    Chuck - Season Four

    I liked the ending quite a lot (and made up for nearly a season of sub-par episodes). There were structural problems. A lot of stuff was thrown in quickly and without setup. But the emotions were Chuck Season 1. In many ways, I wish this was the series finale. It was, if not plot perfect, pitch...

    Chuck - Season Four

    A decent episode with a shocker ending. I'm surprised that's not the season ending. I still love all the characters / actors. But the stories and silliness, that was so fresh that first season, is nit compelling to me. I don't know that I'll watch next season. But I hope for a stupendous season...

    Chuck - Season Four

    "??? You're feeding for me!" A pretty good episode (graded on Chuck standards), with some great humor from Volkoff's mom and Casey. The "Las Vecas" gag was ridiculous, even by Chuck standards. Awesome would not have made such a gaffe.

    Chuck - Season Four

    I liked this episode: it created some real tension. I'm actually disappointed that the alternate intersects were tested and dismissed in a single episode. The first season used the prospect that Chuck would be killed to otherwise put into "storage" by the CIA when his immediate usefulness was...

    Chuck - Season Four

    If that's one where Volkoff is captured, I agree it's about the best, most satisfying episode this season. In fact, it would have been a good season closer.

    Chuck - Season Four

    Here's what you missed ;) Volkoff was captured. Frost, Chuck's mom, was freed from her double-agent thing under Volkoff. She spent quality time with her granddaughter, and then left to parts unknown. Chuck proposed to Sarah, and she's been freaking out over the wedding plans. Morgan feels like...

    Chuck - Season Four

    Don't get me wrong: I don't want to see Chuck and Sarah break up for its own sake. But when the greatest drama is apartment hunting, something's missing :)

    Chuck - Season Four

    But it's boring. There's no tension. No risk. No danger. There is no story in happiness.

    Chuck - Season Four

    We've watched the last four or five episodes, getting caught up. I enjoyed Timothy Dalton as Volkoff, and it had some decent character momentum at times. And the episode with the love-jilted Gen Beckman made up for its silliness with some fun scenes and, of course, Beckman firing the RPG...

    Chuck - Season Four

    When he turned and killed The Gobbler...that was actually scary.

    Chuck - Season Four

    He's may have been their best guest star, (though Nicole Richie was surprisingly good in her part). I've believed him completely both when he was the goofy, semi-competent handler, and now as the ultimate, evil mastermind of Volkoff industries. He inhabits his role like Adam Baldwin does.

    Chuck - Season Four

    My wife enjoyed that link :) But especially after these past two episodes, I hope they wrap it up and conclude the series. I'd rather a strong ending than going two seasons past the prime and fizzling to a milquetoast end like, say, Alias. (and almost every show of this ilk :)

    That was a great episode!

    Chuck - Season Four

    Why did you link to an IKEA page? I must be an episode behind again. I wish you people would all get Tivos and watch on my schedule!!! :) So two episodes ago: quite strong. I really liked that Chuck was ready and able to propose, and he was thwarted by events and not self-sabotaging...

    Chuck - Season Four

    Another good episode. For me, the last two have been a much needed reprieve from a severe slump this season. I really liked Dalton's guest role. He has a lot of charisma and gravitas in the role of Alexey. He's one of the best guest stars Chuck has had. But what...no guesses on the Charades...

    Chuck - Season Four

    The only apparent weakness in this episode, the seemingly consequence-free escape of Chuck after his mental Buy More had the lights put out. But "Chuck", to its credit, has followed up on such things before.

    Chuck - Season Four

    Now that's why I watch Chuck!!! (I'll invite my arch-nemesis, dancing banana, to help with this one)

    Chuck - Season Four

    I gotta disagree this time. Both my wife and I thought this was one of the weakest episodes so far, and the casting of the specialist was badly chosen. Rob Riggle made no sense to me: he was goofy without being funny and had no presence. I didn't believe him as a character. It was more like some...

    Chuck - Season Four

    Really enjoyed Dalton playing against type. That was a lot of fun. [/url] hen we saw the Intersect 2.0 on the shelves in the Bartowski basement, I thought for sure it would be a plot point. But nope, it got blown up with everything else. Everything else, that is, except for the family's...

    Chuck - Season Four

    Liked the A-team Ep. Wasn't crazy about the Halloween Ep; it was too silly-in-a-bad-way. And the mom stuff didn't wholly work for me. It felt rushed. Liked the ending, though, with Sarah doing the snatch and Chuck having to give Sarah the bad news. Also like the evolving relationship between...

    Chuck - Season Four

    Solid episode. The "Right Stuff" intro of the "true" Buy More crew was great! But I hope Old Spice Guy is a recurring characvter; he's fun. Agree about Jeff being pumped full of darts to take him down. But the closing scene, with Sarah unpacking and talking with Chuck, takes me to the...

    Chuck - Season Four

    Jeff and Lester were on the run last season, thinking they had blown up the Buy More. I expect we'll catch up with them in some humorous way. Big Mike is probably on a deep-sea fishing vacation.

    Chuck - Season Four

    Liked it, didn't love it. Wasn't as big or emotional as the best episodes. A solid start to the season.

    Chuck - Season Four

    Looking forward to Chuck's return! Great finish to S3. Avoiding all spoilers. Now I'm sub'd and I'll see y'all after the premiere!
