When we last saw Chuck, he’d just seen Sarah shoot an unarmed Fulcrum agent, and this has left our beloved Intersect with some big unanswered questions. Chuck dreams that he confesses his doubts to Sarah, but she tries to kill him. Awesome and Ellie tell Chuck to take a day off, but instead he heads to the Buy More, where Tyler Martin is holding a signing for his new album. This isn’t a good start to the day.

ReplyDeleteMorgan is tasked with training Big Mike’s friend, who’s just been released from prison. While Morgan struggles to deal with a tough assignment, Emmett must handle the massive autograph line by screaming. I loved the nod to Arrested Development when Tony Hale said “no touching.” If only Gob were at the Buy More. Chuck suddenly flashes on a man with a grenade. Sarah and Casey take the grenade and blow it up on the loading dock, but not before Morgan tries to interfere. Someone is trying to kill Tyler Martin. Chuck and Sarah are told to bring Tyler in for questioning, and this is easy to do since Sarah uses her sex appeal to lead him to Casey, who then shoots him with a tranquilizer dart and leaves him with Chuck. Casey and Sarah go to the bomber’s apartment, and Casey calls him a fanboy.
Meanwhile, at the Buy More, Morgan, Lester, and Jeff are searching the Tyler Martin CDs for backstage passes to his concert. Morgan finds the pass, and stages a competition to see who he’ll take with him. The competition was my favorite element of the episode. Morgan makes the guys find a pair of women’s underwear, eat a massive sub, and touch a urinal cake (which Jeff eats preemptively, winning the contest but grossing everyone out as usual.) Tyler (I almost called him Charlie, since Dominic Monaghan, who plays him, also played Charlie on Lost) talks Chuck into going to a club. Chuck and Tyler start drinking, and are led up to Tyler’s room by two women who chuck flashes on. Tyler wanders off, and Chuck is chased onto an elevator by the two women. As he clings to the glass elevator for dear life, Sarah and Casey arrive and fight the women off. Chuck sees a tattoo on Tyler’s back and flashes on it, revealing that Tyler’s manager was using the tattoos to pass on information. Even though Ahmed, the man who tried to kill them, is still at large, Chuck convinces Tyler to take the stage at his concert anyway in hope of luring Ahmed out into the open. At the concert, Sarah and Casey catch Ahmed. Morgan gives away the ticket to Butterman, the ex-con, who sells it for money to go to Philadelphia. Chuck tells Sarah that he saw her kill the Fulcrum agent, and she sort of explains why she did it. She tells Chuck he can take time off, but he goes on a mission anyway.
I liked the episode, but I thought the 3-D fell flat. I couldn’t really see anything in 3-D, and I thought it was a hassle. I really liked Dominic Monaghan though, he did a good job of playing Tyler. I still think Chuck and Sarah need to talk some more, because it didn’t seem like Chuck was really okay with her at the end. What did you all think? Leave your two cents in the comments below!
Your right, Chuck and Sarah need to talk. They are dragging them a bit. I for one liked the 3D. The best part was when the girl threw the knife at the screen...whoa!! Not quite as funny as some of the other eps. Usaully crazy stuff goes on at the Buy More...I guess thay gotta give it a break. I hear it is going to get even more tense with Chuck & Sarah.
ReplyDeletethe last part when chuck and sarah were talking was really nice... sarah said chuck should take a day or two off with no spy, no casey, no satellites, NO SARAH......i think sarah was just testing chuck, the reson why chuck decided to join them in the new mission is because he cant stand a day without seing sarah....that's why srah smiled at the end....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura for covering for me while I was on the Barenaked Ladies cruise.
