snowystingraySo I didn't post about Chuck last week because, to be honest, I've been a bit annoyed with the whole "get the Intersect out of my brain" storyline as of late, mostly just because it's phrased in terms of, "...so I can go back to my old life and learn to loooove again!" Um. Hi. Memo to Chuck: YOUR OLD LIFE SUCKED ASS. PRE-INTERSECT YOU WERE GOING TO BE STUCK WORKING AT BUYMORE UNTIL DEATH. ALSO I'M PRETTY SURE DOMESTICALLY HOOKING UP WITH SARAH POST-INTERSECT IS PROBABLY NOT REALLY A VIABLE OPTION. PSST -- SHE IS STILL A FRIGGEN SPY! I mean, not that I don't think it's an appropriate growth angle for the character to have Chuck learning to appreciate the things he used to take for granted even when he was suffering in miserable mediocrity -- friends, family, being young and carefree -- but I think it needs to be appropriately balanced by the fact that getting a glimpse of this totally different lifestyle has motivated him to move forward with himself and acknowledge all of this unrealized potential, not simply slink back to "the way things were." (I mean, hey, didn't we try to clear this up back in episode one of the season?: Chuck: "Your new Intersect is almost done, and when it is I'm free, I'm cool, I'm clear, I'm outta here, I have a future and a life that I wanna live." Casey: "Future's a dangerous thing, Chuck, doesn't always work out like you want it to.")
But, well, this is all griping to clear the way for the fact that I did actually enjoy this week's quite a lot.
You might think that I only liked it because Tricia Helfer gets half naked, but, well... okay, yeah, you'd probably be right. I confess. She's the main reason I stuck with BSG for as long as I did, and, even in just a guest spot here, she was just as fantastically badass and burn-out-your-TV-screen HOT as always. Girl!crushing aside, other things I loved:
- Well, okay, this is actually sort of a continuation of my crushing, but CASEY/FORREST. It's not much of a secret that I will ship Casey/anybody, and OF COURSE he was going to be attracted to her so I'm glad they decided to run with it -- BUT OMG THAT GUNPORN SCENE WAS FAR BEYOND EVEN MY WILDEST IMAGININGS. HOT, HILARIOUS, AND OH-SO-PERFECT FOR THE BOTH OF THEM.
- And yet despite Forrest's appearance as Sarah's usurper -- Casey/Sarah! "The best damn parnter I ever had"!!! This is the follow-up I have been waiting for since Sarah's "I'm you're partner and I'm not letting you go in alone" in 2.09. IT'S CANON. THEY LOVE (ERR, OR AT LEAST RESPECT) EACH OTHER! Almost as good was Casey being supportive of Chuck being supportive of Sarah. Teeeeeam!! *squishes*
- Honestly, this episode was just really, really funny. Jeff and Lester had some great lines. "Ooh, astronomy snap!" "Ellie! Ellie! Elizabeth! Eleanor! Elton!" And then of course the nitrous oxide fight scene. "I was gonna cut you! Heee!" And then the hugely romantic Chuck/Sarah reunion: "Is it really you, or am I super stoned?" BWEEE! I watch this show for silly good times, and they are back.
- Next week! Scott Bakula! !!!!
- Oh, and I almost forgot: alias Harry Lime? SHOW. YOU ARE SUCH A NERD. (Which is why I love you.)
- ETA: How could I forget Casey heroically poised to save Chuck's life in the teaser? Mrrrrow.
