Cute Yvonne Strahovski

I don’t usually make tiny posts like this, but forum-reader Sandrinha whipped up an animated gif of Yvonne that I just cannot ignore.

It’s taken from the Chuck Season 1 gag reel and it shows Yvonne reacting to a stunt gone bad.

(It might take a sec to load… be patient…)

I think we can all agree that Yvonne Strahovski adds adorable to other favorite adjectives, like hot, gorgeous, and beautiful.

Episode 3.06 Captures

I’ve sifted through an added a quality 64 new screen captures to the gallery for Episode 3.06 – Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler.

This episode offered some phenomenal shots of Yvonne Strahovski.  There are the obvious caps of the ‘Frak Off’ shirt and the bedroom scene afterward, but also some really fun facial expressions.

I’m sure that some people will notice that there are some missing shots that certainly happened in the show.  It’s a fine line to walk between capturing what’s there tastefully and not.  It’s only a judgment call by me, but some things didn’t make the cut on those grounds.

Also be sure to check out the Episode 6 Music.  If you like a song, buy it! Any proceeds from buying through those links go directly towards paying for Strahotski.com hosting costs.

Enjoy!

Strahovski and Nacho Samplers

So after having a slightly unpopular opinion about last week’s episode, I’m taking a break from Mass Effect 2 and my budding relationship with Miranda Lawson.

It’s hard to pull myself away, but the show must go on and it’s time to review Episode 3.06 – Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler.

“Yogurt Time!”

Today I’m gonna start off talking about Adam Baldwin.  I just renewed my HeroOfCanton.com domain name and this episode reminded me why.  This episode was filled with Casey cracks.

I loved the ‘yogurt time’ moments when Chuck kept getting pulled away from Hannah.  It’s interesting that they’re using Kristin Kreuk in such small doses, but I like that she feels like a real new cast member of the Buy More.

By the way, does anyone else find it funny that Anna left the Nerd Herd and she’s been replaced by Hannah?  It is now my challenge to the writers to have a revolving crew of Nerd Herd females that all rhyme with Anna.

“It’s like I’m married to Morgan!”

I have a weak spot for Ellie and Awesome.  I don’t know what it is about them, but if they’re in the episode I’m automatically going to like it that much more.

It’s interesting to see Chuck’s trip to Paris make such an impact.  I like it much better when little things like that make waves than when they set up huge arcs that you can see coming from a mile away.

It’s funny that Awesome is such a bad liar.  It’s the one thing he’s not good at, and I like that Ellie can see right through him.  I also like that Chuck can so easily lie to Ellie at this point.  Having Awesome in constant awe of Chuck is a very satisfying plot device.

“Take it easy, Tranqenstein.”

I led with Adam Baldwin, but let’s talk about Weap-Con!  That’s some hilarious stuff.  It’s like CES for gun nuts.  I like it a lot when they hint at character idiosyncrasies like the fact that Casey attends every year.

Casey had more worthy quotes in this episode than I can possibly fit into a review.  The eunuch quote comes to mind.

I also like the awkward humor that naturally comes from Chuck having to get close to Casey in any situation.  The retrieval of the laser pen hearkened back to the ill-fated kiss between the two last season.

I Love You Too

As many of you surely already know, Yvonne Strahovski has already filmed I Love You Too, an Australian romantic comedy by Peter Helliar.

No clear picture of when the movie will hit state-side, but a new trailer has been released!

Check it out at Herald Sun: Trailer for I Love You Too.

My apologies for not embedding the video.  For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to embed their player.

EDIT: YouTube video embedded. It blows out the column a little bit, but oh well.

Episode 3.05 Captures

She may have sported only two outfits, but Yvonne Strahovski was still her stunningly beautiful self, resulting in a lean 42 screen captures from Episode 3.05 – Chuck Versus First Class.

As the number of comments have attested, I was a little harsh on this episode.  Playing it back, perhaps I failed to point out some of the really nice parts of the episode.  One of these was Mama-Bear Sarah whose concern for Chuck’s safety was very endearing.

If you love screens that capture the many beautiful facial expressions of Yvonne Strahovski, then this episode is what you’ve been looking for.  She shows all sorts of emotions across the set, and I absolutely love it!

Also, though is not screen capture related, I was called out for failing to mention Hannah in my review.

For the record, I did like Kristin Kreuk and I look forward to her being on the show more.  She may suffer from UNeTYS (Ugly Next to Yvonne Syndrome), but she’s perhaps cute enough to get only a mild case.

Edit by Rob: I’ve added the music from the episode as well. Last two songs are my faves.

Enjoy!
