Gary Cole returns as Sarah’s father. It’s always good to see more of Sarah’s backstory. I forget: Where was Sarah’s mother during her childhood?
There was something oddly disjointed about last night’s episode; case in point: Awesome makes an appearance but not Ellie. It’s almost as if the writers want to tie up as many loose ends as possible before the show’s cancellation. AFAIK, there’s been no news either way.
Best bit from the episode: Sarah trying to imitate Chuck during a flash.
Last week’s thread I was the fourth and final reply. Now, I am only the second reply. Interest in weekly thread’s for the show have dropped just like the ratings. With the ratings the show has been getting, I can’t see any way it will not be cancelled. I will miss it. I still find the show entertaining.
Kathy to ‘Alex’: “You’re a hero. You got everything you wanted.” Casey’s expression clearly said ‘No.’ Will Kathy and Casey get back together before the end of the season/series? I have liked this storyline. It gives Casey some humanity.
I also loved Gary Cole. I always love Gary Cole, from “American Gothic” to “Office Space” to this.
I don’t think we actually know much anything about her mother. This wiki page says that :
Baldwin was joking that a Casey romantic plot would need to be in the 10pm hour, not the 8pm hour.
Cute spin on the “Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’” storyline.
I enjoy seeing Gary Cole playing Sarah’s dad – he’s great as a con-man!
And I loved watching Sarah mimic Chuck’s flashing. Hilarious!
I was impressed that Sarah could actually decorate a wedding “cake”. My mom used to do wedding cakes, and that is not as easy as it looks.
Little Sarah was incredibly adorable.
I’m still not buying 84$ worth of cookies -
I don’t know. I like the show, and watch it every week, but I’m starting to think it’s been played out, and wouldn’t be all that sorry to see it go. They’ve done everything they reasonably can do with it.
They’ve had several episodes that would have made perfect series endings, this whole will it/won’t it be canceled death march kinda kills interest. I still watch though.
I think I agree with that. The first season or so had the ongoing storyline about Bryce Larkin, followed by the storyline about The Ring, followed (I think) by the one about Volkoff, followed by the one about his daughter. Just how many criminal mastermind conspiracies can there possibly be?
These two points nail it for me. First we had Fulcrum, then the Ring, then Volkoff, etc. Chuck completely destroys each enemy agency, only to have a new one pop right up in its place, and it does tend to get old.
But, since they never know which episode will be the last, they need to keep having Chuck “win” in the end. This creates a kind of viscious circle that weakens the show’s plausibility with each turn.
Chuck is still on the bubble. According to EW.com:
The Twitter mention is a reference to the We Give a Chuck campaign, where fans tweet companies that advertise or have products featured on the show.
I understand what you are saying about the “series endings”. But it is still a fun show, so I continue to watch!
Hopefully, they’ll also take into account the weird hoops the show had to jump through this season. They originally sold 13 episodes, so they had a big finale-moment with the defeat of Volkoff. But NBC extended their season to 24 episodes, so now we’re in the second half season, which had to be written after the season had already climaxed. That sort of thing is bound to throw off the ratings a bit.
At one point, I think the producers of the show talked about expanding the use of product placement to fund the show. I’ve never seen them do that much with it (or maybe it’s been too subtle for me), which seems odd for a show that’s got a big-box electronic store as one of its main sets. But this episode had a whole sequence set in a Supershuttle van. That’s gotta be a paid plug. I didn’t mind it that much, though.
You haven’t noticed Big Mike’s love for Subway sandwiches?
OK, aside from that, which is such a blatant product placement that it’s almost winking at the idea.
they’ve gone a good amount of automobile placement too.
Well anyway, now Chuck and Sarah know that they don’t have to pay a wedding planner. The two of them with Casey and Morgan can throw together a kick-ass wedding in an afternoon. They may want to get someone to bake a real cake, though.
