Fan-fucking-tastic episode. Definitely best this year, and probably in the top 3 for the entire run. It definitely felt like a finale. Chuck was on his game and I loved the constant reminder that Papa Bartowski is with them in spirit.

Coming into this year I couldn't imagine not having the Buy More as it kept the show light hearted, but the plots at the BM this year have been totally phoned in. With Morgan on the team, Awesome on semi-regularly and Chuck still his nerdy self, the three of them are providing all the laughs already. Jeff & Lester are now detracting from the show. I wouldn't be disappointed to see the Buy More go if the show makes it another year.

Not to mention they do pretty well sneaking in sight gags and nerd references that the Buy More seems like overkill now. Take the photo of Volkoff that Frost uses on her phone. Hysterical. Then they had Volkoff, the ultimate bad guy licking on an ice cream cone this episode. It was funny to see.

All that being said, I did enjoy Lester's dig at Coldplay and then he turns around and performs Salt n Pepa.

I think killing off Papa Bartowski was a mistake. There was a lot of unexplored potential there. Bakula should have been made a lead character.

Agreed. He had the nerdy quotient that Chuck did but the experience and the brains to make it all work. They could have kept Chuck the screwup insterad of Morgan. Even if he was only a recurring character I loved the possibilities he presented
