hils | Chuck

Wow, I was really surprised that they decided to release Sarah's identity just like that. Loved the ending that took it all back *g*

I think the thing that amused me the most about this was the blatant parody of Grosse Pointe Blank. Hee!

No, actually, Casey convincing that guy that Chuck was Mad Dog amused me even more

Loved this ep, and there was even a bitch fight in the showers to 'Smack My Bitch Up' for the boys

Revealing Sarah's identity was a mistake. I practically was chewing on my fist, her one and only power in this series is her mystery. She has very little character to work with this season - and I think they realised this would give her character history aka depth. They'd already covered parts of her life in the CIA. They fell back on the nuclear weapon, who she really is.

They were smart enough to wrap it up in layers upon layers, tantalising us with doubts,and obfuscations. It would have been so good if the end scene had just been Graham turning up, and saying a name - then cut away. That would have been much better, left so many questions unanswered in a good way.

They kept the secrets from Chuck though, which I can't work out, all that information is in the intersect, if he wanted he could find it.

He didn't reveal his update to his handlers though, I still wonder what happens when they find out. I also wonder what's on that update (though it's possible it's nothing more than a data update.

Casey did rock in this episode, his reaction to the blackmailed guy (I didn't bother with his name), when he said Chuck was the secret agent who saved him was hilarious, Chuck visibly shrunk. His recovery though, rolling with it, was class. That's why Casey is the hard nuts secret agent.

This is was the first time we really saw Chuck in a completely bad light, the way he treated Sarah was shitty, at first it could have been innocent, but then even after he knew just how much Sarah hated it all, he kept pushing.

That drove me a bit mad. He recovered it though when he said he didn't want to know her past, effectively say he knew her present. That was a nice touch, which was one of the things that helped save this episode from being a disaster, and potentially the disaster of the whole season.

The shower fight scene, didn't do anything for me - however Casey dealing with the bad guys, and then in a case of prime comic timing, Chuck getting the credit, in a non-erotic way did.
