Urgent communique: Fulcrum managed to sneak into Miss Sarah J's secret lair and install a signal-scrambler. While she gets that sorted out -- and she's high-kicked three ninjas already, so it shouldn't be long -- I'll be your Chuck handler for the evening.

Chuck does it again, deflating my major objection to the episode early on so I could sit back and enjoy the spectacle. There's carnival madness, Big Mike exhibits his skills, and the True Spirit of Thanksgiving shown to all and sundry. God bless us (with turkey and every starch known to man) every one!

Hey there, nerds and nerd lovers! Happily for me, Sarah is hard at work tonight at her super secret spy job, so I'll be taking over her cover identity as a mild-mannered TV recapper. Very happily, since Chuck is one of my favorite shows these days, and tonight's episode did not disappoint.

Chuck has faced a thousand threats, but nothing is more terrifying than meeting the girl who broke his heart all those years ago. Well, maybe needles, but the girl is a very close second.

I don't even know where to start with this episode of Chuck. There was so much to love. Should I lead with the video games? The musical montage? Jeff? Anna in a grass skirt? The Zune mockery? Sarah being a sweetheart? Casey preparing to save the free world though brute force? RUSH? So many options!

Chuck continues to amaze and impress: You gotta love a show that can combine heartfelt characters, an offbeat love story, revelations that morph into bigger secrets, references to some of the greatest teen movies ever made, and laugh-out-loud dialog with a chick fight in the showers choreographed to "Smack My Bitch Up."

Chuck brings on the heartbreak this week as our favorite geek-boy spy finds out that sometimes, love just ain't enough. Sometimes, love can get you killed. Plus, there's a stunningly fabulous Buy More Cage Match, Bryce shows his hand, and Captain Awesome brings the cheese -- but still managed to be oh so very awesome.

Chuck gets lessons from an old-school, legendary spy this week, and his liver may never recover. Plus, it's guest-star-a-go-go, with John Larroquette and Melinda Clarke competing for best super-spy honors. Oh, and there's a knee-buckling kiss. Everybody wins!

Hot damn, Chuck is back! Our favorite spy geek brings the funny, plus the angst, the pathos and the outright awesome, with this season premiere. Plus, we find out what Sarah DOESN'T wear on a date, and we discover where Casey keeps his all-purpose antidote. And Morgan's sideplot has a purpose this time! Glee!

Chuck 2: The Return of Chuck proves to be just as much fun as the first hour. We've got drunken hijinks, MammaryCam, proposals, pathos, death-defying fights and more. Continue reading »
