Chuck - season 5 and more

In the continuing parade of "Hey, it's X" guest stars on Chuck - S5E2 has a younger Justin Hartley (Kevin on This is Us). Plus, same episode - Carrie-Anne Moss (Matrix, also the obscure FX: the Series) and Jeff Fahey (the equally obscure 6-episode flash-in-the-pan The Marshal).  Then, next episode, Morgan goes rogue, and we find out why Jeff is so Jeff.

The premiere for this season had Mark Hamill, Richard Burgi, and Ethan Phillilps, who I recognized by voice alone. 

I'm up to the season 4 finale of Chuck, and it's awesome. Lester's creepy video, Jeff's nice one, and now Chuck's going all rogue rebel with a super-secret motorcycle. Plus, Linda Hamilton, Timothy Dalton, and Richard Burgi.

Rewatching Chuck and TV news

The big Chuck re-watch is almost to the end of Season 4.  I'd forgotten how many well-known guest stars they had - Linda Hamilton, Timothy Dalton, Gary Cole, and loads more.  And my favorite, Scott Bakula. 

I watched this on the original run, but I'd totally forgotten that the Awesomes had a baby in Season 4. 

In other TV news, the Mohu Leaf 50 antenna, when put in the right window upstairs, can pull in between 16 and 20 channels, including the CBS affiliate that has a surprisingly weak signal.  So, in spite of the tree blocking the Dish, we can watch the network shows again.  Just in time, CBS started a lot of new stuff last night, and they're fickle about what they put up OnDemand.

The Eureka re-watch is finished.  On to Chuck, and I'm finishing Season 2 right now.  Scott Bakula, Chevy Chase, Bruce Boxleitner, all in one episode.  Wowza
