Chuck:
"Chuck Versus the First Date"
During it's abridged first season, Chuck got increasing- ly better and better and offered up some tremendously enjoyable episodes (Marshall Flinkman as a gymnast spy, Rachel Bilson as an adorable sandwich maker, Bryce's return, etc.). After a very long, forced hiatus, it was fantastic to see that Chuck's return episode maintained its high standard of last season.
The cast is still across-the-board lovable, the constructs of the show still work, it's still funny, and it's still fun.
- Chuck: "You know what, it's never safe in the car!"
- Chuck portrays the NSA as one heartless bitch of a governmental organization. Chuck, an American civilian, does nothing but help them, and then they just want to off him as soon as the new computer comes online. That's harsh.
- Chuck's reaction to walking in on Ellie and Awesome in the shower was hilarious.
- Nooo, I don't want Chuck to move out of Ellie's place! I think it's sweet that they live together.
- Morgan's hair is looking good.
- Big Mike: "[The assistant manager is] the captain of the ship when I'm not around, which we both know is often."
- Sarah works at the frozen yogurt place now? That's neat. I really don't think she should be licking her fingers while she's serving ice cream though. That's gotta be a health code violation.
- Well, it should certainly help to have Sarah around when Casey comes to kill Chuck.
- Morgan has "a black belt in dumplings." That's my kind of person!
- Wow, Casey has a decontamination shower built into his apartment! Cool!
- Chuck: "Is that a Crown Victoria?"
- Go Casey!
- Chuck: "'Somebody order drive through?' Huh? Did you think that up when you were racing over to save us? Hey, maybe I'll say this after I crash into the restaurant!"
- Chuck (when Jeff starts trying to play footsie with him): "That's not called for, or welcome!"
- Chuck: "Of course you don't see anyone! Who do you think we are, the FBI?"
- Go Chuck! Repeating Morgan's specs (for laser tag or whatever it was; I missed it)--nice!
- Nice catch (of Chuck), Casey! Phew.
- Casey: "Yeah, I know, I catch you when you fall."
- Wow, when he was captured, Chuck handled the situation so well! It was nice to see him not screaming like a girl and deftly dealing with a problem that wasn't a technology issue.
- The song they played at the end was cool, but I don't know what it is.
- So who faked the Sipher thing? Casey? He did take it from Chuck, but he also got awfully close to killing Chuck for someone who knew the new Intersect was going to blow up.
- Lester is not a great assistant manager...
- Chuck: "I want out of Burbank...to--"
Morgan: "Glendale."
Premiere Rating: 8.0/10
