Every week it seems Chuck has trust issues with his handlers, Sarah and Casey. This time another person he meets named Laszlo gives a good reason for him to have them: He mentions the bugs hidden in his house. After finding them he confronts Casey about them, Casey tells him its for his own good although he hates the conversations about sandwiches Chuck has with Morgan. Chuck is also up for an assistant manager position at Buy More and tells Morgan to grow up. Morgan enlists the help of Devon ("Capt. Awesome"). As he bonds with Laszlo watching James Bond movies, Chuck's unaware of how dangerous Laszlo really is...That conversation about sandwiches on a deserted island that irks Casey so much is a highlight of the episode as is the whole costume party that climaxes the hour with Chuck and Morgan really bonding over the annual Dune sandworm outfit they always dress in at this time of Halloween. I recognized a fellow agent that appears here as Samantha's superior on "Samantha Who?" last week. He sure is one strange looking dude! Also loved the whole scene of Awesome telling Morgan to tuck his shirt as a way of acting more mature. Looks like they really are trying to make him a little less irritating though I still loved when he revealed to Ellie's boyfriend that when he was 12, he stayed under the bed to look at her undress! Hope the ratings pick up this week!

Chuck Vs. The Sandworm
PeachHamBeach23 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The only reason I tuned in for this episode is Jonathan Sadowski, who did an awesome job as Laszlo, the child prodigy who was recruited at an arcade on the Pier to work for the government. Angry at the whole world because the government used him, Laszlo escapes the compound he's been kept in and runs into Chuck, convincing him to splurge on a pancake breakfast and help hide him until he figures out what to do. Quite quickly, Laszlo becomes mentally unstable (it's hinted that he's been on medication...why is this so common? Crazy geniuses?) and now he's not taking it, so he's going to wig out any second.
Meanwhile, it's Halloween, and everyone looks forward to Chuck and his best pal Morgan dressing up in their "space penis" costume. Chuck is up for a promotion at Best Buy (cough...Buy More) and Morgan is as annoying as ever, which is why I tuned out pretty early on when this show came out. And as usual, Chuck's sister is given nothing to do but hang on the arm of Mr. Awesome and act like everyone should have the Awesome boyfriend she has. Agent Walker is beautiful, but never convinced me she was a tough government agent. Adam Baldwin as Casey is terrific, and I do like Zachary Levi...he's geekily sexy and I was shocked to see a really good chemistry between Chuck and Laszlo in this episode (don't mind me, I'm a perv always on the prowl for m/m inspiration). Too bad Laszlo couldn't be a regular super-villain to tangle with.
A great episode in a so-so series.
