Jake 2.0, a short-lived series on SciFi, ran along the same premise of computer technology invading a nerd and making him valuable to the “intelligence” community. Jake 2.0 ran on the Canadian reality while Chuck has California based Corporate Broadcasting’s version of reality as its base. Neither has any idea what it is the people in the CIA and the NSA do.
Both have them as active killers on US soil. The CIA agent stabs half a dozen people on the dance floor and no one notices, except the NSA agent who a few moments ago told his minions that it would be alright to kill the CIA agent, in the club, in LA, if she got in their way. On what planet do these people reside?
As for TV science, similar to cartoon physics, the nano-robots in Jake 2.0’s body were somewhat more believable than the mental download Chuck receives staring into a laptop’s screen for several hours without blinking or going to the bathroom. One saving grace is his sidekick. I haven’t seen a good sidekick on network television for a while.
We will give it a chance, it has been put on the subscribed list on TiVo but its space there is not guaranteed for the season.
