Computer Geek by Day. Government Operative by Night

He’s the Secret. She’s the Agent

The show is about a twenty-something computer geek named Chuck, who after getting kicked out of Stanford 5 years ago is currently working at a Buy-More, the shows version of a large electronics retailer. He works in the Nerd Herd, fixing computers for a living at $11 an hour, and his life is turned upside down when his old College room-mate, the same guy that got him expelled, sends him an email on his birthday.

Bryce Larkin, Chuck’s old room-mate works for the CIA but went rogue, breaking into the CIA and NSA’s top-secret computer which holds all the country’s secrets, downloading them to a PDA and blowing up the building, eventually he gets shot but not before he emails it off to Chuck. The computer was called the Intersect, the combined data base of the country’s biggest secrets, embedded into thousands of images. Images that flash by on Chucks computer screen when he opens the email, downloading the information into his brain.

John Casey, an agent for the NSA and Sarah Walker from the CIA are assigned to protect him and use the knowledge that is now in his head, turning a Computer Nerd into a secret agent.

One recurring line that I’ve noticed through out the show, is also possibly the only line never adhered to. With John and Sarah constantly telling Chuck to “Stay in the Car” while they are on a mission, but he always manages to leave and get into some trouble, or save their lives. But then again, it wouldn’t be a very interesting show if all the episodes revolved around the amateur spy sitting in the car while the experts go out and save the day.

Having to keep his real life and his new life apart is something that Chuck struggles with all through out the series. Especially when he develops feelings for Sarah, the CIA agent whose cover is his girlfriend. This is one part of the show that gets annoying, every other episode they are fighting, breaking up and getting back together and its gotten to the stage where they need to make up their minds and either stay together or get over it. But with that aside, I think everyone would enjoy the show.

So, if you can… I urge you to check it out, and if you want another opinion of the show check

out iGamers post about it!

Why am I showing you all this, or why did I even check this ad up further. Well remember what I said before, THIS AD WAS ON THE SCIFI CHANNEL, a channel devoted to geeky, nurdey, scientific, shows and not to be sexist or anything, but the majority of SciFi Fan’s are Guys.. sure there would be a few girls that would watch it. But still, it kind of just seems like the ad wouldn’t really be overly effective on this channel.

P.S. I really wanted to go for a Pushbike  ride this morning, woke up early and everything… But I haven’t riden it in a few months and the tyres were flat! And of course the pump is in the Garage which is locked and the only keys at work! Grr.

The Big Bang Theory, is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and originally premiered on the 24th September 2007 and it revolves around the lives of two guys in their twenties who work at the Californian Institute of Technology. Leonard, an experimental physicist and his room mate Sheldon a theoretical physicist and they live across the hall from Penny, an attractive blonde waitress with hollywood dreams.

Basically the show spends a lot of time mixing the two different worlds together. The world of a young, blonde woman and two geeky physicists. With the addition of Howard and Rajesh (Leonard and Sheldon’s equally as geeky friends)

Leonard played by Johnny Galecki is an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173 and received his Ph.D. at the age of 24 and shares an apartment with his friend / colleague Sheldon. After being a geek his whole life Leonard starts trying to explore more social situations when Penny moves in across the hall.

Sheldon is played by Jim Parsons and portrays a theoretical physicist with a Master’s degree and two Ph.D’s as well as an IQ of 187. He was a child prodigy starting college at the age of 11, straight out of the 5th grade. He extremely neurotic which is the main point of the characters humor.

Penny (the attractive blonde) is okayed by Kaley Cuoco. She’s start’s off as the new neighbor across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon and is their complete opposite. Working as a waitress at a local restaurant she wants to become an actress, although in episode 10 (The Loobenfeld Decay) when Penny is cast in a musical, she wouldn’t want to be aiming to become a singer…

If you dont mind a little spoiler, read below but if you don’t want to know the bare facts about seasons 1 and two the next two paragraph’s are not for you (I will make them as small as possible for you so you can skip them!)

In Season One physicists Leonard and Sheldon get their lives shaken up when an attractive young woman named Penny moves in to the apartment across from theirs. Leonard begins to develop a love for Penny, while she puts up with his friends: Sheldon Cooper, who has a combination of obsessive–compulsive disorder and neurosis; Howard Wolowitz, a sex-crazed maniac; and Rajesh, who will not speak to her, as he is too shy to talk to girls. Throughout the season: Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, and finds himself unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told—always attacking the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy; Rajesh learns that he can talk to girls when he’s drunk; and Penny and Leonard go out (in the final episode).

Season Two begins to deal with character development, including Sheldon becoming more and more obsessive, with a characteristic lack of understanding of irony and sarcasm reminiscent of Asperger syndrome. Leonard and Penny’s relationship takes a turn for the nasty when they break up, but quickly is resolved and progresses into a stronger friendship than before. In the season finale Penny hints at her true feelings for Leonard. Meanwhile Howard’s character remains similar to that of season one. Rajesh manages to briefly apologize to Penny without having consumed alcohol.

If you haven’t watched the show, I highly reccomend it, even if you only watch a couple of show’s the episodes are under half an hour each so you wont be loosing to much time if you dong like them. But now, I leave you with the episode’s opening credit music. Enjoy!

I know I know, Friday blogs are supposed to be iPhone App of the Week but to be honest… have I run by that schedule at all since starting 31 for 31. I think its because I prefer to do my posts from what interests me at the moment of writing, which in turn I believe would make for better blog posts than me forcing out a app review of Photo blog. So live with it.
