This is the 1st thing I'm watching when I get home from work tonight. Honestly, I have more fun watching this than Prison Break and Journeyman is a great way to cap off the evening.

I have been a bit surprised by this show. I refused to watch it with my wife. She was up to episode 3 and said I should try it out. I watched the first 3 episodes and can now at least sit through the episodes without wanting to get up and walk away (I am looking at you carpoolers).

Just keeps getting better and better.
Loved the Leia bikini.
No "Awesome", just "outstanding"; that wasn't right. "Can I show you my snake?" Just truly enjoying this show.

My favorite episode thus far. The Morgan stuff was not cringe-inducing as usual. The mystery part worked. Captain Awesome was back in a fig leaf. The Sarah/Chuck stuff entertained me and I even liked Adam Baldwin who seems superfluous most episodes.

I think they had Captain Awesome lay off the awesomes tonight because they knew everyone else would be saying it about the episode.
Something that wasn't particularly noticeable that I just got a kick out of was John sitting there with his portrait of President Reagan right next to his chair while he does his surveillance.
How hard is it to get a 3-digit display for that bomb? If you're gonna do the Goldfinger thing, do it right! And A View to a Kill? Whoever wrote this episode is seriously lacking in taste if they have Chuck loving A View to a Kill.

Another fun episode. I swear that was probably the most screen time and dialogue that Captain Awesome had this season.
at Captain Awesome's "Adam" outfit.
I'm hoping NBC will order the back 9 episodes soon. But, with the WGA strike probably happening before the week is up, it's probably dicey at best.
I don't know how many of you watched What about Brian, but I thought it was kind of ironic that Sarah Lancaster was a doctor on that show as well as Chuck.

Yeah, Ive been really enjoying Chuck as well... It will be interesting to see how the show evolves if/when they start doing longer arcs and not just adventures of the week.

Morgan: When I was 12, I used to hide under Ellie's bed so I could watch her undress
Captain Awesome: Excellent
Captain Awesome: Excellent
The whole "Captain Awesome makeover" scene was great.
Sarah's Leia outfit
The shout-out to "The Countdown" episode of The OC (Chuck running to the Halloween party to meet Morgan in slo-mo with "Dice" as the background music) had me

Didn't sound like Chuck was gushing about A View to a Kill. I think he said something like "bold choice"—as in, not necessarily a compliment. Then when he got to choose he picked Goldfinger.

My wife is really starting to enjoy this show now, too. She was kind of 'meh' about it during the first few eps, but now she is definitely on board.
The return of Awesome was top notch.
And they should come up w/ an excuse to put the girls in costumes every week.

I like that they are keeping this show light hearted and not to serious in tone. I also think that it works as a nice compliment to Heros, because of its lighthearted nature.
Good episode, my favorite part was with Captain Awesome and Morgan.

This was the first episode where I really bought into Chuck and Morgan's friendship without Morgan annoying the crap out of me. Several good scenes in this episode that had me LOL.
