Sick of Snow? Join the Club!

It's hard to believe there are only two episodes of Friday Night Lights left for this season. Or thirteen for those who had the patience to wait. ;)

Chuck's reaction to Sarah killing the Fulcrom agent threw me a bit

It also threw me that Chuck purposely questioned her to see if she'd lie, testing her. I didn't see the purpose of this but to induce angst and, I dunno, Chuck pulling that bugged me.

You know, I really am enjoying this season a whole lot more than last, but it has definitely lost some of its momentum for me since the single-purpose Jill arc.

It seemed like Chuck was regressing to me. He's more involved in the missions than he ever has been. He's no longer just a guy to be protected, he's part of the team. And to have him shocked by Sarah's actions seemed off. Like you said, it just seemed like they were trying to create angst and I would have preferred they show Chuck deal with the realization that Sarah would go that far to ensure his safety and what that says about their relationship.

I was never a fan of the Jill arc because, again, Chuck seem to regress.

Casey has such a crush on Ellie. He's in lurve.

If not for Awesome being so awesome, I would soooooo ship them. :)

nolivingman December 21 2008, 21:05:51 UTC

I have that problem myself. I can get behind a storyline where Casey pines after her though and accepts with Great Stoicism that Awesome is the right man for her. And then kills some people who deserve it.

I think it's more that from what Chuck saw, Sarah killed an unarmed surrendering suspect in cold blood. She may have killed in front of him before, but if she did, it was in the middle of battle. I don't think he heard the agent threaten him either.

And I would love to ship Casey and Elly, but Devon is, well, awesome, so I can't.

Agreed.

But I also think it was stupid for the agent to go all Dr. Evil on Sarah with the "No matter where I go, no matter what you do, I'm coming for Chuck, mwahahahahaha." I think it would have been more powerful and less obvious if she killed him and we overheard her telling Casey something about how he knew Chuck was the intersect and it was too dangerous to keep him alive...instead of the Dr. Evil speech. But what do I know?

mirandaflynn December 22 2008, 02:05:48 UTC

Yeah, that was a very dumb speech. What did he expect? "I threaten your ultimate asset! haHA!" Any of the team, from the Colonel on down, would have taken him out.

During the scene where the Fulcrom agent laid out his entire plan to Sarah I waited for Seth Green to jump out from behind a Christmas tree and chew him out. ;) Ever since Austin Powers I have been unable to tolerate any exposition for the villain. That film ruined my suspension of disbelief!

Oh, wow. Salvation looks AMAZING. I'd heard from the very beginning of TSCC that the movie franchise was going to take the events of the show into account and now this kinda confirms it. And I so hope that as the trailers show up for the flick, the ratings jump when TSCC comes back in *sniffle* February.

asta77 December 22 2008, 05:14:31 UTC

I hope TSCC gets picked up for a third season because after the release of the film I suspect they may pick up many viewers.

I love that Casey not only got stuck with the wrapping station, but that he took his job seriously. I mean, he ran out for supplies!

Casey with his multiple papercuts from working the gift wrap station made my day, as did Reginald Veljohnson reprising his Die Hard role.

Chuck/Sarah angst always falls flat for me. I really like both characters, but the obstacles to their romance always seem so forced by the writers that I can't work up any interest.

asta77 December 22 2008, 05:22:18 UTC

So, Reginald was playing the same character. I thought he was, but it's been so long since I've seen Die Hard I couldn't recall the character's name.

I loved the way they handled Sarah/Chuck last season and the start of the season, but I had fears that trying to come up with ways to keep them apart was going to grow tiresome and it's getting to that point. And every time their resolve to stay apart weakens, the show has to come up with a new obstacle. So, now we have Sarah kill someone in front of Chuck in order for him to rethink his feelings for her.
