Chuck vs the Honeymooners

Posted a lot later

The first thing i'm going to say in today's post is that the episode you just watched is better known as a showkiller. Yeah. And unless the writers can pull off a Law & Order (take a dead storyline and make it work... for a hundred more episodes and 50 spinoffs), this show has reached its apex, and is going to have a humpty-dumpty fall. Don't get me wrong- Chuck is my favorite show- it was this show that made me begin to actually follow TV. But i think we have learned from experience that TV shows don't last long once they finish their main cliff hangers.

The Ep opens with a shady looking man (yes, shady. the only long haired white haired genst i've ever seen were on America's Most Wanted and in Lord of the Rings)in a suit pulling a vicious looking knife from a sheath. He pushes a room service tray to a compartment where apparently, Chuck and Sarah have been having a very exciting time. And we see that for the next few days, they don't leave the room. And their troubles begin when they DO leave the room.; Chuck just HAS to flash on  a  Basque terrorist, and Sarah's ninja instincts puts her on the trail of the same Basque. '

What results are several scenes that just scream Mr & Mrs Smith- Sarah's drunk Texan belle act and Chuck's    climb over traincars (Polar Express, anyone?); then both of them somehow managing to cover up the fact they were running a covert op, and messing each other up... Ok, that metaphor didn't come out as smooth as i wanted but u get the point: Chuck and Sarah are now the post-house fight Mr & Ms. Smith.

What we have now is the show repeat itself: Casey and Morgan tied to the chair, Chuck and Sarah Kimbo-slicing their way through a room of ETA guerrilas; Chuck and Sarah crashing through a restaurant window on a moped, Morgan's babbling blowing the cover of some ETA (great name, btw. Very Jamesh Bond) posing as Interpol. Casey and Morgan- chair scene is definitely from Chuck vs the Undercover Lover; i guess casey must have been trying to remember "how to fight with an incompetent set of numbnuts strapped to you back":. Chuck & Sarah fighting while handcuffed in perfect sync is almost a mirror image of Sarah and Bryce in Chuck vs the Nemesis; The moped, well; we all know it was from Chuck vs the First Date, Casey's crown vic's grand entrance to that restaurant.

It seems that the show is going full circle; the only thing i wish for is that the ones that are "in the know" right now stay the only ones "in the know"
