Nov 23Chuck 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. CHUCK is a one-hour, action-comedy series that follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect") -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. 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.0

I think it would've been fine to leave Robau as an middle-eastern person...the decision to make him cuban, cheapens the integrity of the character

It probably would have been fine to portray Robau as a Middle Eastern character - but for one thing, there was never any definitive proof that he was going to be that way in the first place, only rumours, so criticising the film-makers for not following through with something that we really don't know was their intention in the first place is pointless.

Furthermore, I don't understand how Robau's being Cuban "cheapens the integrity" of the character. We're looking at a united Earth in the 23rd century, so if you're saying that his being Cuban somehow makes him ethically grey, that doesn't stand up in the world depicted in Star Trek.
