  1. I’ve enjoyed reading the comments. I believe Shaw is probably back and will help Carmichael Industries take down this seasons villain. I enjoyed watching decker get blown up. Hopefully, he won’t be coming back from that. I do agree with some of the previous posts that he was an interesting villain. I also agree that Volkoff has been the best even though Shaw has done more to Chuck personally.

    I’ve actually enjoyed watching Chuck without the intersect and would be okay if he only got it back at the end. I loved the hack off and the fact that Chuck turned out to be a world class hacker. It might be fun for something to come up in one of the future episodes where the Beckum mentions the Pyrana in a general discussion without knowing that was a monicker chuck went with in his younger days.

    I don’t think Bryce will return but chuck think it would be fun to bring back some of the individual’s (the cat squad, his x-girlfriend, Michael Clark Duncan, the Volkoff family including his mom, the dictator and his wife, etc…) chuck has helped throughout the 5 years and have them help him take down the arch villain this year. I’d also like to see some cameos of chuck enemies. Hopefully, the arch villain will be great.

    One thing I had always hoped I’d see in a Chuck episode was a guest appearance by Chuck Norris, I guess that is not going to happen;(. I would like to see Casey and Vurbanski take down the bad guys togethers maybe go out like the two hardcore marines did in The vents in Aliens. You could even have survive and run off together while everyone else thinks they are dead. That would be dissapointing because I’ve enjoyed watching Casey’s relationship with his daughter evolve and I’d hate to see him die.

    What do you guys think the chances of Big Mike finding out about Chuck and Morgan’s spy life are? You could do an episode where everyone in the Buy More finds out about Chuck’s spy life and rally around him with their unique skill sets to defeat the bad guys but I think this would be reaching and do the show a bit of a disservice.

    They could end the show with Morgan sacrificing himself to save Chuck and his family but I find it more likely that it would be Casey and Vurbanski doing that. I hope not because I would love to see them make a movie about the show….

    Thoughts..

    • Although Chuck is the ultimate NICE GUY, I don’t think the writers could seriously convince the audience that he could forgive Shaw for killing his father. If the writers do that I think it will be a mistake. It’s just too personal an offense to forgive, even Shaw’s use and abuse of Sarah pales in comparison to that.
      Sarah being the ultimate Female Spy is far, far, FAR less forgiving than Chuck will never go for it either. I seriously doubt the writers will have Shaw returning as a “good guy” there to help them.
      Furthermore Shaw has too much hate and violence written into him to just forgive Sarah and Chuck for killing his wife and foiling his plans.
      No, Shaw is coming back as a Villain.

  2. Hi All,

    I have thought abour Shaw’ s return – I think its a good thing!! Shaws return shows how much Chuck’s Character has changed even since Season 3! Remember Shaw’s introduction in Operation Awsome – Chuck was unsure of himself both Personally and Professionally! By reintroducing Shaw it will show how much the dinamic of Team Bartowski has changed also.

    I can see Chuck Sarah and Shaw having to put their personal issues with each other to one side to bring down the “Mastermind” I think Shaw is still an intersect. Chuck will get the 2.0 uploaded/refreshed thinking he has to save Sarah. Sarah will have somehow subdue Shaw before Chuck arrives — Hence the Kiss.Shaw will propose a tempery alliance to take down the Mastermind. I can see Chuck’s intersect and Shaw’s Ring intersect working in conjuction with each other i.e. Different infermation will cause Flashs/Zooms – what I mean is that Chuck will have info that Shaw doesn’t have and Visa Versa.

    The main reason Shaw is there is to show how much Chuck has matured both Personally and Professionally but has retained the qualites that make Chuck a decent person.

    All in all it will be an interesting Episode – Bring it on

    Can’t Wait!!

  3. YAY AT LAST ITS TRUE!!!!!!!!SHAW IS BACK YAY!!!!!!! IM EXCITED…..I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!! 😀

  4. Shaw is the best villian to bring back for Season 5. Fans of the show generally hate and revile the character. He killed Chuck’s dad. He was romantically involved with Sarah. He trield to kill both Sarah and Chuck. As far as we know, he still has an Intersect. As far as we know, Aside from Chuck, as far as we know, Intersects have a way of making their host insane. I can’t think of a bigger threat.

