What I'm Watching: Chuck

Chuck: Season 2, Episode 6 "Chuck Versus the Ex" (B+)

I wouldn't have imagined Jordana Brewster from "The Fast and the Furious" (they're making a fourth movie with the original cast, by the way) as Chuck's ex-girlfriend, but she's pretty great. I laughed for quite some time at Casey's disguise, complete with a fake hairdo, normally reserved for other cast members. It's often hard to tell who's good and who's bad on this show, and I'm still not quite sure about Jill. She is a fun character to have around though. What I enjoyed most about this episode was oddly enough the Buy More plotline, with new dictator assistant manager Emmett mandating a CPR course, taught by Captain Awesome, where all Morgan, Jeff, and Lester all plan to cheat off Chuck. I love that they forced Jeff to start choking to have Awesome explain how to do CPR, and of course also loved the encounter between Ellie, Awesome, and Morgan when he was holding her underwear.
