Strahovski and Seduction
Another episode down and now we’ve hit the ground running. John Laroquette makes a hilarious guest appearance as our wayward hero has to learn the art of seduction.
Though this episode was pretty good, I hate to admit that it wasn’t as good as the season opener. It had its moments, but the Buy More segments once again felt tacked on while the Sarah/Chuck will they/won’t they drama is wearing thin.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the chemistry between Zach Levi and Yvonne Strahovski. It’s absolutely adorable. The scene where Laroquette makes Chuck practice on Sarah was priceless.
I do feel, however, that they could be a little bit more subtle. Although there will always be that subtext of them not being able to actually date, it doesn’t always have to be at the forefront.
Of course, with the big shocker at the end maybe it will fall by the wayside for the time being. That should make for good times; but we’ve been there before and what exactly is going to make this time different?
Those plot points aside, however, Yvonne is in true beautiful form always able to pull off the perfect amount of angst and yearning whenever Chuck is nearby. Her bickering with Laroquette on the validity of Chuck as a charmer was pretty funny stuff.
And, as they did last week, the writers have included that moment that was pretty much just made for hot screen capturing. Her crawling into the Buy More in Chuck’s fantasy was definitely a calculated ploy for fans just like us.
Overall, Seduction was a pretty funny episode but the multiple plot lines didn’t integrate as well as they should have. Not as good as the opener, but an enjoyable advancement in the plot we all love so much.
Screen captures should be up this afternoon. Until then, hang out on our forums or talk about this episode by commenting on this post.
