This Week on Chuck

[revena]

Meh. Didn't much care for this episode. I'm getting reeeally tired of Chuck being such a baby about things. A certain level of optimism and idealism is integral to the character, but seeing Sarah kill a guy - a guy who was threatening to kill his sister not long before - shouldn't be such an earth-shattering moment for him. He knows what she does for a living, and people have already died because of the secrets in his head. Nothing new there.

I was also super-disappointed in Awesome. Repeatedly plotting to take on an armed and apparently unstable individual, even as people you trust are warning you off? Is not awesome.

I liked the quirky bits of humor. Casey's wrapping-paper injuries, the people everyone chose to call, Big Mike's cousin, even the toe-shooting incident had some funny bits to it (and also now Casey only has nine toes. It'll be interesting to see how many fics that strange factoid works its way into). But with all the SRS BUSINESS stuff that was just not interesting, it wasn't enough.

I think that it's important to note that Chuck missed the part where the guy was telling Sarah all about how the other Fulcrum agents would look for him, and nobody would be able to stop them once they knew about Chuck, and just heard the part where the guy was turning himself over to her to be arrested. To Chuck, it seemed like she shot a man who was surrendering, in cold blood.

I was also puzzled by the fact that Chuck was surprised that Sarah killed that dude. He knows what she does for a living!

I was also disappointed in Awesome for the same reasons.
