TV Guide says this is the best episode of the series thus far. I've really enjoyed the series and I'm glad it's doing relatively well at the 8pm timeslot.

A really good episode. Thoroughly enjoyed the opening credits.
I found the pace of this one to be very well done. All the elements are coming together. Still not liking Morgan very much, but I am enjoying Big Mike.
Nice to see Casey not being such a pain to Chuck, seems like he almost liked Chuck.
Chuck having to be led in the Tango - very funny.
Still don't know how much "legs" this show has, but I am certainly enjoyed this episode.

Morgan is the singular worst aspect of this show. Well, that, and the fact that Chuck continues to be one of the more whiny characters on television.
In some instances, he's a very affable, charasmatic individual. However, in others, he tends to seemingly cry over everything that's happening in his life. (Well, that, and his obsession with Sarah...)
I think I'll stick around for a few more episodes.

The sister plot thread is groan inducing. It's played true to life (if one has a supportive sister), but it doesn't make for good tv. The weekly "C'mon, Chuck! You can do it! Up and at 'em" talks are boooooooooooooooring. Captain Awesome is great though.
Did anyone else think La Ciudad would make a kick ass wonder woman? She looks like Linda Carter's, younger deliciously ethnic sister.

Oh, and one of the thugs that came after Chuck was the same guy who played Little Chino on the first two episodes of Dexter this season.

So far, the silly premise is still working, and the writing is entertaining. I'm liking this show a lot more than I expected I would. Based on the majority of comments here, I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but Morgan cracks me up. Sidekick characters usually irritate me but he's too much like a puppy to not like.

I enjoyed this episode. I didn't think it was especially better than past episodes, but then I liked them too.
I don't mind Morgan, but I think his jokes are very hit and miss, mostly miss.

Now we know Chuck was kicked out of Stanford when his roomie ratted him out for cheating (though the story still seems kinda foggy).
Finally all 3 spies are on the same team. That alone made this episode much more watchable than the first 2.
Good balance of geek Chuck vs. spy Chuck vs. brother Chuck
The rooftop 'chick fight' was nicely done.

It was another fun episode. Chuck going on an actual mission brought a few laughs for me as well. I really like the developing chemistry between Chuck and Sarah and I think Adam Baldwin is a fucking great!
The scenes between Chuck and his sister don't bother me at all. I think it's good that he has a supportive sister and there interactions seem very real to me.

Wow - last week's episode seemed to get bagged on, but now it sounds like most people really like this show. I couldn't get into it this time because they lost me last week by being sucky... my gf said she thought it was alright.
