Chris Fedak Talks Back Six, Plus Chuck 3.14 Review

TV Squad has a new interview with Chuck co-creator Chris Fedak in which he discusses the back six episodes and the initial plans for the first 13 episodes. Here’s an excerpt:

Can you give us any indication of how Chuck’s dad is going to come back?
Well, I think that you know, Steven J. Bartowski, when he does come into Chuck’s life, he’s a person who’s been involved in the spy world. And when we last saw him, he had spent an incredible amount of time trying to get the Intersect out of his son’s head. And much of what we’re going to be dealing with coming up is that Chuck’s now decided to be a spy. And that decision, in episode 22 last season when he uploaded the Intersect 2.0 to save Sarah and Casey and to be a hero, that’s very much what this season is about. And the next few episodes will be dealing with the ramifications of that.

Is it good to have a neophyte spy with Morgan being on board? Because Chuck’s not really that way anymore, now that he’s got the Intersect 2.0 in him and he can do a lot of stuff he couldn’t do.
Well, I think two things. One, I would say is that Chuck is always going to be Chuck Bartowski. It’s important to the show and I think it’s also so much a part about how Zach imbues Chuck with kind of a regular guy (vibe) and that’s a part of the show.

But you’re absolutely right. What’s been great for us this season is that bringing Morgan into the spy world with another person, another newbie, kind of a virgin to the spy world, who becomes our eyes and sometimes our voice for how incredible the spy world is, and how whackadoodle it can be. It needs to have another person. And Josh Gomez (who plays Morgan), last season when we were talking about season three, he was just so excited to kind of be able to be the new audience, to be the new kind of fish out of water in the spy world.

Meanwhile, Jace at Televisionary has posted his review for “Chuck vs. the Honeymooners”, which airs Monday, April 26:

There’s a winning sense of joy and lightness to this episode that has been missing from the series for a bit, given some of the darkness that crept in during the last few installments. “Chuck Versus the Honeymooners” provides just the right mix of comedy, romance, action, and intrigue as well as several new character dynamics to explore.

Given that the previous episode had finally brought together Chuck and Sarah in a real and meaningful way, I was curious to see just how their relationship would be handled here, whether they would be taking tentative first steps into the dating world or whether we’d find them as a full-blown couple.

Let’s just say: the honeymoon isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
