  1. Yay Chuck night. Best night of the week, I hope the ratings are good for tomorrow. 😀

  2. Gringo Chuck Fan

    I have a sneaky feeling that the Episode tonight will be one of ‘those’ episodes that we keep talking about for a long time to come….
    [ for all the right reasons!] I’m expecting Great Things.

  3. So excited can’t wait. This is the best day of the week! I agree that this will be great episode and with Nicole Ritchie plugging it how she has been hopefully an increase in viewership as well.

  4. I’m expecting a mix of Great Things, Almost Great Things, the promise of Great Things To Come, tempered with the usual smattering of complications and setbacks. In other words, the usual stuff I love that keeps me coming back weekly.

  5. Um i just wanna see what chuck having a ring and being down on one knee means… I don’t think hes going to propose but what’s he doin??? Hmm…can’t wait to see how sarah reacts to Heather Chandler obviously not well but her reaction will be a treat(: Yvonne always has the best faces and reactions such as 4.02 when chuck is talking about the hot super model and yvonne is looking at him like “Are you kidding me!” haha with the raised eyebrow…classic! This episode should be goooooood!!!

  6. I loved this episode, i “rofld”, i “squeed”, i “awwwed”…..

    but if im being honest, i was disappointed t just a tad. maybe i need to watch it again, but i felt like there was just something lacking. still can’t pinpoint it….

    • and also, I must have missed the supply closet line i saw some people talking about in forum? can someone explain?

      • A reference was made to Chuck & Sarah not using the supply closet for its approved purpose toward the beginning of the episode.

  7. Well, at least I can sleep easy now. I’ve finally found the meaning of the Accidental Proposal clip that’s been driving me crazy since September 20. My dad thinks I’m a nerd now. When Stone Cold and Nicole Richie appeared on screen for the first time, I could remember the title to the EXACT episodes they appeared in: “Chuck Vs. First Class” and “Chuck Vs. The Cougars,” respectively. Let’s see how the reprocussions of tonight work out next week, eh?

  8. Big Mike back in full force baby! 😀 I wasn’t as big of a fan of the ending though but thats just me. Normal Chuck would have had something happen where Morgan shows up at the end and awkwardness would continue but be understood by both sides at the time and not leave a cliffhanger. I guess that part could have been done better based off the conversation they were having didn’t sync up exactly. Maybe if it happened before the conversation started instead? Too late now.

    Anyone else kind of feel empathy toward Nicole Ritches character? I really enjoyed her role on this episode from her first one. Man she would make an outstanding counterpart to Sarah in a way that the DEA agent (memory fail) does. I was thoroughly impressed with her this episode. I will cherish her role in this episode, I don’t think anybody could do a past acquaintance to Sarah other than her. More Nicole pl0x 🙁

  9. I really love “Chuck” and I try to never, ever criticize the show, but the “accidental proposal” thing is so “been there, done that”, not really original. From the moment I saw it in the promo I kinda knew what was coming, but I was really expecting to be wrong.. and THAT was the much hyped cliffhanger? Come on, writers! I have faith in you! You can do better than a do-over of a Joey-Rachel scene…
    This scene is bugging me more than the whole “normal nose – bloody nose – normal nose” on the catwalk fight débâcle

  10. The episode was fine for filler it didn’t do much for moving The quest for mom along. That being said I’m excited for next week. 😉

  11. I agree with Hope.
    Though episode three was enjoyable, I’m still having problems with this season. Not a lot, just a few. I was checking the ratings, some five plus million viewers. Not bad. The episodes, though getting good casting for them are starting to dabble in the same thing, which can make or break a show. I want the show to do extremely well and hit 100 episodes in it’s franchise and beyond, but the same stories? It has to move on, Chuck and Sarah are together, a baby is on the way and Mama B. is starting to carve out, but move away from the filler spots. All of us know Chuck and Sarah are together, but it needs to start having solid ground. Maybe I’m viewing it wrong, but it’s starting lose something. Even the comedy to me, is losing out. I miss the dynamic of comedy and action. I’m enjoying the episodes, but not as much as what we had in Season one and two.

    • Season one and two are what pretty much brought all of us in. Family friendly, comical and action. I apologize if I have offended anyone, that is not my intent. As stated in my first comment, I truly want Chuck to do well this season.
