Chuck Says a Teary Farewell to Comic-Con Fans

After five years of love, Zachary Levi bid fans a teary farewell at San Diego Comic-Con. 'Chuck' debuted at Comic-Con in 2007 and has always been one of our favorite panels.

This year it was our camp-out panel. Michael thought I was kidding when I said I was setting the alarm for 4 am so we could wait (and wait and wait) in the Ballroom 20 Line. This was going to be the last 'Chuck' panel and there was no way I was missing it!

Fans were out in force, but we got in. As we entered Ballroom 20 we were handed Comic-Con exclusive 'Chuck' t-shirts complete with Nerd Herd tie, pocket protector, and nun chucks in the back pocket!  Wow - flashbacks of Comic-Cons past where studios gifted us with swag right in the rooms instead of making us schlep to the hotel next door for some trinket!

The panel got off to a rousing start with a video sequence featuring a Jeffster music video of Eye of the Tiger with Ryan McPartlin (Captain Awesome) putting Joshua Gomez (Morgan Grimes) through 'Rocky' style training to be the Intersect. 

Highlights to look for in the final season:

-- Mark Hamill (Star Wars) plays a villain in the season premiere
-- Col Casey gets a love interest in arch enemy Gertrude Verbansky
-- General Beckman will be back
-- The end of Jeffster? There will be a great war between Jeff and Lester

-- Someone will not survive the season...!

The cast had some amusing thoughts about how the show should end. Vik Sahay wants Lester to die a glorious death like William DaFoe in Platoon  in slow-mo; Scott Krinsky thinks there needs to be a Baby Jeffster (which made Vik nervous!); Ryan McPartlin wants a feature trilogy like Lord of the Rings; and Mark Christopher Lawrence (Big Mike) wants it to end as it always has (and as I do): funny.

You can watch the entire Chuck panel including Zachary Levi holding back the tears in his final salute to the fans AND the opening "We're Doomed" video at NBC's site:  Chuck Panel at Comic-Con.

You can score a Comic-Con exclusive Chuck t-shirt with the nun chucks in the back pocket from our ebay store, click here to get yours now!

And, enjoy the final season beginning Friday, October 21 at 8 pm. We will!

Thanks, Tina, for guest blogging here today on the 'Chuck' panel!  

For those of you that are wondering why I am posting Tina's blog here in a 'Comic Book Collectors Blog'.... That's because the TV show, besides making all kinds of references to comic books & Comic-Con in the series... Also had two comic book series of its own, as seen here and here!  That qualifies it for inclusion in this Blog of mine!

More on the TV Show at the Wikipedia entry:  Chuck!

Lastly, here are more photos taken at the LAST Chuck Panel, and not used in this blog.
