A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a Monday-Friday blog that focuses on a variety of geeky topics, including: comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general. However, any topic is really fair game. Don't forget to share your thoughts by adding comments!
Chuck season 3 starts this Sunday, January 10, on NBC! It kicks off with a two-hour premiere from 9pm-11pm EST, then will return to it’s usual Monday 8pm time slot. I can’t wait! It’s been a long road getting here, but we’re finally in store for some Chuck-tacular adventure! Below is an extended season 3 [...]
I did this same post last year for Veterans Day, but I thought it was worthy of repeating. In honor of Veterans Day, I thought I would post some of my favorite covers from the comic book ‘Star Spangled War Stories’. These all feature ‘The War That Time Forgot’ as the lead story. American soldiers [...]
NBC’s Chuck has not been picked up for a third season yet. WTF?!?! Seriously?!?! Also, there are rumors that it might not get a third season based upon lackluster ratings. Yikes! A universe without Chuck scarcely bears thinking about. Josh Schwartz, executive producer and co-creator of Chuck, explained that the second-season finale (airing tonight) will change the show in [...]
The Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter animated DVD is scheduled for release this coming Tuesday, March 24!

To watch the trailer for either, click here and then select Tales of the Black Freighter. [...]
Back in July 2008 I praised the trade paperback, Runners: Bad Goods. Since then, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the next chapter. Unfortunately, due to the publisher restructuring, the second volume was never released. The good news is the creator/writer/artist, Sean Wang, is now giving it away for free to everyone! Runners will now be available [...]

My thanks to my buddy ‘lessthan12parsecs’ for posting this list to THE UNIQUE GEEK. These literary villains hail from a variety of places, but there are definitely some folks with geek-cred [...]
Do you find yourself yearning for more “Chuck” throughout the week? Do you find yourself thinking, Monday at 8pm just can’t get here fast enough? Do you find yourself daydreaming while in Best Buy, imagining it’s the Buy More? Well, I’m here to help those in-between days. As I’ve mentioned before you can watch full [...]
I watched the “Chuck” season two premiere online this week – Chuck Versus The First Date. It was AWESOME! (pun intended) It was well worth the wait we’ve endured since last season. The story was funny, the action was good, and the romantic tension really worked. Zachary Levi’s comedic talent continues to shine as the lovable, yet [...]
If you know me, then you know I love the TV show “Chuck”. I didn’t watch much TV last season, but I sure as hell didn’t miss an episode of “Chuck”. Funny, action-oriented, clever, geeky, and a beautiful Australian blond. That’s a recipe for awesome. The good news is that the season premiere of “Chuck” [...]
