Often times Chuck can be stupid, from predictable plots to plots holes to characters being dumb (yeah, I know starting a reviewing like that isn’t going to score me points with anyone). But Chuck can also be simultaneously the funnest show on television, negating an ill-will towards an episode. Now, that doesn’t happen all the time, and it has been happening with decreasing frequency the past few seasons, but “Chuck Versus the Cat Squad” is definitely one of those episodes.
Sarah in a Charlie’s Angel squad with Carina and two other girls? Awesome start. From there the episode takes off, with passable relationship drama, an obvious mole, a cat fight, and Chuck actually fashioning a weapon before the Intersect kicks in. Was the episode predictable? Yes. Was the episode lots of fun? Yes.
In its fourth season, Chuck doesn’t have those arcs which used to be interesting and meaningful, but it is still a fun show with plenty of qualities to like, and if I’m thoroughly entertained by the end of the episode, it’s a job well done.
Score: 8.8/10
