I loved this episode. I think Chuck has everything I wish I could see regularly on tv: adventure, romance, comedy, originality. I thought the episode was a fun way to see the characters deal with the new situation of the Morgansect. I loved Sarah as the trophy bride for moneyed Morgan — I thought it was a great dynamic and lots of fun. I think the actors played it very well, I thought the writers did a very good job, and I loved what they came up with for Chuck’s plan.

It might be that I enjoyed the pacing of the episode more than others because I had the opportunity to watch the show with my dad, who had somehow removed all the commercial breaks. I did feel like going from the beginning of the independent Carmichael Industries to its bankruptcy felt rushed, but I chalked that up to the short season.

I also just want to say that I don’t know how I missed this site over the years, but I really appreciated Mel’s synopsis. I also want to thank whomever of the folks who use this site who had a hand in keeping Chuck from cancellation. It’s been my favorite show for years and I know a lot of work went into keeping it alive.

First of all, soooooooo happy Chuck is back; a void has been filled!

I thought the episode was good for the first one of the season and I think it sets things up nicely for the next 12 episodes. I have to admit i’m not a big fan of Morgan with the Intersect but I do like how the writers are dealing with Chuck sans the Intersect and his relationship with Morgan and Sarah because of this change!

As for the Chuck/Sarah relationship, I still think these two have the best chemistry in a tv show ever and I’m sure that’ll continue throughout the rest of the season. Plus, I love the fact they’re married now 🙂

But am I the only one who misses Sarah’s long hair? Haha

Firstly – it is great to find this site – don’t know how I missed it over these last 3-4 years.

Quite excited about the latest episode – but I can’t say if that was due to a lack of Chuck – or that it was a good episode.

Although I love this programme – I agree with Kabar’s Edge when he says the show is missing a lot of the original charm – makes me wonder if it was a mistake to get Chuck and Sarah together or keep stringing the relationship a la Friends.

For me – it lost something in series 3 – although 4 did some things to get better.

Looking forward to the next episodes.

Yep – I agree more should have been done with the guest stars
Casey – seems to have been domesticated –
Liked the “Zoom” that Morgan does

I’m sorry but I think the people who are saying that the latest Chuck episode is “rubbish” are wrong as the series opener was a great episode. Also the “Morgansect” is a great new dynamic which will do wonders with this series and keep us on our toes. About the whole “Agent X threat” mishap, maybe the writers messed up or maybe they did it on purpose to show that Decker isn’t afraid of Chuck, we don’t know all we have to do is put our trust in the writers as they know best!!

I live in England which means that I have to get up at 4 in the morning each Saturday to watch the Chuck episode and it’s killed me that I’ve not been able to do as much as others to help the show; so get over your Morgan hate (who by the way Joshua Gomez plays brilliantly) and be a true Chuck fan and watch the hell out of this series!!!

In reply to Kabar's Edge. Good Post, except just going back to watch past episodes only. I hate Morgansect.

In reply to Laura. Laura, I get where you're coming from, but I hope you don't skip the next few episodes. The 11/11 episode is REALLY good. Carrie-Ann Moss has a large role, and Adam Baldwin gets to play some fun scenes with her. It would be a shame if you missed that!

In reply to Toni. I think that question is answered in episode 5.04, "Chuck vs. the Business Trip".

After waiting so long, I am sorry to say I was really disappointed in the return episode of Chuck (my favorite show). What makes Chuck so appealing is the closeness and love between Chuck and Sarah. Their interaction is everything. You could almost do the show with just the two of them and it would be great. Sure hope they change the story line, which could be hard since the next several episodes are allready done. However, I will stay loyal because of the joy they have brought me these past four years.

Finally watched the pilot,. I just cant take so much Morgan. Someone said up above that hes always been a main character, maybe obviously not to the extent Chuck or Sarah but still a main character, and while I’d actually agree with that, there always seemed to be the right balance of him. We got him in small enough doses that he didnt annoy the crap out of me…sadly, he did that with this episode. I’ll keeping watching, but, I dont know, Im leaning on thinking I’m out until Chuck gets the intersect back…I think I could stomach Morgansect if Chuck at least had the intersect too. Though that unfortunately, doesnt seem to be happening any time soon.
