CRAZY EPISODE! On the thirteenth episode of Season three, Chuck is out to save Sarah from Shaw, who at this point we can assume he is “The other guy”.
At times it feels like the tv series has a lot of filler episodes where nothing really goes on and everything is much of the same. However, this episodes completely changes the direction of the season and closes the story arch of what has been developing since the introduction to super agent Shaw.
Chuck season 3 soundtrack has been strong since the very beginning and music in Episode 13 Vs The Other Guy is no exception. The recognizable song that was playing in the background when Shaw reveals to Sarah that she is in fact the one who murdered his wife, is “Kettering” by Brooklyn based indie rock band The Antlers. Their self-released album Hospice generated a lot of positive reviews in 2009 and even found its way onto Top 10 Albums of 2009 lists (NPR Music placed the album in the #1 position for their Top 10 of 2009 list).
And the more cheerful song at the end of the episode as Chuck and Sarah are about to *spoiler alert* comes from the Canadian indie-rock band Plants and Animals titled “Bye Bye Bye”. Plants and Animals was nominated for a 2009 Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year.
