NBC's Chuck is about to get an added dash of sexy to go along with the unbelievable level of sexy that already exists on the show. I'm talking about Yvonne Strahovski, not Adam Baldwin.Battlestar Galactica favorite Tricia Helfer will guest star in this season's 18th episode as a spy who is assigned to Chuck. No, she isn't replacing Strahovski, this is only a one-episode thing (though I bet the door will be left open for her to come back). I'm guessing there is going to be some tension between both female agents when it comes to helping Chuck.
Helfer's not the only woman who will guest star on the show. Sports Illustrated cover model Brooklyn Decker (aka the future Mrs. Andy Roddick) will show up in an episode this season too.
It would be cool if Helfer could play the same character she plays on Burn Notice (hey, both are NBC Universal shows, could be a fun crossover), but that character is secretive and evil (as far as we know) so this will probably be a completely different character. Good to see that Helfer has the whole spy thing down though.

This is great news. Tricia Helfer is terrific, and Chuck is quickly becoming a great TV show.

"ChucK' is for me the most peplexing of shows, or at least my enjoyment of it is. Ol' Chuck himself (and for that matter his entire Nerd Herd crew) is completely TSTL (too stupid to live) and he (and they) serve only to annoy me, except that orbiting around him is one of the most fascinating and enjoyable casts on television. Yvonne Strahovski is off the scale good-looking and can even act a little (though I still think the sexiest women on television these days is a tie between Dr. Cuddy of "House" and Angela of "Bones"). Adam Baldwin may be my favorite character actor on the tube today. I've completely got a crush on Chuck's sweet sister, and I'm even frequently amused by her perfectly-cast boyfriend. It's that bunch of folks that keep dragging me back to watch each episode. Even the fact that the writing is often marginal and the plots borderline stupid won't keep me away from a terrific ensemble piece like this.
