Some of the best scenes to me in this episode were the ones between Casey and Morgan. We don’t usually get to see these two interact together all that much, and I found the combo of Casey’s big, brawny tough-guy to Morgan’s little, scrawny weakling absolutely hilarious. Morgan asks Casey to help him with the subordinates in the store that are making his life hell – in other words “insurgents”. Casey’s methods are nothing less than over the top, and completely expected from a former Marine and current spy.
I also really liked seeing Chuck out on a mission on his own. His character is growing but I like that underneath it all we still get the same old Chuck. He doesn’t like guns so he brings nunchucks, and then is disappointed when he never gets to use them. He’s been trained to handle dangerous situations and yet still manages to get himself into all kinds of trouble, calling on both Casey and Sarah to get him out of it. He may be a trained spy but he’s still the bumbling geek we all love.
The other part of the episode I liked was Chuck meeting a lovely new stranger on the plane, Hannah (played by Kristin Kreuk from Smallville). I have to admit that I totally suspected her of being a spy at first so it was a nice surprise to find out that she was just who she said she was. Perhaps I’ll be proven wrong in future episodes, but for now I’m eager to see where this bit of storyline goes.
Overall another fun episode that let Chuck stretch his legs as a spy and introduced us to an intriguing new character.
More Chuck…

Yay, a Chuck review! I didn’t know you watched Chuck! :o) Don’t you think the show’s been great so far this season?
Morgan going to Casey for help actually reminded me of a movie that Adam Baldwin did in the 80s called ‘My Bodyguard’. It made my LOL when I thought of the slightly similar scenarios…
Overall a great episode and I hope that the ‘Law of Guest Stars’ doesn’t come into play to make Kristin Kreuk a bad guy.

I loved ‘My Bodyguard’! I saw it when I was a kid and it was the first movie I ever saw with Adam in it.
Yeah I really hope they turn Kristin into a bad guy or a spy, etc. That would just be too predictable and I think it’d be nice to see Chuck have to interact with a “normal” girl.
