When last season ended, Chuck (Zachary Levi) had just downloaded a new intersect into his brain, one that allowed him to learn kung fu. In Chuck vs the Pink Slip, we learned that regardless of how many awesome new abilities he can now access - kung fu, guitar playing, boxing, etc - he still has no control over his ability to flash and access the skills.
This episode, the first of three starting off the season, was really designed to restore the status quo. Because of the fear of cancellation last year, changes occurred that needed to be undone so that our heroes could continue to function in about the same way they did in years past.
Chuck, Casey (Adam Baldwin), and Morgan (Joshua Gomez) are all now working at the Buy More again, Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and Chuck are back to hiding their feelings from each other, and the team is back to working together in the Castle under neath the Orange Orange yogurt shop.
In many ways, Chuck still has the stand alone formula, where no major changes will occur except in season finales or the like. The premise of every episode is about the same - Chuck, Sarah, and Casey must save the world with their spy skills while keeping their spying a secret, and our friends at the Buy More get themselves into some kind of trouble, which may or may not overlap with the spy plot.
In this episode, the highlight was truly Casey flying in to rescue Sarah and Chuck, firing his large gun and delighting in every moment of it. Oh, have I missed this show. Did you miss it two? Check back in an hour for the review of So3E02!
