I also loved how annoyed Sarah was with Chuck when he was spying on her at the restaurant and asked how she found him, and she was like, “The GPS in your WATCH!” with an implied “dumbass!” on the end.

I had to rewind a couple of times, but the funniest wee detail in the episode for me is when Sarah gives Chuck his ATM card, he pulls out his VELCRO wallet. You can totally hear the rip of the velcro as he opens it. LOL!

Hey SB – I’m here and I watched and I loved! Gary Cole rocks my world. I am completely with you that he owned this episode. Not that the supporting players, y’know…Sarah, Schnook and Copface weren’t amazing. Because they all were.

As a music-obsessive, this show has quickly become my favourite place to discover new songs and bands. They do an amazing job picking wonderful, perfect-for-the-scene songs that I wouldn’t hear anywhere else. I’ll second the motion for a soundtrack – I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

This show has become the show I most look forward to watching every week. Well, okay, it’s probably tied with Supernatural and FNL but I can’t watch either show until January so Chuck it is! I am completely enamored with the whole cast and the storylines just keep getting better.

As for my take on the ending…if it leaves open the possibility for the return of Mr. Cole, it’s all good with me. Maybe he could come back, help them out with one last case and then pay his time? And, I am dying for an ep where Awesome unwittingly gets caught up in a mission and perhaps unknowingly helps out. I’d love to see a Chuck/Awesome team working together and kicking butt.

Oh, I also wanted to comment to Kimber–I hear what you’re saying on everything working out too neatly for Sarah’s dad, and I can see why you would be meh about it. I think for me, that was saved by it not really being a happy ending, in that Sarah had a lot of loose ends and anger left, and didn’t really understand how her dad felt about her. I mean, yes it sucks that he got away, but in my own personal fanwank (we are going to have to come up with a fun acronym for that and spread it net-wide), he keeps being a con man because that’s all he knows how to do, and he gets caught. Or maybe the CIA sends out someone less involved to bring him in. Either way, in my mind, I don’t think he ultimately gets to just ride off into the sunset or retire to a quiet beach and run a bar out of a hut or something, you know? And obviously, that’s just my opinion … just wanted to add to the conversation.

Where’s Nicole? She should have watched by now!

Can I just tell you all how much I loved that song they played at the end? I actually got off my lazy ass and went and looked for it myself on the NBC website, and there was a little button right there that took me straight to it on iTunes, where I hit click and bought it and I am LOVING it. It’s called Furr by Blitzen Trapper, if anyone’s interested. And you seriously should be. I’m not even kidding–if there was a Chuck soundtrack, I would be all over that and I don’t even buy CDs. Can they put together a compilation and just sell it on iTunes or something? It’s criminal to deprive us of this!

Also, while I was on the NBC website, I noticed that there is a TON of Chuck stuff that I need to catch up on, so I think when they slow down a little in the winter, I’ll write up some of the extras like the webisodes and comics. So if anyone has been procrastinating like me, get ready to rock it out!

Can I just say that this observation of yours, SB, is just perfect and beautiful:
“Chuck feels a lot like that moment just before the first kiss, you know? And I think that universally, that is one of the most loved moments in the human experience, which is probably why we all like Chuck so much.”

I loved this ep, Chuck giving up his coat to Sarah with her dad watching was so lovely. And how much did I love her dad telling her how much the ‘shnook’ loves her.This was prob my fave of the season so far.

Ha ha ha … Captain Morgan. I had to rewind my tape to make sure I heard that correctly … awesome This was another really good episode … though the thing with Sarah’s dad made me feel slightly “meh”. I think it’s just the whole “everything worked out perfectly, and the con isn’t going to jail because he’s Sarah’s dad and she loves him, and the CIA will be okay with her just letting him go”. But that could be just me.

I agree, SB, the casting of Young Sarah was amazing. That little girl looked JUST like Yvonne! I, too, would like to see a photo of Yvonne at that age, because I think she and that little girl could be long lost twin sisters!

And finally … ANNA! I was so happy to have her back. As for the relationship issue … I love Morgan as he is … a very immature adult who lives at home with his Momma. But … I think he does maybe need to grow up and onward. Does that mean being forced to live with Anna when he’s not ready? No, I don’t think so. But I think he perhaps does need to start taking his relationship with Anna a bit more seriously, as she obviously views him as something more serious than a shag buddy.

I would buy a DeLorean any day of the week. So much more awesomer than the General Lee, although I loved that little cap to the storyline.

I think it was a good episode. Ummm, maybe it was just me, but I kinda had to sneak around and watch this episode at work cause my channel showed a Billy Graham Christmas special. What’s up with that?

I agree that I would love to see Morgan with the General Lee. I mean how awesome would that be. And I didn’t even jump ahead to Casey jumping it off a cliff. Ha.

LOVED the episode last night- it was perfect. Cop Face, the Demorgan, the Jeff, Lester and Captain Awesome moment (which was too funny) and of course the Chuck and Sarah moment at the end. I think one of my favorite parts though was when they set up Lichtenstein Enterprises and Chuck talks in the really horrible German accent and Casey whispers “Sounds like Colonel Klink!” LOL

My only wish is that more people were watching the show (not that it’s doing too bad or anything) but still- it’s one of those really great shows that people are missing out on. I’m really excited for next weeks episode now

I am commenting without reading because I just have to say that it is KILLING me not to read this. However, I had to postpone Chuck until tonight and I don’t want to be spoiled. Gary Cole – are you kidding??? Bill Lumbergh himself?? I’m just gonna have to go ahead and not check this site for the rest of the day because my willpower will not hold. M’kay?
