Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows what type of phone RING is using? Is it real? or just made in Hollywood?

Thanks everyone

I agree that Chuck did the right thing in protecting Morgan an that his temporary outburst of emotions helped him work properly again. You’re right, but I was just voicing my concerns on how this could potantially be a huge game changer more than just Chuck having someone to cover for him. His spy life is effecting lives, and thats something we hacent seen so much of before. His worlds are blending, and is that a good thing? Or will the spy life take over completely?

It seems throughout the season, Chuck has become more and more like Bryce. This is inevidable considering he wants the Intersect to work. But in being a spy he has become the person he hashatedfor so many years. Or so we think. With this realization and first season finale coming up, I know I can look forward to seeing the old Chuck again.

Hi Sam:

I read your post and think you bring up a lot of good issues about Morgan’s life being in danger now that he knows Chuck’s Secret. It is possible that Chuck might have made an error in telling Morgan, however when the Ring Agent was threatening Morgan’s life, Chuck had no choice but to be truthful.

I guess Morgan’s life is forever changed, but if Chuck didn’t tell the truth, Morgan’s life would be over. That Ring Agent was ready to torture Morgan and I think it was true to Chuck’s character not to let that happen. I don’t think his Spy training made him THAT unemotional.

To be honest, I was not a fan of Morgan knowing the secret citing some of the reasons you stated above, but I can see the reasoning behind their decision to go with Morgan. I think Morgan is now Chuck’s cover for BuyMore situations. I would think that Big Mike, Lester and others would start to ask questions about Chuck. I made the mistake of thinking it was going to be Lester.

Also, I agree that now the show could go in many different ways. It should be an interesting ride.

My only problem with Chuck telling Morgan is that I’m afraid Mogan will become darker too. There is no doubt he’ll want(or be forced) to get involved somehow. He could end up like awesome or the original Chuck and be afraid and constantly in danger. What ever happaned to keeping everyone safe? Although using Morgan as a sound board may be fine for Chuck, but Chuck just put Morgans life in danger. Just like Bryce had done to Chuck, Chuck is changing Morgans life forever, you can even see Awesomes life changing too.

And another point, one of the fun parts about the show was seeing Chuck and Sarah cover for all the times they go out for a mission. Sarah barely is involved since they “broke up” and now two out of three of his family members already know. Eventually something will slip and Ellie will find out too. Then everyone will know, everyone will get involved, and there will be no one to keep Chuck in check. I love how they restored the lightness to the show temporarily, but depending on how they write the rest, it could go dark again.

I am typically positive about this show so I’ll end on a high note. This situation has so many ways it could go, so many possibilities. I look forward to see the story progress in season 3 and 4!

Of course Imperial Japan never did anything to warrant aggressive retaliatory actions by the USA.

I suppose you don’t consider a sneak attack on a naval base “invading foreign soil”.

I think having Morgan know Chuck’s secret is going to open up new story lines. Where Awesome is now scared of Chuck’s spy life (thanks to Sydney), Morgan will want to tag along–despite the dangers.

I also think at some point, Morgan is going to tell Sarah how much Chuck loves her.

Someone put it this way…. when things are rough – Sarah is Chuck’s kryptonite… but when things are good – she can be his can of Spinach!
The more I see the show – and read through the blogs – the more Shaw seems to be the opposite of Chuck. Stoic, less emotional – quick to embrace a use of violence to resolve a problem and so forth…
I’m dissappointed that Casey hasn’t weighed into the Love trapazoid yet.
I’d have thought by now – he’d have a deeper connection to both Chuck and also to Sarah… and speak his mind about the current romance situaion.
We’ve even heard from Jeff and Lester!
I whole heartedly agree that this EP – was back to the good old Chuck of Season 1 and early Season 2 – It was a complete package.
I am dissappointed that some of the drama and events of the past few EP’s have been left hanging… Some of those things were too big to move past so quickly… Hence Chuck’s inability to Flash.
I loved the reunion with Morgan – but since that wasn’t the cause of Chucks anguish – I can see that it was helpful – but certainly not the cure.
I’m looking forward to finally understanding more of Shaw’s role – and motives… I hope he’s more than just a love interest for Sarah…

I totally agree. Everybody should be allowed to express her/his opinion. I even have to agree to h.g. a bit: in my opinion Chuck went a little downhill since the end of season 2.
In season 3 they pack way to much stuff in each episode so they all are way to hectic. And regarding the Chuck and Sarah thing, I must say that it might be a propblem to “repair” their relationship in a realistic way if they drive them to far apart from each other. But we’ll see…

Do you hear the people sing, Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!
Thank you Andrew Lloyd Webber.

I think the scene in the Buy More was more reminiscent of Les Miserables than Iwo Jima; the Buy Morians were staging a revolution, not invading foreign soil.
