Looking foward to watching this. Hopefully the ratings will start to go back up a bit.

I was a little underwhelmed by the end of the episode. It had far too much of a "mile away" feel to it. (Then again, maybe more than the last 10-15 did and I'm just not as bright as your average television viewer.)
Loved Casey in action, though. Thought it was a pretty good episode as well, beyond the telegraphing.

OMG, I was going nuts with all the vintage Star Wars stuff. My wife kept telling my to shut up about it. Loved what they did at the end with Han and Chewie.
If anyone could get some good screen caps, I'd appreciate it.

I blinked near the end and didn't see what the locket revealed. Did she get an Intersect or something?

oh, and I like how Casey kicked some ass, but I wish that scene was shot better... just having him sitting there... would have been awesome if they had him ducking behind trees, and doing some rolls and stuff....

Yep good episode IMHO. The beginning was great and reminded me of old Chuck eps. I also liked how Casey got to save the day in this one. Unfortunately this ep made Sarah seem a little weak (thrown from a horse and she is down for the count) which is out character for her but oh well.
I do agree that end could be seen from a mile away. Could have been worse I guess.
Chuck and Morgan stuff was great. A little sad but necessary. And yes the classic Star Wars stuff was great. Heck I even enjoyed the Ellie and Awesome stuff this week (anyone who is a parent can understand this one). Also Jeffster was used for just the right amount.
Lastly I know everyone will be talking about Sarah's V-Day costume but frankly I think she looked amazing in the black dress at the party. Very classy.
Overall a good bounce back from last week which I thought was pretty lame.

Really enjoyed this ep. Ending was telegraphed, but the execution was ok. Why isn't Volkoff's daughter a regular somewhere, definitely cute.
Seems that we are not done with Volkoff Industries.

Did Alex and Morgan's "energy exchange" remind anyone else of Jessica Rabbit and Marvin Acme playing pattycake?

I was so sure the actress playing Vivian was Claire Danes from T3!!!
The action sequences do leave something to be desired on Chuck. I recently saw "Modern Warfare" of Community and the action sequences there were loads better.

They definately upped the action in this one but the production values were lacking. Even though the laocket was a dead giveaway it was a very fun episode.
