still blows my mind that Chuck is an oscar nominated singer!

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

[off topic] Levi was awesome with Mandy Moore at the Oscars. If anyone here hasn't seen it, Tangled is fantastic. [/off topic]

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

^ Well, I'd think it'd have done it already, but hopefully his exposure with it, helps the ratings for Chuck to help solidify a Season 5.

I have to say, at least after the ending of last week, at least they didn't go to where I thought RIGHT AWAY. I didn't watch the previews last week so I don't know if that will change at all this episode, but at least there was some kind of payoff.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

the first time that Casey said no to Morgan's staying with him, he should have just said that he would just call Alex to see if he could stay there.

conflicted about them screwing over Volkoff's daughter, good news is we should get to see more of her and i am all for that.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

LOL at Sarah on the road to becoming a bridezilla.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

OK, so while it's not full-fledged yet, it appears they are doing just what was hinted at the end of last week. I guess kudos for not going there right away?

I liked a lot about the episode this week. (Except Lester. Now I just think it's a mental thing; I can't stand him, no matter what he does. It's not even something logical.) But, they whole "marriage talk while ___________" is getting kind of old. Especially when it seems that their task this week would be the last place the wanted to not concentrate/have someone overhear their plans.

I also love Sarah the bridezilla and how that's going to possibly blow Chuck's cover to Ellie.

:lol: @ the outfit machine in castle.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

Weren't those the LOST numbers on that card?

Edit: confirmed. those were the LOST numbers. :D

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

Well you did notice who was running the bank?

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

Great episode. Loved Sarah the Bank Robber. The writers are finally starting to make this Mr. & Mrs. Smith thing work. The BuyMore no longer works and needs to be phased out.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

The BuyMore definitely feels tacked on now ... does anyone else actually think that Chuck works there?

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

What bothered me is that Morgan's plot seemed to take place over a day and a half, yet Chuck and Sarah flew to Macau and back twice.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

I've always been bored with the Buy More comedy and the two stupid dudes.
It just doesn't work.

Really enjoyed this episode and liking this season Am enjoying Lauren Cohan in the recurring role.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

Anyone get the foreshadowing feel with the gunshots in the bridal gown?

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

Loved the Mr & Mrs Smith/Matrix vibe to the bank robbery. I'm not feeling the Volkoff daughter turning so easy plot though.

Doesn't Ellie still think he works there?

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

They could always flip it in the end and make it as if she was a plant by Chuck and the CIA all along ... maybe.

Fun episode. I definitely enjoyed the bank job bits ... wished that part would have been longer. Also liked how Sarah went from wanting nothing to do with the wedding to all over it. Fun ep.

Only thing I wish they could do is slow things down a bit. Of course thats not possible with always being on the bubble of cancellation and wanting to wrap things up. Most other shows all of these things would be drawn out over many eps (ie the Volkoff daughter angle, the Sarah going from not interested in the wedding etc). It always feels rushed but like I said probably not much choice there.

I'm not so sure that's what they're doing. I mean, that's what everybody thought after the last episode, but we couldn't have been more wrong. Unless she gets totally brainwashed, I feel like she won't be so easily persuaded by Ray Wise if Chuck told her about his experiences with her father.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

I was hoping Ray Wise was gonna say he was from Missoula, Montana. :D

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

I was a little bored with this episode. Not sure why exactly. I too was waiting for Morgan to bring up moving in with Alex. I always liked the BuyMore parts the best but yes it does feel a little tacked on now. Just a way to give those 3 a couple of lines.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

The Buymore is now a CIA cover base (the entire store).

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

I thought the acrobatics and flipping from Chuck and Sarah were a bit too over the top. Kind of a predictable episode, I hope they take the Volkoff daughter story somewhere more interesting.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

Considering the Chuck's Dad & Chuck's Mom plotlines in recent years, I figured they might go for the reveal that Volkoff's daughter is the child of Volkoff and Chuck's Mom. So, Chuck would have a new half-sister.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

:up: I like it!

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the First Bank of Evil" -- 2/28/11
 

I thought Chuck's mom said that she and Volkoff have never been together, just that Volkoff was in love\obsessed with her.
