For all of his issues, Jack Burton is ultimately the real hero of the show. His recognition of Chuck's love for Sarah is ultimately what got her to admit to herself that she's in love with Chuck. Plus, he gave his blessing, in his own way, to them getting married, which for all their issues, would've still been important to Sarah.
I look at it as the exact opposite. Casey is still encouraging her not to give up on the whole situation. His comments came after he notices Sarah is staring at the still of Chuck on the security camera. I think he sees that she's hurting over the whole situation, especially considering how she reacted to Chuck during the mission was completely out of character for Sarah. And remember, this came after Casey had asked Chuck about what had happened and he just said he needed to fix it. So I think Casey's just reminding Sarah, that no matter what it was that Chuck did, he still is in love with her, and that whatever the issue is, it can be fixed. And let's face it, Casey probably would've just assumed it was Chuck who f'ed things up, anyway, if if Chuck hadn't already said as much.
In his own way Casey was in favor of the relationship and helped push them together. "Meaning I go find the cypher and you go find Chuck" or "Walker is a good women, its not too late" or "You picked a good one, ....finally" etc
@@SteveFresca-qk1vd It's seemingly just that he didn't like Bryce, for some reason. He seemed to rather have enjoyed having "killed" Bryce during the pilot, and had a lot of animosity towards Sarah, for some reason too. And when Bryce came back, was the first time Casey gave Chuck shit about him and Sarah, too.
That part of the show was realistic. In the real world, prior to 9/11 the letter agencies (CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.) all had their little fifedoms and they did not share info or work together at all. They all played "I got a secret" so they could save the world and thus get more funding. After 9/11 it was postulated that 9/11 might not have happened if the agencies had worked together and shared info. So Casey (with the NSA) would have not been nice to any CIA agent (Sarah and Bryce) and would have been happy to take one out, and he certainly would not have trusted them. This is also brought out in his comments with Carina who was with the DEA, again a different agency, and thus was not to be trusted or worked with. Caseys initial distrust of Bryce and Sarah was one of the realistic parts of the show.@@ErikLeber-td7oj
@@SteveFresca-qk1vd But in the context of the show, there seemed to be more to it than that. Sarah called Casey a "burnout", and Bryce clearly didn't trust or like him, either. And during the Thailand episode, Casey says he didn't like the pre-Chuck Sarah, calling her "Graham's wild card" and "unpredictable." So clearly, they had crossed paths sometime previously. That's why I think, that at least initially, Casey was just going along with the whole Charah thing, just to be against Bryce, whereas, later on, he was all in on Chuck and Sarah's relationship.
The episode with Sarah's dad was amazing on so many levels. When Chuck first meets him, the look Jack Burton gives him, he obviously thinks his daughter is running some sort of con (she obviously is, just a difference kind of con). So the fact that by the end of the episode, he realizes his daughter is actually in love with Chuck, says a lot. On top of that, Chuck defends his actions to Sarah on many occasions. And every time he does, she basically says that she wishes her father was more like Chuck, which of course he completely misses.
My one small nitpick of the show is how they handled the other characters being aware of Chuck and Sarah's actual feelings for each other. For instance, Carina clearly knew when she first met Chuck. Yet, the first indication that Casey knew anything, wasn't until the truth serum episode, when he asked Sarah if she had compromised herself. He asked her again in 1x10, and clearly wasn't happy about the situation. And yet, the end of the same episode was the first time he gave Chuck shit about it, seemingly indirectly, in his way, telling Chuck to do something about it. And the fact that Morgan didn't directly point out to Chuck that he knows that Chuck loves Sarah, until after he finds out Chuck is a spy, is a little odd, too. You would expect Morgan to have gotten it before anyone else, except maybe Ellie. I also don't really understand why Awesome was the first outside character to find out Chuck is a spy. Realistically, Ellie should've been suspicious about Chuck's somewhat odd (for him, at least) behavior, throughout the middle of season 2. He goes from giving Sarah the bracelet (2x11), to telling Ellie, "Sarah and I are never going to be anything more than what we are" (2x13), to out of the blue wanting to break up with Sarah, and then at the end of the same episode, completely switching and going to move within Sarah, and then at the end of the very next episode, he does another 180 and isn't going to move out. Seems like Ellie should've been suspicious of why Chuck's attitude about the situation kept changing so drastically. Just minor nitpicks.
Even with all he did to look out for Chuck, when Bryce tells Chuck that Sarah has actual feelings for him, he pretty much comes off as a jealous douche. It probably also made the Charah roller coaster ride go longer than it otherwise may have. I like to think she was going to tell Chuck how she really felt about him, before his speech about how their relationship "would never be real." The way she nervously swallows and shrugs her shoulders before she comes up to him in that scene, would seem to suggest that. And she's clearly devastated by what he says, even though she completely understands where he's coming from. Bryce may have also inadvertently prolonged it by being the one to tell him she wasn't leaving. He essentially tells Chuck to take care of her. That, I think may have contributed to Chuck's decision in Prague, which in turn eventually lead to Chuck and Hannah, and Sarah and Shaw 🤮🤮
A good compilation, but, a bit less focused than your usual work. I think that you could do an entire video from the first couple of seasons where Casey is encouraging them. Or, at least, helping them get together. F'rinstance in the season 1 finale when he lets Sarah go after Chuck and he looks for Pita girl.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it almost seems like Carina would've actually been interested in Chuck too, if it weren't for Sarah. Just the look she gave him and the slight licking of her lips, she wanted him too. So despite being a complete dork, Chuck is somehow a chick magnet.
Well he was a chick magnet. Sarah, Jill, Lou, Hannah. All stunningly beautiful. Yes, Carina would have been in his camp as well but she would have only offered a "spy" relationship. I'm not sure she could have been Chuckified like Sarah.
Tough call. I tend to think he was perhaps a little selfish but ultimately a good guy. Yeah, he wanted Sarah (who wouldn't?) but after Devins speech in the hospital I think he was more selfless than selfish. Just my opinion.
The 10 million dollar bet line was badass

