This episode was annoying, enervating, mindless, and just flat out ridiculous. I remember years ago having watched "Chuck" all the way through twice. At the time I really enjoyed it. Going back and looking at the episode ratings I gave makes me wonder what in the world I was thinking. This series has not aged well at all. I have a vague recollection of being impressed with the "love story" aspect of Chuck and Sarah, couched in all the spy stuff. Now it all seems like a very very very bad soap opera. I end up muting and fast forwarding through more than I end up watching. Putrid definitely captures this mess. It's not funny. It's not smart. It's not intriguing. It's just crap.

I can see why this show isn't more popular. It hasn't aged well at all. Which is hard to do since it's only 2007-2012. You'd think it was older.

This episode though.. What was the side plot with the prenup all about? 5 minutes of nothing for it to be ripped up at the end by Sarah. Chuck pretending he didn't care then again then they don't discuss things properly like adults. Instead he writes a new one. Cute but I just thought it was a weird bit. All this time and they have not worked on themselves. They say they'll be open and talk then it just repeats. It's so recycled. I swear they only add these little drama bits with them to fill the gaps. But it's every damn episode. Something is either inbetween them or they're super insecure about something or worried about their relationship. It's so tiresome. They just don't communicate at the time, they wait until they're mid mission to have a therapy session. Both as whiny and needy as each other. I liked Sarah as well but the this season she's just morphed into Chuck as well.

I think the one problem besides the cringe dialogue, annoying main character traits and unrealistic writing plots is the fact that I think the show is too long. It should have went with season 1's length, I like filler episodes usually but I haven't since season 2 and if they wanted longer seasons, it shouldn't been 30 minutes max. I just find it too goofy and it's not funny or quirky enough so I don't get why they went that route. It's too over the top but it can't pull it off because it's not a comedy to me. Although I have a few laughs it's not enough. I wish they took more of a serious route with comedy and they still could've kept quirky characters but made Chuck less of an annoying cliché and get rid of their childish needy relationship and make it less cartoonish. I'm not gonna say anymore, there's a lot wrong with it that I think could've been better.
