I was thinking the same thing last night.

That was my thought, too. You know you're good with movies when you can pick up tiny references like that, especially when they're from older titles.

I realize this show requires the viewer to suspend disbelief, but I can't believe there were only 5 people capable of firing a sniper rifle from a couple blocks away.

It said Lolcatted. It's actually the satellite the CIA uses when it wants to put a funny caption with garbled syntax and spelling over the target.

Interesting developments tonight. Strange to see Chuck having to convince someone he is a good guy. We all know where he is coming from, but Hannah is just hurt. Maybe Chuck is finally starting to understand the pain that Sarah (Sam) felt when they started getting friendly.

Enjoying the way Casey is beginning to respect? Chuck and his abilities.

They actually said it was a half mile away. Considering being even a half of a degree off would cause you to miss by yards from that distance, I can believe it. It makes no sense however, since the assassin was able to get from the sniping apartment to Shaw's place almost instantly.

I posted this in the last Chuck thread. The very last few seconds... all those worried that Chuck and Sarah don't face the "love interest" angle head on, obviously have nothing to worry about.

The way he did it was a real dick move. Imagine her having to go back to her parents and tell them that her new boyfriend, whom they were expecting to meet, has just dumped her right there at the restaurant. Way to completely ruin her night, Chuck -- you could've at least gone through with the date and broken up with her the next day.

Great episode and some good laughs.

The scene at the bar had me laughing my ass off. Chuck, the dentist, was fricking awesome.

And yes, Chicken Pepperoni does sound good.

I absolutely love Sarah Lancaster. She is just beautiful and lights up every scene she's in.

Awesome is hilarious. It's funny to see him freak out every time he's forced to lie to Ellie.

The only thing that I didn't like was the way Chuck broke up with Hannah. It felt really abrupt and she has been so nice to him the entire time they knew each other.

It was funny seeing Louis Lombardi (Edger Stiles from 24) again.

It does if he's related to Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

I agree. Total dick move. Sorry Chuck, you are no longer the nice guy in that situation. The whole scene felt rushed like he had somewhere else to be. I expected him to pop in on Shaw and Sarah.

Definitely the best character trait they could have added to Devon. After two years of seeing/hearing about him being awesome at everything he does, it's hilarious to see him struggle with something as simple as lying.

I think of him first and foremost as Skip, the FBI agent working with Bug Pussy in the Sopranos, so it was fun to see him with Paulie Walnuts.

He looks like he's lost some poundage since S5 of 24, too.

"Um, I don't know..." Awesome is so awesome.

The bar scene was great. I think the "old school" customers and atmosphere really added to the scene itself.

Big Mike, Jeff and Lester making Gumbo. 3 wise men?

I agree that Chuck's move was blatantly unChuck, but I think it just adds to his realization that he's losing himself. He even said as much to Sarah in the middle of the bar fight. It's not like her talk with Shaw convinced him otherwise.

However, the more dickish move was Sarah telling Shaw her name regardless of Chuck listening in. Next to leaving Chuck that's the probably the worst thing she's ever done to him even if it was unintentional.

I was pleased with her going back to the cold shoulder with Shaw at the beginning, only to be disappointed at her giving in as the episode went on. I do get it from a plot point, but I guess the 'going through the motions' for plot is tiring at this point. I do question her motives even more at the end though. Wouldn't her remorse at the "Sam" incident have her pull away from Shaw. Instead she runs further into it?

Did anybody else get the feeling that while Chuck's reaction to Sarah being shot was genuine, that instead Shaw's was somehow disconnected? I got the sense that perhaps his wife was killed in front of him and he was reliving her death and not Sarah's.

Here's a recipe for chicken pepperoni I found:
