This was the line uttered by Sarah Walker in the latest episode of Chuck just before the opening credits began. It was at this point I became afraid that this episode could be one big filler-filled bag of cliches.
I am, however, glad to report that I was wrong. While the episode had its fair share of bad cliche moments and obnoxious predictability, it was quite pleasant and enjoyable to watch. There was an interesting back story about General Beckman, whom we haven't heard much about history-wise until now. There was the return of a previous character, whom had a large and quite interesting role in this episode.
I have to say, however, that there was one line that is absolutely inexcusable. While facing the possibility of a certain-death mission for Roan (which would involve seducing a female and double crossing her a second time in so many days), Chuck and Sarah protest. They say that it is impossible, and Chuck utters the horrid line, "seduction impossible". This cannot be excused. It is atrocious.
Aside from that (and the always obnoxious "it's a suicide mission" that turns out to be a piece of cake), this episode wasn't bad. There were a few touching moments between Ellie and her mom, Casey tried his hand at seducing a woman (and failed humorously, I might add), Chuck and Sarah talk over some serious relationship issues instead of some petty fight, and they set us up for some very interesting (potentially) plot developments with Sarah's family. I'm hoping now that the writers killed the Volkoff story quickly because it was dragging, and are now moving past that with some better plots and story arcs. Here's hopin'
