Chuck -2x18 -"Chuck vs. The Broken Heart"-Discuss/Grade <SPOILERS>

[the Dagman]

Another Monday, another new episode of Chuck.
------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler: tonight's episode

Chuck's relationship with Sarah leads Beckman to replace her with a new agent (guest Tricia Helfer); Buy More hosts Awesome's bachelor party.

I will see you back here after Chuck and Heroes airs on the west coast.

 

[Thrall]

I'll have to miss this one too. Hopefully the Charah angst leads some where.

I'm not missing it. I just don't like to chat about what I am watching as I watch it. Too distracting. Plus, I use my computer to record the episodes.

But if you miss it tonight, catch it on hulu.com tomorrow. With NBC sponsoring the site, I am sure they watch the numbers from there. So you can directly help the way the show's ratings look to NBC, helping it get renewed.

 

[Borgminister]

And Heroes too.

 

[Thrall]

And Heroes too.

Why would I care about a show that's already been renewed?

Number of eps.

Why does that matter? Heroes is only going to last another season anyway. Chuck still has potential. Heroes's ship has sailed in terms of quality.

"Sarah... is it really you or am I super stoned?"

 

[Roshi]

Your grading scale is... awesome, the Dagman!

 

[Skywalker]

Awesome again. I liked Tricia Helfer, and thought it was funny how the CIA/NSA had replaced Chuck's dream girl with Casey's dream girl. I was really glad that Casey ended up siding with Chuck and Sarah in the end, though. He's come a long way since the premiere.

I also really liked that Ellie and Devon were more prominent in this ep. I hope Devon actually does find out that Chuck is the Intersect.

 

[RoJoHen]

^I agree with everything you said.

One of my favorite parts of Season 1 was how the minor characters like Ellie, Awesome, and Morgan still played a very important role in the show. In Season 2, I almost feel like Ellie and Awesome have been replaced by Jeff and Lester, and while they're funny to watch, they really aren't characters you want to get emotionally involved with.

I was kind of hoping this episode wouldn't have gotten wrapped up so quickly. It could have been interesting if Agent Forrest was around for a couple more episodes, while Sarah was off doing something else. But I still thought it was awesome.

 

[Skywalker]

Yeah, I was expecting Forrest to be around for two or three episodes with Sarah going off to do her own thing, too. But this is Chuck, we should've known better.

 

[BigFoot]

Another awesome ep, I absoutely loved it.

 

[TheBrew]

Yeah, I was expecting Forrest to be around for two or three episodes with Sarah going off to do her own thing, too. But this is Chuck, we should've known better.

Only Chuck could have so many reset buttons and me still enjoying. At this point I would call it a sitcom where the premise stays the same and we just laugh at the crazy situations.

 

[Starbreaker]

This is another great episode. Tricia Helfer was awesome. This show will probably end up being in my top 3 of all time when it's all said and done.

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

scott bakula lives in such a tiny trailer. it almost look like sara and chuck were gonna suck face, before the door opened. And do you guys think its possible that Chuck's dad could have been Sara's mentor in the CIA?

 

[Othello]

Good stuff.... i really enjoyed the episode...

Heroes's ship has sailed in terms of quality.

I disagree--glad Heroes is returning, and hope Chuck does the same.

Has it improved? I'm serious, is it worth sticking with and going back and watching the rest of season 3? I watched the first 3 episodes of season 3 and there was so much random, out of the blue stuff going on I just couldn't keep up.

Bad news is that they were down in the ratings slightly. This was too be expected as they were going against all new episodes of all the other network powerhouses. Good news is that the demos stayed stable and about the same as they did as last week. So all in all, they did as well as they could do.

Word through the grapevine is that it's probably going to get renewed. NBC has very little else to offer right now and they like the show. It will probably get 13 episodes at least. Of course that does very little to ease my emotions.

I would start with Volume 4. It starts off a bit slow, but has started to take off. Or to save time, read the synopsis and watch the last three episodes.
