Chuck: 11/05/07 "Chuck vs. The Alma Mater"

Did anyone else watch this episode? I thought this was the best one yet. Of course, I am sure the Tolkien references did not influence me at all. :wink:

Somehow, Chuck’s actions in this show seemed more realistic than prior. I liked the fleshing out of his background and the partial explanation for Bryce’s actions. I enjoyed the reference to the obscure Anthony Edwards film Gotcha! with the dart gun game. It made me look it up on the IMDB and I never realized the hot chick in the movie was a young Linda Fiorentino. I had forgotten about this enjoyable little movie until that moment in the episode. My wife had no clue about what I was talking.

John Casey’s interaction with the environmentalist cracked me up. The line was something like “Screw you, you damn dirty hippy”. Speaking as someone that helps put on a yearly environmental festival, I still found it funny.

I would just like to say: “Football in the groin” Simpsons did it first! :smiley:

I liked the cavalry arriving from all over the campus, “are you going to the Toga party?”

This show was loaded or even overloaded with references to other shows. Almost felt like Kevin Smith was involved with this instead of “Reaper”.

I enjoyed the subplot with Harry as Sauron and his “One Remote” to rule them all. The list of petty rules was almost straight of the walls of the Shire before the Scouring. It was good to see Morgan get the better of Harry, mostly on his own; this was his shining moment to date.

Way to hurt my feelings, Jim.

I requested this one to be closed. I looked, I really looked. Damn if I know how I missed it.

OK, closed at request of OP.
