With each new episode, I love the Henry/Edward relationship even more, while getting more and more exasperated with the overall story arc.
Henry is devastated that Edward killed his old college buddy, and is determined to somehow get rid of Edward. That he spends $2,000 on an inappropriate dress for his daughter is a small [...]
I was very amused at this week’s Chuck, as it addressed several of the things I’ve commented on from week to week. And while the episode did more than exchange a glance with ridiculousness, it was one of the best of the season, I think.

Unfortunately, this show is beinging to lose my interest. It’s covering ground that has been traveled over before by other shows. The twist of Edward/Harry is beinging to grow old.
The episode begins with Harry searching for “home movies.” His wife is still basking in the glow of “the Hummingbird” - a sexual experience Edward had [...]
