Chuck related Ep 4.22 information

I went on a Warner Brothers tour yesterday.  It wasn't Chuck centric but there were fellow Chuck fans on the tour so several things were highlighted.  The cast were shooting on Stage 10 (Castle and other sets) with the others being:  Stage 4 (Apartment set/nerd herd cage) and Stage 17 (the Buy More) and they were going to film at the village backlot.  The house in question was being prepped for an explosion later that afternoon or evening.  There was a fence around around the house but it was removed (you can see what looks like a darker shade astroturf close to the street).  They also removed items that were in the house and installed the special effects windows (so you don't have glass shrapnel going everywhere).

That's it for the 4.22 information but here is where I talk about last years Chuck only tour.  This little block of houses (the village is much bigger but have other types of buildings and not houses) was used in Chuck, Mentalist, Gilmore girls among others.  I still plan to go more in-depth about that Chuck tour and I used this tour to refresh my memories about that.  The following pictures were taken when it was bright and sunny and not cloudy and rainy like it was today :).

The house above is located right next to this one below and you will recognize the carport where Chuck confronted his Stanford professor in Chuck vs the Alma Mater.

In that Chuck scene you can see a blue house across the street with a little shed off to the left of it (see pic below) - that blue house was also used in Chuck vs the Ex.  In that scene Chuck bounces the ping pong of the window and before he does that you can see that carport in the background.  Right next to the shed you see a yellow house that is right across from the target house (1st pic above) - that yellow house was used in Chuck vs the Tic Tac (Chuck went to defend Casey's ex-fiance).

That's it for that little slice of Chuck points of interest.  Here are some oddball pictures from todays tour.  This time we went into the prop department (we didn't last Nov - we went to Costumes and according to the last tour and this tour that is incredibly rare and just not done - just like a tour of Stage 10 (4 and 17 are used by the tour)) and saw a lot of the props.  Our tour set today was brand new Stage 25 (built in 2008) and it currently houses the jail, court set, judges chambers and the corridors of the municipal building for Harry's Law.

This particular chandelier was bouncing around until they found out it was Tiffany and they have two of them (estimated worth $1 million for each one).  It is no longer rented out but they can be used for Warner productions but I think they discourage that.

This chandelier (they have two) has been bouncing around Warner Brothers for a while and they have no idea how they came about them.  They found out it was a set of six that was made for Tsar Nicholas (the last Tsar of Russia) and was a ........ (I don't remember the name of the maker but it is on the level of Tiffany).  Two were destroyed, two are in Museums and two are in the prop department of Warner Brothers.  It is too expensive and too complex to be rented out anymore and it's estimated worth is $2 million a piece.
