Chuck -3x05 -"Chuck vs. First Class"-Discuss/Grade <SPOILERS>

[the Dagman]

Here we are at yet another Monday, and yet another Chuck-day! I've been enjoying the first few episodes of this season so far. Last week's my favorite so far. I hope they can keep it up.

Spoiler: This week's offical episode description

On his first solo mission, Chuck battles a Ring agent at 30,000 feet. Kristin Kreuk and Stone Cold Steve Austin guest star.

 

[TheBrew]

Oh yeah, I'm ready to get Chucked hard tonight.

 

[DimesDan]

I voted Big Mike, t'was an ok episode overall

Spoiler: spoilers for chuck 3.05

The feud between Morgan and Leicester was amusing and Morgan's recruitment and utilizing of Casey was a stand out point. Who was the girl playing Hannah and what has she been in before? And after a few weeks of Awesome, he and Ellie were no where to be seen.

 

[Roshi]

^

Spoiler: that female character

Hannah is played by Kristen Kreuk, formerly Lana Lang on Smallville

I lol'd at Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's song at the end...

 

[Darth_Daver]

Solid episode, Superman is getting more mysterious, and Kristin Kreuk was surprisingly less annoying without Tom Welling

The first ever Morgan+Casey storyline ROCKED

 

[TheBrew]

I just realized that this may be the best Lana+Clark episode ever.

 

[FPAlpha]

Very solid episode.. even with the Intersect 2.0 Chuck is still himself and uses what makes him Chuck (albeit getting to his goal somewhat differently now ).

I had to google who this woman is he met on the plane (don't watch Smallville) because my god is she beautiful.. Strahovski is drop dead gorgeous but Kreuk is even beyond her (and not just because Kreuk is my type of woman).

Looking forward to the next episodes.. Chuck forever!

Chuck: "And i didn't get to use my Nunchucks.. "

How did you all see this so early?

 

[Iasius]

It aired in Canada on Sunday.

... and we're obviously all Canadian.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Ironically, his skills with the 'chuks didn't seem so hot.

 

[Lt. Trull]

Betcha 100 Quatloo's that Ms. Smallville is a ring operative....
O and loved the Battlestar Galactial shirt...

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

Frak off!

it would be a bit of a retread if she did turn out to be Ring agent, like Chuck's ex being a Fulcrum agent. I think the only other love interest that didn't turn out to be one was Rachel Bilson's character. Or was she? I forget.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Well crafted and lightweight fun, but the romantic back and forth is really starting to draaag.

 

[broberfett]

I enjoyed the Manchurian Candidate line after Animal Mother Baldwin works over the dude with the mind control trance thing. Why would Lana, who is super hot and just came off a job that must have paid a ton of money, go work at the BuyMore unless she is a spy? Just her pocket change leftover from the other job would be higher than working at BuyMore for a year. The first class area showed what kind of job she must have had-one that pays very well.

Watched this yesterday in Canuckia. Anyhow, I'm fairly certain that I'm watching an anime that happens to be acted out in live action. Nerdy fantasy wish-fulfillment surrounded by gorgeous women and supportive but non-sexual male characters? Heck, they even manage to fit in the gratuitous lingerie shots.

They really should just animate this and make a killing in Japan.

 

[Agent Richard07]

Why would Lana, who is super hot and just came off a job that must have paid a ton of money, go work at the BuyMore unless she is a spy?

I thought she might be the new guy's ex. Doesn't look like she is, but there's still something suspicious about her.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Maybe that's what the creators want us to think. Besides, maybe she didn't come to the Buy More looking for a job, but to ask Chuck out.

 

[Caligula]

^She did seem to recognize awfully fast that Chuck had been poisoned. Doesn't mean she's evil, but I guess we'll find out. Oh, BTW, this was my first episode of Chuck. I wish I could say my reasons for tuning in had been anything more than seeing Kristin Kreuk on something besides Smallville, but then I'd be lying. Obviously, I have nothing to compare this episode to, so I don't know how it holds up to the rest of the series (I'll leave that to you guys).... But I enjoyed it. It was certainly a welcome change from the quality of the show for which it serves as the lead-in, Heroes.

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

she was in Eurotrip making out with Matt Damon, but "Scotty doesn't know."

Yeah, I own Eurotrip on DVD. My favorite scene from the movie. LOL.
