Alright, it's time to put that last slice of bread on top of our
Chuck sandwich. "Chuck Vs. The Marlin" was the last episode finished before the

First of all, here's something worthy of celebrating for all you
Chuck fans:
NBC has picked up the show for a full season, along with the new series
Life. Exactly what that means depends on how long it takes to resolve the
Hollywood writers' strike, but whenever shows go into production again, Chuck will be among them. Yay!
So it's only right that Chuck followed up the big news with an episode that featured some of the best action sequences since the pilot, an intriguing love triangle, and, of course, the return of Bryce Larkin.
So I'm sitting there watching
Chuck, and everything seems pretty normal: There's a spy case. Chuck bumbles through a date. Casey says something funny.
