In episode 18 of Chuck Season Four, Sarah worries that the CIA is replacing them with Casey’s extremely efficient team, but Chuck considers himself irreplaceable with the Intersect.
Its funny-we joke a lot in our house about replacing each other- if my back hurts, for whatever reason, my husband chimes in “time for a new mommy!!” and we wall laugh. I’ve never been really “at risk” of being replaced, but I can imagine that in many fields of work, this is a very real feeling and fear for most people, especially with all of the new technology and information available. I would think people feel a lot of pressure to keep up with everything possible- technology, data, training and techniques- so much so that perhaps they aren’t able to focus on the job they are supposed to do?
On the flip side, we ALL know people who never seem to be bothered nor threatened- they just have the confidence they will be fine. It seems like Chuck is like that in his confidence that he cannot be replaced!!
In season four, the geek gone spy is putting everything on the line, available for pre-order here: http://bit.ly/r3n2er!
