BalaYou gets your fix where you can, bro. It's been some years now since NBC axed Chuck, and I guess I'm not over it yet. I'm still jonesing for it. One reason I finally caved and got Netflix was so that I can binge watch Chuck whenever the urge hits me. Ain't much supplemental stuff out there about Chuck. I can't tell you how many times I've YouTubed the Chuck vs. the Podcast episodes. I'm quite thankful for G. Walter Bush's book, Unpacking Chuck, The TV Series Interpreted. It helped to feed my addiction. It's a short read, really, only Bush packs it with comprehensive and insightful literary analyses. Drawing from five seasons' worth of music and visual cues and symbolism and metaphors, he dissects the show and arrives at these thematic connections that I either completely missed out on or just wasn't able to cleanly articulate. But, perhaps most importantly to me, he makes me feel a whole lot better about the series finale's ambiguous ending (that scene at the beach left me so freaking frustrated). Whenever I'd binge watched Chuck in the past, I'd always lagged when it came to the final two episodes because they made me so sad and jittery. But Bush's interpretation of those two final episodes goes a long ways in reassuring me that everything did turn out okay for Chuck and for Sarah. About half of the book is devoted to Chuck and Sarah, and I ate those chapters up, boy. But the author doesn't neglect the rest of the core characters as other chapters break down Casey, Morgan, Ellie, Bryce Larkin, Orion, and Frost. Anyway, after reading this and the companion book, Unpacking "Chuck" 2.0: The Conversation Continues (if nothing else, read that for the chapter on Captain Awesome), I've launched another Chuck binge watch. Except now I can articulate why it's such an emotionally satisfying watch. I am alert to all the subtexts. I see you, water lilies.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. If you liked/loved Chuck then this is a good read.By VolunteerwalrusThis is a great way to revisit the series and look into the emotional struggles of the characters. Mainly about Chuck and Sara's journey it does touch on the other characters journeys as well, save Jeffster. I do wish that there had been more about them, however, maybe it was poetic that there wasn't more as this book deals with the emotional arch types found in the series. Not sure that Jeffster quite fits. As a Chuck fan I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any Chuck fan, but I would recommend rewatching the series first. I know that I'm going to start the series over as it reminded me of how much fun it was the first time, and I will watch with a more critical eye this time.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Chuck the TV Series- Give it a Chance- you too will be hooked. Netflix awaits!By Doug HollyAs an avid if not obsessive Chuck fan, I was very interested to see what this book could add to my perception of what I saw as the best show ever on TV. I waited patiently for the book to arrive and when it did..I began G. Walters journey thru the Chuck series....again! I have watched the series completely thru 22 times. This book was an AWESOME journey of the series. Its insight into backgrounds and imagery of the show was beyond my original perception, but viewing the series as many times as I have, I completely understood and followed his processes. This truly is a must read for ANY Chuck fan and a reminder of how much we miss the greatest show on TV. This will make you want for more, and for all Chuck fans, lets hope it helps lead to a Chuck Movie and a Season 6 for more of the world to discover this amazing adventure of Chuck and its characters and amazingly talented actors-Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin and many others. Thanks for reminding us of this amazing show, G. Walter and the effect it can have on many people to enjoy a show that all can watch and gleam something from it! Unpacking "Chuck": The TV Series Interpreted is just what the “Chuck” enthusiast has been waiting for! The first and only book analyzing the former NBC and current Netflix series, it digs beneath the surface of the dramatic elements of the show, addressing elements of the plot, characters, themes, and imagery from all five seasons. The author unpacks meanings embedded in the script, cinematography and musical lyrics of the audio-visual text while linking concepts throughout the series to aid interpretation. Not only does Unpacking Chuck clear up ambiguities regarding Chuck, Sarah, and their relationship, but entire chapters are devoted to Bryce Larkin, Orion, Frost, Ellie, Morgan, and three more on Casey! After reading Unpacking "Chuck", you won’t view the series in quite the same way again.
