Chuck, 3x03, “Chuck vs. the Angel of Death”

Episode Title: Chuck vs. the Angel of Death
Writer: Phil Klemmer

Director: Jeremiah S. Chechik

Originally Aired: 01/11/2010
Grade: B+

I’m torn about Chuck’s attitude toward Awesome. On the one hand, he was a bit snotty and condescending, almost playing Casey to Awesome’s Chuck. It grated. On the other hand, he probably couldn’t afford to be sweet and gentle to the overly enthusiastic Awesome. Chuck had to be firm with him, because otherwise, Awesome and Elli might end up dead.

Either way, at least it was nice to see Chuck as a fairly effective spy, flashing on the needed dance moves and on how to remove Casey’s bullet.

Other Stuff

-Seeing Ellie and Awesome making out in a broom closet was cute, but I hope that flashback doesn’t clash with Season 1 story about Awesome telling Ellie her sweater matched her eyes—I don’t remember if that anecdote was about the first time they met.

-I hate Chuck’s poofy hair and long for the return of the “funny animal shapes.”
