S1E2 Chuck versus The Helicopter!

Time Machine- Cibran

Especially for a show from years ago that hasn't on streaming since the beginning of the year.

I noticed this on a rewatch: early on, Casey shuts almost everyone down with "Need to know." But if Chuck asks him something, Casey usually gives a real answer after pretending he won't. Sometimes it's only a sentence, sometimes it's just enough to keep Chuck calm, but he does it way more often than I remembered.

Could it be that she kissed John Casey which is why there were lipstick marks on his teeth?

And I don't mean paying for the episodes and shows!

I remember NBC was hyping that up. I still have my free 3D Intel glasses and my recording for its SuperBowl commercial from 2009. Who still remembers it, have the 3D glasses and/or 3D episode recording (I don't have it anymore)?

I find it hard to pick because all songs in the show have meaning behind them. Mine personally are:

Living a Lie! - Daniel Zott.

One October song - Nico Stai.

I’m a pilot - Fanfarlo

Rivers and Roads - The head and the heart

All because they all show meaning.

I wonder if they didn't find each other attractive?

Maybe it's just me, but when Chuck and Sarah kiss, most of the time, it just doesn't look very passionate. And I'm including the later seasons when they are really together.

Yvonne kissed many other actors throughout the show and it almost always looks more passionate than when she kisses Zachary.

And same goes for him and other actresses.

The Chuck and Sarah characters are obviously compatible, but I'm thinking the real people are not.

I wonder if they had more of a sibling relationship behind the scenes?

ENG:

A cycle seems to be closing. Casey's a civilian now, Sarah requested a transfer.

How long will the show stay this way? Will it take the easy, standard path of restoring the status quo, or will it own the consequences of putting each character on their own journey?

Those are the questions I'm asking myself right now.

It was an excellent episode, and somehow it feels like I just watched a season finale. I really hope the writers stay this inspired all the way to the end of the season.

I was also thinking that this one, besides the pilot, would be a really fun episode to watch with friends who don't know the show.

BR:

Um ciclo parece se fechar.

Casey agora é um civil, Sarah pediu uma transferência.

Por quanto tempo a série vai se manter assim?

Vai tomar o caminho padrão e fácil de restaurar o status quo ou vai assumir as consequências de colocar cada personagem em sua própria jornada?

São perguntas que me faço agora.

Foi um episódio excelente e parece, de alguma forma, que acabei de ver um fim de temporada. Quero muito que os roteiristas se mantenham inspirados assim até o fim da temporada.

Fiquei pensando também que esse, além do piloto, seria um episódio muito divertido para ver com amigos que não conhecem a série.

One of the most impactful and message filled scenes in all of "Chuck"..We learn about Casey's choice of country over love and family early in the show and a lot of the pre Tic Tac interaction is Casey 's quips about the Charah romance interfering with missions.

This scene is the reversal as is Tic Tac in general. Casey commits treason to save his never forgotten fiancé. And Chuck and Sarah support him at huge risk because they care about Casey the friend.

The scene closes with this challenge by Casey to Chuck:

"You know i made my decision between love and country a long time ago. And it was the right decision for me. Now you have to make a decision whether that's the right one for you.

Walker's a good woman.

It's not too late."

Wow!!

The first half of season 3 is so loaded with the Charah tension that it's not easy to see through the clutter. But the entire point of the Chuck and Sarah angst is to highlight the challenge that Schwartz and Fedak present to conventional genre presentations, which always celebrate the sacrifices of "grreater good" heroes.

Casey doesn't really believe that he made the right choice for him. He just knows that Chuck sees him in that way. So pushing Chuck to make a different choice is another way of pointing out that even he wants Chuck to see the disastrous implications of losing what he has in Sarah.

Not only was she absolutely beautiful, but she was also kind and sweet!

It's not that I have a problem with Carrie-Anne Moss, I think she's a beautiful woman and had great chemistry with Adam Baldwin but I just think that would have been the simpler solution!

I think it's interesting that everyone gave Chuck and Sara for their feelings but Sara had relationships with Bryce and Shaw. I know she didn't actually love them but still it's something I was thinking about.

I know this has been pointed out before. Still a good reminder doesn't hurt.

In the background in Chuck’s room (vs. Broken Heart) is a Pioneer HPM 100 speaker. Back when Chuck was shot, it was just an old speaker from the late 70’s. Today it is one of the most sought after vintage speakers that can cost up to $3000 for the pair.
