  1. Looking forward to it. 🙂

  2. This is one episode you don’t want to miss? Hmmm… aren’t they all?

  3. From the previews, looks like it’s gonna be great. Cant wait 😉 and we’re behind in the cover poll! Gotta keep voting:)

    • Does anyone know where we find out where we stand on the Cover poll?

      • Updates are Tweeted by TV Guide’s Editor in Chief: http://twitter.com/TVGuideMagEIC

        She’ll update around 6PM EST, then no more. We have to wait until December 13 to find out who won.

  4. It is gonna be great and all, but: vote, people, vote!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Hope it’s a good one. Unfortunately, we here in the St. Louis area will miss it tonight because the rancid idiots who run KSDK, the local NBC affiliate, are doing their monthly pre-emption of network broadcasting for some worthless locally produced special.

    • You can still use that hour productively. Spend it voting for Chuck.

      I have already spent a couple of hours voting, while I was watching a few shows off my pvr.

      Voting for Chuck is the perfect way to spend those commercial breaks tonight.

      • Yeah I live in the same area and it really stinks! I will definitely be voting during the entire hour for Chuck.

    • Same here – I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but I should’ve known it was a STL WTF. I’ve had this happen on all three networks with shows I like and I don’t know how they can get away with pre-empting network primetime. Why are they affiliates if they just want to show their own mindless drivel?

  6. Just a thought…perhaps we might forego the live chat and instead encourage voting while watching?

  7. Okay, probably not going to be the first to say this but. WHAT THE HELL MAMA B!?! First I was angry at Sarah, then at Chuck, then back at Sarah, then Casey because Morgan was mad at him and now I’m super pissed at Mama B! You better have a darn good reason for blowing up the house mom!

  8. Today’s episode was really good. Some drama, unexpected solutions, nice cliffhanger, still unclear role of Mama B. Hmm. Who is she? The fight between Chuck and Sarah was not that dramatic, I thought it is gonna be much more energetic. But still that little talk an fight in the Bank gave some energy in their relationship. What was that tiny computer Mama B. used? Was Chuck deintersected? Looks like Ellie’s new car have some clues inside. That can be helpful given the fact that Mama B. blew out the whole Chuck’s secret base.In general, I really enjoyed this episode. So far, so good!!!!!!!

    • i recon the PSP mama bartowski used actually fused the intersect with his mind – ergo it will never come out, no need for govenor, and he will no longer need to flash, it will purely be HIS skill now.

      As for ellie’s computer that will be interesting – probs some extra skills/explaination

  9. Awesome to hear Scottie Bakula’s voice again. Now vote!

  10. I, uh, don’t know. The show was good, it took different corners throughout the show, at the end, I was left going, I need to know more, but I don’t understand. That of course was in a good way. I haven’t seen the preview for the next episode, so I have no clue what to expect at all.

    My only thought is that the computer that Papa B. left will go to Chuck with some sort of instruction to help clear the way for whatever happened to Chuck by what Mama B. did. That set up, I just realized, will be Ellie protecting Chuck the way Papa B. told Ellie to protect Chuck. Don’t be surprised if it is a battle inside of her to not tell Chuck just yet, but if she is the one to always say, “No Secrets,” if it goes in that direction, she will give the laptop to Chuck immediately.

    Either way, it’s getting really good.

  11. Correct me if I am wrong, but, i find inconsistencies in this episode. If papa B left that computer there to take the intersect out of Chuck’s head, then why did he build one in the Colonel. If mama B knew where to find it, then why did they need Chuck to show them the safe house. We also know that Chuck is not Chuck without the intersect, therefore we know he gets it back. My thinking is the computer or whatever papa B left in the 68 Camarro is an intersect. Question is it a 2.0 or a 3.0
