Chuck's Tony Hale? How about Arrested Development's Tony Hale?

I agree with the fact that he is totally Arrested Development's Tony Hale.

Also, wasn't spilling soda on the keyboard what gave us Freakazoid? I'm confused, science. Which one is it? Crazy-powers or psychic-powers? Because I was planning on spilling a can of Pepsi Throwback on my keyboard at work today, but not if it only lets me read minds. That's a waste of a good keyboard. Well, a working keyboard, anyway.

@superberg: No, you're thinking of The Pepsi Syndrome, where Jimmy Carter and a cleaning lady became 50 ft. tall b/c they spilled Pepsi on the controls of Three Mile Island (original SNL cast).

I admit it's not the best show out there, but I watch it because it's amusing, and they never stop with the geek jokes, like the Vogon poetry and the Dune sandworm. It makes me laugh, and it's definitely better than season one. My favorite, by far, was Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer. I couldn't control my laughter when they started playing "The Touch" when Jeff was warming up. Classic.

I really like this show but arc seems to be a bit strange in my opinion. Chuck grew a lot since the last season. He seems to be a bit more accepting to being an agent and all but I don't think it was really necessary to make Jill also an agent. Although it would make sense for her and Bryce to be involved since they were both undercover in multiple ways.

In theory, the list that was shown was supposed to be a list of CIA agents who work with Fulcrum, why didn't Chuck flash on her? Or is his ability controllable? Also, would it be too much to ask to give Chuck some offensive/defensive training?

@sum47: Because she's ultra super secret hidden behind the curtain deus ex machina spy.

Didn't realize Brewster was in this. Now I have to watch it. Cause DEBS was awesome.

All this banter, and absolutely no talk of Yvonne in wet undies?

Wow... you all fail.

Except the ladies. Unless you swing that way.

@AmishJohn: You know they air most, maybe all television shows for free, which download as they happen. Its actually technology which has been around for quite a while believe it or not. Its called Television.

As for the undies, it most definitely happened. And it was awesome.

I'm not willing to spend the time watching the whole show; just the naughty bits. That way, the sound can be off so I don't have to put up with contrived humor.

I just find their chemistry horrendous. I mean, this entire episode, when you saw chuck and sarah together, there were sparks, even with her being filled with remorse and chuck ignorant to it.

But when chuck and Jill were together... gross. Really, I think this whole cast has great chemistry, that it makes Jill's lack of it so much worse.

I have been loving Chuck this season. Giving him the Charles Carmichael alter ego has helped make him not such a shrinking violet/tool. The supporting BuyMore plots have been hilarious and they have a very funny cast who they give their own space, not just as foils for Chuck's current dilema. Capt. Awesome needs to play Capt. America btw, and Jeff's a trip. LAst year I watched this out of boredom and because it was occasionally good, but paled in comparison to Reaper. Now, Reaper isn't on (why?) and Chuck has become one of my favorite shows. Thats all. anywhoo.

@Grrsn Dn: Yeah, I love Chuck for its stupid fun. Plus the characters have definitely grown on me.

Reaper has a confirmed 2nd season. But they just have to start pumping out episodes!

February, boys. Be patient!

And I liked Brewster. But since this show is reasonably popular, I guess the snark is de rigueur.

i'm definitely not thrilled with jordana brewster's performance. i watched last week and this week back-to-back and was pleased that they didn't drag the whole "omg, my ex-now-current-gf is a baddie!"
