"Chuck Versus the Third Dimension" is the 12th episode of the second season of Chuck. It aired on February 2, 2009. This episode was originally aired in 3-D, as the name suggests, using the same ColorCode 3-D technology as some of the commercials in Super Bowl XLIII. When Chuck foils a plan to kill international rock star Tyler Martin (Dominic Monaghan), the agents kidnap the musician to find out who wants him dead. Meanwhile, Big Mike's old football friend Jimmy Butterman (Jerome Bettis) comes to work at the Buy More.

Plot summary

When Chuck foils a plan to kill international rock star Tyler Martin (Dominic Monaghan), the agents kidnap the musician to find out who wants him dead. Later, Tyler convinces Chuck to go out and party with him, but ends when the two are nearly killed by assassins. Meanwhile, Morgan wins a pair of backstage passes to Tyler's concert and holds a contest among his fellow employees, including Big Mike's old football friend Jimmy (Jerome Bettis), to see who gets to be his lucky plus one.

Production

The opening credits feature the addition of graphics in the background, as opposed to plain grey or red backgrounds. Presumably, this is to make the most of the use this episode airing in 3D.

References to popular culture

  • There are several references to the 1994 prison film The Shawshank Redemption
  • There is a reference to The Thomas Crown Affair and Arrested Development with the line "No Touching!"
  • The grenade type, IG-88, is also the name of the bounty hunter droid in The Empire Strikes Back.
  • Dominic Monaghan's rock star role is reminiscent of his role in Lost. When arriving in the Buy More, he says "Hello Cleveland!", a line taken from This Is Spinal Tap, the 1984 mockumentary that satirizes the sort of indulgent behaviour Tyler Martin partakes in.
