Chuck: Chuck Versus the Last Details (2011)
Season 4, Episode 23
3/10
Predictable and nothing new
21 June 2023
The conclusions to them taking down the bad guys are always so unfulfilling. Especially in this one. It makes everyone who works at Volkoff seem like amateurs. Not what you think you'd get from an organisation of what, 20+ years? Not enough action until the ending. Which I didn't like. It was predictable. And of course Sarah saves Chuck. His mother was right behind him, even with her gun out she's too slow. Which I didn't get.. it's not like she's done this her whole life.. And as usual the "villains" always talk too much before pulling trigger. Not something I feel like happens in a world of spy's but I get it. It's TV. But Chuck being goofy and rambling on would definitely get him shot straight away. My issue with this episode though is that it wasn't suspenseful. They basically told us what was gonna happen. So Vivian and the toast was too obvious and rushed.

I did like the Casey and Morgan scenes. That was more suspenseful than the predictable ending. Ellie and Awesome were good in this as well and the Jeff and Lester scenes were good as well. They actually surprised me. I forgot about the video and didn't except it to be them who made the video of Chuck and Sarah. It was unexpected but wholesome of them

Lastly, who were all those people at the engagement party? Most of them we've never seen before. I get they do that in films but I just don't believe they know that many people. Like am I supposed to believe that? It was done so fill it but they don't have that many people in their lives. I do wish Sarah's old team and dad was there, I like what he brings to this show but again it was rushed, especially at the end so it wouldn't have made sense to have them for a minute. Big problem with pacing here. The script just isn't it and most of their lines, I feel are overly long, cringy and cheesy. The dialogue has always been like that but the first 2 seasons pulled it off and it worked for the most part but it got worse, not better. It's not even an old show so there's no excuse for that. I'm not gonna list more issues as I've said it in other episodes. At least I'm almost done with this series.
