Title: ep Oct 27
Post by: Pearl@32 on October 29, 2008, 06:40:22 PM
I didn't see a thread started.

"Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer."

That song was MADE for video gaming before video games were even mainstream.

I don't think there's a guy on this PLANET who doesn't love that song.

[spoiler]Good ep. It's nice that Chuck finally has a degree. It's the least the CIA could do since Bryce "messed things up" for him.[/spoiler]

It's nice they're starting to flesh out the other characters.

And can anyone tell me WHY Casey is never at any of the meetings and WHY he never gets in trouble? Hmmm?
[spoiler]He was not in the "lineup review" by the Buy More efficiency expert.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That's EXACTLY what I was thinking...he'd get a 'recommendation' from a 'big wig' at 'corporate' that Big Mike just can't say 'no' to! hehe. And yeah, I did notice he wasn't at the 'line up'.

You know, I want to know more 'back story' on Chuck's parents. Remember the 'Mother's Day' ep? I'm lovin' this show more and more.[/spoiler]

  I too love the way this show is getting fleshed out. Really great episode and yet being a Mom and finding out he
only had 12 credits to do before getting his degree you want to just smack him.  :laugh: Can you tell I've been
there done that. :) My oldest daughter didn't finish her degree until 2 weeks before she had her 2nd baby which was
a decade ago but several years after college. I'm sure the poor teacher that gave her that final test was really sweating
it that  she would make it through since my daughter was extremely large with that baby. She said when she came in
to take the test that he had a horrified look on his face.  :laugh:

No way dude!!!! Rush is an OLD band... Formed in '68, became a sensation in '74, release over 25 albums (studio+live) between '74-'07... One of the best things to come out of Canada that isn't s sexy woman. ;)


Some of my favorite Rush songs...

Finding My Way
Closer to the Heart
The Spirit of Radio
Working Man
A Passage to Bangkok
2112: Overture/The Temples of Syrinx
Freewill
Tom Sawyer

  I couldn't believe she finally decided to finish that Latin credit then but I guess it was the best time for her since two
little ones was going to take a lot of time. She said the look on his face was so priceless that it was all she could do
not to give a few moans while she was taking the test.  :haha:

huh. I guess I will have to look for the songs to give a listen...see if they are familiar. I know there are alot of songs I like that I'm not aware of the artist.

In High School I was all about the 'crush' of Donny Osmond, the theatrical/artist 'look' of Kiss and Alice Cooper, the romantic lyrics of Elton John and Barry Manilow....
