget that Yvonne will be appearing (albeit in digital form) in Mass Effect 2, which will be hitting PC and Xbox 360 on January 26th. I think that’s her on the cover.

UPDATE: Reader Mike pointed out that if you zoom in on the Mass Effect 2 cover on Amazon’s site, you can clearly see that it is in fact Yvonne on the cover:

Missing Yvonne

I know I haven’t updated in a while, but there really hasn’t been a lot of news.  The folks on the forums are keeping everyone well updated with random appearances and Chuck discussion.

Though we don’t receive permission to put all photos in our official gallery, the forums keep’em coming in the New Pictures thread.  Be sure to check that out if you’re not a forum regular.

It may be a cold dark time for those of us jonesing for some Yvonne Strahovski, but with Chuck Season 3 filming underway and a few side projects of Ms. Strahovski on the way there’s sure to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

The most immediate thing to watch out for is Yvonne in a small film called The Canyon.  We’ve mentioned in before on the site, but Amazon has it listed finally with a current release date of November 17.

Some of you may also remember that Yvonne has provided her voice and face to Mass Effect 2, due out on all the major consoles in January.  The resemblance is certainly uncanny.

You can also get some Yvonne when Chuck Season 2 hits DVD and Blu-ray.  The release date hasn’t been finalized yet, but we can probably expect it a couple of weeks before the start of Season 3 in March.

Other than that, we sit and wait.  There’s always stuff to discuss in the forums, whether Yvonne Strahovski related or not.  And, of course, the gallery never gets old — full of beauty with over 2,000 photos.

I miss Yvonne!  How ’bout you guys?

Yvonne at Comic-Con

Yesterday was Comic-Con 2009, and the whole Chuck cast was there in San Diego to thank the fans for saving the show, and to talk about next season. Yvonne was beautiful as always, but unfortunately didn’t get to answer a lot of questions on the panel.

She did, however, get to dance to a hilarious live performance by Jeffster:

In addition to the panels, there are always lots of interviews and press appearances at Comic-Con. Our lovely Yvonne gave a great interview to Kevin Pereira from G4’s Attack of the Show. I can never get enough of the Aussie Accent Awesomeness:

You can find more Comic-Con coverage, including tons of pictures in our forums.

If you were at the Con and have some pictures you’d like us to share, send them our way!

More Chuck, More Movies, More Yvonne!

Although NBC has not officially held its upfront yet, the news is pouring in via a number of sources that Chuck has been renewed for a third season.

The caveat is that it’s only for 13 episodes (with a potential back-9 pickup) and there’s going to be some budget cutting.

Exactly how the budget is going to be cut isn’t yet released, but expect to see some minor characters reduced in scope and possibly eliminated altogether.  It is also reported that the show is going to lose a couple of staff writers.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Yvonne Strahovski is not in danger of getting the boot.

In addition to at least 13 more episodes of Sarah Walker, there has also been news that Yvonne Strahovski is set to star in at least two more films in addition to “I Love You Too” announced late last month.

The ever-loyal Strahotski forumners have created threads dedicated to each, a heretofore unnamed project and a movie called “Shadows from the Sky.”

Though both are early in development and it is not entirely clear how big of a role Ms. Strahovski will play, I’m sure you’re all with me when I say that any amount of Yvonne is a great thing!

So check out the forum threads, and breathe a collective sigh of relief.  Whether it was the “Save Chuck” campaign, divine intervention, or just good business — Chuck is back!

Edit: The official announcement has been released.  It looks like we won’t be seeing Chuck back until March, though. :(

Episode 2.22 Captures

Though it doesn’t quite live up to last week’s Yvonne Strahovski binge, the season finale of Chuck has brought in a respectable 72 new screen captures from Episode 2.22 – Chuck Versus the Ring.

The thing about Robbie McNeill’s directing is that he loves to get close-ups of Yvonne’s face.  Honestly, who wouldn’t?  I appreciate his attention to the details of Ms. Strahovski’s amazing facial expressions.

Though I require that Yvonne be part of every picture, I did try to sneak in a few where she wasn’t the main focus of the picture.  Surely everyone wants to see the aftermath of Chuck’s kung fu spree, or the loving gaze of Awesome and Ellie.

And if you need a soundtrack to your screen capture viewing, be sure to check out our music page where Rob has updated the songs for this latest episode.

Enjoy!
