On my personal blog over at Lykaon’s Lair, I have a habit of reviewing the tv shows I watch every week. But since it makes sense, I’m going to start writing my Chuck reviews here on Strahotski.com so that all of you Yvonne Strahovski fans can more easily find them.

Last night we were graced with “Episode 1.05 - Chuck Versus the Sizzling Shrimp. ”

As with any ensemble cast, every episode has a spotlight character and this week was mainly about Chuck and his relationship with his sister and troll of a friend.

Unfortunately, that means not as much Yvonne as last week but that doesn’t mean the episode wasn’t worth watching.

It turns out that there’s a Chinese spy working at Chuck and Morgan’s favorite Chinese restaurant and that gets Casey and Sarah in a tizzy.

We come to find out that although she is an International spy, she’s not in America on official business. Instead, she’s here to rescue her brother. Hijinks ensue.

Overall, this was a pretty good episode. There were some good gunfights and some funny moments.

I’ve said this in my previous reviews and I’ll say it again — Chuck’s sister simply isn’t the best actress on the planet. After taking screenshots of the first 4 episodes I at least came to appreciate that she’s pretty, though.

All in all, the ‘Sizzling Shrimp’ was a welcome foray into the season even if it was Strahovski light. Screen captures should be up shortly.
