Chuck: Chuck vs. The First Bank of Evil

Because banks really are evil.

 Sarah really doesn’t seem like the girly girl type and she had some trouble dealing with all of the wedding planning in this episode of chuck. What would have been great is if the whole process of planning the wedding was bent to match who she is but instead she had an epiphany about it and became all frilly by episode’s end. That may be a spoiler but it was just lame. The whole Morgan moving out story seemed mishandled too. He moved out with Chuck in order to grow up yet he’s looking for another roommate to move in with. It seems like he just didn’t want to live with Chuck anymore rather than the whole Stand by Me thing that happened in the previous episode. Sure he doesn’t want to be the third wheel but even that feels like an excuse more than a real character moment now. This episode had a few really funny moments but a lot of it just felt poorly executed.

this episode hardly deserves the "C " grade you gave it.  There was so much more in this episode that went on besides the marriage subplot that should've been covered.  I don't know why there's a paragraph's worth of review for this and other shows and yet Smallville gets blasted into orbit YET AGAIN.  There was the right amount of Jeffster in this episode, although I do feel as though they just shoehorn them in just because they need a bridge to get to the next plot point.  It will be interesting to see what Casey has been overseeing and knowing Chuck they tend to answer the questions rather quickly as opposed to leaving us hang.  Plus the usage of Dr. Pierre Chang and Ray Wise brilliant! Especially Ray Wise luring Vivian to her true destiny as a Volkoff. I personally can't wait to see what transpires with that and if the title "Chuck Vs. The Family Volkoff" we're in for a treat.

This show seems to only have 13 episodes per season so seeing it run on like this is a little sad.  I agree that this was about as filler as it gets and when the show is one like this, that can really hurt it.  I'm not really worried about the series because it has a loyal following but episodes like this one do nothing to help it at all.  Maybe they should just go with a 13 episode season, pack it all in and hit hard!  I'll be back next week though and that's what matters!
