The thing with Papa-Bartowski-as-Orion is that it's so... obvious, in terms of storytelling choices, that you'd think it'd be lame, but it worked! Because Chuck has some kind of magical touch with the execution, I guess? I don't know how even the lame-on-paper and/or predictable plot twists come out right EVERY SINGLE TIME.

But yeah, it's so funny-- I've always loved Chuck but it's always been something I'd fall a couple weeks behind on because it never quite made it to the top of my list. But suddenly it's lighting up my week!
