(Michael Ausiello)

Chris Fedak says the six additional episodes that NBC recently tacked on to Chuck’s season 3 total created an interesting storytelling challenge. “[We were faced with] the problem of either expanding the story we’re telling or taking the story and telling it more slowly. And what we essentially decided to do was tell more story. So we’re looking at the six episodes that have been added on as Chuck season 3.2.” (Michael Ausiello)

Community

Gillian Jacobs talking about the upcoming holiday episode: “There’s a huge brawl!” In the Yvette Nicole Brown-centric episode, “Shirley is organizing a party for everybody and making a lot of assumptions that the rest of us are all Christian, inviting us to her Christmas party.

And in a couple of episodes, we drop a bombshell for our characters and one of the big dormant secrets, one of the bombs of the table, as it were, goes off.
