    Am I the only one who hates John Cusack with the fire of a thousand suns? He's such a terrible, horrible, pathetic actor, movies have to be excellent just to be watchable with his stink infecting them. #hottubtimemachine

    Didn't College Humor have an ongoing webseries about a group of 20-somethings traveling in time inside of a bathtub? #hottubtimemachine

    I really think that Crispin Glover is so bizarre that it sometimes loops back on itself, popping him up in movies like this, Back to the Future, or Charlie's Angels. The number of non "What Is It?" movies an actor shows up in is a good litmus test for how much of the weirdness is an act. Oh and this movie looks hilarious and John Cusak's twitter posts deserve a Crispin Glover movie of their own. #hottubtimemachine

    This just goes to show how much I don't understand the studio system. Why do you start a movie with only 60 pgs of the script and rush for it to get made? Is that not ONE hard-R completed comedy script out there that would work? It just seems like the studio is desperate to crank out a raunch comedy after the success of "Hangover."

    Then he added:

    "Still, it was more than what I had to work with when shooting 2012. The director just threw us all on a trampoline in front of a green screen and handed us a note that said 'Earth goes boom'."

    Maybe Sarah will end up with the Intersect in her head.


    But I'm afraid it will be the Chuck in order to save Sarah you have to put the intersect back in your head plotline.

    @twophrasebark: It's tempting to go with this, but there's a couple of plot points that may make that difficult. For one thing, there was no mention of rebuilding the Intersect (again) after it was destroyed by Fulcrum at the end of the first season. Now, this isn't insurmountable--the writers could easily say, "Oh, by the way, the CIA has rebuilt the Intersect." Given the time-sensitive nature of the finale (at least from what I've seen of the previews, it mostly takes place during the wedding day), it seems impractical for Chuck to travel to wherever this new Intersect location is, download the Intersect into his brain, save the day, and make it back to Ellie's wedding in time. Then again, he's Chuck, so he may very well do that.


    I am very much hoping that instead we'll see something we aren't anticipating (at least not fully) in terms of a setup for the season 3 arc. I wouldn't be distraught if they kill off one of the main characters (I would wager Chuck's father), but I doubt they'd kill off more than one, lest the show veer too much into darker territory.

    Yeah. I think the Intersect is still in his brain. It's just turned off.

    Ah, this ep was fantastic. Awesome was predictably awesome (taking Casey out with his own Reagan bust?), all of the different threads of family, work and spyhood braided together perfectly. All of the characters actually reacted true to form, and I was grinning the whole time.


    If NBC is stupid enough to let this go, someone else HAS to pick it up, it's insanity to let it go to waste. USA? SciFi? Anyone with a pulse?

    I have to say that Chevy Chase was surprisingly good as the evil nutjob in this one. I didn't really buy into the character in his first appearance, but he absolutely nailed it here. Maybe he has a career renaissance as a comic book villain ahead of him; I bet he could do as good a Lex Luthor as Hackman or Spacey.

    "Chevy Chase's surprisingly believable evil-Bill-Gates"

    Maybe you're a Mac person in denial, but it was pretty clear in earlier episodes that he was supposed to be Steve Jobs.

    @Garrison Dean:

    He's an amalgamation of both, the crazy cultlike fanaticism of apple fanboys, and at the same time the evil nature of microsoft. Remember Roark stole all of the technology from Chucks dad, very bill gates. He's not one but both of them.
