Ugh. Watching Chuck online right now. Special appearance by Olivia "Accept me, geeks!" Munn, I see.

From what I understand, Gretta is going to be a rotating position with various hot geek babes appearing as "Gretta". Munn was just the first.
Repo Man a bit gratuitous? There's an entire generation or two that won't get that reference.

New shows are new, old shows are back, I have favorites and my TiVo is crying.
But I wait. I wait.
October 31st. Darabont. The Walking Dead.
The waiting burns within me, it burns...

Just watched Hawaii 5-0.
Looks good. Nothing too deep. Not going to give up Castle over it, but will watch it the next day.

Well looking around it appears I was wrong. Yes the role is rotating but not all of them are geek babes or even babes. The old spice guy is showing up as "Greta" for one episode and Stacy Keibler of the WWE in another.

So I was just watching Masters of the Universe the other day. Weird seeing He-Man as a badguy, and knowing the guy who played Courtney Cox's boyfriend was directing.

I saw an interview with some of the "Chuck" cast talking about how much fun it was to work with Isiah Mustafa, the Old Spice Guy. That guy has a special gift of comic timing to go along with disgustingly good looks. I'd like to see him make it big as something other than "the Old Spice Guy." I could even see him in a super hero comedy some day.

LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Of course, he played a bad guy, Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, before being a good guy.

There was a short run series over the summer two years ago on ABC Family called The Middleman, based on the comic book series of the same name. It was full of references and minutia from geeky/cult movies and TV series of the past, besides being awesome on it's own. Unfortunately ABCF wasn't really a good match for it's trope aware humor and it ended after 12 enjoyable episodes. BUY THE BOXSET NOW!
The reason for my rant is that there are some of the same shtick is now found in shows like Chuck and Warehouse 13 and "in jokes" about classic geek/cult stuff makes me smile inside.
