Chuck returns with a sweet, heartwarming and fun episode about a man and his ring or if you want to a serious case of proposal interuptus. Everything is planed, the Champaign, the musicians, the balloons and Chuck is about to pop the question when Sarah tells him about her parents failed proposal in a similar restaurant with balloons and accidental fires. Needless to say, Chuck aborts the mission with some sweet situational comedy as result.

The episode continues in similar ways even if it includes a French Chateau, a microchip hidden in a bottle of wine, and the usual fun and games. The team is back on track.

Some moments were really hilarious like when Casey has to play Chuck’s manservant. Lester is also having marriage problems of the arranged kind and she is on her way to the Buy More. You can guess how that goes.

Another highpoint is when Sarah ambushes Morgan, I never seen her so hot. I am taking control of this mission now, Morgan you are working for me now. First Morgan and then Casey get involved in the proposal. Morgan is surprised when Casey tells him he knows what is going on. Cause I am a spy not a moron.

Casey is the Man! I am so impressed and his advice to Chuck is so Right.

But as often in Chuck it is close, so close but Sarah has her mission now…

Wow and Bravo! This show really makes me happy. I am happy you guys and gals are back!

Chuck 4.08 – Chuck vs the Fear of Death [TV Review]

It is hard not to get a bit excited about this week’s Chuck. His mommy trashed his Intersect and now he has to find a way to get it working again. The agency calls in a gang of boffins that try to ‘lift the rock that blocks him from using the Intersect’.  The Ninjas was a nice touch.

I didn’t enjoy that part as much as I enjoyed Jefster getting creepy with the latest Greta (Summer Glau). OMG she is hot! She played a CIA assassin assigned to the Buy More and Jefster is outclassed on so many levels it is hard to know where to begin. Morgan is caught in the middle. Entertaining, Summer Glau played a different kind of creepy, of the more deadly kind. Operation Get-A-Greta involves the whole civilian staff and ends in an interrupted cage-match between Greta and Jefster where Case saves the day.

Case is grounded protecting Chuck while Sarah chases Mommy all over the world. “I wake up with my trigger finger twitching” he tells. It is like most of the stuff he does highly entertaining.

Sarah and Chuck got some downtime before he goes after the latest cure, “The Fear of Death”. He and the latest boffin go off to Switzerland and danger.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger.

Chuck 4.06 – Chuck vs the Aisle of Terror? [Short Review]

Sarah and Chuck’s mother meet in a gun faceoff! Awesome!

This was a very emotional rollercoaster episode with Chuck’s mom getting in touch again, Jeffster doing the Halloween decorations and Freddy Kreuger (Robert Englund) guest as professor in fear.

The cool tech was a nifty little holographic pad. The next iPad?

Chuck has some mommy issues he eventually starts to deal with only to have her snatched away from a meet with Ellie. And now he has Sarah issues, major issues coming up in that relation next week.

There were also some good lines this episode.

My mom shot me!

Chuck How did you get here? My mom dropped me off.

Next Week? My name is Bond, James Bond. I say no more. No it’s not Moore, watch the video and see for yourself.

Chuck 4.03 Chuck vs the Cubic Z

It is time for this week’s Chuck and Sarah treat. A prison transport has unexpected engine trouble and are diverted to a secure location – the Buy More. Meanwhile Morgan the Manager prepares for game of the year. He is beyond Robert Di Nero, he is Russell Crow serious! And nobody listen to him.

Big Mike returns from soul searching and asks Morgan’s permission to marry Morgan’s mom. He even gives Morgan the ring while he thinks it over.

Chuck prepares for a mission to Monaco, the mission of a lifetime while Sarah freaks out about kids. She kicks the shit out of Casey while interrogating him about his daughter. Then the mission is canned because of the incoming prisoners.

The prisoners are old friends; well maybe old enemies are more correct. Hugo Panzer and Heather Chandler are thrilled to see Chuck and Sarah again. Chuck flashes on Heather and his mother so Sarah and he try a bad cop – silent cop routine on Heather but she keeps unbalancing Sarah.

Meanwhile Hugo Panzer breaks out, goes on a rampage and decks Gretchen and Casey. He is out to kill Heater. Chuck, Sarah and Heather escapes up the ventilation shafts where a merry go round chase commence. It ends with a firefight on the roof.

Heather turns around and tells Chuck about Frost, his mother’s code name.

Morgan faces a riot from angry customers but is saved by Big Mike who forgives him for losing the engagement ring in the chaos.

The ring bounces down the ventilation shaft, down to the Castle where Chuck and Sarah finally have a heart to heart talk about Sarah’s fears for kids and they both agree to take it slow when the ring lands and Chuck picks it up, holds it out, and that is such a cliffhanging ring moment to end with.

It was a wonderful fun episode with just the right mixture of banter, action, and a little drama.

Next week is travel time for Chuck, Sarah, Ellie and Awesome when they go visit a banana republic and its thankful leader and his new to us wife. There was something in the fine print about a coup too.

Chuck 4.02 – Chuck vs the Suitcase [TV Review]

Chuck is one of the best shows on TV at the moment. I know there is lots of new shiny shows with complicated characters with angst up to their tonsils but this is some uncomplicated fun.

This week Chuck and Sarah go to fashion week in Milan and I have been promised a catfight between two of the most beautiful babes on TV, so shush. I like the way they always makes the girls reveal themselves in this story. I guess Awesome is the token balance guy.

The long legged model that kills a man right between the eyes is an arms dealer and they are sent there to intercept the smart bullets she stole in France.

“Women have a lot of baggage; you should be happy Walker only have a suitcase” is Casey’s chipper advice to Chuck about Sarah never unpacking.

Sarah’s unpacking is a theme of this episode, Chuck mentions it as they are about to be blown up. It is maybe not the best of last words so he ends up in the doghouse and with a naked model. But their plan to smuggle out the dress brings Chuck a big smile.

Back home Jeffster is back! Morgan discovers a critical flaw with the Buy More cover. Casey and Morgan bring Jeffster in, hilarious. Ops, Morgan let it slip to Casey he is talking to Alex…

And after that save Morgan become the new Store Manager! Wow!

This is how Sarah looks after Chuck says “Marriage, Baby, and children. Maybe we are next.” Sleep on that!

This was another good episode and we are still laying the foundation for the season so I hope for some more action next week when some old friends returns and it looks like my wish is their command if I watch the video.

Looking at the pictures this post is quite naughty, I need to better myself and get a wider selection.
