'Chuck' Too Much, Too Fast
I love "Chuck." I'm really glad it got picked up for a full season. I will probably watch the show no matter what direction the writers take. But...
But the last two episodes have bugged me. I like plot developments, but did we really need to have Bryce come back from the dead, take Chuck hostage, make out with Sarah, get shot, turn himself into the FBI, get kidnapped, and turn himself into the FBI again - all in the same episode? Why not leave us guessing for a few weeks? That's part of the fun.
Also, that dinner scene? The one where everyone was sitting around the Thanksgiving table? I had a brief but scary moment when I felt like I was watching "What About Brian?"
Complaints aside, Chuck and Bryce speaking Klingon to each other was pretty much the best thing I've ever seen on TV. That's the stuff that makes this show work.
