Chuck, 3x05, “Chuck vs. First Class”

Episode Title: Chuck vs. First Class
Writer: Chris Fedak
Director: Fred Toye
Originally Aired: 01/25/2010
Grade: A

Best episode of the season so far! This had all the ingredients that make a classic Chuck episode—an exciting mission, personal and professional growth for Chuck, and an emphasis on the dynamic between the main spy trio. We got to see Chuck as a competent spy once again, and Kristen Kreuk didn’t make me want to spork my eyes out. In fact, Hannah was quite adorable.


Shaw, on the other hand, still seems like a doof to me. Chuck may have some out of this mission alive thanks to the Intersect and Casey’s support, but he wasn’t “ready” for it. Still, if no one pushes him, he’ll never grow, and its probably better to have a guest star push Chuck into things he’s not ready for than to have Sarah and Casey do it, especially since part of the trios character growth this season involves Casey and Sarah being forced to stop protecting Chuck and let him sink or swim on his own.


Other Stuff


-Casey called Shaw and Sarah from the Buy More to see how Chuck’s mission was going. Awww, the big guy cares!
