This episode was to be the season finale, until NBC added on another six. The show takes a small hiatus after this week, and returns with 6 new episodes starting April 26th.

Yes.


It's hilarious how Zachary Levi, Adam Baldwin and Joshua Gomez claim Yvonne Strahovski is flatulent. That starts around 5:45 -

That tweet's an understatement. I'd say the episode has .

I'm hearing nothing but great stuff about tonight's episode. :banana:

And that picture is just great. :lol:

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

I find it utterly ridiculous that this show, yet again, needs to be "saved" for a fourth season renewal. (I mean, it could just be a ratings ploy, but it wouldn't surprise me to see NBC can it either, at least with all the "press" out there. If they did, NBC would only be useful for Sunday hockey at this point. Oh, and SVU.)

First of all, for the ratings it's pulling in against such heavy hitters, I think NBC would be crazy to not renew. Secondly, as I've watched the (and still DVR) the CBS comedies and House (and don't plan on ever watching DWTS), I don't see how Chuck hasn't gotten more viewers, other than some folks are so invested in the other shows, they just can't break away. (I guess how I am with Grey's Anatomy; I should've left that show a long time ago.) Then again, there's no accounting for taste. ;)

Really looking forward to the show tonight. (I try not to follow along too closely as to not hear/read any spoilers, so I'm not sure; did they have this episode finished before NBC gave them the extra 6 or not?)

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

They did - it was originally going to be the season finale.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Thanks. That's what I thought I read, but I usually try to keep away from reading anything that remotely looks spoilerish.

(Thanks to all that spoiler tagged their above posts!)

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Looking forward to it.

It's on the bubble once again because people with the box aren't watching this live. I understand the most Americans hate watching commercials, but that's the only way a show like this can stay on the air.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Unfortunately, Monday at 8 is not a good time for some fans, including us. If it weren't for the box or the net, we wouldn't be able to enjoy it in a timely manner.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

It's a trap!

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

damn thunderstorm warnings breaking into the show!

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

ROFL at Morgan channeling Yoda... "No, there is another."

great episode... certainly had the feel of a season finale (which it was meant to be)...

I love this show, and I love that Casey is back, and that he lobbied to get Morgan onto the team.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Loved the shot of Casey calling the General at the end with the Ring director.

Figured Chuck's first kill would be to save Sarah. I'm glad they've gotten that out of the way.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Great episode. They brought back all the humor with a vengeance and still had the action and suspense. Looking forward to the next arc in a couple weeks

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Well, the second part hasn't happened yet, but saw it coming from last week.

This was a great episode. At first, I thought they'd make him a double double agent, but nah, they just killed him.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Oh, man, Casey's going to be Morgan's trainer. Awesome! Papa Bartowski is coming back as well! Can't wait.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

i am so pissed off right now! my wife and i just sat down to watch chuck while eating dinner and there was some sort of error message on our directv dvr and there was no show to watch! evidently our local station is having some sort of issues with their hd because they still aren't showing anything on their channel. ARGH!!!!!!!! now we have to wait until tomorrow....what time does hulu usually post shows?

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Very good episode, even if much was seen coming.

I wonder, though, now that all the people that were ready to boycott if Chuck and Sarah didn't get together, are going to like where the next arc goes. (If the show continues to next year, it'll probably get to the fifth season, due to syndication, IIRC, so how do they keep them together for two more seasons and keep the show fresh.)

Should be an interesting last 6 shows. (In which to run with the "finale" and turn it into something else. Do they do another "finale", just in case, or leave it cliffhanger-ish for season 4? I mean, SOMEONE has to pick it up if NBC drops yet another ball, right?)

***Nice. Guess I should stop coming back in here.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

I believe the producers have said that the new season finale would not work as a series finale. Whether NBC cooperates is another matter, of course.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Might want to spoiler that...some people get uppity about previews.

I hope Sarah didn't ruin the cords of all those vintage videogame controllers.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Zachary Levi got to kill Superman. ;)

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Chuck and Sarah finally getting together seemed a little anticlimatic even though I'm glad that its finally happened now.

VERY HAPPY that Morgan has now officially joined team Bartowski. Wonder what his code name will be. Griminator? Grimelock?

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

I thought it worked fine. I'm glad Chuck finally got to see The Eiffel Tower and nail Sarah.

I thought it was an excellent episode and a great end to Chuck 3.0. Can't wait to the end 6.

Why did Brandon Routh always look like he just got finished crying? It always seemed like his eyes were extremely watery.

Awesome that Morgan is a part of the team now. Beckman's face when she saw Morgan in castle was priceless.

Let's hope there's some gratuitous bikini/underwear shots of Sarah in the end run. This season has been severely lacking.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

That, and pulling a Rancor Keeper and Lando Skiff Guard figure out of his locker when he was cleaning it out had me :lol:

I agree. I hated the stuff between Sarah and Shaw. It didn't make sense that she would hate Chuck for becoming spy-like, and would be attracted to Shaw when that's exactly what he is. WTF?!?

Thank God that plotline is over. :up:

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

She doesn't have a problem with killers (see Bryce), but Chuck represented something that wasn't from that world. She's still a part of that world (and Shaw was pretty much Bryce 2.0 anyway) but Chuck is her anchor to reality.

To put it simply, she loved Chuck because he WASN'T a killer, but could still be a hero. Which is something she wishes she could do herself.

Not so hard to understand.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

I thought the same thing during that scene! She grabbed that knife and I was thinking, "She's not really going to cut those cords, is she?!"

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Best Chuck episode ever? I think yes. So does them adding on an extra 6 episodes mean we may be getting a 4th season?

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

Extremely predictable, but it was definitely good enough for me to get past that. Looking forward to the last 6 episodes, and Casey training Morgan haha.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

The best episode of Chuck since the Season 2 finale. The only thing missing was a Jeffster performance and I'm betting we see that before the end of this season.

I'm glad Shaw is out of the way and that Sarah and Chuck can be a couple.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that Brandon Routh is a very wooden actor. He's not as bad as Freddy Prinze Jr., but he sticks out like a sore thumb compared to Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez and the rest of the Chuck cast.

In the past few threads, people have been complaining about Yvonne's look. I think they figured out what the problem was because she was breathtakingly gorgeous tonight and I was watching the SD recording on my Tivo! I can't wait until tomorrow to watch the HD recording on my DVR.

Isn't it common knowledge that

I can't help but wonder if Shaw's really dead. Chuck and Sarah not checking the bodies at the Ring HQ seemed like foreshadowing. Heck, Chuck rescuing Sarah from Shaw would make an excellent red test.

I also wonder if Casey recovered the Intersect technical data. When Chuck and Shaw were fighting outside the cafe, a single car drove by and briefly blocked the view for no apparent reason.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

I liked this episode but I wouldn't go as far as saying it was the best ever. The resolution with Shaw felt a little rushed and I thought the ending was a little anticlimatic. It definitely felt like a season finale. But, I am very happy that the "Will they or Won't they" part of Chuck and Sarah is finally over with. It was cool to see that Chuck had the balls to pull the trigger and save Sarah.

Loved Casey with the Ring director and making the deal to get Morgan onto the team.

Looking forward to the last 6 episodes. Hopefully the show doesn't shed more viewers during the 3 week break.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

I think your confusing his statement. He said the season had been lacking gratuitous bikini shots, not that they season is lacking itself.

Re: Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Other Guy" - 4/5/2010
 

They have to keep moving people out because of the reduced budget.
