Review of 3.15- Chuck versus the Role Models by me

I must begin by saying that I was a bit disappointed with this week's episode. I thought there would be much more excitement and fun. The "Role Model couple" were cool, but they didn't lead our favourite spy-couple to that much action, though it was quite nice to see some "normal" discussions between Chuck and Sarah. In the majority of the previous episodes, though, the discussions have been evened out, and combined with having to follow such an excellent episode as the Honeymooners, the expectations must obviously have been to high. There was definitely a lot of funny and cool moments, but I noticed that they were mostly caused by Morgan, which is not that odd, but Chuck has always been the biggest contributor, hence the show's name CHUCK. That is a bit worrying and made me think that they may be "closing" things down now and in a way ending the show. Many of the viewers must have agree with me in some of this, since the ratings dropped from a more reassuring 2.1 to a very much worrisome 1.9. I will of course NOT give up my hope of a fourth season, and I still feel very confident about the matter.

Some of the AWESOME moments from this episode:

- To start at the beginning; the intro was really fun, funny and cool.
- All the moments with Morgan's spy training and Casey's respons, or lack of said response, were great.
- The being locked-in-the-room-with-the-tiger Sasha moments were great!

- The ending with Justin turning out to be working with the Ring was exciting (and I'm really looking forward to next week's episode.)
- Of course Sarah and Chuck moving in was really satisfying, as I am a died-hard fan of the Bartowski's!

Some of the not so awesome moments from this episode:
- The filming of the Ellie talking to Justin in the woods was really horrible.
- Missed some more action and fight sequence.... :(
- No Jeff and Lester in this episode.

To end with a semi-quoting Ellie in Chuck versus the truth: "If everything is awesome, than awesome by definition is just mediocre". Meaning that if everyone of the episode's were equally as awesome, than awesome by definition wouldn't be more than mediocre.

Really can't wait to next week's episode. It's looking quite dramatic and potentially heart aching, if not definitely nail biting.
