Other than the whole Morgansect mess, I actually am liking the season so far. Decker seems like a great foil. There are 10 episodes left, so I hope they return things to normal and get rid of this whole MWO.

Spoiler:
Is Morgan all fixed now?

Love this story arc. It's a shame this is an abbreviated season, they could have some real fun with this. John with a love interest, Chuck his loveable geeky self, even the Buy More crew was tolerable. The twist with Jeff was funny. It was nice not seeing the same five season-worn thin Jeffster. I'm bummed I have to miss next week then I'm guessing Friday after Thanksgiving they usually have Christmas specials on?


Spoiler:
No he isn't. He appears to be in control for now but the interesect is still going to mess with his head. In one of the previews it showed Chuck telling someone about Morgan's intersect and Morgan putting on the removal glasses

Really enjoying this season. The cast interplay was great, as was Awesome's 45 minutes of infantcare

That was awesome. Loved this episode.

Glad to see that douchebag/Intersect Morgan is finally winding down. The kill order on Morgan was a cool little twist at the end.

at Chuck pantsing Morgan at Verbansky headquarters.

at Awesome only killing 45 minutes while taking care of his baby.

Interesting to see Jeff possibly being cured of his weirdness. I wonder how long that is going to last.

I'm also enjoying Decker being the main foil to team Carmichael. And it was good to see General Beckman back.

Looks like Chuck is no longer available for legal streaming online. Do you not have a DVR to record next week? I really wouldn't miss any episodes since this season is so short.

After next week's episode, they are taking Thanksgiving off and returning December 9th.

Chuck is off my Comcast on Demand also. I'm pretty sure it's been available every season before now.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Frosted Tips" -- 11/11/11

Looking at the Chuck facebook page, I've noticed 4 prominent complaints.

1) Why is Chuck episodes not available for legal streaming. Apparently alot of them don't own a DVR, can't watch it live Friday nights or believe it or not, don't own a TV.

2) Hating Morgan as the Intersect....

Spoiler:
But, that will get resolved next week when it gets removed.


3) Missing Chuck as the Intersect, which they said was the whole point of the show.

4) Bitching why this has to be the last season.

They executed the Morgan stuff a lot better in this episode, but I can't wait for this part of the story to end. The change to total douche and then back to normal Morgan after the memory with Chuck was a bit too fast and easy for my taste.

Fun episode, though like everyone else I'll be glad to see the end of the Morgan/Intersect plot.

Carrie-Ann Moss has been great and I really like the scenes with her and Casey. Maybe as the series wraps up, that'll be his happily-ever-after.

As usual, Awesome was awesome.

I was not digging Morgan as the intersect, but now I'm liking where they are taking this
Joshua Gomez is unfortunately a bad actor. I think the worst of the main cast. Jeff/Lester are better played.

LOVED this episode. Definitely the best so far this season. Lots of laughs. I loved the nod to Die Hard with Morgan's best Harry Ellis impression(especially after "forgetting" Die Hard last week). Awesome exhausting 45 minutes was brilliant. Any parent can relate to that. Carrie Ann Moss and Adam Baldwin have some great chemistry. Hopefully they explore that some more before the show is up.

I think the only weak thing in this episode was the overly long flashback to shit that happened last week.

I liked it. I was definitely annoyed with the previous episode, but I like where they've taken Morgan now. It really shows that the intersect only seems to work well for Chuck's brain. I hope they take it out of Morgan and put it back in Chuck soon.

Well, it also seems that the Intersect that Morgan got was a corrupted one as it was not sent by Beckman. It appears to have been designed to destroy Chuck.

How can fans of this show not own technology?

Not my favorite development, but as others have said I like how it's being handled.

Sure, but we'll see how long it lasts. I don't mind a mini-arc of something different going on.

I don't think their complaining is going to change that...
