Chuck - “Chuck versus the Third Dimension” Review


Charlie Pace! I mean…Dominic Monaghan guest stars on the special 3D episode of Chuck. Fresh from Lost fame, he comes into the world of Chuck as a rock star (sigh!). Seems like poor Charlie is being typecast, but at least he didn’t come to Chuck as a hobbit.

So onto the main attraction of the episode, the third dimension part of the show. Unfortunately I can not review this part of the episode, since not everyone got these special glasses. It was not unbearable to watch the episode without the glasses, but it did take some getting used to.

The storyline for this episode was decent, but I really preferred the Buy More portion. Jerome Bettis guest starred as the new employee / friend of Big Mike. That’s the second retired NFL player to make an appearance on an episode of Chuck this season (the other being Michael Strahan). Funny thing is I wouldn’t know Bettis was a football player if he were not on the Super Bowl pre-game panel yesterday. The challenges to see who Morgan would take to the concert were fantastic, especially the use of “The Final Countdown” during the Subway eating contest.

The plot of most Chuck episodes are always packed with entertainment with the promise of laughs along the way, and it’s good to see that the team behind this show continue to do a great job.

So which is the better band, the Tyler Martin band or Drive Shaft? (Sorry if you don’t get the reference, just watch Lost!)
