Just like Beckman had said, I always admire the decision of the producer to go back to the roots, back to where it was... but still trying to take it to the next level. After a spectacular come back with Chuck versus The Hack Off, the story just gets darker & more grittier as we follows Carmichael Industries on their quest for cleaning out their names& of course... finding who's behind such a nasty conspiracy that's been plaguing them since the premiere.
The look of a lifetime...
As of over all now, I am quite happy with how the producers are leading us to this point. As you know for all past six episodes of the season, it has been quite a blast! From a friend corrupt by the computer to pantsing him & saving him from his death... Yup, that was awesome!
And right now, as the story just gets more complex as we get closer to the conspiracy... I have always love how the producers been doing this for five years, how they reveal each piece of information's... and tying together forms a series of quest to the final purpose (which always has been an awesome final confrontation) for all these five years. From taking down a rogue agent organization, taking more mysterious organization to redeeming a work-renowned arms dealer! I have love how each episodes had form the dots together, leading us to many possibility, and sometimes surprise us with all the amazing twists! Yes, this is where the search for the truth just gets even better!
Chuck versus The Curse just kicks off this week with one single question... repeatedly ask throughout the episode, "Is the Bartowski Curse really exists?"... as you know, Chuck Bartowski we all know is a man who always stands up for the ones he cared... dearly I must added. The episode plays with this question by introducing a series of chain events, making Chuck raising a doubt whether he was going to transform into his father or not. It was such a great idea, and I believe the producers had once again demonstrate what they're capable with.
The episode kicks off quite... Chucktastic, after the recaps & what seems to finally settle itself once again as the team would prepare for their next adventure. Beckman intervenes, although this time a bit more hostile than last time she was saw on screen! It was quite a strong surprise, because the audience, like Chuck did- were pointing to Beckman as their last refuge for assistance in times like this. And as we thought... where the heck is "Beckman is all of this?", POPS! She comes out from nowhere, declaring the team to be traitor, much to amaze of we, audience- Casey points out that she was secretly trying to help them and woops! Things just gets a bit hotter than ever! Personally, I thought that was the best opening for the episode, they've been chased before. But this is a hunt we're talking about, way to Schwedak!
Another point I wish to point out is Chuck & Sarah marriage, as you know last week was truly a golden moments for Chuck & Sarah as they get together & take down all the bad guys... But nope, this episode dealt with something entirely different! Last week was a clear, open threat- something which happens to be the field of expertise for these two amazing spy couples. But this episode puts them in a very different & complex scenario . It's not just stripping and taking down some strange cultist.
This is what we've been seeing for years, and finally they have been put into an ultimate use. Finally, the producer has given us an episode which are dark, gritty & puts them in a very complicate situation. It wasn't dull, neither nor predictable (unless you read the spoiler that is...) It was something we've been seeing for years, a shadow threats of a group either plans to operate without the meddling eyes of Team Bartowski, or a rogue splinter organization jealous of government having a super computer in his head. The producer gave us the feeling that what we've- Team Bartowski been dealing with wasn't just a group of some bad guys. It was a whole new broad perspective, the producer puts Chuck & Sarah right in front of such a new, complex, and corruptible force. I love the idea of a threat that wasn't really open to the eyes, a threat that really comes from the top, a threat that was a product of a conspiracy within the government itself, and finally a threat neither we, audience or Team Bartowski could see... The episode is somewhat what I've been waiting for. The scenario that puts Chuck & Sarah in a constant feeling of doubts & fear, and not just only Charah but the best like Casey & Beckman... And as the story goes by, we were all thrilled of the result of how it would sort itself out amongst those mess!
I also love how the episode wasn't fast paced, since it deals with doubts I love how the producers lets the story flows naturally... As if the producers were merely giving them a scenario & what we've watch next is a chain reactions of choices & decisions. From remaining on the lam at Chuck's father cabin to the-not-so-much-bargain to save Ellie & Awesome. It was truly enjoyable episode where time has no mean of intervention. For me, let's put it this way: it was a forty three minutes that doesn't look like forty three minutes! It was quite fulfill, despite us eager to wait for more next week...

The hunt... of the family!
But of course, it wouldn't have been a Chuck episode without all the amazing supporting characters who together helps form a single, enjoyable... and like Captain Awesome always remarked: awesome, episode! This episode marks for a golden comeback to the screen of the Woodcombs, because after all I honestly thought the characters role in Chuck's story was getting limited to merely comic relief, after it seems to be a more & more rare chance to see Awesome & Ellie characters together. It was nice to see them not just sitting at home talking to Clara, it wasn't that I didn't Clara, but that those two characters are so nice... and awesome than just have them rot in a living room. This episode has been really kinda bringing the feeling of season one once again, of the life of Chuck, Sarah and also the not-yet-Woodcombs then. And yes, like Chuck had once remarked: "they're like communication all-stars", it was truly a great pleasure to have them back not just the two ordinary family members. But putting them into a field & let them enjoy the night as a communication all stars, like what they're used to be. And yes, putting them into actions... the spy just really runs in the blood of the Bartowski's!
“Morgan’s going to be desperate to try to get Alex back, but it’s not an easy thing,” says series cocreator Chris Fedak. After all, “He broke up [with her] on a text [message]. He turned into a douche.”- Joshua Schwartz
Like Josh Schwartz had remarked- the second point was the romance of our bearded friend, Morgan Grimes... and Casey's protective daughter, Alex McHugh. It was all Morgan trying to win the heart of Alex back, after what was... the frosted tips affair! And to be honest, we just can't blame Alex, Morgan was really a douche back then. And even though as thing was just trying to go back in the same place, what it was heartbreaking was Morgan & Alex did not in this case. Which presents quite a cliffhanger during the episode in Business Trip on whether that just mark an end of a love affair for our bearded or not... However, this week's episode had given them a chance-- for them which had given Morgan a second chance to fix all the frosted tips mess from a couple episodes ago. And yes, even I also really hope there would a good kiss in the end, but even though there wasn't one. But we call all see right in both of their eyes, the same way Chuck and Sarah look, the same way Casey & Verbanski look... you could say that was a look of a lifetime for them. And I am quite happy, and of course also impressed that they were given Morgan & Alex a second chance for them to fall in love once again, and to be honest as we see them throughout the episode and how they react... you just know the love's still there for them, whether is how Alex comes up with a (less dangerous) plan to the final scene where Morgan entrust Alex with his "P.A.N.T.S". That, just answers everything...
My final point is on the guest star this week, Rebecca Romijn- aka. Mystique in X-Men film series, or Alexis Meade from ugly Betty. I had to say, despite her beyotch performance present in the episode- that she was worth every cent the network had to paid. Even though we're all awaiting for you-know-who next week rather than just a villain this episode, it works out. She proves to be another competent and excellent choice on the guest star! She is presents as a ruthless * cunning operative who- saw torture as a artform along with what she calls... a "toy". Her performance should not be underestimate as she creates another personality of a cruel underling who has a now idea on her superior. Well done, Rebecca!
And yup, to the end of this review, even though some may have thought it may have gotten dark or more gritty than ever as the producers puts them in a fear & doubts episode. In the end... it was a brilliant combination of doubts, actions, romance & pure awesome sauce. I'll leave you with the ending... because action just speaks louder than words. Enjoy!
And in the end, like Beckman had remarked: "It was a bit like old times... wasn't it?"...
