Yes! Looking forward to tonight. I've watched the reruns for the last couple of weeks and I especially enjoyed rewatching the episode where Sarah goes all Rambo in Thailand (or wherever) in order to find Chuck.

Okay, a screen cap of Sarah as she stood up from the table in the restaurant would be amazing.
Also, who played Lester's would be wife? I assumed I should know her and she looked familiar but I couldn't place her.

Really interesting way to keep Chuck and Sarah apart. More Timothy Dalton and Linda Hamilton. Glad to have this show back.

Even though it's Chuck, I had this fear of someone getting shot at the climax of the proposal ... however, instead of lead intervening, it was plot.

Lame episode. As much as I love Lester, his subplot felt like padding for a main plot where nothing happened. The ending was just, "meh" and I have a hard time believing Volkov will believe it.

BTW, the woman who played Lester's date was Pooja Kumar. I guess she's just an Indian model/actress.

Why would Sarah go thru all that trouble to find out about Chuck's proposal, NEARLY go thru with it and then back out via the setup?? Couldn't she just have talked to Chuck back at home about it? It's not like there were any of Dalton's team around to verify she's been arrested.

hate to say it, as I've always been a big advocate of this show (yeah, I bought the subway sandwiches!), but this feels sooooooooo tired to me now. only solution I could see is LESS Chuck/Sarah, MORE Casey/Morgan.

Agreed. I'm kind of hoping they put this dog out of it's misery if it's going to be corny week after week. My daughter loves the show so I stick with it but I was actually getting frustrated with this weeks episode and just wanted it to end.

I've never liked Morgan, so I'd hate more of him.
Given the preview for the next episode, it seems like there will be plenty of Sarah.

I think as they've stripped out a lot of the support characters (not as much Awesome/Ellie, much less Jeff-ster), it's led to too much Chuck/Sarah.... especially as Chuck is much more serious and less of a slapstick type character then the early days. Also with the whole father storyline in past seasons, the mother storyline just seems like a re-hash of the same (even if it is a slightly different angle)
