And it all comes down to this : Chuck faces off against Shaw , Morgan and Casey ill-use up , and there ’s lots of smooching . mollycoddler forrader …
Buenos dias , amigo y amigas . I hope your day commence as nice as Chuck and Sarah ’s did : satiny sheets , a opinion of the Eiffel Tower , lots of smooching . What … no ? Yeah , me neither . Let ’s get into it , shall we ?
“ Chuck Vs . The Other Guy ” lead off with the Other Guy conduct Sarah in a two - man assault on a desert instalment that may or may not be a muddle in the ground , may or may not be the secret central office of the Ring — and may or may not be a ruse to get Sarah in the midriff of nowhere for a little cutey death penalty .
Chuck love that Shaw ’s probably gone over the deep end , twisted by the cognition that Sarah killed his wife . Beckman wo n’t send an aid , so Chuck turns to Casey — but since he ’s a civilian and ca n’t help ( despite the fact that ’s exactly what he ’s been doing these preceding few episode ) , he gives Chuck the keys to the heavy horse cavalry . And , like a flash , Chuck and a special effect team are assaulting that same desert installation .
( Maybe you could esplain this to me : How did Chuck make it all the way into the — where were we ? — ah , yes , THE MIDDLE OF THE FRIGGIN ’ DESERT in the time it took Sarah and Shaw to walk down a flight of stairs of stairs ? Okay , never mind … actuate on . )
Sarah walks the right way where Shaw planned — into the Lord of the Ring ’s virtual broadcast sleeping room ( you ca n’t stop the signal ) — and Sarah sees the very thing that ’s driven Shaw huffy : footage from her Red Test . But Shaw is n’t out to obliterate Sarah — or was he , and he change his mind at the last arcsecond ?
( I ’d care to take a minute and say , for the disk , that I think Yvonne Strahovsky is the best doer on this show . There ’s a beat where she make precisely what she ’s done to Shaw — “ I kill your wife ? ! ” — and at least three conflicting emotion sprint across her face : shock , disgust , and compunction , in the blink of an eye . Damn , she ’s expert . And I ’m not just read that because I play Mass Effect 2 doubly just to have sex with her . )
Chuck and the mysteriously fleet - footed troop crash in to save a day that apparently did n’t want saving . “ And the storage tank , the tank … cancel the tank . ”
Back in Castle , there ’s a momentary hiccup in team dynamics — Gen. Beckman wants to transgress up the team but , apparently , Shaw ’s all right working with the char who obliterate his wife , just as long as they can take out the Lord of the Ring . ( sorry guy rope warn ! ) Instead , she ’s moving Sarah and Shaw to DC to channelise up the Ring task forcefulness , leaving Chuck in Burbank to … marinade in his sorrow .
Suddenly , being a spy ai n’t all it ’s cracked up to be . The real world keeps butting its nozzle in : First , Gen. Beckman wants to move Chuck to Rome , contain him away from Sarah and his whole support system . Now she want him to continue in Burbank … while get rid of Sarah to DC . Methinks it ’s clip for Chuck to reassess why he need to be a undercover agent in the first place . Was it actually to do good for the Red , White , and gamey ? Or was it because he cogitate it would cement a future with the people he loved ? Was he like a in high spirits - shoal Kyd who joined the football team not because he dig the secret plan , but because all his next-to-last gamy friends were doing it , and he did n’t want to “ break up the band ” ? Was he just doing it for the young lady ?
And so there ’s booze ! And Pretty in Pink ! And kissing ! And declarations of dearest ! And Morgan ! discover that last one . sexual love and kissing ! Finally .
Sarah and Chuck get in , get the Lord of the Ring , hold a small hostage tea party , and then get trapped — Sauron know they were coming all along ; I wonder how ? Then Shaw break in , shoots everyone , and seals himself in the elevator with Sauron . Gunfire . And , as Chuck and Sarah walk aside at Shaw ’s behest , everyone who ’s supposed to be utter deplume themselves off the flooring .
Bad Shaw . Bad , tough , sorry , bad , sorry Shaw . mind , I love you guys more than you make love , but if you did n’t see that coming , you just have n’t been pay attention . Or perhaps have never take in American idiot box before .
With the help of Morgan — a schoolmaster of kung - fu moving picture watching — Chuck figures out that Shaw staged the whole lift action fooferoo . And when he fire up up Beckman — who just murder Shaw and Sarah to Paris — to deliver the newsworthiness , she keep out him down and claps him off . ( Who knew the Clapper was so popular with those military type ? )
Shaw , ever the amorous , bring Sarah to the Parisian corner where she make pass her Red Test , all those yr ago . And just as Sarah twig to Shaw ’s Evil Scheme , the paralytic he dosed her with takes effect . Slumped in a café chair , Shaw — and the Lord of the Ring — drops the wicked science . Not only will Shaw eventually get his long - hungered - for retaliation by killing Sarah , but he ’ll get back at the CIA for orchestrating her striking . The Ring gets a unexampled agent and the schematic for building their own Intersect .
Once again , Chuck — who must be in possession of Hermes ’ magic - traveling sandal — arrive just when he ’s needed . And … fight fight fight , shoot shoot shoot . Casey nabs Sauron , Chuck reap down on Shaw … and ultimately pull the trigger .
This instalment was , allot toexecutive manufacturer Chris Fedak , primitively designed to be a time of year close . And it palpate like it … in both good ways and big ones . It ties up a bunch of loose ends , namely the whole Shaw business enterprise , and sets up a whole new dynamic — Casey ’s back on Team Bartowski and Morgan get to get together the crowd . But the whole “ plot ” of the episode feel merely like waypoints to get you to the worked up beats we needed . Which were smashing , but truly fantabulous Chuck sequence manage to desegregate the boxing and the heart a piece better than this .
It ’ll be interesting to see how the season ’s continue six eats deal with this new status quo . Nine time out of 10 , a show that ’s teased a romantic coupling for this farseeing will fall apart once they get their happily ever after . The minds behind Chuck have done a particularly nimble line of work of stay fresh their lead apart ; but now they ’ve get new amniotic fluid to navigate .
But for now , we ’ll always have Paris .
