This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Have the female fights gotten better?
Sadly, no. The CIA woman and the scary international arms dealer (also a woman) had an all-out brawl on the rooftop near the end, and even *I* could tell whoever the stuntwoman was for the CIA woman didn't know how to throw a punch.
Chuck was fabulous tonight! MUCH better than last week.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Much fun.
The VERY important musical scene from the Dr Who Finale denied to Americans...

I don't think I can get past the lameness of the female lead. Male lead isn't charismatic enough, and neither will my Adam Baldwin love suffice.
That brawl was a sissy slapfest, and maybe they're doing a sendup or something, but ick.
My issues with Chuck had a great deal to do with the WTF-ness of CIA and NSA agents actually shooting one another.
I'm still WTF about that.
With Chuck, I find I can handwave most WTFastic stuff because it totally doesn't take itself seriously. It's a giant spy-thriller spoof and the spy stuff is deliberately cheetastic. As long as it makes me laugh, I can dig it.
I will continue to be befuzzled as to why the fairies were screwing around with Gwen FOR NO APPARANT REASON AT ALL.
I hear what you're saying, but it didn't actually bother me, because it just struck me as a typically fairy kind of thing. They don't need a reason to fuck with you, and that's part of why they're scary critters. They're whimsical, and Captain Logic isn't steering their tugboat because they ate him and wove his entrails into a butterfly net. Because it struck them as fun.
I kept finding myself watching a little bit of Chuck, and then clicking away whenever it started to drag, which turned out to be quite a lot last night. Then I'd realize that there was absolutely nothing else on worth watching and flip back to Chuck. Lather, rinse, repeat, at least until the final fight at Buy More. Baldwin is still good, but the rest just has me at meh.

I started to post last night that that fight was horrendously bad. It made my head hurt, so ita should probably avoid it altogether. Note to stunt coordinator: Kicks, even when blocked, should still be set up so that the kick ends closer than three feet away from its target. Just waving the foot around in the air won't do anything, unless you have lethal foot odor.
The combination of these descriptions of horrible fight scenes and people being taught how to dance is giving me Farscape flashbacks.
And not the good kind.
