Chuck versus Bo review- "Never say one last mission."

"Never say one last mission"

Like Chuck, Morgan & Casey has said that unanimously, one of those rare moments when three of them actually agree on something- ultimately, proof to be real. After last week's episode featuring Carrie-Anne Moss in Chuck versus The Kept Man... even though the episode wasn't really strong as I would have thought- but this week's episode. The episode has proof to be an excellent redeeming ground for Chuck again. As I would wanna put it this way: "All the good old days, reborn once again- in the form of Chuck versus Bo!"

For the record to be honest, I hardly know the name of Bo Derek until her name pops out as a guest star for this episode! And as a preliminary measure, because somehow: she must have been a cult figure, it is important for me to learn about her as much as I can. As a result, dear readers, I decide to scroll down for some of the clips of her on YouTube, coupled with reading her article in Wikipedia & clicking some of those source in the 'source' heading. All of them which would have contribute to my deduction that why it is the right thing for the producers to chose her for the role! For some of you who hardly knows her ad I am, Bo Derek is obviously a star... But here's something interesting about her: she was regarded somehow as a... "sex symbol after her role in the late seventies hit comedy: "10"... After those quick, preliminary studies, I can easily understand why the producers chose her for the job! If you want a seducer, plenty of stars could fits one of those roles... but IF you want the episode to be kinda like a cult legend: you gotta go deeper, and that's where I completely understand why Bo Derek name must have sticked into the producers head! So in order to create something big, you need something big... and as you know: Chuck always gives you one of the best nerd reference one show can give you! And actually use those references to actually construct an interesting & self immerse story! Chuck was that kind of a show, and I'm happy Bo Derek happen to be part of it, despite the sad fact I never get to watched '10'. But her performance has been interesting, the producers chose her to be am excellent setting to set up the test of the plot, how they used her to connect all the leftover stories about 'Morgan's physical... rainbow'! She proves to be good when communicating with the viewers, for to be honest: most would have feel awkward (like me), when confronted with such stars & you have no idea who the heck that person involves with... But luckily... action proves to speak louder than words: her performance soon allows every viewer to understand what her position is! And yes, she is a really a nice guest star like when Stan Lee guess star the episode in Chuck versus the Santa Suit! It was similar, you don't need to know who that person is, that person instead connects you! So way to go, Miss Bo Derek!

And of course, dear readers: this episode has been to be honest, what I would like to call: a perfect combination of Charah's relationship & their future, Casey & Morgan's place after the 'one last mission', and inevitably: what Sarah has in mind for the future of Carmichael Industries itself! So, this week's episode has been dealt with two major issues, moving on, and in the end: finish up the past. It was quite a stunning revelation... the one so early, but excite & filled with (a little) doubt when Sarah declared in the morning: "I wanna quit spying", and how she has a plan in mind for the future, for themselves... and for everyone- but one, John Casey! And things get even tense when the episode brought in another surprise: "Frosted Tips Affair pasts", and not only in terms of spy life, but in the end- that VERY life of Morgan Grimes himself! When Morgan is struggling to face past that his beloved Alex may have uh... "physical rainbow" with someone's else. Which makes the episode... instead of what it should have been two continuing plot- makes it three! Fitting Morgan Grimes stories & squeezing them right into that story of 'Frosted Tips past'! I do, originally envision the episode of being Morgan's one, after we apparently have the episode of Sarah in the eighth run & Casey's in the ninth run of the season, the tenth must be about Morgan. Much to my thought, the producers had entirely redefined the whole episode into something new. And to be honest, I like that, making the episode not only Morgan Grimes episode, but TAKING it to the next level! I mean, who would have thought the third plot (even little) would have played & blended together in the episode! As the search for BD have led Team Bartowski to the infamous Bo Derek! It became apparent that she was indeed: with an accomplice. A certain Nicholas Quinn, who later revealed within the words of Bo Derek (O_O) through Chuck & Morgan: a certain man who operates a spy agency... and some of his client- happens to be all those life-long-hatred nemesis to Chuck! Which establishes the fact than Quinn agency have been involve & meddling with all those 'Chuck's friend'... who have developed an grudgingly hatred towards our nerd hero! And another point I wanna praise was the use of flashbacks again! It was the right move, and definitely a right choice to do: because one of the things I have always fallen with Chuck was how they technically stick to the philosophy of "action speaks louder than words". One that evolves to become a flashback, which ultimately happens to benefit because, through acting- it was undoubtedly better to relay informations... especially of those does happens to involve Morgan Grimes... and Bo Derek!

Which brought us to the point of our final villain of the season... and sadly: the whole series, a certain Nicholas Quinn whose actor role was somehow from Braveheart! Although his appearance was already a bit late when he shows up. He quickly established quite a good impression for me (and hopefully you). A man of greed whose greed happens to be he supercomputer which fills with amazing abilities & government secrets... Yes, you came the right way: this Quinn was looking for the Intersect... the ones Chuck have possessed for four years. His character was not really implicate to understand, the man has a motivate right in front of us: he wants the Intersect! But this is the part I love... it's about the acting that matter, the character of Quinn, he was broken, greed, and most important of all: intimidating! The man managed to project that personality of a hideous villain, who will use any means necessary to achieve one thing. And Quinn happens to be one of those person, with his intimidated personality... I'm quite confident he will be one heck of a villain to take down in the end! Like Chevy Chase in season two, or the wooden one like... Brandon Routh in season there, up to Timothy Dalton in fourth season, I'm happy that Nicholas Quinn happens to have that personality himself... So, Quinn wherever you are: you're going to be one heck of a villain to take down I guess!

Which brings me to the final part of this review, the role of Jeffsters for all of this... some may have dismissed their role as being 'childlish'... or both of them may have pass their prime year of being the series comic relief themselves. But for me, they're still those two that makes me laugh, those two that can surely make me wept out in sadness of we were ever to lose both of them. And this week, I appreciate the producers of integrating them into more active role & to have them participate in what could be- glimpse of Charah's spy world. Even though to be honest, I do initially have doubts about how they would performed. But the producers have managed to erase such though out of me! It was nice of dealing with 'irony situation', with each time they're following Chuck's lead and obtained a clue about them. Only in the end to realize, spy world isn't really such a nice place to join! The plot wasn't really bad at all, and even if there maybe some flaws... but what can I say? Enjoy all of them anyway, because after January 27th... I & you- we may have end up wept in sadness! Cherish all the funs & the good memories, and like Chuck said 'let the past be the past'! And remember this quote, because I do find it useful: making is realize there's always something for us to pursue, and never trust something is certain...

"Never say one last mission".
