no, not really a reboot.
I think you should watch last season before picking up this season. Last season (particularly the last 3rd of the season) was really good. That show ended on a really high note.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

It's not really a reboot, but the basic premise has been adjusted a bit. It's certainly still Chuck, though.

I was only half-watching, and the romance angle still annoyed the hell out of me. But then, I never saw the appeal of Chuck at all (the show, not the actor playing the titular character).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The romance angle (and my lack of conviction that Yvonne Strahovski could kick anyone's ass) ranks up there for why I never got into the show. It was just so overwrought, and it seemed clear it would be pale tease upon tease.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Maybe I'll skip to season 2.

"I know this isn't really the time, but I need to talk to you..." "Focus on the mission Chuck!" Repeat about a dozen times. There's lovestruck, and there's stupid.

Actually, I like that they seemed to have moved passed that tonight. I'm a little sad that I'm relieved there was no Buy More contingent, but hopefully they can get that back on track too. Morgan should certainly be feeling a little more confident after last night's second episode, even if no one except Chuck will ever believe him.

Ooh! New old Fringe on right now, with Kirk Acevedo in non-evil mode!

Thank God that Chuck had a preview for next week's episode.

OK, "Costa Gravas" was pretty funny.
