Quest for Yvonne Day #2

Well I finally made it to New York.  Lykaon made me wear a seatbelt, of course, which I find disdainful.  Real bears don’t wear seatbelts and neither should I.

Mrs. Lykaon told me that my bow didn’t match my shirt and that if I was going to impress Ms. Yvonne Strahovski I would surely have to change it to a pink bow.  Pink bows aren’t very manly, but Mrs. Lykaon is a pretty lady too so she must know what the pretty ladies like.

After the 4 hour drive, Lykaon left me in the hotel room while he went out on the town.  He didn’t even leave me the password to his computer so I could blog!

It wasn’t all for nought, though.  Lykaon and Mrs. Lykaon took the NBC Studio Tour.  No sightings of Yvonne there, but they did pick up some official Chuck gear.  (And they saw a few of the SNL cast which was a bonus)

It’s only one more day until I finally get to meet Ms. Strahovski.  At least I hope I get to meet her.  Not only is she a lot prettier than Lykaon, but I think she’s got to be nicer.  They made me sleep on the couch last night with only a Strahotski.com t-shirt to cover up with!

I’ll keep you updated.  I’ll make sure Lykaon takes his camera and voice recorder to the panel so that we can get maximum Yvonne coverage.

New York Comic Con

Hi!  Strahotski Bear here.  I’m a new contributor to Strahotski.com; and in fact new to this world in general.

It all started when Lykaon custom ordered me from the Strahotski.com store.  It was a rough trip in a plastic bag for a few days, but I finally found my way to him.

Apparently, I’m to get a new owner in the next few days.  I’m very excited to meet Yvonne Strahovski, but if I am unable to meet her I guess I will have to live with Lykaon a while longer.

Since Lykaon is so very busy, I thought I would chronicle our trip to New York City to see Ms. Strahovski at the New York Comic Con.

Will we get to meet her?  Or ask her a question?

We just don’t know right now, but if all goes well I will find myself staying with Yvonne.  Wish us luck!

All’s Quiet?

strahovski-ep108-009.jpgIt may seem that Strahotski.com has taken a little vacation from news since the last episode of Chuck.

And it’s true that I use the lull in Yvonne Strahovski screen time to take a breather from screen capturing and review writing, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing happening.

If you haven’t been hanging out in our forums, then you’ve been missing out on some juicy stuff!

Besides awesome conversation, and what has turned into a great community, you’ll find tons of pictures from various sources, previews of upcoming Chuck episodes, and even a Fan Map, plotting Yvonne Strahovski fans across the globe.

Here are some links to some of the exciting threads going on these days:

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.  There are tons of links to pictures that can be found in those threads, most of which aren’t hosted in our main gallery.

In addition, we’ve promoted long time readers Devon and Scott to moderators on the forums.

Congratulations to them, and a big thanks to all of the Strahotski Forums participants. You’ve kept Yvonne Strahovski in sight during the long dark hiatus.

So stop on by our forums for a look around, and if you’re feeling chatty, register and post. We love new fans on the Strahotski Forums!

Happy 26th Yvonne!

Lykaon, Rob, myself, and everyone from the forums wish you a very wonderful, exciting, and fulfilling Happy Birthday Yvonne!

Yvonne on DVD

I know it’s been a while between updates. Although Yvonne has been here and there, we’ve not come across any particularly juicy tidbits with pics that we had a right to post.

You can always check our forums, though, where the fans frequently post pics and info about Yvonne’s appearances at parties and such.

On to the news — Digital Bits is reporting that Chuck has been announced for the first season release of the DVDs.

Included will be:

  • 4-disc set with all Season 1 episodes in anamorphic widescreen video with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio
  • Declassified Scenes (deleted scenes)
  • 2 featurettes (Chuck’s World and Chuck on Chuck)
  • Chuck vs. the Chuckles gag reel
  • Chuck’s Online World gallery of web originated mini-featurettes
  • Playable demo of EA Sports’ Madden NFL 2009 for the Xbox 360

No word on whether the set will be release in Blu-Ray at this time, but it looks like quite a collection of fun which is sure to yield lots of new screen captures for all of those anxiously awaiting more Yvonne.

Downside is that it’s not scheduled for release until September 16, 2008. That’s a few months away, but that date does give us a heads up on when the new season will start.

Generally, these sorts of DVD sets are released a week or two before the next season starts so we should be seeing Season 2 of Chuck shortly after 9/16.

I know I’m excited about this. Hopefully the lovely Yvonne Strahovski gets ample time in the special features. :)

UPDATE 2: It looks like Amazon.com has Chuck – The Complete First Season up for preorder. As luck would have it, they’re currently having a sale on TV DVDs.- Rob
