I thought it was the best episode of the season, which I'm sure had everything to do with everyone back in their normal roles now that Morgan doesn't have the Intersect.

Loved this episode. While it was great having everyone back and interesting to see what Decker does, I thought the absolute best part was the Buy More Awards party.

Wait, scratch that. The absolute best part of not only this show, but the series, was watching Lester get arrested. I know it won't last, nor will Jeff's conversion, and the series will end with a Jeffster reunion, but if Lester is gone for a few episodes, I'm eternally grateful for it.

Really solid episode. I love how they can go from the ridiculously silly stuff like Lester piping exhaust into the break room, to dark and serious like Casey taking out the Viper and her goons without hesitating in order to protect his family.

The Casey-Morgan scenes were great, especially when he gave him the Indiana Jones movies. "No, there's just the three of them."

I found the Lester arrest a very interesting development. The final scene with the whole "family" was also interesting. They are definitely rolling to a conclusion.

Awesome episode.

Casey taking out the Viper and the group of assassins was badass.

Richard Burgi has been a very cool nemesis to Chuck and the team. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

at Lester trying to poison Jeff with Carbon Monoxide....Loved Sarah stopping and looking puzzled.

at Jeff getting Lester arrested for attempted murder.

I also thought Sarah's speech at the end about family and friends was nice.

If anyone is curious, the next new episode is December 9th and they will run straight through with no more interruptions until the 2 hour series finale.

I just realized Viper was Dani from "The Shield". That was bugging me until I finally figure that out.

The season, while far from over, has been a nice little regenesis, at least in terms of the story line and all the ways they could have gone wrong. Hopefully Chuck will regain the intersect, although I could see that not happening until the finale, a la seasons 2 (with Chuck) and 4 (with Morgan). Wonder how they'll end it up and also if they'll leave any loose ends and end with another cliffhanger, just in case there's life for Chuck on another network. (Although, after all the "will they", "won't they" about being picked up EVERY single season-end/off-season, I'm not sure that everyone involved doesn't just appreciate what it was and move on.)

I'm only for continuing if they're able to keep breathing new life into it. (I don't know that beating Decker could stay interesting for too much longer, or that returning to work for Beckman could be a line for season 6, but their "case for pay" story is working pretty well, so far.)

The party at the end definitely gave me the "this is the last time this group will be together" feeling.

I didnt like the first 2/3 of the episode, but really digged the last third when things got serious. Chuck and Sarah and the bomb scene was very well done dramatically. And Casey at the end

What a fantastic episode! This season is really reminding me of season 2. Sure some plot points feel rushed like season 3, but I also feel like they have been developed more thoughtfully.

I really enjoyed the nerd moments, and how that was brought about by Chuck/Morgan discussion. I also thought the moments of Casey messing with Morgan were great too.

While I feel bad for Morgan concerning Alex, I'm of mixed feelings. Sure he's continually been screwed over by females in his life, so I hope they resolve things. Yet at the same time I hope things aren't that simple.

Bad ass Casey from season 1!!

I hope Jeff doesn't get "fixed". Maybe Jess, Lester and Mike go run a Buy More somewhere else at the end of the series.

Baby yoga.

Nice unexpected cameo by Sarah's old Nerd Herd outfit.

Okay, I can't seem to find recent Chuck episodes at any of their old haunts – specifically Comcast's "On Demand" service, Hulu, or the NBC website. If I missed it, anybody know where I can catch it?
