How timely for Casey's "fantasy target" joke.

Second time that coincidence popped up today. Right before the show came on, I was reading Christopher Farnsworth's new book, The President's Vampire, which came out just last week. Opening scene:

Bin Laden lunged, jaws wide, ready to latch down on Cade's neck.

And before Bin Laden could stop himself, Cade's left hand brought up the grenade and stuffed it in his mouth.

In the same moment, he kicked with both feet and sent Bin Laden flying.

The pin to the grenade stayed where it was, hooked around Cade's finger.

Bin Laden's body spun out into the empty air over the chasm. Then he exploded.

Great fun episode. Tons of good humor and laughs.

When will we hear about a possible 5th season?

They need to have some episodes where Casey goes to the UK and goes on adventures with Hartley's mom

Great episode!
- loved Casey and the old lady
- good use of secondary characters (Ellie, Awesome, and the Buy More gang)
- Chuck and Ellie finally quit lying to each other (for now)
- evil chick was hot--too bad they blew her up
- Volkoff is Agent X = nice way to bring that story full circle

With only 2 episodes left including the wedding in the season (hopefully not series) finale, it doesn't seem like enough time to resolve the whole Volkoff/Bartowski conflict.

Casey and the old lady were great.

Nice twist with who Agent X is

I thought she looked like over made hooker.

Liked the episode although The Jeffster is still not funny.
Can't wait for the two remaining episodes.

I thought the whole Las Vecas thing was pretty stupid and was rapidly getting upset. ("Yeah, like Awesome could be THAT stupid.") Then ended up turning it into something cool though.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the episode 10-15 in, but it really ended up turning into a great show. I actually enjoyed Jeff in this episode, but probably because he was away from Lester.

Maybe my favorite moment of the whole show was when Big Mike hugged Morgan and said "That's it the nicest thing a white person has ever done for me." or something to that effect. I .

Really hoping for some good karma for the show to get renewed and come back for season 5. Aside from the fact that some of us abandon nearly everything to make sure we're there for Chuck, one more season (well, a season of 22 episodes), gets them to 100 and hopefully a solid run in syndication. (I can't really imagine they have anything A) better than Chuck, B) anything that will fare better than Chuck up against House and DWTS. Plus, it would take a substantial amount of time to run anything successful again to get close to syndication numbers and since they're so close, maybe just as a smart business decision. Like everyone else is saying, 2 episodes doesn't seem long enough to wrap up the Bartowski/Volkoff issue and devote time to the wedding.)

Liked this episode.

I was half expecting Jeff to be Agent X. That would have been an interesting turn of events to suddenly turn Jeff into a serious character.

Liked the Agent X stuff, hated Jeff/Lester/Big Mike/Bachelor Party stuff. I hope they have enough time to wrap up the story.

Casey and the English mom was priceless. I understand it's supposed to be a comedy but when Grandma was laying down the machine gun fire, trust me, these people were not going to be popping their heads up. I liked the Vecas trip. They have shown Awesome can be somewhat goofy at times and this one was above and beyond anything else.

I was trying to see if they used a stunt double for doing the actual shooting. The shooter was really shaking from the recoil.

Great episode. Mama Hartley had me rolling, so much so my wife came down and wanted to know what was so funny (she is only on season 2 unfortunately). Good stuff.

Sara with an English accent -- very nice.

Las Vecas -- I thought it was funny and definitely typical Awesome.

Volkoff = Agent X -- Honestly I did not see that coming but a nice twist nonetheless. And anything that keeps Dalton in the mix is fine with me as he has been great on Chuck.

Thumbs Up for this episode for sure.

That's her real accent. She's Australian for anyone just joining and have been too caught up in her hotness to check out where she was from.

Are you sure? Because she did a British accent in this ep and a British accent =/= an Australian accent.

That was not her native Australian accent.

Exactly. I knew she was Aussie and have heard her speak with that accent many times but the English accent IMHO was even better. That's all
