Wow.
Just saw my DVR recording of Chuck (the episode "Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer")
Hands down, the best episode they have done.......
For a video game nut who watched The Last Starfighter as a teen and hoped that aliens would come and pick him up to save the galaxy by using his mad video game skills, this one really hid all the right spots..... Yvonne in a sexy Nerd Herd outfit, Adam Baldwin getting a woody ready to hit a button to launch a nuke, an Arrested Development alum as an efficiency expert, the bad dude from IronMan as the heavy, and at the center....
spoilers.... move on if you haven't seen it....
Chuck has to play Missile Command to save California (and his sister who he calls to beg to get out of town, but then agonizes as he hangs up, realizing he can't tell her why). Meanwhile, we get to see a Buy More drone in his early 80's heyday, everyone's favorite asskicking Asian hottie waving palm fronds in her hula skirt (because he sweats a lot when he plays), big explosion when the Japanese dude can't quite get to the mythical "kill screen" with the disarm codes..... The End. Boom. Elevator doors close, dent inwards as explosion hits them.
Then to cap it all off, we get that moment with the diploma....
(slow clapping ensues followed by more rousing applause)
Wow, does this show need to stick around for a few more years...... So far, my favorite episode of any show this season. Well done!
