Oh, Chuck Me

Just when you thought Jeffster couldn’t get any better than breaking out with a little Toto, they unveil Mr. Robato… and Ellie and Awesome’s wedding… while Sarah brings knives to a gun fight… with Casey parachuting in… only to proceeding to make it rain… literally. And that was just the first half of the episode.



This season, after an absurdly long layoff thanks to the writer’s strike, saw Chuck do anything possible to get the Intercet out of his head so he could live a normal life, and with any luck, get the girl in the end. All sins led to Orion who created the Intercet and just happened to go AWOL right around the time Chuck’s dad walked out on the family without making pancake and not surpisingly (to me anyway) they were one in the same with Scott Bakula.



But the place to be this season was at the Buy More where we got a Jeffster concert, the two members of which got the best lines not uttered by Casey. Then there were their antics from confusing Casey and Sarah with each other while breaking into the Buy More to steal Chuck’s secret computer, manning up with Captain Awesome at Christmas, macking on Brooklyn Decker, Awesome’s bachelor party, and some serious Missile Command skills.



Jeff wasn’t the only one that got some back story this season on Sarah, going back to her ten year reunion, which Casey got to spin records by Hanson and Chumbawamba, and we got to meet her dad, Bill Lumbergh. M’kay. We even got to see another side of Casey as he took on his former sensei. And we finally got to meet the infamous Jill that dumped Chuck for Bryce Larkin who in turn ended up being Fulcram.



Larkin had a knack at showing up at the most inopportune times and did so again in the finale as he was primed to take Sarah away from Chuck on the new Intercet project. It was just that Sarah had different ideas. All plans were squashed when papa Bartowski flashed (you didn’t think he wouldn’t try out the Intercet on himself did you) when a dead man escorted Larkin to the new Intercet, thus introducing us to a third entity (something about a Ring) after it besides Fulcram and the US Government.



Oh, and the updated Intercet has uploading capability where Chuck can learn fighting skills. Then fade to the “To Be Continued…” card. Hopefully that turns out to be true.

Chuck 2.x gets a on my Terror Alert Scale.
