“You know, if I had a blog, this would be a pretty big day for me.”
Chuck S1E8
- Snark and notes only. Too busy to do recaps that take me hours.
- Oooooh. Marshall Flinkman (Kevin Weissman) as a bad agent. He’s like Suit and Glasses! Except not.
- Oh no! Sushi with Ellie and Awesome.
- This Lou girl is probably an agent trying to get Chuck’s luuuuuurve. Morgan in sing-song: “Mind cheater! Saw you!”
- Wow. Captain Awesome at dinner. Awkward!
- Uh-oh. Ellie’s in trouble.
- “Hey! You spending the night? That little pep talk at the restaurant must have worked!”
- Haha. “I’m a little worried about our cover. I think it’s time for us to make love.”
- Yay, it’s Casey! He should be in the show more.
- Harry Tiberias Tang’s wife is a little out of his league. But equally crazy!
- “Wow, you love your Nana and you have the mouth of a trucker. You are a very complicated woman, Lou.”
- Hey, Chuck *should* refrigerate that sandwich, because if the Chuck Bartowski makes him sick, it’ll be an Up-Chuck. You’re welcome, you’re welcome. No extra charge for that one, peeps.
- I love the phrase “Man up.”
- Oh noes! Ellie’s being interviewed by the evil Flinkman, and he’s not stammering or nervous. He is, however, creepy. Uh-oh, Ellie’s bugged.
- Pentothol. It’s always the Pentothol. Uh-oh. A poison pen!
- “Our vast height difference intrigues me.” Hey, I agree with Lou about the girlfriend-cheating. Aww. Poor Sarah.
- “I am just being professional.” “Yeah. The world’s oldest profession.”
- Ellie is being overly truthful and hurting the captain’s feelings. Then again, I wouldn’t let Frank out of the house in those abundantly gay bike shorts either.
- “You need a haircut. It’s starting to make funny animal shapes.” Do NOT cut that hair.
- “Those pajamas make you look like Dennis the Menace’s father.” Where is Vera when you need to club someone over the head with her?
- “She doesn’t know anything about nuclear code. She doesn’t even want us to have a microwave!”
- I love the sequence in the hospital after they’ve all been poisoned and they all start telling the truth about what’s going to happen next. BTW, why didn’t they capture Flinkman? Maybe he has more antidote at the house, like in his medicine cabinet.
- “You know, if I had a blog, this would be a really big day for me. Do my laundry, check. Save my sister’s life, check. Save my own life… final entry.”
- I LOVE THIS NEXT PART! Chuck: “It’s not ideal, but I’ve lived a pretty good life, you know? I mean, how many guys can say they’ve landed a helicopter and saved the lives of innocent people?” Casey: “Courageous and honorable members of the United States military.” Ooh-rah, baby.
- “Not bad, Bartowski. Do anything like that again, and I’ll kill ya.” I heart Casey. And Adam Baldwin.
- Casey: “I’ve got it!” Sarah: “I’ve got it!” Chuck: “Well, who’s better at it?” Sarah: “I am.” Casey: “She is. D*mn truth serum.” LOL. Doesn’t skip a beat.
- Chuck: “Casey, your jaw was chiseled by Michelangelo himself.” It is a nice jaw.
- Flinkman: “Who is it?” Chuck: “The NSA, the CIA, and… me… who is kinda harder to explain.”
- Flinkman is remarkably agile.
- Harry Tang shipped to Hawaii! And the salute to Casey. That’s fantastic. First time I ever liked him.
- Boo! No, Chuck! You can’t fake break up with Sarah!
- Aww. And she really does dig him. And she’s sad to see him with the evil spy girl who will turn out to be an evil spy.
- Next week, we’ll find out Bryce isn’t dead, and the girl is an evil spy.

hahahaha! if I had a blog…final entry!
November 13th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Ha! I thought it was bogus when Sarah said she didn’t have any feelings for Chuck, she’s always making puppy dog eyes whenever he walks away. Fake break up, sad sad sad, poor Sarah. And yeah, Lou is totally an evil spy, and that’s definitely going to be Bryce in the cryo chamber thingy seen in previews. OT, any thoughts on the further adventures of Sarkensei? He is E-V-I-L!!1!one!

I didn’t rewind so I may have gotten it wrong, but it looked like Sarah was kneeling down working on the lock for the right-hand door and Casey simply turned the knob and opened the left-hand door. ROFL!!!! Old joke but VERY well timed.

dangit, what is all this? Wheres the heroes snark?
November 13th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
Captain Awesome is actually starting to grow on me.
Chuck (under truth serum influence) looking at Casey “Your jaw line was sculpted by Michelangelo himself.”
Yeah – Bryce has to come back. Bryce & Lou vs. Chuck & Sarah???

Ah, interesting idea there DamnCat. One thing though, in last week’s thread it was postulated that if Bryce got Chuck kicked out for his own (Chuck’s) good, than he might have good reasons for some of the other “bad” things he had done. Or not. Also, I must concur with luminos, last night’s Heroes episode gave me goosebumps of excitement. By the way (”…the three final can’t miss episodes…”) How can there only be three episodes left this season? I thought last night was chapter 8, maybe they mean three more episodes until the hiatus or something?

T. Paine, it could be done for the season. If it looks like they’re going into hiatus with no writers on the horizon, they’ll play the alternate ending and make it a season finale. If the writers’ strike is over, it will be the original ending and a normal winter hiatus.

I think that this is the best new show of the season with “Reaper” a close second. It’s so gratifying to finally see Adam Baldwin in a hit series (with his conservatism seemingly intact and coming out through his character) although I agree that he needs more airtime.
If only the rest of the Firefly cast were only so lucky although I guess Jewel Staite is now on Stargate: Atlantis which is a decent hit for a cable show. Nathan Fillion still needs a good vehicle though although I did enjoy him in “Drive”. I think I was one of the 6 or 7 that actually watched that show. I didn’t think it was bad at all, it just didn’t seem to really get a chance to build an audience.

G Fresh,
Nathan Fillion is a recurring guest star on Desperate Housewives. He plays Dana Delaney’s characther’s husband.

sam,
That explains why I haven’t seen him anywhere.
Desperate Housewives=Must Avoid TV
At least in my book. Blegh.

I agree Lou is evil spy. But I think Sarah is behind Lou, somehow. She purposely fought the truth serum to tell Chuck she isn’t interested - she knew he was interested in Lou and knew what would happen. Therefore, she must be “in” on Lou. BUT WHY?
Lou is a “good” spy and Sarah has arranged to have her take over Chuck without revealing her nature so Chuck can think he has a normal love life? Does this somehow make Chuck safer/happier/better able to work for CIA?
But Lou will be a double agent, and will betray Sarah, Chuck, the CIA, and America.
But what will happen when Chuck has a Lou flash and realizes she is not what she appears to be?
One thing is for sure: Lou must be a spy, because they already have too many civies around Chuck making his mission more difficult. Adding another civie adds nothing to the story arc, but could make the plots more confusing and difficult. Therefore, Lou is spy.
This is very intriguing.

Gullyborg, you not only got it wrong but you got it wrong the day AFTER we learned the truth. :D :D :D
November 21st, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Ha ha, Kiser FTW! Hopefully Gullyborg is one of those high-tech Tivo folks and hasn’t watched last night’s episode yet. And no Heroes snark=heartache. Oh well, guess I’ll go back to work!
