CHUCK. CHUCK, WHY ARE YOU BACK ONLY TO GO AWAY AGAIN. IT IS OF THE GREATEST UNFAIRNESS. THE NBC COMMERCIAL SAYS "NEW EPISODES COMING SOON!", BUT IT LIES
...and that's enough of the caps for now, so, onward to actual talky stuff.
I love me a good Casablanca reference. Boy howdy, I sure do. So, basically, my radar started pinging right as soon as I heard 'Ilsa', and then it just never stopped. Actually showing the movie on the screen in the BuyMore? They weren't even trying to be subtle. And the line at the end. Oh, the line at the end. Which brings me to my second point. Good god, man, are they being that gay on purpose? Chuck getting past Casey's emotional barriers! Chuck suddenly becoming very, very interested in Casey's love life! Casey letting this happen! Also, any scene where Casey's drunk, shirtless, and alone with Chuck gets immediate high marks of approval; a scene like that which includes the line "I need pants!" is almost excessively awesome, even though I don't believe he really did need pants. And the aforementioned last line. I practically spazzed out at "I'll always be here", or whatever it was, but I almost fell out of my chair when they pulled the I Think This Is The Beginning Of A Beautiful Friendship. Oh, Chuck/Casey. You held such initial promise, and then you faded into the background...and then you came back with a vengeance. This almost makes up for the lack of Bryce.
Onto the second episode: I was surprised to discover that I was actually concerned about Chuck getting sent underground; this isn't a show that shakes up the status quo, or at least not so far, so of course I knew nothing was going to happen, but it just seemed so...nervous, or something. I don't know. Maybe it was because of the whole cute-guy-in-distress thing. That's been one of my kinks since I was eight, yo. (I should tell you about the h/c Sonic the Hedgehog fics I wrote in my head when I was just a young'un sometime. Or maybe I shouldn't.)
There are probably more things I could say, but it's late and I just spent an hour and a half wrangling technology (suffice it to say: I need a new laptop, and I'm damn well going to get one), so I shall leave it with: god, I love this show sometimes; it's got great characters, it's strangely pretty for a show that doesn't feature much in the way of shiny visuals, it's got a great soundtrack, and even though the romance is shoehorned in, it's funny, it's so, so funny and it makes me so happy to watch it when it's doing things right. And I am really going to miss it, dammit. And now, to bed.
