The Intersect

You should all read this interview from the Los Angeles Daily News (with Out in Hollywood’s Greg Hernandez) and take from it what you will, but the bit that stood out to me (and filled my fangirl heart with love for the Herd and its lead Nerd) was the following potentially spoilery chunk of text:

While he keeps his cover job at a computer store, Chuck is now a spy and the actor said we should expect to see him getting a little better at a role he was never trained for.

“He evolves a little bit,” [Zachary Levi] said. “I think he starts to find a little more confidence and a little more footing in this new world of being a spy. But he can’t get there too quick, otherwise there’s no way to go.” And the job at the store (he’s part of the Nerd Herd at his local Buy More store - a parody of Best Buy’s Geek Squad) is as important to the character as using his newfound knowledge to help the government thwart assassins and international terrorists.

“It really is the perfect cover job,” Zach said. “It really allows for so much of the comedy on the show, the other odd employees and the boss. Last season they were all sort of episode-to-episode and it’s nice when you get to have these guys who you spend so much time with, to be shown a little love. They’re in the opening credits now.

“It’s a really beautiful thing.”

I’m irrationally excited about the new opening credits, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
