Chuck vs. the Podcast 78: The Gobbler

Sorry for the delay this week… Gray has been a bit of a vampire, working many long nights at his day job. But that didn’t prevent us from having a lot of fun discussing the latest Chuck, Chuck vs. the Gobbler!

What could the game changing final 10 minutes of next week’s Chuck be? Did anyone see Ellie’s con coming? And how can Sarah fight in heels? We discuss all this, and more!

We round out the episode with the latest news and spoilers.

  1. If the Vivian thinking her father being an oil magnet and finding out he was a criminal mastermind, make me wonder if Volkof was her father.

  2. On Imdb, Lauren Cohan is playing Vivian Volkoff

  3. The Only thing that will blow our minds, is that Steve Bartowski has been brought back to life by Volkoff Industries. Mr. Volkoff then will hold all The Chuck Cards!

  4. I was hoping that you guys would’ve mentioned the numbers on Chuck’s Prison Shirt. That was very subtle and clever to display Zac’s Birthdate.

  5. Hi all,

    great catches & theories!

    Thanks for watching,
    Gray.

  6. Maybe 4.13 sees Jeff and Lester discovering the secret and being put in witness protection? I know it sounds like a wacky idea, but they aren’t listed to appear in 4.14 or 4.15, and it’s only a matter of time before the Buy More is not needed at all within story lines. Big Mike has hardly been featured this year, and frankly, the whole GRETA plot hasn’t gotten a warm response from fans. They could easily kill/write Jeffster out and marry Big Mike off to Morgan’s mom within a single episode. Maybe I’m crazy…

  7. It’s nice you have all retained the ability to appreciate the fun of this show, an ability that appears to have escaped at least one of the “reviewers” you link on this site. Although not afraid to veer into dark territory, Chuck has always managed to be a comedy at its core. I’m glad you don’t nitpick the plot points to death. For instance, the point of the prison breakout scene? Well, from my standpoint, it was to show Casey and Morgan singing Happy Birthday to distract the guard! The show never takes itself too seriously, and neither should we. It has been a fantastic season so far, can’t wait for next week.

  8. I said this when mom was first discovered, and I’m sticking to it. Chuck has a half sister ( maybe it’ll be the reoccurring Vivian character), with Mom Bartowski and Volcoff being the father. That explains why she stayed 20 yrs. I also wonder why Chuck hasn’t flashed on anything except kung fu. I don’t know if the writers didn’t see a purpose, but it seems he’d have been flashing on intel like crazy as of late, if he could. He didn’t even flash on the name Hydra, which was in his father’s lair, which I remembered from last years finale. I think mom’s interruption of the intersect included a hiding all the volcoff info in order to try to hide this half sister from Chuck. That would seem to explain many of the plot holes that are currently dangling. Either way, totally pumped for toninte’s episode.

  9. @Russ..
    Indeed…I agree completly..

    But the 10 best minutes..
    I think 3 things..
    1:the baby
    2:Chuck going mad against Volkoff.(When he knows that almost everyone he loves is captured. sort off)
    3:The Proposal.

    Those 3 things in 10 minutes? Possible?
    (Off course the answer of the proposal in the next episode to keep it excited..)

  10. @J.D

    I was thinking the same as your 3 points too.

    My thoughts are we’ll see Chuck go mad and beat Volkoff and rescue Mama B, Sarah and Morgan.

    After that we’ll see them arriving at the hospital just after the birth of Baby Awesome and Chuck and Sarah will be heartwarmed at the sight of Devon and Ellie with Clara and Chuck will propose in front of everyone!

    Possibly Alex to save Casey from the pillow man seen in the promo?
