I am so excited that Chuck is coming back on January 10th, 2010 with a two hour special on NBC.  And in the video after the jump Zachary Levi talks about what’s coming up in Season 3.  Since I’m not able to see the video I had Willow Raine transcribe some of it for me.

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you, because I only have a job because you care enough about us to make your voices heard. Now they have a premiere date, they’re back on the air ready to bring you more and more awesomeness…so thank you, from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of our collective hearts.”

Seriously, that sounds so cute. I wish I could see it.So everyone that lives in the States can check it out for the rest of us, we can stare at the hot lead picture I posted. (Update: It looks like they opened up for Canadians too…YAY! Or maybe not. I guess you will just have to see. It’s like the lottery I swear.)

I love Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes of shows. There is always a crisis and somehow it gets resolved in that hour. And in that time you might just laugh and cry many times. I just hate that in Canada we have to wait for another month and a half before we get to see the Thanksgiving episodes from the States. But we still appreciate it.

Episode eleven of the season is called, Treasure of Serena Madre, and it goes like this: It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side if there wasn’t a serving or two of some major drama for the holiday. Blair (Leighton Meester) suspects her mom (guest star Margaret Colin) has been keeping a big secret from her, but it turns out to be something else entirely. Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) is supposed to spend Thanksgiving with her parents, but has a fight with her mom (guest star Gina Torres) and shows up on Dan’s (Penn Badgley) doorstep. Rufus (Matthew Settle) learns that Lily (Kelly Rutherford) has been lying to him about her mother, Cece (guest star Caroline Lagerfelt). Chuck (Ed Westwick) tells Nate (Chace Crawford) that he has some potentially damaging information about one of their friends. Jenny (Taylor Momsen) learns that Eric (Connor Paolo) was behind her very public embarrassment at Cotillion and can’t pass up a chance to get even. Serena (Blake Lively) is put in a very awkward position when her mother invites Trip (guest star Aaron Tveit) and Maureen (guest star Holley Fain) to join them for Thanksgiving dinner..

I have to say that Gossip Girl has really brought the guest stars this year,  Hilary Duff, Jimmy Fallon, Lady Gaga and one of my personal favorites, Kevin Zegers. I was going to write about Kevin before…he starred in the Air Bud movies and he grew up in Canada…right near where I lived in Ontario. We all know he has to be cool then!

The tenth episode of the season is called, The Last Days of Disco Suck, and it goes like this…Hoping to impress the elitist theater kids at NYU, Blair (Leighton Meester) sets her sights on landing a private concert with the hottest musical performer of the year, Lady Gaga. Dan (Penn Badgley) and Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff) sign up to write and star in a school play, based on an idea by Blair and directed by Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). With Blair out of the picture, Serena (Blake Lively) turns to Nate (Chace Crawford) to help her get through a difficult situation. As a favor to Chuck (Ed Westwick), Jenny (Taylor Momsen) agrees to hang out with Damien (guest star Kevin Zegers), the son of an ambassador who is staying at Chuck’s hotel, but the experience proves to be a lot more intriguing than she expected.

I can’t believe we are already on Episode 8 of Gossip Girl this season. Time keeps on going so fast! I have to admit that I am finally catching up and with some shows not showing new shows until November I can at least try to catch up. Okay, maybe in a perfect world I could.

The eight episode is called, The Grandfather: Part II, and it goes like this: Olivia as a guest on the Jimmy Fallon’s talk show says something she regrets and tries to hide it from Dan. With elections coming up, Nate suspects his grandfather will do everything he has to get Trip on the congress. After another fight with Serena, Blair gets a new friend and takes her to an election night party at Chuck’s hotel, just to make Serena jealous

Jimmy Fallon on Gossip Girl? I can’t wait!

Gossip Girl is on a hot streak. And I really need to catch up on the episodes I’ve missed!

