Chuck has always been one of my favorite television series but a few things happened during season 3 that interrupted my viewing so I got behind on the series. I’ve recently been using my Netflix subscription to watch the DVDs for the last half of season 3 I haven’t seen.
There’ve been grumblings that the show is going downhill, but from my perspective, here in season 3, the show is still going strong.
I spend most of my Netflix time watching instantly, but Chuck is one of those shows that isn’t available for instant viewing. I don’t watch that many movies, so the DVD portion of my subscription is underused anyway.
I’m excited to finally be catching up on Chuck. I’m on season 3 disk 4. I know when I have the funds I’ll buy the Chuck Season 3 DVDs for my collection but why wait to watch when I have the opportunity to catch up now?
Chuck Versus the Other Guy
I just want to say… I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I can’t say I was sad to see the outcome that this episode delivered because it was exciting and twisty and just plain good. I do admit to feeling bittersweet about the entire thing. This was a great episode.
Chuck Versus the Honeymooners
Morgan’s contribution to the team turned out to be greater than I could have imagined and Casey and Morgan are fun to watch as they interact. Morgan cemented his place in the team; Casey returned to the team (as if there was any doubt he wouldn’t); and Sarah and Chuck took leaps and bounds in their relationship. All around, a fantastic and fun episode.
Chuck Versus the Role Models
A sign of things to come, and an enjoyable introduction to the newly changed relationship between Chuck and Sarah. Again, Casey and Morgan play off each other in a funny and exciting way that gives new life to the series. Now that the romantic tension between Chuck and Sarah is waning, having tension of another kind between some of the other characters is smart.
Chuck Versus the Tooth
The truth is in the tooth… Seriously. It’s obvious Chuck still has it, that something special that has always made me love the show.
This episode was full of great developments. I really like how the episode arcs are getting more complex and interconnected and how Ellie is being pulled into the story. I’ve missed the Buy More but the stories have been exciting and interesting enough to keep me from feeling too broken up about the decreased prominence of Buy More.
You can also buy the episodes to watch online or download to your computer. You can also find the DVDs on Netflix (but not to watch instantly).
