Ahh, so
chuck got the intersect back, so what was the whole "Your father never wanted you to see this" scene about? I thought chuck's dad never wanted him to have the intersect, why would he also never want him to see some device that blocks the intersect? This is weird, I thought the blue thing was going to unlock some new knowledge/power in chuck.

I guess it remains to be seen, but right now their playing it off as "Oh, it just blocked the intersect" seems like they forgot what they wrote in the script earlier.

WTF? I like what you did there with the white letters!
 
the Die Hard references with Morgan were funny

yeah, i would have really liked it if he was able to get out of stuff himself, even without the intersect.
 
starting with "come with me if you want to live" all the way through to "yippikiyay" made it another awesome ep.

So what did you think of last nights episode? Is it on par with the others you've seen?

I didn't see it. I have watched every episode till the end of last season and didn't know it came back on. I will watch all the new ones on line. I'm a big kid.
 
Completely forgot about Chuck until I saw this thread. Need to catch up on last season :O
Fun show!

What does that mean, exactly?

Chuck has been progressively doing worse each season. I personally blame it mostly on a crappy time slot as the show is really good.

I read somewhere that the only reason it has been renewed for this season was because some other series didn't pan out.

That being said, I hope they don't end with a cliff hanger. Tie stuff up, please.

BTW, I still don't know what the whole "Your father never wanted you to see this" thing was all about. Chuck's dad wanted him not to have the intersect.

So what constitutes a good "rating" if 1.5 constitutes a bad one? I have no idea how those ratings things work, and I'm still confused on how they think they can establish said ratings.

Beats me. I've long tried to understand it myself. I just know that a rating below 2.0 isn't great for a major network in that timeslot (NBC at 8pm eastern).

Chuck had been hovering at ~1.8 for a while, and has been steadily declining to a 1.5.

This might explain the ratings :

Yep, I totally agree. What's funny, is that nearly everyone I introduce the show to, loves the show. Too bad, that doesn't get reflected in the ratings.

But yea, Chuck suffers from a bad timeslot (competing with House and the CBS comedies) and a lack of advertising from the get go. Since Chuck is a serial, they had to build their viewer base from the beginning, and they never really did so.
