by Courtney HildenThis time on Chuck, our hero demands that Sarah be brought back home after she pushes Casey out a window, nearly killing him. As usual, the General refuses. Sarah, meanwhile, is working with Chuck's Mom to bring down Volkoff. Which would probably happen without Orion, back from the dead, showing up.
Chuck frequently has episodes that are about pushing the storyline farther. It is actually one of the nice things about the show, since it means we do not dawdle with storylines and instead go from one necessary event to the other. So even though this episode had some important events, for the most part it was not as fun or as engaging as the show usually is. (Though, it still manages to be one of the best written shows on television and definitely the best planned.) The highlight of the night? Jeffster singing "Push It."
I was truly afraid that the laser chamber was going to feature extremely distasteful images of Morgan. It was bad, but not as bad as it could been, and I appreciate that.
As much as I am enjoying the Alex and Casey scenes, I wish we'd see more of Alex's Mom. I would much rather see a Casey/long-lost love romance then this creepy and inappropriate Alex/Morgan thing.
In terms of other great characters, the General is the most unsung character on this show. She manages to be perfectly respectful and adorable at the same time. It's too bad we only see her so frequently doing her broadcasts to Castle and not in person. Sarah is starting to look a look like Prue from Charmed with her black hair, so I guess it's a good thing that she is done with her mission and will be back to normal with her typical blond hair. Giving Sarah black hair to represent her "turn to the darkside" was lame, especially since the audience and other characters know who she is.
