I do think Socks has the hots for Sam, though. There’ve been two or three very distinct, though fleeting, homoerotic moments there.

Sheesh, I’d say that’s a _conservative_ estimate.

I swear if you listen you can hear the tap-tap-tap of slash fic writers’ keyboards going off like mad at least a few times each episode.

Liked Chuck’s first episode. Okay, just the first scene in the big white room. And lurve Adam Baldwin. But the main character just isn’t cute or charismatic enough, especially when everyone around him is constantly saying things like ‘For some reason, people seem to like you.’ Like a poor woman’s Jimmy Fallon. And the sidekick is a poor woman’s Charlie Day.

Oh, and I’m not a huge fan of the 20-something hot chick finding a reason to strip down in every. single. episode.

I saw part of the Chuck pilot, & thought it was too slapstick & dumb. But I saw a later episode & it was kind of cute.
