I liked this episode. Not the super best one of the season, but it was fun and had some good development in the plot lines and of course, a favorite of mine....Scott Bakula.

They need some new Buy More folks to step up to replace Jeffster, that story line is getting a bit tiresome

Another great episode!

I can't remember the last time I was happy to see Jeffster on screen. Even Big Mike's getting tiresome. They need Buy More to be part of the spy game again for it to be interesting to visit there.

I'm thinking they need to get away from the Buy More completely now. Where they'd go, I don't know as I suppose Chuck and Casey still need cover of some sort, but then again at this point why bother with that when Chuck is supposed to be a full-fledged spy.
I do like where it seems that things are heading. Chuck's dreams are freaking him out, but they also do seem to be helping him, somewhat in a new ability kind of way which harkens back to how he first had to deal with the intersect being in his head.
It's always nice to see Scott Bakula back as daddy too. Him tossing the knife at Chuck to confirm his suspicions was great as was Chucks reactions to it.
The part that is wearing on me the most at this point is Ellie. She's known Casey for a good while now and knows that he works with Chuck, etc. No, she doesn't know he's a spy, but she knows that he is somewhat trusted by Chuck.
With the apparent ressurection of Shaw, how long until Bryce is back?

Chuck: Dad! Knife! Face! What if you had been wrong?
Dad: I'm never wrong.

As long as Matt Bomer is playing Neal Caffrey on USA's White Collar , it's unlikely he'll be able to reprise his role as Bryce Larkin.
I liked Morgan's reaction to being told about Shaw.
"Did you check for a pulse?"
"Well, he was in a river."
"A river? Well then of COURSE he's alive!"

Yeah, that was cla- wait for it -sic.
Seriously, I am enjoying that they've been making Morgan seem a bit smarter about all of this stuff, and I also loved seeing Morgan sneak down into castle so he could play with the toys (and enjoyed seeing him found by Sarah and so quickly giving up the info to her).

"Haven't you ever seen a John Carpenter movie?"
Not being a spy, myself, I was a bit puzzled by the "Spy Will" concept. Is this something that is commonly done? Seems a potentially huge security breech. If it was something they just made up for the show, then, if I'm being honest, it felt a little bit lame to me.

What's even more interesting is that Chuck didn't know about it. Didn't they teach him that in Spy School? Why doesn't he have one?

I keep waiting for Shaw to be revealed as a deep under cover agent. I just don't buy him at all as a bad guy.

Yet another week with Sarah in nothing skimpy. This show is really letting me down. :)

I see what you did there, or at least I can imagine the effect it had on you. :D

I'm really enjoying these back 6, but the ratings are wretched...I hope we get all 13 that are ordered for next season. It's hard for me to believe all of these "shippers" actually stayed away because of the Shaw/Sarah/Chuck/Hannah stuff that was somewhat spoiled before the season started with all of the love quadrangle talk...

I wonder what else he hasn't been taught.
I liked the scene of Chuck and his Dad kicking butt in the cabin and then Sarah popping in and taking out another one. "Is she intersect too?" "No she is just spectacular" (or something like that).
I do feel bad for Ellie, but as many fans have said in LOST, it's all about communication. If she knew some things (not even everything) she would be better prepared.

I thought Sarah's nightie at the beginning of the episode was pretty nice. ;)

You know, in retrospect, the episode title should have told us all we need to know about Shaw.
That, and any John Carpenter movie.

So, Shawn is like Superman? You can shoot him and he just comes back?
Runs away ducking for cover...

Welcome to the I Hate Ellie club. Ok, maybe I don't hate her but she is seriously annoying.
I wonder how much Morgan/Awesome fanfic was inspired by this episode.

So, mute the sound and just look. Not as nice to look at as Sarah but still not bad.

Man, I must have really fallen asleep through much of this. I don't remember a lot of what you guys are talking about. Must rewatch :)

I liked Morgan asking Awesome about his relationship with Ellie - "run me through a normal day" and at the end, he was smitten with him.

So was I! foot rubs, lavender baths, belgian waffles, fresh fruit from the farmers market, couples massage....it all sounds great.

They don't call him "Captain Awesome" for nothing.

I don't think we have to wait much longer for her to get a clue. She's now a prisoner of the Ring even if she doesn't realize it yet.

And I'm sure she'll find something conveniently left in the office that will let her in on it...

Looking forward to the two hour finale next week. That should be enough time to explain everything to her.

Ellie is a failure of parenting 101. If someone tells you you absolutely must keep something a secret from your nearest and dearest? RUN AWAY!
