So i'm not someone who often gets angry at a show because it portrays events that could never happen in real life. I understand that shows will stretch and distort reality in order to fit in with a story line and entertain the viewers. But the most recent episode of chuck went TOO FAR.

Note: this will contain spoilers so....stop reading if you haven't watched the episode from today.

There is lots of swearing and stuff, if this upsets you dont read this, i'm just mad

So the episode starts off with the usual bullshit, perfectly executed plan to get on a train, someone busting out of handcuffs whatever, dont give a shit, this stuff doesn't really bug me.

So the first thing that really pissed me off was this. The tim curry look alike villain is disarmed (with an umbrella) and knocked into a coffin which is then sealed shut.
[image loading]

WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY SEARCH HIM HERE? GET RID OF OTHER WEAPONS, PHONES, BOMBS?

so the obvious happens, tim curry lookalike phones up his generic baddies, somehow knowing the identity of Casey's daughter they kidnap her and hold her for random to get the dude let out of the coffin.

FUCK WHAT?

zzzzz


so anyways i was pretty mad here. but u know, whatevz

[image loading]
Meanwhile back at "castle" which aparantly basically every character on the show visits reguarly, super doctor ellie has somehow scanned morgans brain and realised that flashing was bad.

really? What the fuck is this shit about. she's taking a scan of his "brain activity" and somehow deducing information from them from months ago when his brain was affected by the intersect. If they could fucking do this, why didn't they fucking do it straight away. why did they wait 10 fucking episodes to do this seemingly useful procedure until sarahs life depended on it.

FUCKING RETARDED>

[image loading]
So anyways fake doctors kidnap someone from directly inside a fucking busy shop (with the gun visible from many angles) and nobody reacts EXCEPT for fucking lester and co. what the fuck. how could this even happen? pull a gun in a store and people will fucking panic not ignore it.


zzzzz so i'm pretty mad by this point
ThEN THIS HAPPENS
THE FUCKING TIM CURRY LOOKALIKE BADGUY IS FUCKING KICKED OUT THE WINDOW OF A FUCKING BULLET TRAIN< HANGS ON FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES< CLIMBS UNDER THE TRAIN AND THROUGH A FUCKING GRILL BACK ONTO THE TRAIN>

[image loading]

[image loading]
WHAT THE FUCK
THIS MAKES NO SENSE. HE HAS NO SUPER POWERS. HE"S A FUCKING FAT DUDE WHAT THE FUCK. HOW CAN HE HANG ON< HOLDING HIS BODY WEIGHT FOR THAT AMOUNT OF TIME IS UNLIKELY LET ALONE THE FORCE THE FUCKING WIND WOULD HAVE JESUS FUCKING SHITBALLS THIS IS DUMB

NOT TO MENTION THERES A FUCKING SECURITY GUARD ON THE TRAIN< NOBODY SAYS A FUCKING WORD WHEN SOME FUCKING MANIAC COMES BACK THROUGH THE FUCKING BOTTOM OF THE TRAIN LIKE ITS NOTHING? WHAT? I GET THEY"RE JAPANESE BUT JAPANESE PEOPLE AREN"T RETARDED. STOP PORTRAYING THEM LIKE THIS


okedoke so moving on
So the idiot bad guys who kidnapped casey's daughter also capture morgan and awesome who try to save them with no issues whatsoever. Then for some reason miss the dude who has no combat experience putting on full body armor and running up with a fucking gatling gun. YES A GATLING GUN.
[image loading]
Now the bad guy comes outside, sees the dude with this gatling gun (nobody in the store carpark seems to fucking notice btw) and instead of shooting with his sub machine gun (the bad guy has combat training) he fucking stands there while lester makes a speech, then gets flanked by a guy with a flame thrower (lol yes nobody notices) and instead of just shooting the dude who's gun has a spinup time and running away from the flamethrower he just gives up. what? This makes NO FUCKING SENSE. WHY WOULD HE NOT JUST SHOOT. HE"S A BAD GUY THATS HIS JOB FUCK./


So now back onto the train. The fucking internet "goes out". It's obvious that the tim curry lookalike badguy is behind this, but lets think back. TIM CURRY LOOKALIKE HAS NO IDEA THEY"RE USING THE FUCKING INTERNET. SO HIS MASTER PLAN IS, KNOCK OUT THE INTERNET AND HOPE THEY FUCKING NOTICE> HE HAS LITERALLY NO INKLING TO THE PLAN TO DOWNLOAD THE INTERSECT SUPPRESSION DEVICE ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
[image loading]

WHy the fuck does he do this? i cant explain it.

Then explain how the fucking overweight guy can creep up on chuck in the 3 se3conds he's trying to fix the internet. Why does the security guard run away when he sees the fight? Fucking racist portrayal of the japanese again.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR

THIS FAT DUDE

HAS BEEN ON THE OUTISDE OF A TRAIN HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE FOR OVER 10 MINUTES. NOW HE CAN OVERPOWER A DUDE WHOS" SAT IN A TRAIN AND HAS BEEN A SPY FOR OVER 5 YEARS.