These clips are why Ellie was my fav character in the show. Always supportive of her brother and being there for Chuck unconditionally
They had a great relationship.
And she was the first one to realize Sarah had real feelings for Chuck
@@ErikLeber-td7oj yup, Ellie knew very quickly both had feelings for each other. Casey was not far behind.
Casey lecturing Sarah after she was cruel to Chuck is one of my favourite scenes ever
Yeah, that was deserved. Casey was a shipper.

Gotta love how Casey still calls Chuck a moron, even when he's pushing them together 😂

Favorite line is Casey: “Don’t know when it happened but OUR boy became a man. You picked a good one Walker!”

And check out the video where the jacket is used to symbolize the changing of the guard from dad to Chuck. Very good writing and cinimatography
@@SteveFresca-qk1vdBut did Chuck get the memo? 😂
@@ErikLeber-td7oj I think he did but no doubt it was quickly resended. when Sarah pulled one of her "Its just a cover" moments.

Awesome was the typical bro for Chuck never doubt anything and always tried to lift Chuck to his full potential
Awesome and Ellie were the couple role models.

Big facts
The day my sister tells me who to date and what to do will be the coldest day in hell in history

Good point and that is a good idea and would make a good video.
Ellie and Morgan, co-MVPs of the show
Yes! The whole cast did a great job. The only bad actor was Daniel Shaw. LOL
And Gary Cole was great as Sarah's dad
Maybe I'm wrong, but it almost seems like Carina would've actually been interested in Chuck too, if it weren't for Sarah. Just the look she gave him and the slight licking of her lips, she wanted him too. So despite being a complete dork, Chuck is somehow a chick magnet.

I always thought Carina was just toying with him because she knew Sarah liked Chuck well enough not to mess with their feelings for each other.
@@maryamfazil86But if you rewatch that episode, she scopes him out, even before she knows anything about their situation.
So the question is, would Bryce have told Chuck that Sarah wasn't going to leave, if he weren't dying? 🤔
Tough call. I tend to think he was perhaps a little selfish but ultimately a good guy. Yeah, he wanted Sarah (who wouldn't?) but after Devins speech in the hospital I think he was more selfless than selfish. Just my opinion.
@@SteveFresca-qk1vdAs he told Chuck, he was the only friend Bryce had left.
