Chuck vs. the Final Test

This is one of those episodes that keeps 3 or 4 tops spinning at a time.

• First is obviously the Spy Final Test. 
• Then there is the Buy More situation between Casey and Jeffster. 
• Chuck is putting a full court press for Sarah. 
• Ending the episode is the Red Test, Chuck killing a person.

The Spy Final test was a good mix of action and comedy and romance. Chuck tries to seduced Sarah on the stakeout and is Chuck-blocked by Shaw. Then Chuck beats up the two Russians in the steam room and follows Anatole wearing just a towel which he loses just after he had finished his mission. (He's standing between two balconies when that happens.) A little skin for the ladies to watch.

I enjoyed Big Mike tutoring Casey and getting his a wardrobe to sooth his anger. AND it all happened at Subway - awesome! Too many funny things to discuss but using Subway's new slogan was a good touch to finish out the scene.

On the day after the Spy Test, Chuck goes to the Orange-Orange to ask Sarah out to dinner and she beats him to it. Looks promising until Shaw jumps in again. He tells Sarah she must tell Chuck that there is another mission and he must kill the mark. Sarah first refuses but Shaw tells her that the only way Chuck will kill anyone is if Sarah tells him to do it. Sarah tells him and Chuck tries to, only to have Casey shoot him with a gun Chuck had stolen from Castle and given to Casey earlier in the day. This destroys Sarah because she thinks Chuck is a killer. At the end Sarah tells Shaw she doesn't love Chuck anymore.

Isn't that what I said was one of Shaw's objectives when he came - break up Chuck and Sarah. He is such a douche bag. I still hate him no matter what he does in the next two episodes. I just hope by the end of episode Sarah & Chuck are back together and Shaw is gone. We will have to see. As Susan says, "They are the stars and they will get back together sometime, somehow.

Don't forget to watch next Monday, March 29 at 7:00 CDT to see if Chuck and Sarah get back together.

Chuck vs. the Fake Name

Hi everyone.  Another exciting episode of Chuck has happened and another week of wondering where this story will.  I haven’t been able to watch the episode again.  Many things came out in the episode that explain some things and bring up new questions.  Even though I haven’t been able to watch the episode completely again, I think this is going to be a pivotal point of the show when we look back at it.

Here’s what I mean:

Chuck – after telling Sarah he loved her, Sarah reacts by closing down.  So, Chuck decided to move on to Hannah.  It seemed that Sarah was more interested in Shaw. Chuck had a short, intense affair with Hannah but he realized it wasn’t the right thing for him.  Ellie helped him with that situation.

Another thing that seemed to happen was that Chuck seemed to make a big change in his attitude.  Sarah is his love and he is going to get her.  He doesn’t like what he is changing into.  The change in his personality is bothering him so I think he will be more “Chuckish” than “Caseyish”.  Chuck realizes he can be a good spy without changing his personality. Now how does he do it?

Sarah – the pressure of her feelings toward Chuck are getting to her.  That’s why she makes a play for Shaw.  He is there and they are similar.  I see her going through the motions but Chuck is going to bring it to a climax soon.  Sarah doesn’t like what Chuck is turning into.  She will see the change back and be convinced Chuck’s for her.

Oh, do we care Sarah’s real name is Sam?

Casey – we saw a chink in Casey’s armor.  Some of the previews show that we find out more.  That will be interesting.

I goin’ to ride the crest and try not to get to worried about the individual happenings on each episode.
