Chucktoid: Chuck’s First Flash

Introducing a new series of mini insights into Chuck – Chucktoids, if you will – courtesy of G. Walter Bush, author of Unpacking Chuck and Unpacking Chuck 2.0.

Baptismal imagery, ranging from plunges into swimming pools to being soaked by fire sprinklers, is used repeatedly throughout the series to signify fundamental changes within characters and relationships. The first of these images appears during the pilot, in which Chuck begins his new life as the Intersect when pointedly experiencing his first flash in the shower.
