(S02E13) “Chuck vs. the Best Friend”

As a girl there’s many things that I find mysterious about men. Their obsession for hot sports cars for one. Sure, they’re pretty… but then? Or how about their apparently shared dreams of becoming members in a band. Maybe it’s because there’s few girls that can resist a guy with a guitar. When it comes down to it though, for as many guy-things that I simply will never understand, their sense of loyalty and friendship is not one of them. True friendship is something I completely get.

In tonight’s Chuck, while chock-full of stereotypical “guy” related things the underlying theme was friendship. Specifically, Chuck’s tried and true bromance with Morgan. Even though Morgan only knows half of Chuck’s life he understands perhaps better than everyone else what makes Chuck click. He may not know that Chuck’s a spy, but he does know exactly what his best friend went through during every heartache and every accomplishment growing up. Perhaps because of this, the two have not let their differences tear them apart, but instead accept each other as their stronger half. Aww, now can’t you just feel the love?

Saving Morgan’s life a dozen times over while not only risking his own, but also their friendship, Chuck proves that his loyalty goes beyond the forced government bond his computer-packed brain has made. The cute geek we’ve learned to love even manages to teach Sara (and perhaps even Casey) a thing or two about what makes a true friend and just how important that bond is.

No, tonight’s episode of Chuck wasn’t the most thrilling I’ve ever seen, or even the funniest, but it was the most heartfelt. And I simply can’t argue with a good ol’ bromance, now can I?
