CC2010: CHUCK PANEL (SPOILER ALERT)

The lights dim inside of Ballroom 20 on Saturday morning. The atmosphere inside was charged with anticipation. The crowd went wild as images of Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) and the rest of the team Chuck filled the giant screen. They recap Chuck season 3. Then we are reminded about his mom. "Who could she be?", we wonder. They tease the crowd by pointing it out. And then, we know. (SPOILER ALERT)

 


A still image of the 1991 cult classic Terminator 2 depicting Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor appears out of nowhere. Can this be true?  Are they teasing some more?

Then all of the sudden the ring takes over. They try to make us their test subjects. We start seeing images similar to intersect. Then as all hope seems lost Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) and Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez) save us from death. They try to erase those images out of our brains by going through a stack of DVDs of upcoming movie releases. But nothing seems to satisfy them, and then inside the stack, way at the bottom, they find a dance video from Jeffster that might do the trick. The only problem is that this dance video can be as deadly as the Ring’s. In the video, Lester is dancing to Lady Gaga’s "Bad Romance". After a minute, they come on stage for a live performance.  

The panel included:

Zachary Levi – Chuck Bartowski

Josh and Chris shared a little about what is coming up in season 4, which starts September 20th. Here are some highlights:

  • Linda Hamilton to play Chuck’s mom
  • Season 4’s theme is around the search for Chuck’s mom, which we would get a glimpse of in the first episode
  • Casey’s daughter Alex will return
  • The dynamic of Chuck keeping Ellie out of the loop will return
  • The Buy More team will return
  • The Buy More will be CIA operated, with a re-occurring character named Greta, who will be played by different people throughout the season
  • There was a moment when an audience member asked the panel about a Chuck movie. Zachary Levi’s answer was to ask who had a million dollars. Somebody from the audience said pass a bucket. Zachary responded to that message by saying he would not be surprised if that happens, because they have the greatest fan base. A very emotional moment for Zach as well as audience members.

The panel also shared some secrets:

  • Agent Shaw (Brandon Routh) may not be completely out of the picture
  • Chuck’s dad’s office holds the new “Bat Cave”
  • Jeff would probably be the last to know Chuck’s secret
  • When asked what was their favorite moment of last year, Sarah Lancaster said that hers was hitting Casey in the head with a pan
