I think we actually agree...I totally understand that nearly all the time in the show, characters lie to other characters to "coddle" them more than out of a sense of carefully considered compassion being transfered or shared between equals.

But I don't know...I just have an issue with the way lying is handled on the show, I suppose. <br /><br />I'm one of those people who think Chuck would have handled the whole Mauser situation a lot better if Sarah had simply told him the truth and talked it over with him instead of lying right to his face. mxpwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169374944969495531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79953729582147632.post-52794198125393868612010-12-19T19:43:56.307-06:002010-12-19T19:43:56.307-06:00Thanks for the review.

I always assumed that Sarah lied to Chuck, not only because she's trying to avoid telling him the truth, but because she already has (some level of) feelings for him, and she knew that the truth about Bryce would hurt Chuck and she already didn't want to do that, if she could avoid it.

That's why Chuck's story of Casey the Pantsless Public Drunk will always remain near and dear to my heart. <br /><br />Also, I never noticed the whole "Morgan imitating the penguin" thing before, so I went back and Ayefahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79953729582147632.post-15277568838661769512010-12-17T19:10:13.992-06:002010-12-17T19:10:13.992-06:00I have always thought that Morgan's presence d...I have always thought that Morgan's presence during a couple's game night to be very strange. He seemed so out place. In this scene he went from being a wierd stalker to a plot hole.

My favorites was his jealousy of the amount of attention Chuck was showing towards Sarah (which makes sense) and his reaction to Carina saying yes to the double date.<br /><br />You guys were totally right about Carina playing Chuck.

I forgot how many awesome individual elements were in this episode, and how much character work it did. After the sorta-screwup that was "Helicopter", this was one of the episodes in which the show really found its tone.
