In reply to Kristin. Has anyone identified the gray wool four pocket coat that Chuck (Zachary Levi) was wearing in 4x11 Chuck Vs The Balcony? I'm looking for something like this but cannot find out what this coat was. It seems like it's a military inspired four pocket coat.

This was a very funny and romantic episode, but the only thing that really annoys me so far about this season is the long wait for Chuck’s proposal to Sarah. Seriously, there has been talk about proposing since near the beginning of the season (Chuck vs. the Suitcase). Then came the trilogy of what would happen if Chuck did propose and Sarah would answer “yes”. Then finally in Chuck vs. Phase Three, it was confirmed that Chuck was planning on proposing to Sarah, which got me psyched because I love watching Chuck and Sarah’s relationship progress. Then in Chuck vs. the Leftovers, it appeared that Chuck was about to propose when they got interrupted by assassins, then came the holiday break. By the time the new episode (Chuck vs. the Balcony) aired, we’re really hoping that Chuck was going to this time pop the question, and he was about to several times during the episode and just when it seemed he was about to, Sarah has to go undercover to bring his mom back. That’s a total of half the season of will he or won’t he. That’s too many, and I’m starting to get annoyed. I can understand that the writers wrote it that way to keep the viewers hooked onto the next episode, but enough is enough. Viewers will stop watching if they keep postponing this. I think what they’re going to do is keep the proposal on hold until episode 13 (the original season finale) and then Chuck will propose and Sarah will say yes. I look forward to watching that episode, but next time they come up with something even more exciting, I hope they WON”T keep dragging it on and on until the very end.

In reply to SpyTV. Well personally, I didn't care for the episode based on the way it ended and the stupid Jeff stuff. I did like the submission in both halves. It was done well. Here are the 2 big reasons that I didn't care for the episode and will pass on this arc and be back with Roan (yea)!!! 1. Sarah leaves chuck just like his mom, his dad, Jill, etc... The total lack of response from Chuck other than a couple of sentences. Guess what by doing this she tells him NO to his proposal and leaves him to possibly die. No emotional damage for him here. Just didn't hit me well at all. 2. The other part that just drove a nail in my skull was Casey and Chuck's discussion while Sarah was locked up. If you remember, when Chuck was going to get bunkered by Casey, Sarah saves him; When Casey gets locked up for treason, chuck and sarah break into the prison to save him. What do our 2 guys do when Sarah is arrested for the same thing, smoke cigars and talk. I was yelling at the TV and I don't watch shows where I yell at the TV.

In reply to Gord. Glad you are enjoying it Gord but S4 has been fundamentally handicapped because the lead character has been hobbled all season. When fans say that this season is not doing it for them and are not sure why, Chuck's passiveness is why. Hard to get fans excited about a show when your lead character is stuck in neutral. For the record, warts and all, Season 3 is still my favorite. Only season to push the characters and have real tension.

Lou, I agree that this is an amazing episode, but I disagree with your take on the s4 as a whole. So far this is shaping up to be my favourite season of Chuck. There hasn’t been one episode that I haven’t liked.

Sure it has had a few weak moments – like the Buy More plot in Cubic Z, but whenever we have had episodes with weak points, the rest of the episode has more than made up for them.

In reply to joy. I agree completely with Joy and Lou. Chuck's ongoing insecurities with Sarah and life without the Intersect have been a real irritation for me. I think many of us could accept that hand-wringing back in seasons 1 & 2 and the first half of 3 but I'm more than ready for Chuck to grow up and be the mature, confident guy that we know he is capable of being. For instance when he had the chance to step in front of Sarah when Volkoff cocked and pointed the gun at her (in Leftovers) Chuck just froze and Mama B. had to come to the rescue. Yet back in American Hero when Shaw's life was on the line Chuck risked his own life to save him. Why not now with Sarah? I'm hoping that over the next two episodes things will finally click (i.e. Sarah and Mama B's lives and possibly Morgan and Casey's will be on the line) so that Chuck will finally have to man-up and be the hero we all know he is capable of being. We have seen everyone else grow and mature, now it's time for Chuck!

In reply to The Prisoner. I agree. I mean, seriously, is he going to live with them even after their wedding? Chuck lived with Ellie, yes, but he is her brother and they moved away after Ellie got married. I donÂ´t understand what they are doing with Morgan this year. Or with Casey. Or with Chuck. I almost started to like Morgan in S2 and in the middle of S3 but how can anybody seriously think he can handle ANY mission, even only as an analyst? I know this show is supposed to be fun but Chuck was the best in balancing between drama and comedy, and now they moved more to a (self)parody than just pure "look, this is an Alias reference" fun. I enjoyed digging and looking for references, links, paralells. Now I watch an episode once and thatÂ´s it. Chuck is, again, a screaming girl, instead of an agent who he should be. He was so great in the second half of S3. Where is that Chuck now? If we should deal with "OMG, Chuck has killed someone" now, I wouldnÂ´t care as I cared when he shot Shaw. And Casey? I thought this show is about a team, not about Casey babysitting Morgan. I really, really hope that the last two episodes will be worth it and that theyÂ´ll find their way again. Rant over.

I will agree a good episode but not great. Too fast, and the romance was ruined by Morgan. I have said it before and I will say it again. Morgan has got to go. He is ruining the show and his obsession with Chuck is getting real weird. I am sure that he means well but the path to perdition is paved with good intentions. The you have my permission blurb to Sarah was really delving into some odd Freud thing. Its time to kill Morgan.

In reply to Donovan. You're right. Awesome's plan didn't go as planned. But in the end he did the right thing. On the other hand, it is painful to watch, as Doctor Bob, Chuch is trying so hard, and going extravagance that is totally out of sync with the character. If Morgan was planning these sort of grand event, Chuck would have pulled him aside long ago and told him maybe he should just keep it simple and speak from his heart. This is not the Chuck that Sarah fell in love with. And its not the character that I've come to enjoy on the show.
