Okay so every Chuck fan knows that these past two episodes have been hard to watch... Being a huge Chuck/Sarah shipper it was hard to watch these two characters go their separate ways.
Just a note: I liked this past episode. We saw character growth and some step backs, and maybe realization. I am not critiquing the episode or talking bad about it. This is just how I feel and I am not trying to persuade you to feel the same...
Just a few things that got to me:
1) The moment Chuck lays his eyes on a new brunette he is sold... once again. Dumping everything he had with Sarah, or could of had with Sarah. After Sarah showed all of this compassion for Chuck in the previous episodes. Seeing Hannah and Chuck swoon over each other made me kinda want to vomit. HA. With that said, maybe it was only me but, they're slow kisses and pecks seemed awkward and I hope that was done on purpose. I felt with Chuck, that Hannah was not the right girl for him.
2) Sarah and Shaw. As a viewer I don't see or feel the chemistry AT ALL. Using the excuse the he saved her life is total BS and I am not having that. OR using the excuse that he "defended her honor" by punching the assassin. Chuck has saved Sarah and they just threw it under the rug... SO if they are going to try to force this relationship, I need a little more...
3) The name reveal. In Chuck vs. The Wookie, which is a scene we all remember, where you see Sarah truly falling for Chuck by revealing her middle name Lisa. Now she couldn't say her middle name to Chuck but Shaw who has only been here for a few episodes gets to know it before Chuck, the guy she was willing to throw EVERYTHING away for, the man that she loves. I am a big time SW Fangirl and everyone knows that... I just don't see how that worked. I get that she is SO lost and confused with Chuck changing and everything but to tell Shaw of all people seems heartless and thoughtless... Maybe that is just me. (The fact that Yvonne is the one who chose Sam as SW's real name is seriously rad, makes me love the name even more).
4) Chuck and Hannah. Chuck goes for Hannah, and I like Hannah and her character but I hate Chuck right now. I hate that I don't like him. I hate that he sleeps with another character, therefore ruining the "love" he is suppose to have for Sarah. Honestly, I don't feel bad for Chuck... I felt bad for Hannah being played like that. Poor girl.
I will say this: I miss the Chuck and Sarah from the first part of the season. They agreed to be friends, but we have not seen them really talk or try to be friends... Maybe it is because Chuck is changing and Sarah can't deal with it. BUT I miss their conversations!
Ali Adler did a great job writing this episode. My heart broke for Sarah and it still hurts for her. Poor girl misses her old Chuck and everything he stood for. She is clinging onto what real life she can/would of had by revealing her name. The only problem I had with that was the she ran into the arms of Shaw. (Don't get me wrong I think Brandon Routh is way sexy but his acting is awful, same expression for each emotion) Maybe it is the he acts that makes us viewers hate him. If this guy was like Cole or Bryce I still would not of been okay with Sarah revealing her name to either of them. But that is just me being a shipper!
Another note: I get that Sarah really has no one else to talk to and she is not afraid "to go there" with Shaw because of that common ground, but she revealed her name so easily and so smoothly that it seemed so easy for her and she had all of these issues letting Chuck in and even letting him know her fake real name is Jenny Burton.
I did enjoy this past episode because we FINALLY got to see the jealousy from both Chuck and Sarah... Sarah giving that look when Casey "he must of gotten lucky". I missed that look! Then the realization to Chuck that he loves Sarah and that Hannah was not the girl for him. Finally realizing that he still loves Sarah (making Hannah's character pointless).
Here is me hoping that Sarah gives Shaw the boot in a not very nice way... The moment we saw in the preview "Sarah do you love me" part, I hope that is not a negative moment either. Maybe it's a slow moment, anything but a 'no' will be fine with me. All I need is a little romance. I also would love to see Chuck finally fighting to get Sarah back, she needs to see it and so do I! :D
As much as I haven't really liked where they are taking the characters, I know that it will all smooth out and everything will make sense again in Chuckverse... For now I am along for the ride and there always has to be pain before happiness, especially with Chuck and Sarah. They always have to make all the wrong decisions before making the right one. The payoff is what keeps me wanting next week to keep coming!
I am super stoked for 3.09! Chuck not being able to flash, and someone finding out! YAY! BRING IT ON!! (still hoping for a little Charah romance!)
So Chucksters enjoy what we have. I know that Ali Adler was not throwing it in our faces of us shippers, she was telling us to wait, we will all get what we want. The line "I get so tired of the will they won't they, just end it already" seems like a foreshadow for the line "Sarah, do you love me?" Maybe that is Chuck's way of ending it... Think about all the interviews, tweets and spoilers that have been released and know that we will all get what we want soon!!!
Can't wait til next week, maybe I will post again! :D
