The show runs on a very predictable loop of episodes, recycling the manufactured drama between Chuck, his family, and the CIA. Chuck, regularly lies to "protect the people he loves" and this is actually the narrative engine for most of the story arks (skin, crackpot science, and 80's pop culture references are the narrative engine for each episode.) I don't want my protagonist to be perfect, but at least let him get creative with his mistakes, rather than recycling the same four episode cycle of lying, getting caught, and saving the person you lied to so they can't be angry.Tyler Antkowiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471146428284229391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107600.post-36094678634574109282010-11-18T15:09:59.194-08:002010-11-18T15:09:59.194-08:00I think the skin objection is most applicable to t...I think the skin objection is most applicable to the first half of season one. Shows often do this in order to get the male audience interested in the show, and then they tone it down once the proverbial hook is set.Le Noir Faineantnoreply@blogger.com
