Chuck -3x06 -"Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler"-Discuss/Grade <SPOILERS>

[the Dagman]

So here is another new week and another new Chuckday and we are already up to episode six of the 19 for this season. If they had kept this season at 13 episodes we would be just about halfway through them after this episode. Instead we will have another 13 after this one.

Spoiler: The official description for this episode

Chuck juggles two missions: Training Hannah at the Buy More and managing a human asset by himself. Kristin Kreuk guest stars.

what do you mean we'll have another 13? Is season 3 going to be split into 2 parts?

Why would season three need to be split into two parts in order for "we'll have another 13" to be true?

There are a total of nineteen. Six have been aired, so there are thirteen left. It's pretty simple.

I know I'm a "Chuck" noob and everything, but.... EVERY episode should begin exactly like this one did!

They should have had her come in wearing a sexy red dress a la Six.

Hmm... Nope, I was too busy thinking about Kristin Kreuk in her Nerd Herd outfit.

Went with Awesome! for this episode. I had to. Just for the scene where Chuck and Casey were going over that file about how pathetic the guy was, and then Casey pulls up Chuck's picture and "Oh, this was your old file Chuck." Slam! That had me LMAO for real. I have gotten my nephew to start watching with me, and that us both rolling. A classic comedy bit played to perfection. Almost like a Martin and Lewis routine. Loving this season so far.

I love the episode too. It was surprisingly dark at times but handled the transition from comedic to dramatic moments very well. The bit with the laser pen was my favorite, as well as Jeff's line "It's my constitutional right to fornicate!" I did think it was odd that Chuck had to flash in order to bean a guy with a bowl, or whatever that thing was in the final fight after he used the pen-knife. After "Chuck Versus Operation Awesome", this is my second favorite of the season so far.

Re: Chuck -3x06 -"Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler"-Discuss/Grade <SPOILERS

^ Chuck doesn't need to flash to punch a guy in the face either, but it certainly helps. In this case, it helped him throw the bowl so it actually connected rather than missing totally.

And yeah, Awesome!

 

[Goji]

Re: Chuck -3x06 -"Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler"-Discuss/Grade <SPOILERS

Yeah, I assumed that. It's still probably the least "awesome" flash yet, if such a thing can be measured.

Having just watched it again, I can say that I also liked that this episode made excellent use of the traditional lineup of "Team Bartowski" after bringing in Agent Shaw, giving Chuck a solo mission in the last episode, having Devon as a partner in the preceding two, and shining the spotlight on Carina in the one before that.

Best episode of the season so far, IMO. It really was an interesting look at the process of developing the asset and had strong character development for both Chuck and Sarah that wasn't centered on "Charah". Plus all of the hilarious bits.

I loved how the Buy More and Chuckfamily storyline intersected at the end. Great endings this season.

Kristin Kruek is so much hotter than Strahovski!! Great episode though. was worried witht eh change with Chuck that they wouldn't handle it well but they are.

 

[Caligula]

Re: Chuck -3x06 -"Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler"-Discuss/Grade <SPOILERS

Agreed, wholeheartedly, Othello! That's why, after several years of using the same Eliza Dushku avatar here, I've decided it's time for a change.
