ONE-SHEET SPOILERAGE: A few notes on the new Chuck poster, at which Fedak gave Alan Sepinwall the first look, maybe as a token of thanks for Sepinwall moderating the Chuck Comic-Con panel tomorrow:
  • They're taking the 80s influence to another level. It takes cues from the semirealistic illustrated posters for Big Trouble in Little China, Goonies, Caveman (kind of), and Meatballs, among other 80s comedies.
  • I never noticed how much Chuck and Sarah look like Greg Brady and an edgier Marcia Brady. Now that I've seen it, I'm going to want to unsee it the first time they start making out.
  • Tony Hale is the only regular from last season missing from the poster, so it looks like the denials of casting cuts were mostly accurate.
  • Speaking of the missing Tony Hale, Big Mike is back in his manager's clothes, and Morgan is back in his Buy More polo.
  • And Chuck is still wearing his Nerd Herd gear and apparently driving the tricked-out Nerd Herd car. I kind of wanted him to be done with the Buy More.
  • But what's that gun he's holding? I have to wait until January to find out?
Sorry if that's excessive geeking out.
