Loaded Couch Potatoes

New site author write review latest episode favorite show, Chuck.  Sloth love spoiler.

Hey you guys, Sloth have review tonight episode Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Dream Job.”  Reader ever notice episode title of Chuck always “Chuck Versus Something”?  Sloth wonder if show writers notice.  Remind Sloth of Friends, which always had “The One Where” in title.  Maybe NBC thing.

Sloth enjoy “Chuck Versus the Dream Job.”  Sloth love Chuck, but Chuck occasionally guilty of being boring on subject Chuck/Sarah relationship.  Is that hard have affair behind back of government?  Sloth suppose President Clinton proof, but Chuck TV show; no one care if realistic.  Chuck and Sarah ought just do it and let General Beckman be jealous, like pervy old battle axe.  Sigh.

Sloth happy this week episode not dwell on that storyline.  Instead, show writers give Chuck emotional investment in someone not name Sarah.  (Chuck sometime show concern for sister Ellie, but Ellie play by actress name Sarah.  Sloth confuse!)

Sloth happy report that new episode Chuck revolve almost entirely around Chuck father!  As reader might remember from previous episode, Sarah find Chuck father as final act of pettiness when fired by government.  (Sarah later rehired with no evident penalty for misuse government database locate Chuck father.)  Episode end with Chuck and Sarah find Papa Bartowski, only camera cut away without show him!  Sloth frustrate!

Sloth feel better this week.  Papa Bartowski play by Scott Bakula, fine actor reader might remember from Quantum Leap and Enterprise and Star Trek: Enterprise and BEST OF ALL Major League 3!  Sloth love Scott Bakula!  Bakula bring gravity to Chuck; Chuck rarely have any gravity, but Bakula good at finding small emotional moment for character to live in, and have good chemistry with Zachary Levi.  Producers do good job in hiring.  Sloth disappoint a little it so painful obvious Papa Bartowski actually Orion.  Who not see that coming?  Chuck not specialize in plot twist.

“Chuck Versus Dream Job” also feature guest apperance by Chevy Chase, who last good role twenty year ago in National Lampoon Christmas Vacation.  Sloth love Christmas Vacation!  Sloth surprise by how good Chevy look, also surprise by how little comedy Chuck show writers find Chevy to act.  Chevy better than Sloth expect at meance.

Chevy play Roark, computer magnate who steal all Papa Bartowski good ideas when they partners in olden time.  Chuck assign by General Beckman to get job at Roark company, infiltrate and stop software launch.  Things not go as plan.  Chuck discover father actually Orion, then Orion get taken by Fulcrum as trade for Chuck being allowed live.

Little happen by Buy More this episode.  Jeff and Lester attend Roark expo, Morgan spill beans to Orion about Chuck new job.  That about all.  Sloth love Buy More, vaguely disappoint show not integrate better into plot this episode.

On other show front, Ellie and Devon on shaky ground following Devon infidelity at bachelor party.  Devon do nothing wrong!  Sloth frustrate!  Sloth angry!  Lucky for Ellie she so pretty.  Otherwise, Sloth want to hurt.  Ellie look like she might taste like saltier, less chocolaty Baby Ruth, so Sloth forgive all transgression and misunderstanding.  Devon simply have to ride out problem.  Sloth feel sure be resolve by season finale.

Sloth almost forget!  Ellie remind Papa Bartowski of how he abandon family by promising cook pancake for dinner but leaving family first.  Bakula say “Oh, boy.”  Haaaaahhhhh haha haaaaaahhhhhh!  Sloth love Quantum Leap reference.  If only Bakula say something like “Have faith of heart, Ellie, nothing gonna bend or break you,” Sloth die laughter.

Sloth new to blogosphere.  Never talk about Chuck before.  Sloth now mention how much love main title sequence and music.  Sloth think very catchy.  Design spare yet functional, hip yet square.  Sloth love juxtaposition of disparate element.

Sloth not like how nobody ever notice when Chuck flash on object.  His eye roll back in head like he hold in o, but nobody notice.  Sloth call bullshit.

Sloth enjoy episode.  Sloth love Chuck, look forward next week.