WHAT THE FUCK
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? THE FAT DUDE HAS NO SUPER POWERS.

ANYWAYS WE FIND OUT LATER THE FAT DUDE HAS A FUCKING TRANQ GUN ON HIM. WHY DID HE TRY AND GARROTE CHUCK. WHY DIDN"T HE TRANQ HIM HE HAS A FUCKING TRANQ GUN> WHAT THE FUCK.


ANyways moving along. Casey comes to help chuck. They know that there is no reason to keep the tim curry look alike alive. Casey's daughter is safe, the fat dude has NO LEVERAGE. Casey trains a gun on the bad dude. WHY DOESN"T HE SHOOT?


WAHT THE FUCK JUST SHOOT THE CUNT. predictably the bad guy grabs a human shield and runs away.
[image loading]

zzzzzz



So now sarah, hearing SOMEONE run past, is suddenly like, WELL I BETTER CAPTURE THE BAD GUY WHO HAS NO LEVERAGE INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING WITH MY BLINDFOLD ON FOR ANOTHER 10 MINUTES TO SAVE MY BRAIN FROM EXPLODING.

Whatever, i'm ok with this. they're doing it to build tension or whatever.


So now the bad guy whips out his tranq gun he aparantly had all along but didn't use in the 30 different sitautions it would've actually been useful./

and sarah, despite having the intersect, is OUT FUCKING PERFORMED BY THE TIM CURRY LOOKALIKE>
WAHT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT. THE INTERSECT SHOULDN"T BE WORSE THAN SOMEONE ELSE. EVEN IF IT MAKES HER FORGET STUFF IT SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO FUNCTION AS IT HAS BEEN ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ



anyways the rest of the episode was dumb but i'm not so mad about that.

anyways i just wanted to vent.
fuck

I actually used to love this show (watched the first episode premiere!) until around season 3 or 4 and then I was like "Okay, this is getting too stupid and predictable."

I didn't even know this show was still on... It just sort of vanished until yesterday where I saw a "Series Finale! 2 hours!" ad on a random channel.

Nice rant, mate. I hate inconsistencies in shows as well. Never watched Chuck, and I still thought this was really entertaining. Good job :D

Yeah i totally agree with Chuck, the past few seasons have been atrocious in this regard. I honestly don't know why i still watch it... Guess i have nothing better to do. I used to enjoy the character development but now they've kinda dropped the ball on that and now it is just ridiculous, stupid and predictable.

I was over Chuck after the first season. Too much shenanigans, not enough attention to continuity. Too "funny" for me. If they (the writers) took this show a little more seriously, it'd have potential. But there is too much focus on witty one liners and bad-assery.

also did you notice that in the first and second or so season, chuck was special because like almost every person would just die when you implanted an intersect? Guess what, by now, everyone can apparently have one without any issues at all (minus programming errors). The physical incompatibility apparently vanished.

I've pretty muched stopped really watching this show.. i still watch it, but i mainly just have it running while eating something so my ears don't get bored kinda.. i'm not really following anymore because it's sadly just degraded so far

There is only one reason why I'd watch that show again, and she isn't even in the pictures so -1 point.

But on a serious note, you can't take Chuck seriously. It's a brainless entertainment kind of thing.

I really liked the first 2 seasons, saw season 3 too I think, then I got bored of it. This is just ridiculous, Casey being Casey should just shoot everyone on every opportunity, that's what he lives for.

Adam Baldwin is the only reason I tried to watch it initially. He was priceless in Firefly/Serenity, now it just seems like he needs a paycheck =(

I liked this post. While I don't watch the show I understand the sentiments here. I can suspend disbelief for anything that relates to a show or movie's premise. But when things happen that are just dumb or or couldn't happen that don't relate to the show's immediate concept, then I have a problem enjoying the show.

An example: Terra Nova going back to the land of dinosaurs to start a new colony? That's fine, the show is based upon that concept. But why can some random kids sneak in and out of the military-guarded gates undetected to come and go as they please while the enemy sixers can't come within 500 yards of the place before being spotted?

Yeah I got as far as "Dos override" in the first ep, and that was enough Chuck for me.

Good concept, but terribly thought out writing kills it.

I have much respect for you making it this far in the series. I personally stopped watching after the 3rd season. It went downhill so fast in the first 2 episodes of the 4th season imo it wasn't even fun anymore to watch that train wreck.

Chuck is a trash show. Sarah is pretty much the sole reason why I watched the show. I hope she's making millions because she basically sells the show by herself.

S1-S2 were pretty bad, nothing funny about a fake spy with inducted powers.. consistency or not..
The show is supposed to be a comedy, not a spy thriller.

The last season was actually funny...
Hidding the spy castle from Lester and the other guy...
Having Morgan mess various things up...
That's much better than seeing a random nerd going on random spy missions and knowing everything will ends right.

Chuck is one of the most unbelievable shows even given the premise of the Intersect existing. Only show that's less unbelievable is Lost, even given that there's a magic island. You can't get too mad at this kind of stuff or your head will explode ^^.
