Oh Captain... My Captain


Chuck vs. The Pink Slip

This is going to be a work in progress. But it's going to start with this; this episode is the first episode that I ever watched where I actively thought. I want that song. That song was Sam Sparro's - Black & Gold. The song is absolutely brilliant. The lyrics are slightly unusal (I've posted them previously) but it is by far my favourite "Chuck" song.

Then there is episode itself. When I first watched the episode, I had a lot of mixed feelings about it. The first was that, I couldn't believe that it was back. I'd been waiting for so long, that now that it was here, I didn't know if I should love it or expect more. Maybe even that I'd missed things about previous episodes that I didn't quite see how they fit into this one. As with me and all Chuck episodes, there is a lot of value to watching them a couple of times, to pick up on the nuances that may have been missed the first time around.

One thing that I will say, is that Zachary Levi playing the guitar... was awesome. Now I don't know how much of that is him actually playing that, but I really love that piece that he plays. Does anyone know where I can get it? I really want it. So that's a tiny part of a 42 minute episode. What about the rest? Let's leave that to another day... Anti-climatic. Yes. but thank you for reading. One of these days I am going to start at episode one and give a personal view on each of the episodes. I'll call it project Chuck.

Tomorrow Chuck vs. First Class (NBC @ 8pm est) airs. I read a couple of spoilers... sounds like it's going to be a good episode. Hopefully we will see a few Kristan Kreuk fans joins us, bumping up our ratings. Smallville is doing pretty well so I am sure that there will be people watching for her alone. At least one hopes. Alright, I really am leaving this time. My phone is dying and I plan to watch some eps on it, before I finally wrap up this night.

Nerd is the werd...

Oh and catch Zachary Levi on the Ellen Show at 4pm on ABC (WFTS for Tampa viewers). I've already set my DVR. I am so excited.
