I thought Greta was a baiter. Someone who baits the opposition into exposing their position. In fact she is a master at her craft which would make her a master baiter.

Lots of good stuff in this ep, especially the Buy More scenes, but I had a lot of trouble suspending my disbelief on this one. Things like putting the prisoners in their cells and then removing their restraints? Giving a dangerous spy a foreign object? I just kept rolling my eyes.

And I must be the only one, but I thought Nicole Richie and Steve Austin were frigging terrible. Especially Richie. Anytime she had a line over 4 words long I just stopped believing whatever she was saying. Ugh. Please no more stunt casting for a while.

I'm sure most didn't realize the inside joke of Stone Cold fighting Stacy Kiebler either.

I liked Nicole Ritchie in this episode too; she came off as a nice person.

The GF watched this and told me it was so bad she almost turned it off part way through. I was expecting the worst!

It wasn't a bad episode, but it certainly wasn't great. I don't buy for a moment that Chuck and Sarah would be allowed to interview either of 'their' respective prisoners in such a manner. Also, if these two are so bad how do you only have two people watching them and then Casey in the Buy More?

I was hoping that Chuck and Austin would fall through into the crowd and have them think it was a demo for the game. It would have saved Morgan and Big Mike still could have taken him down because he thought the guy was attacking one of the Buy More crowd. Then again we wouldn't have gotten Big Mike's speech.

I liked the helicopter landing, Casey's spidey sense and the shootout. Would have been funny if his other toe was hit.

I like how Chuck and Sarah are having normal conversations and working through things.

I thought this as well, or the gun-fight and helicopter landing on the roof would somehow be pawned off as some sort of instore promo for the game.

I just assumed that's what happened off screen to explain away the attempted escape, helicopter, gunfire, etc.

Even though I don't watch WWE, that I got.

My wife used to LOVE Chuck. During the first season, I think it was favorite show on television. Now, she's ready to drop it.

I'm not as close to removing it from our DVR as she is, but I'm not enjoying this season very much.

Change your wife for my husband and we have the same scenario here!

Cool, with their love of offbeat references to other shows they have to have at least one Firefly reference in there.

They should have one hybrid reference to Firefly and Terminator

I'm only cool with Summer Glau playing Greta if she gets to kick someone's ass that episode.

this whole Greta character is very poorly executed, was the old spice guy supposed to be Greta too?
