EM-50: AS SEEN ON TV... AND IN THE MOVIES

Alan Sepinwall, who writes about TV for the Star-Ledger of New Jersey, pointed out a cross-universal nugget of trivia from the latest episode of 'Chuck': One of the items on sale at Weap-Con is the "EM-50 mobile interrogation unit," where in "Stripes," the EM-50 was a mobile assault vehicle disguised as an RV.

This is a great example of how something from the TV Universe can exist in other fictional universes born of Mankind's creative spark. Only the EM-50 in the "Cineverse" (a term coined by Craig Shaw Gardner) has a different function and look from the one in "Chuck vs. The Nacho Sampler". BCnU!
