As if my magic, things are rosie
Vinnie Jones always plays the same character, but it's a great character 😁
Last episode was a bit of a mess, an enjoyable mess, but this episode makes up for it in the usual chuck way.
A an added bonus, we get two semi naked spy girls and a happy Morgan :)
The ending is a typical Charah ending, but one you still enjoy seeing and one that makes you have a little tear for.

Guest stars continue to improve!
Great episode. Great story. And Vinnie Jones is great also. Yeah he glares and grits as he is so great at doing, but his comedic moments are pure gold! Love this show.

"Save the girl" is a better title.
This is a fresh take on morning melodramas. Great comedy based on an all Jewish cast and crew. I love how the bad guys are portrayed as Germans.
Many standard melodrama elements but with a twist. Instead of someone blurting out something arrogant and storming out of the room, they simply press a button and turn off the video chat.
Each episode has the standard elements of falling in love then breaking up, loving then angry. The sister is a sensitive princess in need of pampering and maintaining a strict level of political correctness.
I wanted more episodes!
Oh dear.
Enjoyed the first two seasons. This third series, is pure farce. Chuck has not grown at all, as people in his position would normally do. The stories are confused and messy. I love you Zachary, but I'm already looking for something else to watch.
Just a mess
Stagnant. Same ol' same ol' -- Sarah & Chuck ON/Sarah & Chuck OFF. Whacks on/whacks off. Boring. Unimaginative. Nowhere near the quality of the first two seasons which themselves started to fade by the end of season 2. Enough is enough already. Go BIG or GO HOME!

gets annoying
Stumbled upon Chuck by coincidence and mostly enjoyed the first two seasons. But two episodes into the third season, the show unfortunately starts annoying me very much.
Starting with the general premise of Chuck becoming "a spy" when everything he wanted until S2 was to get rid of it and get Sarah. That's a complete reversal of his character. The lame excuse: Important people told him he could change the world.
Which brings me to point 2: The naive approach towards secret services, especially CIA. I get it, it's an American Show, ofc they are the good guys and where would the world be without it. But buying into this whole "we save the world" when in fact CIA and others are a really big and well documented source of political problems in the world (escalating wars, toppling of governments, drug and arms trafficking) is just ridiculous. I am really tired of this trope. Even within the logic of the series Chuck should have noticed that they are liars by profession so someone telling him "he can save the world and make a difference" is so laughably bad.
And that leads to point 3: Chuck's naivity/immaturity. And here it gets really annoying. It was already a bit much of him feeling the need to talk with Sarah about them in S1 and 2 in the most critical of situations. It was oftentimes painful that the writers let him talk on and on while he just should have shut up by common sense. But in this episode it finally gets super ridculous: Is the character now so incredibly stupid that they are in a time critical situation and he wants to have a private talk? Did he leanr NOTHING over the past years and in his spy-training? Come on.
There is really a lack of creativity showing to evolve this show and the characters. Instead it's just repeating a proven concept that gets boring. And the annoying aspects as mentioned above are ruining the suspension of disbelief very thouroghly.
I'm still giving it a couple of episodes more. But am not expecting much of it. Shame.
So the rating is more for the direction and premise of the series ; the episode in itself was ok.
