As like Sarah had trust in Chuck completely, I too do have faith in the producers- after such a great holiday episode last week & the cliffhanger which openly leaves us to the question regarding the matter of this 'baby'! And I am glad & happy to report you, this week's & last episode of the year that it has as a matter of fact: even exceed my personal expectation for the episode!
Well, I had to be honest... well, after the conspiracy was revealed, and 'taken care of'... I was wondering what else could have happen now, what will the show direction be!?! And just before the end of last week episode, I, along with you, dear readers was informed with a shocking revelations... "do you remember Hungary?"? And that was the moment that was quite shocking... I am informed of how the show will be next week, just not how will the show lead! And watching this week's episode, it's a perfect stunning personal episode for Sarah Walker! And of course, after watching the episode, it just complete... and fulfilled with Sarah's backstory- it's as if I don't need more of the past... but what to look forward next!
Of course, what I wanna make clear first was using Sarah as a plot device for the whole episode! Everything & every decision- it's all a part & a chronicle that links back to her... For me: the episode was such a great story of redemptions & settle the old score! Chuck got the chance last week when he had settle the old score with Daniel Shaw, and I'm quite happy that Sarah has got her chance to finally make it right this time! And not only the story do I like, but also how the episode was presented to we, audience using the flashbacks! Schwedak- whatever you're thinking, it works!
Flashbacks is one of the main point I wanna talk about, I had to say it was perfectly crafted this time! We've seem them before in many episodes... but never has it been used creatively this time! It serves not only as a supplement to the story of the episode, but also provides the backstory we've so yearning on Sarah Walker! Not to mention those flashbacks together forms such a plot which eventually connects not just the episode, but also marks the reference to some of the continuity! Such as bringing Tony Todd back, which is a wise choice for me! Considering that we haven't seen him for three years, and that he's as much as important to Sarah as he is a mentor to her- so I congratulate those choice they've made! The flashbacks was a perfect introduction (remember the Matrix Sarah?), or was it revealing the long lost piece of informations on Sarah's life after such a long wait... or was it creating the story that's only just a backstory- but something more, it was more than a simple backstory- it was emotional scenes that strikes all of our heart without even knowing it! Giving Sarah her long lost mom back couldn't been done any better!
Also was the romance & chemistry between Chuck & Sarah this week! I had to say the love between them seems to gets better & stronger every weeks passing! This week's episode kicks off with questions regarding Sarah's past, and how Chuck will deal of that. It was the episode which concerns the question of trust, because like what Sarah had said, it's the way she lives and it's the way she's been taught- not only her dad, but also CIA! So... as much as Chuck is legally her husband... there was this question of trust, and how it would go between them. I am also surprise, and happy of how the producers tin the episode which had been speculated to be a 'relationship-changer' between Chuck and Sarah relationship & turn them into another awesome & special episode yet for this very last season! Because we were all afraid that the baby may have significantly affect their relationship... But however, that turns out to be to produce so many awesome & heart-felt moments for Chuck & Sarah! It was not only about being spy & reclaiming the life they've been yearning... the episode is technically quite a fantastic way to see how Chuck & Sarah will eventually set out to built their life & overcome the obstacles as we've witnessed this week! It was trusting someone, and trusting them to make it right! So I would count that as quite a shocking twist, but a really nice twist: their love just never been this strong- especially when they dorsally have each other!
And #Chuck episode would have certainly turned into some awkward moments if there's not gonna be Morgan Grimes (aka. our bearded friend) in it! But however, his situation was different than his buddy... He's just technically gone through the breakup process between him & the ex-Colonel's daughter, Alex Mchugh! So it has been left as a cliffhanger since the third episode of the season when he had technically break up WITH A TEXT and started being a douche because of the life-ruining-Intersect-meltdown-phase! And as much as Charah, we're all eager to learn more on how will Morgan rebuilt their relationship once again! So, the opening for them wasn't, to be honest: strong as it should be... But I have to say the middle & the nearly very end of the episode was truly satisfied for me! And that partly does comes with the courtesy of the good 'ol the Woodcombs! With Ellie & Awesome joining the episode, it was the right choice to picked them for the episode (because you wouldn't wanna see Jeffster, really!). Since they have even been described by Chuck as 'communication all-stars', so it would have been appropriate for them to help Morgan & Alex all way through all of this! And bringing both of them to talk, it was the best thing to do! And yeah, it was absolutely fantastic moment yet not only just Morgan & Alex & also Ellie & Devon! Plus this time, they save the day! And Morgan & Alex relationship couldn't have been better, so does the kiss in the end! It was worth the moment we've been waiting for, and that is the benefit- of trusting that someone will turn up right!
My final points for the review this week is gonna be the guest star- which I must added, have contribute so much for the episode this week! Giving Sarah a purpose to protect... and to destroy at all cost! So, Kieran Ryker... I had to say he made quite a striking appearance! Tough guy, and like the late Langston Graham had described 'a wildcard'... I had to say his performance was excellent, probably another great guest star for the episode! Adding up themes of dangers & quite a strong villain, a man who would do anything by the cost to get the baby! His character & so does his personality just makes him an absolute villain from Sarah's past ready to strike her again! And if there is something I really like, it was the final fight between Sarah & Ryker- quite possibly the best fights I've seen of Sarah! You feel fear and the atmosphere around you as they fight! It was a priceless moment, not just a fight to disable, but a fight to end someone! Plus Cheryl Ladd, I just realize & so appreciate that the producers had cast her for the role of Sarah's mom! Because as much Yvonne is born for the role of Sarah Walker- it became even apparent & clear even in the flashbacks... this role as Sarah's mom was just for her! She creates that atmosphere of warmth, of all the happy moments... and even for that very glimpse- she had turned person like Sarah Walker into a soft person, into whom she really is! So congratulations for both of the guest stars for making such a great introduction in Chuck this week!
And in the end... with all of the elements combine together! I understand why the producers wants to keep this for the last episode of 2011! Because it makes you realize of every choice you have made, and every choice you'll make! So there you go, what an amazing episodes, the producers had turned this into truly greatest Sarah Walker episode! Thank you, all the Chuck casts, crews & the producers for these hard working five seasons, if there is something I wish you tell you now... it would have been:
"I trusting you completely..."
And of course, I am writing now as of thirty minutes in 2012! To those who have already cross the boundary of new year & those who awaits- I wish you the very best for this coming year, and of course, Viva La Nerdolution!
Happy New Year & new Chuck episodes!
