    Chuck meets one of the scientists from the team that created the intersect, and from him he gets the name of the head of the original team - Orion. Chuck now is having thoughts of getting clear of the intersect and having a future with Sarah. We also find that chuck has been doing more serious thinking about this all along than we realized. Chuck does hold some of his cards close to his chest. With the new develpments Chuck can start to think of Sarah again with something other than a schoolboyish yearning for a doomed crush. I admit the episode had me going cuz i thought Sarah really liked Cole, and there seemed to be pretty strong chemistry between them, but it turns out that Sarah still wants humble, sweet, smart and very heroic-in-his-own-way Chuck. Shucks that is nice. Go Sarah and Chuck! p.s. will something to do with Chuck's father be in the last episodes? There was a reference to him in this one - makes me wonder...moreless

    What a great episode. I was worried about this Cole character, he turned out not to be the bad guy I thought he'd be, he made Sarah realize Chuck is her man...There is so much this episode offers but the things that stand out: Chuck's goal of removing the intersect from his head, so he can be with the woman he loves, At the fountain Chuck indirectly tells Sarah he loves her and watching Sarah's face light up. The Intersect map, looks like Chuck has been doing some serious thinking, and note taking about his situation...All in all this episode has everything I expect from a Chuck episode...moreless

    And this episode did just that Chuck is growing a pair...Its funny cause I know a few ppl just like him and when they finally came out of their shells they were beasts...lol anyway Its so good to finally hear Chuck say that he loves Sarah and not be falling all over himself while doing it. Sarah so loves him. Its good also to see that Morgan didn't cry like a baby and the episode went totally different from my prediction but oh well. So everyone is moving on and Chuck is developing and becoming the little spy that could...Thats mine don't use it...lol..really don't.
    Great job guys.moreless

    I am so tired of the Chuck/Sarah love story, or should I say lack thereof. They are perfect for each other, and yet every time one of them is ready to come clean, the other talks first and ruins the moment, leaving the other one sad and lonely. It is beyond ridiculous, and it's absolutly painful. Everytime I watch the show, I wonder how they'll lift my hopes only to send them crashing down every week. It is just too much at this point. Either put them together, or give them both steady relationships, because this rollercoaster is giving me a headache.moreless

    I was sort of conflicted about this episode when I first saw it. It could be from the power surge that just about wiped out all the electrical devices in my house ten minutes before the end of the episode, but I digress. (By the way, four hours later everything was alright.)

    I watched the last ten minutes of the episode today and it really put everything in perspective. As a reviewer it makes you realize you have to see the whole piece to really make your mind up properly.

    This and the last episode have been excellent in moving the many relationships forward in this show. Chuck is becoming a really good ensemble cast production. I think the Sarah/Chuck relationship is finally going somewhere. They have played with it a long time, but there is no denying now Sarah's feelings for Chuck and Sarah now knows once and for all that Chuck has a thing for her. Now we'll see if it's just business as usual or if they deal with it in the coming episodes.

    The Morgan/Anna relationship has moved forward. I like the maturation of Morgan and that he came to the decision he did on his own. Jeff and Lester almost screwed things up, but that's what they do best.

    Agent Barker was great is so many ways. He recognized what was going on with Sarah and Chuck and tested the waters with Sarah, but he knew when to be a gentlemen and back away. I also enjoyed that he seems to be the first person to really accept Chuck for what he is, an agent, a spy, and he actually was willing to train him professionally and help him learn to take care of himself and others.
    That has always been something that has bothered me about the whole setup. I hope we see more of Barker in the future.

    Finally it will be interesting to see how Chuck really deals with the fallout of not moving out and how his sister will react long term.

    Overall a great episode and very entertaining. I will say I do see how someone might have a negative reaction to this episode. Sometimes I think there are things that just bug you about characters and how they react. I could write a whole blog on that myself. Maybe I will...

    Thanks for reading...moreless

    • Chuck: So we're gonna need a cover. Normally we stay in the service arena. Waiter, busboy, maybe valet. How about we mix it up this time? What do you think about dentists? Cole: Dentists at a consulate party? (Chuck and Cole approach a security guard) Chuck: What, you got a better idea? Cole: I say we go as spies. (Cole punches out the guard) Chuck: A little obvious, but I guess we can do it your way. Edit
    • Anna: (to Morgan) A life together is the best present ever. And when we move in, I'm gonna show you your mother isn't the only one who can be noisy in the bedroom. Edit
    • Cole: Well, who'd have thought it. Cole Barker loses the girl to Chuck Bartowski. Sarah: When you meet somebody you care about, it's just hard to walk away. Cole: I couldn't have said it better myself. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The title of the episode is a reference to the classic buddy-cop action/comedy Lethal Weapon. Edit
    • Morgan: (While being mocked about Big Mike sleeping with his mom) That's good. Laugh it up, fuzzballs. The line "laugh it up, fuzzball" is from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, when Chewbacca finds Leia's mocking of Han Solo similarly amusing. Edit
    • Barker: Always go for the knee. Chuck: You mean, like, sweep the leg? Chuck's line "sweep the leg" is a reference to The Karate Kid, when Daniel's rival is ordered to do so in the final match. Edit
