http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/16/CHUCK----Chuck-Vs.-The-Wookie.aspx This week the team has to help a DEA agent steal a priceless diamond from an Afghani opium cartel. The new kid, red headed vixen Katrina, has a past with Agent Casey and knows about Sarah’s past with Chuck’s nemesis Bryce. She takes the time to insinuate herself into Sarah and Chuck’s “cover” and go on a date with Morgan, Chuck’s geeky best friend. Her presence throws Sarah and Chuck’s fragile, budding, unspoken romance into question and the episode as a whole is starting to make this initial fan of the show reconsider. Maybe that’s because there was so little of Captain Awesome in this episode. It all starts with a board game that shows that as much as Chuck and Sarah make googly eyes at each other, they really don’t know anything real about each other. Chuck picks up on Sarah not liking olives on her pizza and we do learn that Morgan’s worst nickname was “Organ,” but other wise, nada. Once Sarah puts off Chuck’s clumsy attempt to gauge their real romance, Katrina shows up in full ninja stealth gear and she and Sarah have a quick foxy-boxing match to break up some lamps and have Sarah’s nightie flop upwards. So far, I’m fine. This is sort of what one is looking for from this show. 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/2007/10/16/CHUCK----Chuck-Vs.-The-Wookie.aspx 77 60
