This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.
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.
I liked Chuck. I like how he isn't completely incompetent. I liked how he was smart enough to his interrogator exactly what she wanted to hear, without actually revealing anything.
Pacing is a problem, though. It was just like Supernatural in that it ended ten minutes before the episode was over.
I liked Chuck too.
The Tango Lessions with Capt. Awesome were hilarious and so were many, many things that Casey did. AB is so great in this.
Chuck
was entertaining despite the bad fight scene. What I really liked were the opening credits! Weird that it took until ep 3 to show them.
Almost forgot: in the big Art Auction prep montage - my favorite thing was Casey and his bonsai tree.
My favourite bit that didn't involve the tango or Casey throwing a microwave oven at the evil henchman (hee!) was the Shawshank Redemption homage in that scene with Morgan trapped in the storage cage. They used the same duet, even! Awesome.

Nice! I didn't catch that. That's at least the second film homage they've done -- there was a North By Northwest reference in the pilot.
