Chuck - Chuck vs the Tooth, S03E16

Who would not love an episode of any show guest starring Christopher Lloyd in which the main character gets to refer to Lloyd as Doc.?

Those of us who love Chuck are nerd, or geeks, or whatever term you choose to refer to yourself, but you know I'm talking about you. We all remember Back to the Future, and Christopher Lloyd has a very special place in our hearts, so of course this made perfect sense. But I still want to congratulate the writers and producers of one of my favourite shows for continuing to give us, the audience, exactly what we want time and again.

1. The Intersect might be driving Chuck (Zachary Levi) insane, and may cause permanent mental damage. WOW! Something so useful and so powerful, now finally properly under Chuck's control, and there are dangerous side effects?

2. Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and Chuck continue to face challenges as a couple that are not caused by tensions between them as a couple. Do they love each other? Yes. Okay, so Sarah doesn't say it enough, but Chuck isn't feeling stressed because of his uncertainty about their relationship. He's got a whole lot more going on.

3. Bringing back Shaw (Brandon Routh). Hey, we all thought Bryce Larkin was dead, and they brought back Chuck's best friend from College/rival, why wouldn't they bring back his evil rival who betrayed him, Sarah, and the entire country? I'm so glad to know that, in all likelihood, Shaw is breathing and is going to be back!!

4. Morgan (Joshua Gomez) is too busy for Anna (Julia Ling), and isn't particularly interested in her anymore. That's right, he's not just going to take whatever he can get whenever he can get it. He's got some sort of self-respect thing going on here.

5. Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) is being used by the Ring! They want to find her father and they are going to use her to do it, making her think that all her real allies are the enemy!

6. A room full of insane spies ready to be called to action. I was a little disappointed that they were all so easily tranked, but boy that moment was fun.

All signs are pointing to renewal, and the scripts, acting, and directing are also well in line to deserve it. Don't you agree?
