OMG!

…Ben Savage is alive and well and still acting! Yipeee! But seriously, folks. We did learn that Sarah has had several identities and that her father is in prison. I totally have a girl-crush on Yvonne Strahovski. And Nicole Richie was good, no? Solid episode.

I love Chuck. This show is unbelievably entertaining.

Top 3 Moments
1. Melinda Clark’s mug shot. Hahehaehahea!!!
2. Chuck’s escape from the hotel room. He’s so the poop and he doesn’t even know it.
3. BRYCE LARKIN! Sure, he totally killed Chuck’s moment, but COME ON.

Dummy of the Week is definitely Lester. Though, I guess that’s the whole point of his character. He’s a big dummy! I love the Buy More guys. Second place goes to Awesome for listening to Morgan.

What’s with the Huey Lewis music? Just making an observation. I’m starting to think that Huey Lewis and the News gave rights to their entire catalog and production is making the most of it. Not complaining — just wondering what the significance is.

Best line, which has its genius in its simplicity…Montogomery: “Why do you think she’s called the Black Widow?” Chuck: “Because she’s African American and her husband’s dead?”

Poor Chuck was this close to making it happen with Sarah but was stopped by the return of (super sexy hottie) Bryce Larkin! Allow me to be a fangirl for a second and declare my love for Matthew Bomer. I can’t wait for next week. Hell, I don’t know who I would choose if I were in Sarah’s shoes!

Let’s show Chris Fedak some love. I feel like Josh Schwartz gets all the love, but he didn’t create this by himself, my friends. At least, not according to the credits!

P.S. Loved the Richard Marx “cameo” and the Sister Act mention. Also, never knock product placement. I have been dying for a Klondike bar since it appeared in the episode and I was really sad that the one Awesome gave Ellie melted.

ALERT TO NBC.COM AND A WARNING! There are totally spoilery photos on nbc.com in the photo gallery for this episode – they are photos from a future episode (unless I TOTALLY missed something)!

Yes, it’s been a solid week since this episode aired, but I still have thoughts on it! Yay!! Chuck is back! More series regulars!! Captain Awesome!!

Top 3 Moments
1. Chuck’s clever strategy to get the bad guys – classic Chuck and good use of Morgan!
2. The first Chuck flash of the episode.
3. Casey’s little shooting exercise.
It’s hard to pick just 3 from this (or any) Chuck episode!

Paging the Hair Department: A universe in which Morgan has better hair than Chuck is a universe I am not comfortable with. I know Chuck’s a nerd, but please! Fix his hair!

I Have a Crush on Yvonne Strahovski: The fight she did with Michael Clarke Duncan? I’m totally gay for her, meaning, of course, that I want to be her best friend and have her teach me how to kick ass.

The genius of this show is fitting in all they do in one hour! You’ve got action, romance, personal emotional turmoil, and Captain Awesome. And there was still time for Buy More Thunderdome! The way the stories are told are purely awesome….and the music playing over the destruction of the Intersect/Chuck preparing for his date/Casey sneaking in to kill Chuck reminds you that you are watching a Josh Schwartz production. God, I could probably write an essay on why this is the perfect TV show. I’m serious. I really think that this is the PERFECT TV show.

Be sure to watch a new episode of Chuck tonight at 8/7c on NBC.
