No one asked but I like to give my opinion anyway so enjoy

I’ve tried to keep this list as spoiler free as possible BUT there will be spoilers ahead. You have been warned.

***

10. Chuck Versus The Intersect (Pilot)

Okay so truthfully, this isn’t one of the best episodes. There’s probably a bunch more episodes I could put above this one buuuut this episode is still a really great start to an amazing series and I can’t help but love it.

9. Chuck Versus The Ring

I mean... c’mon. This ep has one of THE most iconic lines. I can’t not include it. When I first watched Chuck, I already knew about the 2.0 so I wasn’t surprised but I was so excited when it happened.

Perhaps slightly controversial that it’s so low on this list but aside from THAT scene, the rest of the episode is kinda alright y’know?

8. Chuck Versus The First Date

As a season opener, it’s a REALLY good one. “Do you find me imposing? You can be honest. I was going for imposing” is an Iconic line. Plus I feel like you can see Chuck’s character development from absolutely scared shitless 100% of the time in s1 to starting to feel more confident in himself and it’s great. Plus! I love the use of the song Dropped when Chuck is running away.

7. Chuck Versus The Beard

I feel like this episode needs no introduction. It’s just a really solid episode. I love that Morgan finally finds out and is super chill about it. The only reason I put this ep so low is simply because I’ve over-watched it to the point I could probably quote the entire script to you.

6. Chuck Versus The Honeymooners

Again, solid episode. I normally hate miscommunication but it’s kinda hilarious in this episode. Plus Epic fight scene. And finally canon Charah! We love. Also Morgan being an asset to the team with his obscure knowledge of topics is always a win in my book.

5. Chuck Versus The A-Team

Defusing a bomb with apple juice? Iconic. Plus I love Chuck and Sarah working out that they’re the B-Team. Idk I just love any ep where Chuck goes up against another intersect and of course, wins.

4. Chuck Versus The Suburbs

I can’t really explain why exactly I love this episode so much? But I love the “pretending to be married and living together to catch a target when they’re secretly in love with each other” trope. It’s probably the same reason I love that one episode of Lucifer so much tbh. Plus the music in the scene where Chuck shields Sarah’s eyes is honestly some of my favourite music from the soundtrack.

3. Chuck Versus The Wedding Planner

I’m sorry the fake flash scene continues to crack me up. That scene is amazing by itself, but then the fact that they have to throw a wedding by themselves... it’s a great episode.

2. Chuck Versus The Subway/The Ring II

Okay anyone who knows me knows I’m a sucker for some good whump and the intersect malfunctioning is all I could ever ask for. Plus the final fight is Epic and I love it.

Some honourable mentions:

Okay, yes there’s a lot I know I just love this show. There’s still more I could put on if I wanted to but I’m tryna keep it a somewhat acceptable length.

Chuck Versus the Alma Mater

Chuck Versus the Truth

Chuck Versus the Cougars

Chuck Versus the DeLorean

Chuck Versus the Tic Tac

Chuck Versus the Other Guy

Chuck Versus the Tooth

Chuck Versus the Anniversary

Chuck Versus the Push Mix

Chuck Versus the Cat Squad

And finally...
