Chuck Versus the Third Dimension

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Chuck foils a plan to kill international rock star Tyler Martin leading Sarah and Casey to kidnap the musician to find out who wants him dead. When Chuck is left unattended with Tyler, the party animal rocker convinces Chuck to go out on the town, which only ends in a night of trouble. Meanwhile, Big Mike enlists Morgan to look out for his old football buddy Jimmy who was just released from jail and hired at the Buy More. In the midst of Morgan’s newly assigned duties, he wins a pair of backstage passes to Tyler’s show and holds a contest in true Super Bowl fashion that pits Jeff against the formidable former convict Jimmy.

Our Take

This is the gimmicky 3D episode aired after the Super Bowl, and the gimmick mostly gets in the way. The rock star plot is thin, though the Buy More stuff with Big Mike’s ex-con buddy earns some real laughs. Disposable but pleasant, worth a watch if you’re already on board, nothing here you’ll remember next week.
