The First Three Episodes

I am two days out from episode 3 and have had time to watch all three episodes several times.  Every time I watch the first two episodes, I still get upset.  Why did the writers have to destroy the relationship between Chuck and Sarah?  Especially the way they did.  I understand why Chuck didn’t go and I understand why Sarah is so upset but this relationship is splintered.

They were never able to talk about it before, how are they going to resolve it now if Sarah won’t talk to Chuck.  Now that slap in epi one was real, look at the screen cap of the other side of Chuck’s face, and both she and Casey have said some hateful things about Chuck and his spy abilities.  So now you have Chuck in the lowest he can go with Morgan being his only help (which is no help in my mind). 

It’s a good thing that episode 3 came about as quickly as it did.  There is some hope now.  Chuck showed he had some skills and could use the Intersect to solve some problems in combat.

Carina saved Chuck on several fronts: got him back into the spy game, trusted him to get the weapon to the CIA, implanted the idea that Sarah really loved Chuck into Chuck’s and Sarah’s minds, and, most importantly, gave Sarah a copy of what Chuck said when he thought he was going to die in the room filling with gas.

I have gone on a little long but I have one more thing I would like to state, the good and bad from the first three episodes:

Good: 

1. Corina
2. Chuck told Sarah how he really feela about her
   
3. Chuck earned some respect from Casey
   
4. Big Mike is Manager of Buy More
   
5. Carina tells both Sarah and Chuck that they love each other

Bad:

1. Sarah’s hurt
2. Morgan is as obnoxious as ever
3. Chuck/Sarah relationship thrown back to square one
   
4. Chuck won’t fight for Sara
   
5. Chuck's not trying to learn
   
6. Too many secrets again
7. CIA is not giving Chuck time to learn his new skills
8. Chuck can’t fight with out the Intersect 

On top of all that, there doesn’t seem to be any hope for Chuck and Sarah.

That’s how I feel.  I saw one preview where Chuck hits Brandon Routh (his trainer) when he says something bad about Charah.  That gives me hope. 

Viva Chuck, Viva Sarah, Viva Casey!!!

Season Three Premier Night

Three cheers that Chuck, Sarah, and Casey are back! It was great to see the three of them again. In the second half Carina of the show reappeared. Those things made the two episodes great. But from almost the beginning I was agitated and aggravated with the storyline. The only thing that saved the night for me was the flash drive Carina gave to Sarah at the end that had a recording of what Chuck said to Sarah (that she didn’t hear) while he was trapped in the secret room.

I hate to say this but Carina came out being the good girl in this premier. She has figured out Sarah loves Chuck and told Chuck this. She also made sure Sarah heard what Chuck had been trying to tell her through the whole episode. Carina also made Morgan very happy.

The Chuck/Sarah relationship has gone back to zero, which is a big disappointment to me. I felt they were heading for a more intimate relationship. Now it looks like Sarah hates him and Chuck isn’t a spy. They have to work together and there is a lot of animosity between them.  The first half of the show was a good example of this,

Sarah really slapped Chuck hard at the nightclub. I saw a screen cap of the post slap and it wasn’t a fake. You can see Chuck’s face doing some unnatural things on the other side of the slap. I hope they didn’t have to film that too often.

At least Chuck’s feelings are out on the table and Sarah knows the reason he didn’t run off with her. Now let’s see how long it takes for Chuck to win Sarah back.
