*Tribute* Chuck versus The Countdown- "All the faves here."

*NOTE: This article was written sometimes before January 27th, the final day for Chuck broadcast (two hours finale), apparently I still have no idea that this one even exists in piles of scrapped idea... But the article still works-- fifty nine days after the final run of Chuck, and I feel this great urge to put them available in tribute to this great show which inspires me to blogged.*


With the final EPIC finale of Chuck coming within less than twelve hours... I think it's suitable to finally reveal a guest of surprise for the final entry of Chuck Versus The Countdown-- and here's the winner, the finale entry of this series of articles will be ALL about fave episodes from such an amazing five years of journey with Chuck! (Which I must added, has been a game changer for all of us).

So... without any further due, this article will be somewhat selecting five favourite episode from all these very eighty nine awesome episodes...  and to make it a little fun along with this, I will also contend the list of the honorable mentions... So, get ready... as we introduce the fifth winner for the all the faves episode out there!

5. Chuck versus The Santa

Of course! How could one forget such a brilliant episode, that one that actually involves ALL the characters in one amazing plot! Reflecting how Chuck always find itself plentiful with ideas... and of course, remind us how awesome one bracelet, a robbery, conspiracy, Big Mike's cousin can all be mixed up... and gave such an amazing product of innovative, laughs & reminds us how awesome could holiday episode be!

4. Chuck versus Phase Three

Another inspiring episode that eventually inspires the renowned "Emmy 4 Yvonne" movement! And personally, will always be Yvonne Strahovski's finest hour! As Sarah Walker takes it personal in order to bring Chuck safe... mysteries about wedding begin to worn out (thanks to Morgan)... and together Yvonne delivers one of the most emotional & excellent performance I've on screen. As tear (I mean, real tears) fall from behind, I wouldn't be surprised if one day she will get an Emmy! Long live Giant Blonde She Male!

3. Chuck versus Bo

Well... you'll probably seen someone who stars themselves before in the show... (I mean we got Stan lee back in Santa Suit), but THIS! Well... this is one of those episodes where I really love, it's not just cameo role. But the producers took the use of Bo Derek, and turn her into the plot device herself! Such a strong and hilarious performance from both the casts & Ms. Derek herself! Even though the ending would have lead us to such an unexpected point...

2. Chuck versus The First Date

Well, the first premiere episode is always a quite like a mini-pilot... setting up what the rest of the seasons is gonna looked like. And in this case, the producers had did quite a good job on the first impression of Chuck already! The episode proves to be a brilliant in both writing, acting & directing. As the plot gets tense with actions, but integrates well with probably, uh: such a romantic moments for Chuck & Sarah! The episode marks the first driving force to me... and it always kills me when i watched the scene when they looked over each other in their "First Date"!

And the winner is...

CHUCK VERSUS THE COLONEL!

HOW CAN ONE FORGET THIS!!! (I really mean it, dear readers) It's already quite exciting itself just to talked about this episode! The best, blasted opening for one episode, the episode that's just so passionate, full of actions, love... and the one that truly reach me through Nerdvana! The one & all, superbly written, superbly directing & superbly acting... I will have no doubt if people will always be stunning when they watched this episode in years to come!

And that... was pretty much the five favorite episodes for me... If there's one thing I shall be doing after January 27th 8/7C, it's gonna be rewatching & reliving all these moments altogether again! However, it must be noted, that all Chuck episodes are all but amazing-- and here's some of the honorable mentions who nearly make it (and still I will always enjoy the moment for years to come)!

Honorable mentions (still equally fun, so you should take a look at them anyway. :P)

1. Chuck versus Pilot- How can we even forget this!?! The best pilot I have seen in the world, brilliant execution!
2. Chuck versus The Delorean- As much as I hated how Morgan spent on such a crap Delorean, the episode was brilliantly fun to see Mr. Lichtenstein & Cop Face strikes back
3. Chuck versus Other Guy- Damn... what could be better than the demise of our favorite hated character for the year! And "shut & kiss me" will always relive in me!
4. Chuck versus Tom Sawyer- The one that really touches to all Nerd hearts, and brilliantly connecting the pop-cultural references!
5. Chuck Versus The Anniversary- Who could have though, it was decent, full of loved... and Linda Hamilton just rocks the ending!

And that was... "All the faves", last entry for Chuck Versus Countdown, and probably gonna be penultimate entry before the review of finale tomorrow! Thanks for tuning in, it has been brilliant five years of Chuck, that show changed everything I had ever know, make me met many reliable comrades, taught me to embrace my inner nerd... or was it always stay in the car? Which reminds me to begged you all, dear reader: for those in US or those whose available, be sure to tune in for the finale of Chuck! And it airs back to back!!! How could you miss that? Have fun with the finale... my last advice for that could be:

"Just sit back... and enjoy the ride"... :)

Ps... before I leave, just wanna present you with one final video, compliments of Matt Barber- directors of Chuck! Happy to say the bloopers for this season is finally out!
