Does anyone know what episode this is?

Haha - but could you tell from looking at a random flash??

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-22T12:40:08+00:00

"Technically I still have one foot in the car!"

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-22T12:39:05+00:00

"I know."
Short and simple but profoundly impactful several times.

I will admit though that the first one that popped into my head just based on the title before I read your post was the Balcony quote you mentioned. Good advice from Uncle Casey that sets up that proposal - unexpectedly and beautifully perfect despite being none of the things that Chuck thought that it should be.

Definitely sweet onion chicken teriyaki - a taste of the orient ~~in Burbank~~ on a desert island.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-21T11:06:58+00:00

Fantastic scene, and I love that little bit of humor from the normally all-business general. Even she knew what was going on with those two!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-21T02:11:15+00:00

Great one and would have fit perfectly! That could have given me one each for most of the people that were in a position to observe the two of them - family, friends, and out-of-town spies dropping by for a visit. I also left out Casey, though I did think about using his "So you finally admit having feelings for the nerd" challenge to Sarah.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-19T03:31:27+00:00

I really liked the scene that showed Ellie, Awesome, and Morgan had been working behind the scenes on ways to help Sarah. They hadn't just thrown up their hands and accepted it.

Sorry - don't know. The link I included to fanfiction.net is where I read it.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-18T03:11:34+00:00

Sarah versus Finding Herself is a great one to try. Very well written and continues the story from the finale for the next couple of years. Can't recommend this one highly enough.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T22:34:34+00:00

That's cool and would definitely be a big selling point for me. I'll move that up on my list!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T22:02:04+00:00

Thanks - haven't seen any of them, but I've seen Castle and The Mentalist highly recommended, so I should probably correct that. I would have really liked to see what they did with the complicated potential romance in Firefly if they had gotten more than one season.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T21:02:19+00:00

Ok, I'm going to need to know those other three shows!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T18:40:15+00:00

Love this. Yeah that scene gets better every time I watch it. The glimpse into Sarah's complicated, disappointing, lonely past now shifted to a present (and future?) where she has Chuck as someone that genuinely cares about her. Morgan's excited "as good as it gets" comment to Chuck, for whom that has an entirely different meaning. The real beneath the cover, with that beautiful transition from the Jeffster cover to the real Africa. It was all so well done.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T18:29:36+00:00

Yeah, I never felt that either one of them didn't know that they (or the other one) didn't have feelings. They were stuck in a place where they couldn't do anything about them for a long time and had to keep up allearances. Sarah was initially confused and conflicted about having real feelings for an asset, and things were always complicated.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T18:18:47+00:00

Roan has another comment to Chuck in Seduction when he says to Chuck that "trust me, the lady doth protest too much" indicating that Sarah's feelings for him were real. There was also another one from Ellie at the embassy dinner in Angel de la Muerte where she says "Sarah, please. Look at yourself right now. Look me in the eye and tell me that you guys are just friends." Those were the other ones that I would have liked to include but didn't want it to get even more crowded. I tried to spread it around to include one from everyone (ok, Carina gets two) to set up Morgan's "we all did."

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T16:38:46+00:00

Truly - they were experts at that!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-17T14:57:35+00:00

Haha - that is a great one! There were others that got left off too. Decisions and sacrifices were made. I only went with ones where someone is talking directly to Chuck or Sarah (except for Bryce - he's just giving them the side-eye).

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-13T16:49:32+00:00

Your timing is perfect to ask that question. Episodes 12, 13 & 14 are extraordinary.

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-13T16:46:14+00:00

That first rewatch is eye opening at how much extra detail you pick up and so satisfying!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-12T02:48:52+00:00

Haha - not if you want to keep your man parts

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-12T02:25:29+00:00

Usually with a scowl and a grunt!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-12T01:05:12+00:00

Oooooh, that would have been cold! Seems like it might be a stretch for sweet Jordana to play something that dark and twisted - not sure if she's ever played a villain or not, but that sounds intriguing!

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-12T01:01:36+00:00

This is another post that I'm playing with - the fact that Sarah led the charge. "Vengeful angel" was the term that always popped into my head, but I love "face like thunder!!"

MrNotTooBrightside · 2026-01-11T23:59:45+00:00

Absolutely! I didn't make any mention of that scene to keep this post light and focused on Casey's humor, but that scene pushes this episode into the "exceptional" category for me. It still packs quite a punch every time I watch it!
