OOC: Chuck meets Heroes

Came across this interview with Zachary Levi and Adam Baldwin. There's a section where Zach talks about the idea of such a crossover.

Kinda funny...some of it is kinda on the lines of what some us muns discussed. *g*

I'd think that would be fun if NBC ever did it since I like both shows.

I get what Zach's saying about how there could be a difference of the tone of the show, but if it was a sorta 'Company wants to use Chuck for their own purposes' plot, that could keep in the Heroes dramatic tone, I think.

Surprisingly, I haven't really thought about it. Although, thinking about it, Awesome/Casey would definitely work. I could, also, see Chuck/Bryce (but after Bryce comes back).

The Thanksgiving dinner scene had its moments. But again, just maybe me there.

Oh that would be weird putting those two together. At least to me.

Of course in my head, Chuck turns on a dime on how he feels about Bryce. He respects some things about him but still has some moments where he wishes he could have a free shot and punch him.

Oh yeah, the Thanksgiving dinner was a hoot!

I think that's why I see it with Chuck and Bryce. There's a respect each of them have for the other, but there's still the very sore spot between them. Makes for more angst (which is rather strange to think about for "Chuck").

Sometimes I think Awesome needs to be on more. *g*

Angst yes, definitely. Not so weird the show has it since it's not a straight up comedy. At least to me. If you got dramatic elements, angst sorta shows up.

There are a couple spots I think with Chuck towards Bryce. While he knows why Bryce got him kicked out of Stanford, Bryce doesn't (or shouldn't) know that Chuck knows the truth. And yet, he never attempted to defend or say anything to address that when Chuck called him out on it.

And of course, there's the love triangle with Sarah. Plus Bryce was a bit cold with the whole 'you live with your sister?' That he said he was sorry for at least.

Yeah, Awesome kills me.

That's true. There is enough drama that angst isn't too completely out of place (as opposed to say "Scrubs").

I always felt that Bryce felt relieved that Chuck knew. That it was something had bothered him since the day it happened.

Ah yes, OT3 - Chuck/Bryce/Sarah...

It's kinda hard to go from being a near-genius at Stanford to being the head of the Nerd Herd and Bryce has to feel horrible seeing what's happened to Chuck because of what he's done.

Right, right. Sometimes on 'Scrubs' they'd get a little too dramatic and it would seem out of place. At least to me.

But I don't think Bryce knows that Chuck knows the truth about why he was kicked out of Stanford. Because when Bryce is outside Chuck's apartment and asks to talk to Sarah, Chuck says flat out to Bryce, "You got me kicked out of Stanford" in a rather cold tone. Bryce doesn't say anything about it and Chuck doesn't say something to the effect of "you might have had good intentions though."

So part of me thinks Bryce doesn't know that Chuck knows. But it's hard to say.

Yeah, definite OT3.

I think you're right about Bryce feeling bad about what he did though but I think it took some time for Bryce to understand the repercussions of what he did first.

The show never explained why Chuck couldn't get a better job than the one he has now. But my thought is the background checks companies do really hurt Chuck's chances. Maybe they came back with 'expelled' as the reason for not completing the degree, you know?

Yeah, drama on "Scrubs" just doesn't fit unless it's OTT.

I dunno. I think Bryce might be somewhat suspicious that Chuck knows. After all, it wouldn't be news to either of them that Bryce got Chuck kicked out, but the way Chuck brings it up would probably clue him in that Chuck knows.

Actually, the fact that he supposedly cheated and got expelled would definitely keep most companies from touching him with a 10yard pole.

Yup.

Hmm maybe. But Chuck says after that, "Why would I help you?" If he acted like he knew, I don't think he would have said that. Just my thought.

Yeah. There was no way he could prove he was wrongfully accused. If he could, then he'd have a shot maybe.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-21 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Considering that Chuck's still very unhappy about the fact that his life is in shreds, I don't think he'd want to help Bryce anyway. Especially with Sarah in the mix. So, I can still see him saying that whether or not he knows.

Yup. Poor Chuck. Life is miserable.

Hmm. That's true. It could be just all the bitterness coming out.

*pets Chuck*

Frustration, too. The whole, "I know you screwed me, but I can't prove it" thing. It's got to hurt in a lot of ways.

*Hiro brings him a pizza.* Life cannot be too bad if you have a pizza. *And he didn't even get it from Japan.*

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2007-12-21 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's like "I know you screwed me, but you sorta did it to save me. But by saving me, you made my life kinda pathetic. And even though I know you saved me, I dunno if I can let you know that."

Or something. Way too complicated. *g*

Pizza is good. Pizza is very good. *Chuck thanks Hiro and happily munches on a slice.*

Yup. Life sucks when your best friend thinks he's looking out for you.

Japanese pizza has corn. Apparently you pretty much can't get pizza in Japan without it.

Pizza with corn. Different...

Yeah, it weirds me out when my friends talk about it.
