An Old-Fashioned Tag

I don’t think the producers of Chuck have been reading my pleas for them to become more old-fashioned in their story structure, but last night’s episode, intentionally or not, was one of the episodes that brings back the idea that an hour-long drama could have a tag scene at the end. That is, the plot was satisfyingly resolved with a few minutes left to go, and the final “act” was not really an act, but just an easily-detatchable scene that contains some light comedy and ends the story on a happy, smiley tableau.
