Chuck 3.16

“Chuck versus The Tooth”

Now that I’m back fixing a molar from my dentist, here are some thoughts on last night’s episode…

Considering that the Chuck-I-Am-Your-Father, Shaw and Will-They-Won’t-They storylines have all played out, the writers had to come up with another storyline for ending the season with a bang. They came up with a doozy! With the Intersect wreaking havoc with Chuck’s brain, it set up a scenario where Chuck’s father can return to show to save his son.

It was interesting to see Christopher Lloyd play a dramatic role in this episode. He is such a funny guy (even being in one of my favorite comedic scenes on television), but he’s believable as a CIA shrink worried for Chuck’s sanity. He even has Sarah and Casey’s trust!

The subplot was a bit too much to take, having enjoyed the Anna Wu character during Season’s 1 and 2. There was closure for Anna and Morgan’s relationship, even if budget cuts axed her character. However, Anna finally got to take her turn in the Buy More wind tunnel, something only a select few (Carina, Sarah, Hannah and Morgan!) have been allowed to enter.

After two very humorous episodes, this episode took a much darker turn. Ellie is unknowingly assisting The Ring in finding her and Chuck’s dad. And for all of you out there who are glad Chuck killed Shaw, don’t go celebrating yet!

My Favorite Line: “Monday nights can be bit of a wasteland.”

My Coolest Moment: Sarah imploring Doctor Dreyfus to save Chuck and then realizing that Casey made the same request.

Charah Scene: When Sarah finally says “I love you” to Chuck. It only took three years!

Update: This could be a very good week indeed!
