What I'm Watching: Chuck

Chuck: Season 1, Episode 6 “Chuck Versus the Sandworm” (B+)

This show is not letting me down anymore. Zachary Levi has come into his own as the likeable and often heroic Chuck, and his interactions with both Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin are well worth tuning in for the hour. His massive geek-ness is well incorporated into each plotline, especially in this episode with a disillusioned government puppet who claims never to have seen a James Bond movie. I am also continually impressed with the development of Morgan’s character so that he does not become overly annoying or pointless. Bonus points for Halloween costumes appearing in a diegetic and non-intrusive way.
