Seeing as how there has been tons of awesome ideas for what Casey or Sarah could have said in their daily blogs, I thought I would start a new topic forum that is devoted to VLogs. There are over 560 days where we can consider Chuck a CIA assets being 'handled' and 'protect' by Sarah and Casey, respectively. The possibilities are endless . . . so let's get this started!

Here is one to get this topic started:

Day 3, Casey (with a picture of President Reagan next to him): "What in the name of the Gipper have I done wrong to be assigned to guard this moron named Chuck? Him and the Bearded Idiot play with dolls for fun . . . (low, rumbling grunt while tightly gripping Reagan's picture)"

If anyone would ask me which would be my favorite episode...

The Pilot episode is the one that got me hooked to Chuck, this is my favorite.

This episode also has so many of my favorite scenes.
