ORIGINAL EPISODES, MONDAYS @ 8PM ON NBCSurprisingly, I liked this episode despite its lackluster premise. The premise of tonight's episode found Chuck in the midst of Halloween. Unfortunately, he also discovered the presence of a rogue CIA technician who appeared to be extremely dangerous. All of Chuck's plans with Morgan and his sister got sidetracked as he pursued the technician. At first he appeared to be misunderstood as he explained he was taken at a young age by the CIA and lost his freedom to the wishes of the Agency. However, as Chuck later learned, he was seriously unstable and even attempted to blow up the Santa Monica pier as some sort of revenge for the how the CIA treated him. So, as I said the premise was basically lackluster.
Yet, I liked the episode. I believe it was the development of the Chuck-Sarah relationship and 
the Chuck-Morgan relationship. Chuck called Sarah out on her deceptive actions after he found out both she and Casey had each separately bugged his apartment. This really seemed to strike a nerve in Sarah and she started to realize that she cared about Chuck as more than just the person she was ordered to protect. I'm not saying she's fallen in love with him or anything but she certainly cares for him. As we learned about a spy, they never let any part of themselves come out or it may compromise their cover. Sarah, though, appears to be letting some things out and I don't think she's even realizing
it. For instance, tonight she felt bad about bugging his apartment by placing a doctored photo of them from ComicCon in his bedroom. So she came over dressed up in the same outfit from the photo and took an actual picture of them for Chuck. Clearly, she was showing that she cares for him and I think as time goes on she's not going to be able to hide her feelings for him. I can't wait to see how and when she admits her feelings because the two of them are great together.

The two of them were so thinking about them doing it and I loved the tension.
As for Chuck and Morgan we really saw how close they are. Morgan didn't have to but he stepped up for Chuck and gave a powerful speech when Chuck missed his interview to be 
Assistant Manager. Well, alright, not powerful but he meant well. I really enjoyed seeing Morgan all grown up and his scenes with Captain Awesome were hilarious. I guess it is true that there's a day that comes for every man when he finally becomes "a tucker." Chuck as "a tucker" was great and to be honest, I enjoyed his character a lot more when he wasn't so ridiculously outrageous but a bit more mature. He's definitely more tolerable when he's not so ridiculous.Everything seems to be going steady for "Chuck." The ratings aren't where we'd hope they would be but it seems "Chuck" could get a shot at a full season. The talk in many sites is that it has a better chance than "Journeyman." I guess we'll see after November Sweeps. Until next week, enjoy the review!
