I have to admit this episode didn't do a lot to hold my interest. I wound up playing on the computer and making tapioca pudding while watching it. :D That said, I thought the woman guest star was all right. I know she's the scourge of the Smallville fandom (I don't watch the show), but she didn't inspire any hate from me in this ep.
The only thing that makes me eyeroll about her is that we know exactly what's coming: she'll be Chuck's love interest for a few eps, and then she'll swan off. WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. I think the TPTB need a time out for continuing to attempt to write romance (of any kind) since they fail so badly at it.
Shaw...doesn't bug me, but I still have no idea why they've added him. This is turning into a very strange season.
I must not have been in a TV mood last night (or I was too interested in my tapioca pudding or something) since this show kind of bored me as well. 24's big problem in having 24 episodes in a season, is that sometimes a lot of padding goes on. The actual action of this episode probably could have taken up 5 minutes and the rest was driving around or having conversations like "when will he/she get here?" 24 really is a show that works better when you can marathon it.
Still tired of the Dana Walsh storyline. It really is just filler.

Besides everyone knows Chuck and Casey should end up together

Now you went and put that in my head and it makes me think of The Odd Couple. Wonder if I have enough footage to do that one...

And you have one of my favorite Castle moments as an icon! I put that in the Castle vid...

It's the moment that had me going "I *have* to give Castle a try"

As it turns out, I discovered in later seasons of Smallville that it's mostly not Kristin Kreuk's fault but what was being written for her. I liked her much better later on. So it doesn't surprise me that she did well on Chuck.

I watch it for Adam Baldwin and his insane personality. If not for him, I wouldn't be watching anything at 8 on Mondays.

Yes! Exactly! Even the 2 hour blocks are better than a single hour at a time.
As for Chuck, I don't like Shaw. I don't think the character was really needed for the show and I have this (bad) thought that he's going to be a turncoat because the lady the ring belongs to is alive and being held hostage or something crazy like that. Admittedly though, I did like Casey in last night's episode.

Yeah, I get the feeling Shaw will turn on them too, because otherwise why is he around? I don't get it.

- "development" episodes, which set up more things later.
- the little clock that appears at the bottom of the screen letting you know the hour is ending but there won't be another episode for another week!
Last night was rather slow, though you can kind of understand why given how much was in the first four hours. The next couple are usually a lot more developmental, but there really was a heck of a lot of just driving around this episode. It was a bit daft if you ask me, even if it could be considered more realistic.
And the more I learn about Dana Walsh, the less believable I find it. I mean, she's an ex-con, changed her name, and yet still got a Top Secret security clearance from CTU? Apparently the federal background check is for s**t, if they missed something that significant.

Absolutely!

XD Yup!

You're probably right. We'll probably have more of this for a bit.

I know, right? This is what CTU does.

Since they started doing this whole 4 hour block to start the season, it's seemed like hours 5 and 6 are usually slow, sometimes even 7, but then it starts building again. It's just one of those things I suppose.

Exactly!

That's EXACTLY what I thought! Just... stop. Please. :D

(Also, Chloe's character is made of win. I should have given up on Smallville years ago, but I keep on watching because of her.)

His script must be fascinating.
CASEY: Grunts inquisitively. Lifts eyebrow, growls menacingly.

You know, I'd read a study like that. :D

As for 24, I think it was a combo of building up the plot and for me, I'm sorry, I don't like Renee/Annie Wersching and it bugs me that since her appearance, this is essentially becoming HER story, HER struggle, blah, blah and everything else seems like a side story to her angst. Sorry, do not care, and subsequently DNW. What I did want? Is for Vlad to shoot her ass. Alas ....
The Dana story is dragging, but they keep saying something cool comes out of this/not is all it seems, and there are always a few episodes where they are setting things in play so I'm willing to be patient. I just love Katee Sackhoff so much, that's easy for me.
no subject
And I'm kind of with you, although I don't dislike her, really. But I kind of don't care about her storyline.
And I hadn't heard that about the Dana storyline. I'll try to be patient.
