The Intersect

What can we expect from the back half of Chuck’s second season? Ausiello knows. From Ask Ausiello:

Question: Nice to see you choose Chuck as your favorite comedy of 2008. Any scoops on upcoming episodes? — Kelsey
Ausiello: Exec producer Josh Schwartz is hesitant to use the words “game changing” to describe this season’s final batch of episodes — even though it’s wholly appropriate. “Everyone uses that term,” he harrumphs. “Let’s call it show changing. Or Chuck changing…Let’s just say someone is going to start figuring out the truth in Chuck’s world.” Schwartz adds that he’s cramming “three seasons worth of stories into the next 10 episodes,” in part because there’s no guarantee the show will see a third season. (Note to NBC: The forecast calls for a s–tstorm in the event Chuck is axed.) “We’re leaving nothing on the table,” he says. “We’re taking nothing for granted. We’re going for it.” To wit, did you see who they got to play Chuck’s dad?!

Question: Anything new on Chuck? — Laura
Ausiello: This just in: Jordana Brewster’s returning as Chuck’s ex Jill in the season finale!

Oh, good, more Jill. Because the last three episodes’ worth of her simpering didn’t make me want to slit my own throat quite enough. Still, I’m excited about the change that’s headed our way.
