Chuck Versus the Santa Claus

Admission of guilt: I accidentally missed the first 10 minutes of Chuck this evening because I thought it was about two hours earlier than it actually was. And, I was reading a cheesy romance novel. Anyway...

Casey got his toe blown off. Casey handled the situation with his typical aplomb: he growled. I swear, no other man has ever sounded so sexy when he curls his lip and growls. There are now three men on this show that I would sleep with-

1. Chuck
2. Casey
3. Awesome

(Depending on the episode, the order may change.)

Speaking of Awesome, when he had the opportunity to call his parents during the hostage crisis, he told them, "everything's awesome. Well, not really." Which was, naturally, awesome.

Chuck handled himself well in the hostage situation, and when he was allowed to make his one call to a loved one, he called Sarah, who was in the store with him. Then he proceeded to giver her his Christmas gift, which was the charm bracelet his mother received when Ellie was born. Let's say it all together: Awwww!

Course, the writers couldn't let us get too settled in the Chuck-and-Sarah-being-sweet moment, nor could they give us the mistletoe moment I so hoped for last week, but instead, had to blow the sentiment by showing Sarah ruthlessly killing the Fulcrum agent. Of course, Chuck saw the whole cold-blooded incident, but didn't hear the Fulcrum agent threaten Chuck, which was why she decided to off him in the first place. After a season and a half, I'm getting a little tired of these two never getting together.

Then again, it might get boring if they did. -sigh- And now we've got to wait until freakin' FEBRUARY 2nd until we can see the next new episode.

In other news, there were a couple of funny coincidences: the hostage-taker was named Ned, which is amusing, since on Pushing Daisies, the main characters names are Ned and Chuck. And one of the cops was the guy from Die Hard, you know, he's also the guy from Family Matters? At least, I think he was. Anyway, let's just go with that, okay?
