Not yet, they won't announce that until April or May.

Easily one of my favourite episodes of the season... Great ending on all fronts (Chuck explaining the situation to Ellie, Sarah watching them take out the photos etc. and Big Mike and Morgan's mom!) "Dude, you're banging MY MOM!" I laughed my ass off at that part.

Interesting feedback on this one. For me:

- McCarthy still looked good
- Brian Thompson looked pretty rough
- Richter was wasted
- the climax with the Fulcrum agents getting brainwashed looked very B-movie & the scene was cringe worthy for how bad it was
- Morgan... 26?
- Overall the whole episode just felt 'off' for some reason. Wasn't bad, just kinda 'meh. I enjoyed the Third Dimension episode more.
- I will agree that it had a great ending with Chuck/Elle, Big Mike/Morgan, and Sarah watching them take down the photos.

Yeah, that was bad. If Sarah can just cover her eyes, can't the Fulcrum agents do the same.

The way I explained that to my wife when she asked was that they weren't expecting it, and once the download begins you are kind of stuck... kind of like grabbing onto a hot electrical line - your muscles tighten and you physically can not let go.

And there was an audio component...Chuck covered Sarah's ears. So I was ok with them getting "caught" right at the beginning.

Or like Chuck seeing the Intersect email in the pilot.

Couple of good lines but I liked the 3D episode better. I did not enjoy seeing Jenny McCarthy in High Def and Brian Thompson was even worse.

I liked this one better than the 3D episode. The plot was better and I didn't get a headache. However, as good as the kitchen cooking scene was the bedroom scene dream trumps it!

I thought the emphasis on their relationship and what type of life they could have is a very good story idea. Most shows aren't in the situation to pull something like that off. It also allowed the ending conversation with sis to tie in nicely.

I assume we'll be building up to the wedding at the end of the season?

"Charles Carmichael always comes quickly." Best line on tv this year?

Oh yes, still impressed how this show can take you from such a funny scene - Big Mike/Mama Morgan - to a somber scene - Chuck/Ellie scene.

And where's Awsome and Anna?! At least Anna received a mention.
