Firstly, my apologies for being a bit late on this review. I felt I needed to watch this one twice due to all the personal relationships being re-established in this episode.
I really enjoyed the opening scene with Merle talking about his war experiences. We knew as the audience that he had nobody to converse with and at times I almost felt like he was talking to the Cameraman but his dialogue went between  his ramblings …

Chuck. It’s perhaps one of my favorite shows to tune in to. It skillfully meshes comedy, action and drama into a wonderful hour of television. I can think of only a handful of times in the shows 4 seasons where an episode was weak. This past Monday’s episode was not one of the weaker ones.
Opening on the heels of the previous episode, Chuck (played by Zachary Levi) has lost the Intersect, …

I love movies like this because they deliver exactly what they advertise. You know what type of movie you are in for and can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the comedy. I do like movies that require more thought, but occasionally you want the mindless entertainment. This is exactly what I expect from director Todd Phillips.

Hey gang. First let me issue a few apologies. It’s been a crazy hectic few days and I havent been able to rewatch this past week’s episode til tonight. In case you didn’t catch it, this week was a bottle episode.

This song is One of These Days by Michelle Branch. It’s not a great song, it might not even be a good song. I’ll never know because it means so much more to me than the derivative pop that it probably is. For me it’s wrapped up in a story, in a moment of meaning that I’ll never forget and from which this song cannot be extricated.

The episode title of this the 2nd episode of the 1st series is short but oh so accurate. Not only is it so viscerally displayed to the viewer but it sums up the emotional reserves that the characters are drawing on as well as the actions they will take to escape alive. While I do rehash some of the plot, I would hope that you have seen the things that I have seen along the way.
