Where else was the Chinese woman from? She looked so familiar.

I enjoyed the episode tonight. The final scene with Chuck and his sister was really nice.
As for the freeze frames in the fight scenes, I did not care for them at all. It almost looked like a glitch because they did not commit all the way and it seemed to have been more of an afterthought in post.

Good episode though, I was sure there would be another reference to Sarah's spastic colon at the end of the episode, but no dice.

Actually they have mentioned him being kicked out of Stanford and his girlfriend leaving him. It was because of Bryce (Chucks college roommate and Sarah's ex) that he was kicked out. Apparently Chuck had some copies of tests and Bryce ratted him out. I believe it was th esecond show where it was covered.

Decent episode, the weakest so far, but still very enjoyable.
Loved the interaction with Ellie and Chuck, though I do miss Capt. Awesome.
Solid story, great action, and plenty in between.
I really like this show, hope it sticks around.

Anybody else notice the wheel chair guy's name was "Ben Lopan" or something similar? And that the wheel chair guy was the same actor who played Lopan in "Big Trouble In Little China"? Man, I gotta stop watching so much TV/Movies.

Ok, maybe its just me .... Do Chuck and his sister stare at each other too much and for too long. When she smiles at him, it's just a bit north of creepyville.
Should Chuck do his own sister? I think we need a poll.

Joshua Gomez needs to go. He ruins the show for me. This was a weak episode. The whole mother's day/sell or be fired garbage did not ring true especially as the sister had been promoting Chuck's relationship with Sarah. The writers need to ditch Morgan and put Captain Awesome on full time.

I really liked this episode. The scenes between Chuck and Ellie were sweet and brought a smile to my face I've only seen a few episodes of Sarah Lancaster's previous work on What about Brian, but I really like her and she's done a great job as the supportive big sister.
There were some really good action scenes as well. I think the show has a very good balance between Chuck as the spy and trying to keep his normal life.

I wonder how much the producer's had to pay Hall & Oates for that small snippet of "Private Eyes." That was a pretty funny scene.

Creepyville, population 2.
They need Captain Awesome back, because it's not nearly as noticeable when he's around.

The fight scene choreography is decent enough that they don't need to use gimmicks like the freeze frames. I hope they don't do it again.
Part of me hope that the sister finds out about Chuck at some point, because it could get old if every other episode has a scene where "Chuck makes plans with Ellie, Chuck gets called away at last minute on mission, Chuck has to make excuse to cover"
I don't want Morgan to find out, because I don't want his character to be upgraded to "wacky sidekick" (which is what is ruining Reaper for me with Sock)
