There wasn’t nearly as much Yvonne Strahovski as we normally like, but it was enough to eek out 50 new screen captures in the gallery for Episode 3.16 — Chuck Versus the Tooth.

Yvonne in love gives us some very caring looks that are fun to see.  I especially like the myriad of faces she displayed when visiting Chuck in the asylum.  Her look when Merlin showed up behind her was pretty epic too.

Before you go to look at all the new screen captures, be sure to download a soundtrack for your perusing from the Episode 16 Music page. There’s sure to be something that will inspire you.

Enjoy!

I realize that it’s old news at this point, but for those who haven’t heard — Chuck has been renewed for a fourth season!

I apologize for the late post, but I’ve been visiting in-laws in rural Arizona. And when I say rural, I mean literally the middle of nowhere.  With sand and mountains in every direction.  Needless to say, Sprint’s 3G network does not extend that far.

But I’m back, and I’ve caught up by watching Versus the Tooth.  A cute episode, but I’m a little bit worried that Sarah (and in turn Yvonne Strahovski) is becoming more of an accessory than a character.

The arc with their relationship is pretty cliche so far with the “I Love You” debacle that always occurs on such shows.  And how could they not get Christopher Lloyd to say “Great Scott!” or “1.21 Jigawatts?!”

I do really like the new arc with Ellie, though.  Adam Baldwin plays well off of her, so I look forward to much hilarity in the future.

The screen captures will be up tomorrow afternoon after I’ve decompressed from the trip.  The above is about as much reviewing as I’ll do for Versus the Tooth.  Back on schedule this week, though!

Also on a site-related note, we’ve been having some issues with the server over the past week.  New forum members might have had trouble registering.  All should be fixed now, and the backlog of applicants should all be approved.

Thanks for the patience!

Now that Chuck & Sarah learned what not to be when they grow up, they can move on with their spy lives.  Or can they?

Tonight we find that the Intersect may be causing some issues with Chuck’s noggin.  It’s sure to be a good time as always.

Unfortunately, I’m traveling this week and was unable to watch the episode!  I know, sad right?  Nonetheless, I’ve scheduled this post so that you guys can talk it out.

Belated screen captures and review will come eventually, but probably not until next week.  But I know you guys want to talk about it anyway, so go!

Update by Rob: While you’ll have to wait a bit longer than usual for the review and screen captures, I’ve gone ahead and put up the music from the episode. Enjoy!

There were no lions or bears, but there was a tiger.  And now there are 68 new screen captures in the gallery for Episode 3.15 — Chuck Versus the Role Models.

Yvonne Strahovski is really getting to have fun now that the script has finally put her tortured past behind her.  We didn’t get quite as many great shots of her this week, but she’s still as beautiful as ever.

So now that Chuck & Sarah are content to smooch their lives away, what exactly are we left with?

For starters, it looks like Casey’s nerves are going to be put to the test by Mr. Grimes, while Chuck and Sarah get a crash course on what it is to be both spies and lovers.

Hopefully you’re back from your Chuck March, because it’s time to get to the review of Episode 3.15 — Chuck Versus the Role Models.

“I’m sure you’ll make him sparkle.”

To start with, this episode sure had a lot of fun with the scene transitions.  In true Chuck fashion, the B plot was a practically a mirror of the A plot.  It’s always a good way to tie an episode together.

With Chuck coming from a broken home and Sarah coming from even worse, it will be interesting to see how they play with that in developing both characters into a mature relationship.  Ellie & Awesome may be the only positive role models either of them have.

“He’s nothing but a CIA sanctioned gigolo.”

I know Chuck is a light-hearted show for the most part, but Fred Willard is just too over the top for me.  I’m too used to seeing him being completely over the top.  I can’t believe that Chuck would ever see anything in him worth idolizing.

The only thing I remember Swoosie Kurtz from is Liar Liar.  She did great in that movie, and she did fine here.  Not my favorite Chuck guest stars, though.  I much preferred John Laroquette as a washed up spy.
