The actors on Chuck are gamers, both on the the show and off. Both Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez use their celebrity status to infiltrate gaming conventions and studios alike. Two of the other actors on Chuck also played major roles in one of our favorite games of all time Mass Effect 2. In Mass Effect 2 Yvonne Strahovski played the role of Miranda Lawson, a powerful biotic and potential love interest for Commander Shepard (should he have the skills to warm her icy heart). On Chuck however, Yvonne normally looks nothing like her Mass Effect 2 Character Miranda. That is of course until now. Recently Yvonne’s character Sarah has been forced to go under cover to infiltrate the “bad guys”. Her look is remarkably similar to that of Mass Effect 2’s Miranda. So much so, that the writers and producers decided to throw in a line about a certain “suicide mission”. The line is near the end of the clip.
Oh yeah, and if you’re not watching Chuck you’re missing one of the most enjoyable action/comedies in years.
Why I won’t be returning: In all honesty it felt like sitting down with an old girlfriend for a cup of coffee. You sit across from each other and and have that moment when you slowly realize why you’re not still together. All of her quirks and faults that you once found endearing are now just annoying as hell. You may always love aspects of her, but you now fully realize her time is totally up… just like WOW.
Certain concepts sound like a disaster waiting to happen. Mixing a class based first person shooter with the Batman franchise shouldn’t work… but it does.
