In this episode, Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) continued to clash because of the romantic feelings they have for each other. For a spy to love is a liability, and Sarah, much more professional about it than Chuck, really does try to bury that emotion. Still, we are only in Season 3 and the will they/won't they tension can play out for some time yet without being a problem for me.
I can still enjoy Morgan (Joshua Gomez) as he tries to get the attention of Carina (Mini Anden), Sarah's hot spy friend whom he was previously interested in. Yes, it's not exactly original to have her end up in bed with him after he said no to her, but it was worth it. His entire speech rejecting her, which concluded with him taking a drink of the punch she spiked and passing out, was pure Morgan and very hard to resist.
Again, my favourite moments of the show were those of John Casey (Adam Baldwin). From refusing to pretend to be Carina's father, claiming he is not old enough for it, to being her dorky uncle Johnny, and finally to being the angry neighbour who pulled out the garden hose to get rid of unwanted party guests, the writers are really using the character to full effect this season, and Baldwin is portraying Casey with the same enjoyment as he has always had.
As I mentioned in my post on the first episode of this season, posted one hour ago, the plot lines are not really what drive the show. You show up every week to see what trouble the characters get into and how they overcome it, and to laugh and smile at the absurdity of it. Or am I wrong? Why do you watch Chuck?
