After seeing the Belgian (Richard Chamberlain) take off with Chuck (Zachary Levi), I knew what was about to come – a wild and crazed Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski)) hell-bent on getting her boyfriend back. The execution proved good, but I didn’t care for the Belgian storyline. Richard Chamberlain played the typical cookie-cutter villain in a spy film. I had really hoped for something a little different, a little more impressive.
Watching Morgan (Joshua Gomez) and Casey (Adam Baldwin) bargain with one another in Castle was also worth watching. Morgan had Casey locked up and it served as a good time to work things out. Earlier in the season, I thought Casey was going to be more willing to take Morgan on missions with him, so his reluctance didn’t make a whole lot of sense to be honest. Morgan’s best role can be that of the “magnet”. It worked out beautifully in Thailand.
The dream sequences with Chuck were very well done. The direction and production values were terrific. I, however, admit that I wished to see Chuck push through and flash. I haven’t a clue why Chuck can’t seem to get things going again. It’s a bizarre struggle.
Yvonne Strahovski as Agent Sarah Walker
While Chuck’s struggle with his dreams and the Intersect was good to watch, it was the emotional connection to Sarah that proved even better. I don’t how anyone could watch this episode and not be moved by it all. Yvonne Strahovski’s acting was outstanding. She sold it as well as anyone could. I’d say it was some of her best acting on the show.
This episode had a lot of emotional scenes. To keep things a little more balanced, Captain Awesome (Ryan McPartlin) offered to help Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) with that laptop of her dad’s. Not being a tech wiz, Awesome did the right thing when he asked Jeff (Scott Krinsky) and Lester (Vik Sahay) for help. I knew things were going to get crazy, but I never would have guessed the boys would have Awesome help out all of the nerds they knew with medical consults. I figured he’d just help Jeff and Lester. I really enjoyed those light-hearted moments. The comedy side of Chuck is done so much better than most shows that try to combine comedy with drama.
