Just a gentle reminder to all of my fellow CHUCK fans that a new episode airs this week on NBC.  The Olympics are over — and what fine Olympics they were — and now it’s time for some fresh CHUCK.

In this week’s episode, "Chuck vs. The Fake Name", Chuck promises to cook dinner for Hannah, Ellie and Awesome but must first assume the identity of the world’s most dangerous assassin for his latest mission.  Meanwhile, Sarah is determined to keep her relationship with Shaw strictly professional.  Kristin Kreuk guest stars as Hannah, Chuck’s new girlfriend, and Brandon Routh guest stars as Shaw.  More info behind the cut.

Big Apple Browncoats and CASTLE fans should keep a look out for Nathan Fillion in NYC this week.  Word has it that not only is our favorite mystery writer / sleuth / Cap in town for  Cosmopolitan Magazine’s" Fun Fearless Male of the Year" party, but he will also be a guest on ABC’s THE VIEW on Monday, March 1st.  More info behind the cut.

There are still a few tickets left for a special one-night extended Meet & Greet event with Nicholas Brendon.  Fifteen fans will get to meet & eat with Nick following the March 13, 2010 performance of Why Torture Is Wrong, And The People Who Love Them at the Stella Adler Theatre in Los Angeles. (Tickets to the show are not included; they can be purchased from The Blank Theatre Co.)  More details including how to buy tickets to the Meet & Greet are here Nick at Night: A Nicholas Brendon Meet-and-Greet Event

Take Flight, Juliet Landau’s short film which is described on the official website as follows:

Gary Oldman directed a music video for the Jewish Hip Hop band Chutzpah. The video was shot on Nokia cell phones. What started out solely as a behind the scenes “making of,” turned into a film about Gary’s creative process. Much of the film is told from Gary’s POV as he operates one of the “cell-cams.” We are inside his brain, if you will, seeing the genesis of his ideas and then his precision in carrying them out. Watching Gary work in this way truly celebrates the spirit of Independent, no-budget filmmaking, where innovation and talent reign. Ultimately achieving a seamless creative flow, his playful, childlike freedom of expression and exploration take flight.

Is now available for viewing over on the official Take Flight website.

Mark your calendars! The Chicago Slay-A-Thon for the Make-A-Wish Foundation will be held June 19, 2010!    A 12-hour marathon watching some of the best episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, meeting and laughing with other Whedon fans, and having a great time while simultaneously raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Illinois.
