Nov 23 | Chuck returns to NBC with a special two-hour show on Sunday, Jan 10, 2010, before returning to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8pm on the following night. It's return to prime time television can be attributed to a successful fan renewnal campaign last year.

This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights. STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.

According to the Press-Telegram, the Star Trek movie cast and crew left Long Beach last week after several days of filming at City Hall.(story)
It's good to know that Abrams is engaged in a lot of location shooting for this; location-shooting can really 'open-up' a film, make it bigger (like The Voyage Home). It's partially for this reason that TVH remains the only Trek movie that doesn't look like television to me. Rather, it looks 'grand' and cinematic.
The scene where Kirk and Spock are walking along, with the Golden Gate framed so beautifully behind them, is a striking bit of cinematography. Also Uhura and Chekov on the shore around sunset, with the aircraft-carrier behind them, was lovely as well. Plus, the sequence where Pavel was trying to escape from the Marines was impressive; very 'busy' and elaborate.
Further, the cetacean institute, restaurant and hospital scenes were rare instances of crowded places looking genuine and naturalistic in a Star Trek film; the usual "you're a on a large set with a bunch of extras" vibe was thankfully absent. Nimoy definately knows where to put the camera and how to get the right performances out of people; that's also got to count as part of the reason for Abrams admiration and respect for the man.
I'm really getting psyched for this film. :)

Dont agree. It's static, colorless and claustrophobic.
The FX and score, however, yes...they were 'grand'. But that wasn't what I was talking about.

I know you guys need copy and there's not much else to report, but this "baby step du jour" coverage of the movie is going to leave no aspect of this flick unspoiled. Maybe we should just stick to interviews with Takei about a Captain Sulu series after all?
