We are back this week after the election week hiatus.

Chuck bends over backwards to impress an old girlfriend (guest star Jordana Brewster) only to discover the path to her heart leads to a deadly bio-weapon conspiracy.
 
Another week, another Awesome.

This episode deftly wound the entire cast together. It felt like a single show as last episode did instead of like I was channel surfing as the first few episodes this season felt. Jill appears to be going to stay for at least another episode, much to Ellie's chagrin (she's likely more worried that Morgan is stealing her panties now however). I know she will get written out, she doesn't fit in the show's status quo like Rachel Bilson didn't last season. Only question is, how? Particularly since she knows all about his cover and working with the CIA.

The Buy More gang was their usual selves this episode. How many of us have been out on a date with someone we are trying hard to impress only to have a couple of your nerd friends show up, totally bust you, AND ruin your night? Jeff and Lester totally had me in a deja vu moment. Luckily mine didn't involve renting a Ferrari as I didn't have the CIA around to pick up the tab. Morgan, Lester and Jeff's solution to passing their first aid test was unexpected as well as amusing. I do have to wonder though, just how exactly are both Chuck and Casey keeping their jobs there? They never show up at store meetings, show for mandatory training, or even just to punch a time clock on a regular basis. Big Mike HAS to be a NSA plant.
 
I loved this episode a lot. Definitely gets an Awesome from me.

Did you see how sad Sarah looked when Chuck told her that he kissed Jill?! My best friend and I were both so sad!

But here's my very serious question for this season: Where the hell is Anna? She's been in the background way too much this season. Hell, she wasn't even in this episode! Does she not need to pass the CPR test? Is she not still dating Morgan?!

I wondered that myself. How the hell does Chuck keep his job? He and Casey spend more time away from the store than actually AT WORK. If Mike was in on it, why would he have tried to make Chuck manager, knowing he was working with the CIA? :confused:

PS...I loved Casey's "waiter" hair. :lol:

Chuck has been really good this season, and has improved greatly from last year. I'm really enjoying it.
 
Easily my favorite of the season so far. The whole episode was just PACKED with laughs, it had a lot of fun twists and turns, and all the characters were used really well.
 
efinitely my favorite episode of the season so far. REALLY laughed and enjoyed myelf this epiode. Alo on a totally shallow note Jordana Brewster is WAY hotter than the woman who play the agent.

Yikes.. I didn't even notice she was missing and I LOVE her character. She's hilarious.

I doubt they'l kill her. Maybe she'll go to work for the agency and get transferred away (or be hidden for her own protection).

She's major league hot, though ...

She's too hot for the story, I think. Makes it less shocking that Chuck could get a girl like Sarah.
 
After this ep I think Casey is going to be gurgling an entire bottle of Listerine! :guffaw:

And I kept thinking I had seen the actress playing Jill before and I was right. She was Jordana Brewster (who I last saw in "The Fast & the Furious"). She's a major hottie alright, and the glasses just amped up the geek hot factor more. :)
 
Another awesome ep, man I love this show. And Casey as a waiter with the funny hair was absolutely hilarious. :guffaw:
 
Awesome!

That's right up with the best this show has ever done. Incredible how much story they can spin off from such a "thin" premise.

I don't know what was scarier, the All CIA Restaurant or Casey's Shaggy disguise.

My guess: Jill's from Fulcrum!!! Sarah will have to save Chuck from Mata Hari!!!!! :p

Was this episode shot before the Sarah Palin furor? Just askin' cuz of the glasses...
 
SHE'S A FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE...

Why didn't anyone tell me that Yvonne was from Oz?

I'm adding her to my list of infiltrators. I'm beginning to think that American Actors in American TV shows are becomming tokens.
 
I am debating buying Chuck on Blu-Ray. It came out today. I have an hour until Best Buy closes.
