http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/12/04/CHUCK----Chuck-Vs.-The-Crown-Vic.aspx This week the writers get their due. As the strike looms large for the coming year, tonight on CHUCK we got a glimpse of what we will be missing. Would a scab writer think to start a Christmas episode with Nelly’s “Pimp Juice” as the soundtrack? The replacement shows, like AMERICAN GLADIATORS will have witty dialogue like, “Arrg!” instead of Morgan proclaiming giant prawns to be as big as “Baby kittens!” Will CLASH OF THE CHOIRS have a decent mid-season story arc close that satisfies the romance questions and excites danger for the coming episodes? No. Tonight’s CHUCK certainly did though, and unfortunately it is such a young show it may not survive the strike. So pay the writers! This whole “new media” trend is going nowhere anyway. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/12/04/CHUCK----Chuck-Vs.-The-Crown-Vic.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/12/04/CHUCK----Chuck-Vs.-The-Crown-Vic.aspx#2895 This episode appeared to have inconsistencies, the scene with Chuck and Sarah arguing appeared to be edited to have Sarah say the Kiss was a mistake and one she would never make again. It seemed out of Character to say since she really doesn't talk about her feelings. And what made the scene awkward is that in the very next scene, Sarah's one-on-one with Casey after being benched, Sarah says to Casey, she needs to talk to Chuck and try to fix the relationship or ask for reassignment. The scenes don't flow and felt strange. Overall, this is one of the most inconsistent Chuck episodes written to date. Personally, I've like to know if scene was edited later, because it probably would have flowed better without Sarah saying anything about a mistake and just walk out without saying a word. Her conversation with Casey in the next scene would make more sense. I think this episode in not one the best written so far.
