Notes on the new tv season I

We didn’t watch Heroes yet, but we did watch
Chuck

Enjoyable.  Funny.  Directed by McG.  Features Jane from Firefly.  Main guy works at “Buy More” for the Nerd Herd.  That’s just funny.

His sister’s boyfriend is called Captain Awesome.

His brain substitutes for a pattern-matching computer created by the gvt.  An interesting intersection of the notion of the brain as computer and the idea of emergent processes.  Also, since the information is transmitted entirely through image and works through pattern and recall, his thought processes might very well be called electrate.
