This week on Chuck: Chuck has to keep watch on another nerd who is building a deadly super weapon. Oh and Morgan starts macking on Hannah! And just what is "WeapCon"? Read the review to find out!
Last week on Chuck: Stone Cold and Lana Lang were on a plane with Chuck, which was going to France. And yes, it was for a mission. While Stone Cold got his ass handed to him, Lana actually warmed up to the Chuckster and at the end of the episode she came to work at the Buy More. Oh and she's named Hannah here. This week, Chuck is forced to go after a nerd not unlike himself at the beginning of the series. Where that leads us, is for another paragraph!
So this week we meet Manoosh; Manoosh is just like Chuck was at the beginning of the series; a lonely, pathetic nerd who wasn't worth much and couldn't land a girl to save his life. In fact, to emphasize the similarity between the two, we open up the episode with the scene where Chuck meets Sarah, and we close it with that scene as well, though through Sarah's perspective. Well, it turns out that Chuck is to get close to Manoosh and find out what he's building for The Ring. We soon find out that Manoosh has actually built himself a pair of sunglasses that are essentially the Intersect. He puts them on, flashes and turns into a somewhat douchey Chuck. Of course Manoosh decides to ditch The Ring and go sell the Intersect glasses himself at WeapCon.
What is WeapCon? Well it's just what is sounds like; ComiCon for weapons! Just imagine it; booths upon booths of the newest in killing technology, where Booth Babes might as well be cover models for Jugs and Guns monthly. Clearly, this is Casey's heaven. No, really, it's where the guy goes for vacation every year. This is where Manoosh tries to sell his glasses to the highest bidder. Unfortunately The Ring isn't retarded, and they come to take what they believe is theirs. Well, Chuck does his Chuck-ish thing and saves the day somehow. In the end, we get to see Chuck make a tough decision with Manoosh, one that may just change him. Despite the usual Sarah related shenanigans; the whole thing is a good story.
Then there's the whole Lan-wait, her name is Hanah here. Yes, Hannah, the sexy girl who is a going to turn out to be a spy. Turns out every guy in the Buy More wants to tap that, and as the new king of the man-children, Morgan gets to call first dibs. Honestly, outside of some Lester and Jeff related humor there isn't much to see here. The only good thing coming out of this is a new recurring plot; Morgan and Elle are beginning to smell something fishy about Chuck, and they're looking for answers. For now though, I could care less about anything Hannah related until she comes out and admits she's a spy.
Overall, Great episode, but the Hannah related stuff is boring. Hopefully we don't have to deal with her too long; unfortunately it probably won't be before we have to put up with her and Sarah cat fighting.
