Chuck: Revenge of the Giant Blonde Shemale

So there's this show called Chuck. Most people think it's about this guy named Chuck that has superpowers and such and had sexytimes with a lady spy from the CIA.

This couldn't be farther from the truth.

This show is about Jeff Barnes and Lester Patel. This show is about JEFFSTER.

    So this was the original season finale right, like before they picked up another 6?

    I was grinning like an idiot by the end of it and now im really worried that the new season finale wont work nearly as well as an end to the series if it doesn't get picked back up.

    Eh, seasons are best ended on a happy ending or a cliffhanger. If the show's in doubt about a next season, I don't want them to end on a cliffhanger (I'm too used to Fox) and I don't think 6 episodes is enough time to build up to a happy ending as good as last nights
    (which was the culmination of 3 seasons of Chuck trying to get Sarah).

    Guess we'll just have to see how they do it, but if they mess this up, I'll be pissed.

    I usually try to wait to watch Chuck with my wife, who works a lot of evenings, but as I had two episodes before last night's that I hadn't seen yet, I broke down and watched the last two and last night's episode all at once, and wow, I can't imagine how they can get this any better..

    I have been consistently impressed with the writers of this show pulling off each week as a great show and maintaining the classic goofy Chuck even though he is trained and more powerful now. They just work with it so perfectly!
    and now to FINALLY - I can't even explain how bad I felt for Chuck when he found Morgan's note in his wallet in season 2 - have Chuck and Sarah together, Casey back, and Morgan in on it all, it's just great! I can't wait to watch them with my wife and see her reaction to this. The next ep looks interesting as his dad is back and looks like Awesome and Elle are in trouble again. It had better be EPIC when Elle finds out Chuck is a spy. Perhaps that will be this season's finale, so Awesome can stop getting himself in trouble.

    So if we assume that one season equals one year in the show's timeline, it's been at least three years since Chuck's gotten laid, right? And now he's going to the smokingly hot Sarah Walker, who probably knows all sorts of tricks.

    Dude's gonna bust in like fifteen seconds.

    And that's doubly wasteful, since "I just saved your life" sex is off the chain. When it lasts longer than it would take to open a can of pringles, anyway.

    Nah it's assumed he got to bang his 3 episode girlfriend a few weeks ago. So he should be good for about 20 seconds.

    yeah he had sex with Hannah earlier this season.

    Also didn't he hook up with his ex briefly when she came back? I am totally blanking on her name but she was played by the smoking hot Jordana Brewster.

    If you were complaining about the small leaps of logic required to believe that, then I doubt you could ever have been a fan of Chuck at all...

    Why not? They were particularly egregious. The show has made great strides with it's plot movement problems, but the next step is making the spy world vaguely plausible even within its own boundaries. Characters simply turning evil without a plausible reason is bad writing, and the absurdities of the last few episodes are out of character even for a light show.

    If I wasn't able to get used to Chuck treating spying like it is fundamentally some kind of weird club where we all hang out together with interspersed moments where it is serious business, I wouldn't have gotten past three or so episodes of it.

    Whilst i agree with morgan becoming a spy might be a stretch too far, I think Shaw turning evil was really well done (and his comments to Chuck about "none of this being his fault" and not wanting to kill him showed he wasn't really evil anyway) and Casey's reinstatement I thought was also quite well handled. I had a few issues mid-series with Brandon Routh's acting, but for me this finale of sorts made up for it.

    If you want a REAL plot hole in Chuck, it's Beckman's threats that they will just abandon him if he fails the test and let him go back to his normal life (remember, the intersect is still in his head and at the start of season 2 Casey was actually ordered to kill him). Now THAT doesn't make any sense.

    Yah, I don't see Shaw's actions as being unbelievable.
    Dude pretty much said his main goal for hunting the ring was because they killed his wife, right? Instead he finds out the CIA did it and he wants to make them pay so he helps the ring.

    I disagree.
    - Morgan becoming a spy: He isn't becoming a spy. They are not going to issue him a gun and let him rappel into a Ring hideout next episode. They are going to treat him like an asset, like Chuck was at the beginning. Since he already knows, this is pretty much necessary. Otherwise they'd need to remove him entirely.

    - Shaw being evil: Dunno, he had an unhealthy and unprofessional obsession about his wife's death from the beginning and I always thought that bad things would come from that.

    - Beckman: I kind of agree here, but the show has been relying on her giving Team Bartowski an unrealistic amount of leeway since season 1. I don't see how this was particularly offensive in this episode.

    - Casey: Why not reinstate him? He's capable and clearly less of a risk factor than Shaw, Sarah or Chuck. In my opinion, the fact that he was just discharged already showed that they would have liked to keep him if at all possible.

    Overall plotholes were as usual for me in this episode, but with spades of awesome to cover them up.
    I appreciated the tank.

    Yeah, I kinda cringed at that. She didn't seem entirely comfortable with the reading of that line.

    That said, I can't really agree with the rest of your critique - the plot holes didn't strike me as any bigger than normal.

    I'm actually curious to see if along with his extra spy skills Chuck grows a pair regarding how he is sometimes treated by the governement (maybe he tried to leverage his intersect status in season 1? I didn't see it). After the 50th time of getting yelled at by someone and told he wasn't a 'real spy' I feel like the ground was ripe for an outburst along the lines of: 'Do you know who I am? I'm the intersect, motherfucker! You need me, not the other way around! Now get me some goddam waffles!'

    I probably only mention the waffles because I'm huingry, but I stand by the rest. The governement has done a lot for Chiuck, but he's also taken a ton of crap from them. At some point I'll like to see him be a total dick about it, though admittedly it would be tough to keep that in-character.

    Well, there was that point, y'know, in the pilot, when he said something like "You need me. I don't need you."

    I think that was in the pilot, because that's when they put Casey in as the new Buy-More employee and install Sarah across the street.

    Really though, the biggest plot hole in the show is how Sarah's cover can afford such a fancy car and apartment with the pathetic salary she'd have to make working somewhere like the Orange Orange.
