I haven’t yet fully recovered from my trip, but the time has come to write another review.
This week sees the reintroduction of Stephen Bartowski which I’m excited about. His arc in Season 2 is still the best of the series in my opinion. I hope the wrist computer makes a return. Whatever happened to that thing?
The clock is counting down and its time get to the review of Episode 3.17 – Chuck Versus the Living Dead.
“The heart is a very complicated muscle.”
Right off the bat this episode is better than last week’s. The addition of Scott Bakula really picked up the episode and brought back the good old days.
I can’t believe Ellie whacked the heck out of John Casey’s jaw. Poor guy. Too bad the trailers totally spoiled all that business with the gun. I didn’t believe for a second that she was going to shoot anyone.
Also, I wish the writers wouldn’t feel the need to put doubt into the Chuck/Sarah relationship every single episode. It gets old, and robs us from truly enjoying the relationship that has formed. They should be past distrust at this point; if not forever at least for a week.
“Is that a bulletproof tie?”
Morgan in Castle was pretty hilarious. It’s interesting that despite the fact that he’s an official member of Team Bartowski, he still doesn’t have unfettered access.
It’s too bad that Sarah’s interrogation wasn’t expounded upon. It would have been fun to see her pull out guns and all manner of weaponry to intimidate him. I feel cheated!
Morgan is really going to have to man up if he wants Chuck to trust him with information. How many times is Chuck going to fall for that?
“Shaw’s dead. Care to join him?”
Those are neat glasses that Chuck & Sarah had in the penthouse. I wish I could get a pair of those. It’s especially great when you want to convince yourself that you’re seeing a ghost!
It’s too bad the writers can’t see that Shaw is not a particularly compelling villain. I’m not sure putting the intersect in Shaw’s head is going to make him anymore exciting. The good news is that we’ll probably get to see Chuck shoot him again. Yay for that!
Also, does anyone else think that Ellie’s handler looks like Matthew Perry? Especially from the side. He’s like a serious version of Matthew Perry.
