message: In the first season episode "Chuck vs. the Alma Mater" a clear shot of the Greek symbols for Chuck's fraternity can be seen. Could anyone identify this fraternity and add the information to the article? Is this relevant? 161.130.162.249 (talk) 23:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fraternity

message: I am a huge fan of Chuck and I am thrilled to see all the effort that has gone into this article thus far.  It is really well updated.  But it is written in a in-universe way, and not out of universe, as Wikipedia requires.  Since this is a fictional person, it should be treated this way.  We as editors to this article can familiarize ourselves with the policy at WP:MOSFICT and model this article after featured character articles like Sideshow Bob and Michael_Tritter.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 12:48, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with your appraisal. This article presents a great deal of information directly identifying this as from a television show (particularly refering to episode titles within the article itself and not just as references). Ambaryer (talk) 13:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

message: his new ability seem to affect a more primitive part of his brain allowing him to use many if not all martial arts. he also seemed to have more strength possibly being able to use 100% of human strength and brain and improved senses (Like a captain America type thing). He seemed to be only half aware when fighting perhaps he will develop a Berserker like ability and maybe even physic powers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.100.49.184 (talk) 02:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: During an interview with CF and JS, "The Greatest American Hero" popped up in a question by Alan Sepinwall that they were evasive with answering. I wouldn't be surprised if things aren't always going to work right. Think "Inspector Gadget." Ambaryer (talk) 02:15, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: New Ability

message: Just a question which applies to the other character pages as well, but do we REALLY need to list the one-off aliases Chuck, Sarah and Casey use? Obviously Charles Carmichael is necessary for Chuck since it's his recurring cover, as is "Sarah Walker" for Sarah. I'll also argue for continuing to list Jenny Burton, since that alias gets used whenever Sarah is talking about her family with Chuck. But do we really need to continue listing each new one-time cover identity in the Infoboxes? That could easily be done in the body of each character's article. Ambaryer (talk) 17:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I can agree with all of that.  I was going for completeness once I saw all of Sarah's childhood aliases listed, but obviously we should limit it based on notability.  I've taken the liberty of removing the non-notable/non-recurring aliases and nicknames from all three characters. --DurandalsFate (talk) 18:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Aliases in the Infoboxes

message: Did anyone get a real good look at Chuck's badge/credentials in Final Exam/American Hero? American Hero seems to be introducing even MORE confusion over just who Chuck is working for. The Intersect was described as a joint CIA/NSA venture in the pilot, however for much of the series it's seemed that the CIA was primarily directing events in the series, even though Beckman, who was identified as Casey's superior with the NSA, was directly overseeing the team in Season 2. However now Chuck is seen reporting directly to Beckman in Washington (at the office of the Director of National Intelligence, adding yet a THIRD organization into the mix!) but his operational orders to deploy to Rome are coming from the CIA.
So what gives? Who does Chuck REALLY work for? The CIA? NSA? Or is the series doing a retcon by creating a special branch of the Office of the DNI to account for the fact the NSA is in reality a signals intelligence group, and neither they NOR the CIA are legally authorized to operate on US soil? Ambaryer (talk) 17:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the reality of the NSA or CIA plays a part here, but I do believe that Operation Bartowski (and perhaps all of the Intersect-related projects, including Beckman's old hunt for Orion) is compartmentalized within ODNI (though I think they called it the "Directorate of National Intelligence" in the pilot and "D.N.I. HQ" in "American Hero").  The ODNI was where the original Intersect was located, and Beckman is NSA but works directly in ODNI.  The implication is that while both the CIA and NSA wanted to have supervisors over the operation at first, they soon came to share the same goals for the Intersect, and the CIA accepts having Beckman as the lead on the project, with Chuck being CIA (as he's said at least a couple of times now) and Sarah reporting to Beckman as if Beckman is her own superior.--DurandalsFate (talk) 22:13, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd still really like to get a good look at Chuck's ID badge. I rewatched American Hero on Hulu and I don't think it's ever displayed clear enough to get an idea whether it identifies him as CIA or NSA (any time Chuck's ID'ed himself as CIA had been in episodes PRIOR to Final Exam. He hasn't specified since then which department he was assigned to. Yet). Ambaryer (talk) 23:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just looked at the badge in the final part of "Final Exam."  If you look beneath Chuck's photo, there's an identifiable CIA logo.  Also, at the beginning of "American Hero," Beckman says the CIA wants him in Rome right away.--DurandalsFate (talk) 04:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Branch of Service

message: Just a quick side note here, does anyone think it's necessary to mention that Chuck appears in almost every episode wearing black Chuck Taylor's? It seems to kind of be a definig characteristic for him, being a nerd and all.  Nadanon (talk) 13:01, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
