CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck vs.The Bullet Train’

THE MISSION – Sarah (newly intersected) and Casey set out to rescue Chuck from a bullet train in Japan. He’s being held by Nicholas Quinn, one of the most nefarious villains to appear on the show ever! He’s really, really bad! As bad as Shaw! Using the intersect implanted in Sarah, the team seems to […]

THE MISSION – Look! A paying client! It’s the return of Gertrude Verbanski. Tonight’s episode opens with Chuck being held captive by the traditional evil doctor. “How would you like to die today, Mr. Carmichael?” Never fear; Sarah and Casey to the rescue, but not before the doctor has given Chuck the Carmicheal Industries mission […]

CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck Versus the Baby’

THE MISSION – Holy Matrix!  What a flashback!  Sarah has changed so much.  Five years ago she could take down eleven men without blinking or thinking. Neither did she have the sensitivity to deal with a crying baby, but our girl learns fast. Call Mom! Did I mention that this baby is the key to […]

CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck Versus the Santa Suit’

THE MISSION – Gasp! NOOOOOOO!!!!! Not SHAW!!!! Yes, Shaw. You just knew he’d be back, and he’s more evil than ever. The Omen virus has opened the door for Shaw to wreak vengeance on Sarah and Chuck. He starts by taking Sarah as she works alone in Castle, playing Christmas elf for Ellie and baby […]

CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck Versus the Curse’

THE MISSION – No paying mission again for Carmichael Industries. Instead, Chuck and Sarah are on the run. Thanks to a cleverly coded, finger tapping morse code message from General Beckman, Chuck and Sarah escape from Castle and head for the Orion cabin. Casey goes to meet General Beckman, while Special Agent Robyn Cunnings is […]

CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck vs. The Hack Off’

THE MISSION – As the episode opens, we find Chuck and Sarah visiting Casey in prison. They want to break him out, but Casey declines their offer.

CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck vs. the Business Trip’

THE MISSION– Carmicheal Industries has no paying client (yet again!).  After their big score with the U.S. Government they find they must protect one of their own.  Clyde Decker, the C.I.A.’s agent you love to hate, has posted a kill order on Morgan Grimes.  With the help of General Beckman and a pair of slick […]

CHUCK Season Premiere Recap: ‘Chuck vs. The Zoom’

CHUCK’s back!  It’s been a long wait, but as episode 5.01 proved, it’s been worth it! Plus, geek heaven, Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker of STAR WARS) was only one of the guests in tonight’s premiere. The only question is: Can Schwartz, Fedak et al keep it up through 12 more episodes? The bar is high, […]

CHUCK Recap: Chuck vs. the Masquerade

After feeling a bit underwhelmed by the last two filler episodes of CHUCK, tonight’s episode felt especially triumphant. Jam packed with story, “Chuck vs. the Masquerade” was a great kickoff to the remainder of the sen son. Given the theme of tonight’s episode, I have to wonder why the writer’s opted for “vs. the Masquerade” […]

CHUCK: ‘Chuck vs. the Push Mix’

It’s hard to believe, but at the time of the construction of tonight’s “Chuck vs. the Push Mix,” the cast, crew and creative team behind CHUCK didn’t know if the show would live beyond this episode. After being picked up initially for only 13 episodes this season, tonight’s hour had the difficult task of being […]

CHUCK: ‘Chuck vs. The Gobbler’

Hey Nerdherders!  Kath is traveling, so I’ll be covering Team Bartowski in her place this week.  When we left off, Chuck had spent the hour trying repeatedly to propose to Sarah in front of some very unrealistic-looking green screens.  Alas, as Kath put it last week, he was rock-blocked at every turn, even when everyone […]

CHUCK: ‘Chuck vs. The Aisle of Terror’

Hey, CHUCK fans! Kath is traveling this week, so I’m covering the show in her absence, in addition to my usual SUPERNATURAL gig. And although I’m not on regular CHUCK duty, I’ve been religiously watching the show since day one, and bought five dollar footlongs along with everyone else at the end of season two, because I […]

CHUCK: Chuck Versus the Coup d’Etat’ and the Return of the Angel De La Muerte

Am I the only one that daydreams about being able to walk into the writers room of my favorite shows and air my grievances in the hopes that they will listen and my shows will be better off for it? I wouldn’t be so arrogant to think that I could do better than any of […]

CHUCK: CHUCK Versus the Cubic Z

A cubic zirconia is like a Monet – from far away, it’s okay, but up close, it’s a big old mess (thanks, Cher Horowitz). That pretty much sums up my thoughts on last night’s “Chuck Versus the Cubic Z”. From a distance, it had all the makings of a great episode — Steve Austin and […]
