Happy Halloween!

When reader and avid forum-goer Radi8n asked her daughter what she wanted to be for Halloween, she didn’t hesitate — Sarah Walker!

sarah-walker-halloweenLofty dreams indeed, but a good parent lives to make their kids’ dreams come true and this was no exception.

A little bit of shopping around, and a plastic throwing knife later, out came a pint-sized Sarah Walker.

I’m told that she enjoys throwing her knife around just like our favorite agent, but no word on whether she can make a mean frozen yogurt.

I don’t know if mini-Sarah has any older brothers but if she does, they should be afraid — very afraid.

Did Yvonne Strahovski or Chuck inspire you to make a cool Halloween costume?  If so, send pics our way at submissions@strahotski.com.

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?

Happy Birthday, Yvonne!

July 30 is a momentous day in history. It was this day only a few decades ago (we won’t discuss a lady’s age), when Yvonne Strahovski was born Maroubra, Sydney in the country of Australia.

These days she wows us as Sarah Walker in Chuck, along with a few other roles coming our way before too long.

Strahotski.com doesn’t have a lot to offer Ms. Strahovski in the way of gifts, but we do recognize this special day. Though it may not be special for everyone in the world, it means something for a fan-site dedicated to Yvonne’s career.

On behalf of Rob, Devon, Scott, myself and all of the loyal fans of Ms. Strahovski, we wish Yvonne a very happy birthday! Here’s to hoping we’ll be celebrating her successful career for many years to come.

(This may seem early, but it is already the 30th in Australia, so her birthday has technically already arrived)

Be sure to leave a comment expressing your birthday wishes for Ms. Strahovski!

Double A Paper

We usually only get to see Yvonne Strahovski kickin’ butt as Sarah Walker, but a reader has emailed in this awesome video of Yvonne in a paper commercial from Australia.

Looks like she started practicing her action moves long before Chuck and Sarah Walker! They totally need to recreate that scene at the Buy More.

It may just be a paper commercial, but Yvonne Strahovski’s classic facial expressions are well-suited for the ad.

Yvonne’s presence aside, that’s a really clever paper commercial. That’s Super Bowl level laughs in my opinion!

Save Chuck: Letter Writing Campaign

Editor’s Note: I’ve bumped this post to remind people to send their letters.  There are a number of other initiatives online to help out as well which you can find in our forums.

strahovski-ep106-034.JPGAs some of you may already know, a number of fan sites in the Chuck community have called for fans of Chuck to write letters to NBC to ask for renewal of the show.

These letters could be as simple as a plea for renewal, or more complex with some personal feelings about the show and what it means to you.

I’ve already mailed my letter off, and I urge you all to do the same if you feel so inclined.  Sending a letter via snail mail makes a much bigger statement than simply typing a few words on the computer, or signing an online petition.

The address(es) for mailing letters to NBC is:

NBC’s Chuck
3000 W Alameda Ave
Burbank, CA 91523

Ben Silverman
Co-Chairman
3000 W. Alameda
Admin Building
Burbank, CA 91523

Angela Bromstad
President of Primetime Series
100 Universal City Plaza
Bldg 1320, 4th Floor
Universal City, CA 91608

I imagine the first two addresses end up in the same place. I only sent my letter to the first, but it is at the sender’s discretion which address to choose.

We try to keep the main site clutter free, but we all want Chuck Season 3.  More Chuck means more Yvonne Strahovski, and if you’re a fan of Strahotski.com then you’re also a fan of Yvonne!

I’ve also started a thread in our forums where you can post your letter.  I’ve posted mine there and I’m eager to read others!

Be sure to check out the awesome postcards that were posted in the thread for an alternative to a letter.
