That ending, particularly Sarah's reaction/facial expressions, were so incredible.
I don't see how any idiot at NBC can't renew this for a 3rd season. Truly an incredible show!
(The whole "8 Mile" speech by Jeff at the beginning was great too! And "Jeffster" jamming "Africa" at the end. Can't get much more classic than that.)

I was in tears laughing at that Toto performance. That took balls to perform that song that badly and with such gusto. Kudos to Vik Sahay (I had to look that name up!).

Ironicly, I just went to a wedding where some friends of the groom performed that song just like that. I liked this episode with Sarah/Chuck getting closer after going apart the last few episodes.

You can never go wrong by rocking the Toto.
Of course Organ was a huge Alf fan, weren't we all? I'm just surprised Chuck didn't mention the Bryce/Jill thing when he was listing all the times that Morgan was there for him.

I love this show and this episode is such a good example why. They give you some action without feeling the need to be gratuitous with the violence, they give you some comedy and mix in some heart.
In a day where networks try to be cutting edge and try and push the envelope with language and violence, this show proves none of that is really needed.
NBC would be stupid to not renew it for another season.

From E:
Awww, thanks. I know you fans join me in being a little worried about the future of our favorite dork, Chuck, but Josh Schwartz assures me, "NBC has been as positive as they can without saying we're officially coming back." I'll keep you posted

Very bad news for Chuck. Last night was it's lowest rated episode ever.
6.5M viewers, 2.2 in 18-49 demographic.

Now that was a great episode. Just the right mix of action (Sarah in the car ), heart (Chuck & Morgan, and the bit at the end with Sarah) and comedy (Jeffster & the Toto).
Someone convince me I'm not crazy. At about the 57 minute mark right when Chuck & Sarah walk over to check out Jeffster it looks like a different actress/stand-in for Yvonne. I know it's not crazy to have a stand-in, and it was a quick cut, but my wife and I are on opposite sides of this debate. The dead give away for me is that whoever it is has perfectly straight teeth, which Yvonne does not.

No mention of the remote control awesomeness?
I wonder how much working out Ryan McPratlin has to do. I'm sure the ladies and gay guys like seeing him topless. Just like the straight guys and lesbians like seeing Yvonne in skimpy clothing.
I think more than any other show on television, Chuck has the perfect mix of action, comedy, drama and heart.
Is the general a lesbian? She mentioned having drinks with Condoleeza.

This show continues to bring quality week after week. It's amazing to see how Sarah can be so disconnected - best friend discussion - only to turn around and melt you heart. - her reaction to thinking Chuck was dead.
Guess Anna is still around.
"I'm more afraid of the other 20%" haha
Now this was actually meant to air prior to last week, correct?

If one was to watch Chuck from the beginning and by the time they reached this episode and was still convinced that Yvonne is nothing more than a pretty face, I think her reaction to the Nerd Herder blowing up would convince them that she is a pretty damn good actress. She sold me on the possibility that Chuck could be in there hook, line and sinker.

This show came out of nowhere for me since I got caught up around Christmas. I look forward to Chuck as much as I do for Lost & 24, which is crazy.
