    Chuck's search for Orion sets off some deeply mysterious spy stuff - a little more serious than the average chuck weekly installment. This guy - Orion - has somehow eluded both the cIA and Fulcrum over the years, but somehow Chuck managed to track him down and start exchanging messages by computer. Hmmm. Seems to me there is something deeper here. The constellation Orion apparently represents a hunter in Greek mythology, so it makes one wonder if Orion has actually been looking for Chuck all this time and not the other way around. Either way this sets up an intriguing mystery and despite the way this ep ended i have a feeling we may not have seen the last of this character (not that we actually ever SAW) him (or her) this time! I hope we get a season three of Chuck...moreless

    "Chuck Vs The Predator " was a decent episode of the second season that develops on the last episodes new development which was that Orion. I loved the rivalry between the two Buy Mores it was the funniest moments of the episode and there was a great scene were Emmett destroyed the Buy More shelves and the lot of them ran off . The part where Casey , Chuck and Sarah rob the computer was great as well . The episode was another awesome episode. I give this episode " Chuck Versus the Predator " a 9 out of 10 .moreless

    This episode had me excited about Chuck really going in a new direction, with the development of the Orion character and later on the mention of Chuck being trained as an operative instead of just an information asset. I'm definitely hoping Chuck lives to see a third season so that this can be more fully developed, i'd like to see the background of the whole Intersect story revealed and they seem to be moving towards this. Also looking forward to Awesome and Ellie's wedding which is sure to be a big occasion full of flowers, cake, explosions and probably an assassination attempt or three.moreless

  • Chuck becomes increasingly versed into the spy world and becomes more assertive in his roll and position between our three musketeers. With "the Predator' loyalty, friendship and respect between the three is further pushed to the limit!moreless

    Wonderfully delightful episode, well written. I really enjoyed the last 2 episodes because it has focused on showing the relationship that is there between the trio. Not just oh I like you guys stuff but a sense of loyalty and deep friendship that seems to building between the three. I also really enjoy the build up to the marriage that is going ot happen between awsome and Ellie. My favorite part was at the absolutley end right before the door opend. At heart I really enjoy any little bit of romantic setup the writers provide between Sarah and Chuck :) Delightfully wonderful show as always.moreless

    Chuck finally is growing up and becoming a man. But I don't want him to, be a different kind of person. And not be a really, a real spy just yet. As I think that would ruin the show. And that the show, is why we watch the show and love it. The way that we love it. But he solves a case on his own for once. Without the help of both Sarah and Casey. Who have other important things on their, plates and agendas. But Buy More thought they were getting, a video game like thing. But in fact, it is far worse than that. Not a video game at all. Chuck solves the case on his own. And shows, he doesn't need nobody's help. But again, want Chuck to be the same and goofy person that we have come to know and love. Not change at all. Well, at least not yet.moreless

    • The laptop Orion sends to Chuck is actually an Alienware laptop with the distinctive alien head shaped lighting disguised. Almost all of the lighting effects are a part of the real machine. Edit
    • In Hong Kong when Orion notices Fulcrum agents closing in on him, he turns his screen to the black message screen. When the scene cuts to another camera angle, the screen is back to normal and then black again in the next camera change. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Chuck: My handlers think that you're Fulcrum and to be perfectly honest, I'm on the fence myself. Orion: I'm not Fulcrum. Chuck: Thanks. Thanks, I'm glad we cleared that up. Edit
    • Chuck: You're coming here? Beckman: Hopefully, I won't have to shut down Operation Bartowski because of one foolish mistake. But if Fulcrum knows who you really are, pack your bags, Chuck. You're leaving with me. Tell your family and friends... Tell them nothing. Edit
    • Orion: This disc will self-destruct in five seconds. I've always wanted to say that. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • This episode has several references to the Mummy series: The main bad guy in this episode is Arnold Vosloo who played Imhotep. The Buy More was TP'd or "mummified". Emmett, while at the Burbank Buy More, hits the cardboard cutout and knocks down the DVD/Music display racks in the exact same way both Evelyn and Alex did it to the book racks in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Edit
    • Big Mike: I love the smell of Burbank in the morning. Smells like...victory. Big Mike's line is almost a direct quote from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now. In the film, Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore (played by Robert Duvall) delivers the same line, but with "napalm" instead of "Burbank." Edit
    • Orion: This disk will self destruct in five seconds. This is an allusion to Mission Impossible, originally a TV series (1966-1973) and more recently three films. The mission was always given on a tape and the phrase "this tape will destruct in five seconds" was always the final line of the message. Edit