The seventh episode is called, How To Succeed In Bassness. And it goes like this: In need of publicity for his new hotel, Chuck (Ed Westwick) decides to move up his club’s opening and enlists Serena’s (Blake Lively) help to get the word out to her celebrity clients. Feeling left out of the planning, Blair (Leighton Meester) attempts to win Chuck’s approval by secretly helping him with a problem concerning opening night. Dan (Penn Badgley) is unnerved when he finally watches one of Olivia’s (guest star Hilary Duff) infamous sex scenes with co-star and real-life boyfriend at the time, Patrick Robinson (guest star Simon Miller). Jenny (Taylor Momsen) is forced to choose between her relationship with Eric (Connor Paolo) and her new role as Queen Bee. Rufus (Matthew Settle) gets Lily (Kelly Rutherford) into the Halloween spirit.

It looks like Gossip Girl is getting steamy again. I really love the whole Blair and Chuck thing this year. It’s about time they are together.

Episode 6 is Enough About Eve and it goes like this: As Vanessa hopes to win her mother’s approval, she and Blair vie for the honor of delivering the NYU freshman toast. Dan invites Olivia to meet the parents.

That’s too bad that Serena and Dan aren’t together. I loved them together.

Having to wait until March for Chuck was killing me. Literally, okay not really literally but I was having a hard time waiting. March seemed so far away. After all it would be three months into 2010 and that seems so far away.

But now…News is coming that NBC is doing horrible in the ratings race. Probably because they never expected Chuck fans to be so loyal and not spend their time watching NBC when it wasn’t necessary.  It looks like (cross your fingers here) that Chuck might be coming back sooner than March…rumors are saying like maybe at the end of October.

AND it gets better. They would extend the 13 episodes they had planned so there would be more. NOW that makes me very happy. So let’s hope it all follows through and we can see Chuck sooner instead of later.

I swear I miss one episode and everything seems to happen in it. (Ask me about the Vampire Diaries that I missed that had a reference to Twilight in it. I almost died!)

In the fifth episode of the season, Rufus Getting Married, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) decide to move up their wedding to the next day, but will someone or something come between them before they become man and wife? Blair (Leighton Meester) grows suspect of Bree (guest star JoAnna Garcia) and shares her concerns with Nate (Chace Crawford). Chuck (Ed Westwick) discovers a secret that Carter (guest star Sebastian Stan) has been keeping from Serena (Blake Lively). Dan (Penn Badgley) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) are pulled into one of Georgina’s (Michelle Trachtenberg) schemes.

Now, this is Gossip Girl!

It looks like Gossip Girl is gaining speed again and with the newest episode we see Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff guest starring. I know there has been mixed feelings on Hilary being on the show. I don’t think she’ll do too bad.

The fourth episode of the season is called Dan De Fleurette and goes like this: It’s the first day of school at Constance Billard which means it’s also time for Jenny (Taylor Momsen) to take her rightful place as the new Queen Bee. Unfortunately for Jenny, Blair (Leighton Meester) is more than happy to intervene when news reaches her that she may be needed back at Constance. Lily (Kelly Rutherford) returns home to Rufus (Matthew Settle) and her family to find that things are definitely not as she left them. A famous movie actress, Olivia Burke (guest star Hilary Duff), enrolls at NYU – and is assigned to be Vanessa’s (Jessica Szohr) roommate – hoping for a somewhat normal college experience. Tyra Banks guest stars as Ursula, an actress co-starring in Olivia’s movie and someone who Serena (Blake Lively) befriends.

I have been looking for spoilers for this episode for days. It’s all I have been doing, so I was finally to find something that I could post for next week’s episode, The Lost Boy.

The synopsis is this: It’s an Upper East Side face-off when Blair (Leighton Meester) and Chuck (Ed Westwick) both set their sights on a particular item up for bid at Sotheby’s and the personal stakes are high. Serena (Blake Lively) suspects that Carter (guest star Sebastian Stan) may be up to his old habits, Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) takes an interest in Dan (Penn Badgley), and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) begins to suspect that something isn’t quite right with Scott (guest star Chris Riggi).

If I can find stills I will update.
