First episode...he saw Sarah kill someone then too and he got freaked out then as well. You would think at this point he is able to look past stuff like this.

Sometimes, I wonder if writers even think before writing up a script. Honestly...

What I'm trying to say is that they were different situations. This time, the guy was surrendering, placing neither of them in any immediate threat. She killed him anyway, and that is what shocked him.

:yes: and also that first time Chuck saw Sarah kill someone was in a flash, not in person.

I thought that his reaction was over-emphasized. She killed a man to protect chuck because she knew that if that man was detained that other fulcrum agents would be able to get to him.

Chuck knew this as well because he overheard the conversation. This was another sign of proof that Sarah still has feelings for Chuck

He didn't over hear the conversation, that's partially why he was shocked..

You will have time to catch up, it won't be back until February 2nd

Another six weeks before it airs? Oh well... It was a good episode to finish up there year, much better than some of the other shows out there.

'Chuck' exclusive: Scott Bakula spies pivotal role

scottbakula_l.jpg

Major casting news just in from TV's best comedy: Scott Bakula is Chuck's dad!

Chuck boss Josh Schwartz confirms to me exclusively that Bakula has inked a deal to play the estranged father of Zachary Levi's title character in at least three episodes.

"Chuck made a promise to his sister, Ellie [sarah Lancaster], that he was going to find their dad in time for her wedding," Schwartz explains. "And it's something that Chuck becomes consumed with pursuing during the second half of the season.

"But when he finds him, he's not necessarily a guy who wants to be found," Schwartz continues. "He's living in a trailer, he's disheveled, he's paranoid and he's claiming constantly that Ted Roark [Chevy Chase] -- who he used to work with -- stole all his ideas from him. And Ted Roark has now become this super-successful software billionaire, and Chuck's dad has become an eccentric, living in the shadows."

Look for Bakula's arc to kick off in April.

Other news at NBC's session:

* "The Philanthropist" with Jesse L. Martin, Neve Campbell and James Purefoy is still on tap for a potential midseason bow -- which would make for an even busier spring for new NBC series. According to Bromstad, movement on the show was delayed after thesp James Purefoy pulled a hamstring; he's since healed.

* Bromstad said "Lipstick Jungle" isn't dead -- at least not yet -- but the long-term future of shows like "Chuck" and "Life" are also still uncertain.

* The Peacock also announced that Conan O'Brien's last night on "Late Night" will be Feb. 20, with Jimmy Fallon taking over on March 2.

* NBC's Amy Poehler show -- still untitled -- will air Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. (in place of "Kath and Kim") starting April 9, while reality competish "The Chopping Block" will air Wednesdays at 8 starting March 11.

* As previously noted, "Kings" with Ian McShane -- originally slated for Thursdays -- will air on Sundays at 8 p.m. beginning in March.

Chevy Chase will be joining Chuck for a few episodes...

Chase has signed on to join the cast of the spy comedy for three episodes late this season, playing "a mega-billionaire in the new-media business" who's accused by Chuck's returned father of stealing ideas. He's just the latest in the increasingly-long line of high-profile guest-stars for the show; in addition to Richie and Alias' Carl Lumbly, we're still waiting on appearances from Lost's Dominic Monaghan and Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer.

Chuck - More on Scott Bakula and Chevy Chase

You already know that Scott Bakula will be playing Zachary Levi's dad on Chuck later this season. But now, thanks to the NBC publicity machine, we know a little bit more about what he'll be doing on the show.

Earlier in the season, Chuck (Levi) promised his sister, Ellie (Sarah Lancaster), that he'd find their estranged dad before her wedding to Captain Awesome (Ryan McPartlin). He'll accomplish that task later this season, but when he does track his father down, he's not quite prepared for what he finds.

The elder Bartowski (Bakula), Chuck discovers, is a paranoid mess of a man who lives in a trailer who claims that software magnate Ted Roark has stolen all his ideas.

Roark will be played by Chevy Chase, who signed on for a three-episode arc earlier this month. Chuck has long looked up to Roark -- and has few lingering feelings for his absent dad -- but presumably the discovery that Roark and his dad used to work together will cause Chuck to rethink things.

Bakula got the job, Chuck co-creator Josh Schwartz says, because he and fellow creator Chris Fedak are "huge Quantum Leap fans" and see the same ability to handle comedy, drama and action in him that they see in Levi.

NBC doesn't have exact airdates for Bakula's arc yet, but you can expect the episodes to air sometime in the spring.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
