Chuck vs. the Muuurder

That's it, I'm done. This episode of Chuck was spectacularly underwhelming. It's an interesting premise, what with the whodunit and the search for a new Intersect. Yet here I am, utterly underwhelmed by both of these underdeveloped plot points. Sure, we got the tongue-in-cheek reference to a Brody as Chuck's doppelgänger, but none of them were developed as characters so by the time it all came crashing down we still didn't really care. I get that montages are probably easy on the budget but COME ON, it makes a weak episode feel even more thin. On the other hand there was the Buy More B-Plot which was equally unfunny, my inner 12-year-old didn't even giggle at the 'big BM' gag.

I miss that spark it used to have. That having been said, I'll stick it out till the rest of the season - or should I say series? I'm not sure that this deserves to be renewed.
