His bodyguard

Jan 26, 2010 09:15

OMG, loved Chuck last night so much. Chuck the show, Chuck the guy, Chuck the spy with training wheels. But as far as I'm concerned, the best part of all was the stuff at the Buy More with Morgan hiring Casey to be his bodyguard/respect commander. That was so brilliant and a lovely little shoutout to Adam Baldwin's first film, My Bodyguard. When I realized where it was going I shrieked with glee. That was where I fell in love with him, and have stayed in love with him since then (1980, people!). I would not mind if that part of the story stuck around a bit.

Unlike most people who watch Chuck that I know of, I seem to be in a minority in that I enjoy the Buy More. I miss Anna, but I'm glad it's still part of the show. Lester and Jeff are simply too awesomely loathsome and horrible to not be funny, and as I said when the show first started, the sight of Adam Baldwin in the green shirt will never not be funny to me. I loved last week's Fight Club stuff so very much. Whoever does their fight makeup did an outstanding job.

I liked that Chuck has matured enough to come up with a decent alternate story for why he's on the plane, and how well he handled the situation overall. And while I'm not keen on Shaw, I do like that he's forcing Sarah and Casey to realize they've hindered his development that way. No, he may never be able to do the hard things like killing someone, but that's not really the kind of spy he wants to be, anyway. I know that everyone who watches Smallville hates Kristin whassname, but I didn't think she was that awful, so I kind of wondered about that. She had great chemistry with Zach Levi. How come everyone hates her so much? Fanon thing or canon?

Also, Morgan waking up in the animal grab box just... oh, I really do need to vid this show, and soon.