    I don’t like the fact they appear to be writing Verbanski out by having her “lie low” for a while. If Casey is on the run too, why not keep them together? Is Carrie Anne Moss supposed to come back? Hope so.

    Looks like Awesome is getting tortured in the promo. Mistaken identity?

    What is the conspiracy. Why must the gov’t make Chuck fail? I hope it somehow ties into the forgotten “Omaha Project.” I’d like to know what that was about.

    Thanks for sharing these kind of wonderful content. In addition, the right travel plus medical insurance program can often relieve those worries that come with traveling abroad. Any medical emergency can soon become very costly and that’s likely to quickly slam a financial burden on the family finances. Setting up in place the suitable travel insurance bundle prior to leaving is worth the time and effort. Thanks

  6. I’m sure Shaw is going to be at least part of the driving force behind Decker. I actually welcome this, because:

    1) Shaw may have fallen flat as an ally, but he was a DAMN good villain

    2) The final battle between Chuck and Shaw in S3 seemed like it was lacking. I’d have loved to have seen them REALLY put their Intersects through their paces, each one flashing and counter-flashing trying to check the other with Chuck’s creativity and experience with the Intersect winning, rather than the strict kung-fu fight we got. This could be a chance to give them a better showdown.

    3) It could be a good way to set up re-Intersecting Chuck.

    And now that Shaw is returning, I’ve had a nagging question since the end of Season 2: Whatever happened to Jill? She was the one recurring character we never REALLY got final closure for. The last we saw of her she was going into hiding and set to be hunted by both the CIA AND Fulcrum, and the end of Chuck Versus the First Kill seemed to be setting up that she had some significant part left to play in the grand scheme of things. I hope that loose end gets resolved before the end.

  7. i could be wrong BUT .. i saw like 15 comments .. and none says : maybe shaw doesnt have the intersect anymore and maybe hes good again .. because if u guys have paid attention to it .. agent x, a.k.a volkuff had an intersect to and became a very very bad guy .. so maybe thats what happened to shaw .. i know sarah killed hes wife but 5 mins later in the episode after he told sarah that its fine he got himself a intersect .. maybe thats why he wants to kill sarah and chuck .. but that might be over now .. every thought about that peeps ? 🙂

    i like the show less then when chuck had the intersect but im still watching .,. and btw .. about the last show … what a damn good cliffhanger ! keep the good work up peeps .. Ps i know i said i like the show less .. but im from holland so i cant see them very well -.- its kinda laggy when im seeing in on the repeat on nbc .. a well ..

  8. I seriously doubt Shaw would still have the intersect. The moment Decker kicked Chuck off of the CIA he took the intersect from him, and it’s heavily implied that Shaw went into some sort of custody after Sarah and Chuck took him out… if he had an intersect they probably would have taken it away, unless he did something sneaky. That wouldn’t be too big of a surprise, I guess.

    • in season 4 were chucks finds out that shaw has an intersect and chuck says that to the peeps at the cia .. they dont believe him .. and on the big screen infront of the cia were shaw says that he killed chucks father and works for the ring .. he doesnt say that he have an intersect .. so he might have it .. but i dont think so tbh

  9. First. I think Shaw still has an intersect. In the promo for like a second or so, you see him fight Sarah and it looks like it is Kung Fu style. Second, A I think that Chuck will get an intersect type of thing in his head by the time that Chuck fights Shaw. Or there is B, if you think about the terms of words they used, it may sound like Chuck doesn’t have an intersect, but someone he knows who will help him does. P.A.N.T.S. box. I think that the intersect cards that his father(Orion) gave him in season 2 could be in there. I just don’t think that they would even create the P.A.N.T.S. idea unless it was for a better reason. Also, I do not know how this episode will end, but I think there will be a huge twist on the end. I will definitely watch this episode.

  10. Has anyone considered a return of Orion? That would be awesome. And he could bring one of his oh so many intersects. Maybe 3.0?
