I feel like the silly little charming zero to hero story Chuck started out as has been lost through some really convoluted plot points intended to keep the show interesting. Don't get me wrong, I kind of like some of the direction they took the show during season three for the most part, but the whole spying practically being the family business thing is a bit much. His dad making the intersect was already a bit of an eye roller, but now the whole mom thing is pretty groan worthy.

Kind of killed the whole unlikely loser becoming a spy direction the show started with, at this point it feels like it would have been far less likely for him never to have become a spy. College room mate, ex-girlfriend, dad, mom; anyone left in the guy's past that wasn't once involved in espionage? I am just waiting for Ellie and Morgan to become intersects themselves.
