Chuck 3.06


“Chuck versus the Nacho Sampler”

Now that I’m back from Weap-Con in Dubai, here are some thoughts on last night’s episode…

Every comic book or sci-fi hero has to meet his evil twin, and in this episode Chuck meets Manoosh! Manoosh is like Chuck Bartowski without the morals, and Chuck was really pained when he had to bring Manoosh down. Casey was impressed, but Sarah is worried: the man she fell in love with (because Chuck wasn’t like Casey or the other spies) is changing. I like the role reversal this season as Sarah is becoming softer while Chuck is getting harder.

It’s about time Ellie and the Buy Morians start to realize that something is up with Chuck. Even newcomer Hannah sees it. The producers want another supporting member of the cast to find out about Chuck’s secret spy life – it will be interesting to find out who it will be!

Not a feel-good episode like last week’s “Chuck versus First Class”, but an equally important one, as we saw how different Chuck’s life would have been if Sarah did not have feelings for him. And my biggest laugh of the episode came from someone I did not expect: Sarah (and that mid-riff shirt)!

My Favorite Line: “You aim carefully now, Bartowski -- don’t you make me a eunuch; otherwise I’ll teach you the meaning of ‘eye-for-an-eye!’”

My Coolest Moment: The look on Casey’s face as the trio entered Weap-Con. I wonder if I have that same face at Comic-Con or Angouleme.

This was a very funny show but the best so far is Chuck Verses First Class. That one had so many different great one liners. Hard to pick a favorite.

The episode did end on a sour note, but there are two episodes of "Chuck" with a downbeat ending: "Chuck vs. The Crown Vic" where Casey got an order to terminate Chuck when the CIA appeared to have built a new intersect, and "Chuck vs. Santa Claus" when Sarah murdered a Fulcrum agent in cold blood to protect Chuck's secret.

Let's hope next week's episode, "Chuck vs. The Mask" has a happier ending!
