Chuck: Chuck Versus Sarah (2012)
Sarah + Chuck
As someone watching Chuck for the first time, I'm sad to see the show come to an end. I didn't expect much coming in, but now with one episode left it's safe to say that it is one of my favorites of all time.
Chuck vs. Sarah brings Chuck face to face with a Sarah that has had her memories erased by a tainted intersect. As this episode progresses, it's truly heartbreaking to see Chuck deal with accepting the fact that his Sarah might not be coming back. Chuck has always been passionate when it comes to completing a mission, so naturally when his mission is to save Sarah he gives it everything he's got.
This sets up a great finale where we will see whether or not Ellie and Awesome decide to move their family out east, how Sarah will regain her memories (because come on, their not going to end the show with Chuck and Sarah NOT together), and the conclusion for all of our other favorite characters. Chuck has been an fun, exciting, and funny show throughout, and I expect nothing less from the finale.
P.s. I don't know how I'm going to get by without my daily dose of John Casey.
How I Met Your Mother: Three Days of Snow (2009)
We should buy a bar!
I'd have to say that HIMYM is my favorite sitcom of all time, and this is definitely in my top five favorite episodes.
To give a brief summary, a snow storm hits NYC and causes some problems for the gang. The story leads the viewer to believe we're witnessing three different story lines on the same day--Ted and Barney's bar "Puzzles" (whys it called Puzzles? That's the Puzzle!), Marshall and Robin's journey to the airport, and Lily and Ranjit's search for a six-pack--but as the title says, this is three days of snow.
There were some great character interactions in this episode that outshine many of the others. No one really ever talks about it, but Ted and Barney have a real strong relationship, (even though Ted insists Marshall is his best friend) and it shows more than ever as they find a way to borrow Carl's bar for a bit.
Marshall and Robin really expanded on their relationship as well. These two characters always seem to be the most distant within the group, and rarely do they team up for a story line that only involves the two of them. (another one is where Marshall takes Robin to the Vikings bar in "Little Minnesota") Together they find the right mix of heartfelt moments and humor.
Overall, I have to give this one a 10/10 being it's in my top five. I really miss this show, and more so miss the characters that I grew to love so much.
