Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Wherein we discuss: Chuck vs [adjective] [noun]

My point is that they seemingly squandered their advantage.

Oh, and yeah, like I said before: The opening sequence was good for the comedy/small dramatic angle, but it was pretty devoid of logic on everyones part.
Honestly, re: The Morgan
And really, I'll forgive a lot of ridiculousness to keep that.
Also, just generally, we need things for Casey to do, as Chuck and Sarah are... distracted.
They didn't squander it, they lost it when Chuck and Casey unexpectedly showed up.
IF Chuck hadn't thought the fight was so cool that he secretly took a copy to show Morgan AND Morgan wasn't such a martial arts B-movie nerd that he spotted the choreography AND Chuck didn't figure out that Shaw would take Sarah to the place where his wife died, then their plan would have gone off without a hitch and the Ring would have Shaw as an operative and the CIA plans for the Intersect and Sarah would be dead. It's really a fluke that their plan failed.
Shaw and the Ring gained nothing almost from taking Sarah off to that warehouse other than making it less likely for anyone to believe Shaw was going to betray anyone. But he could have proved that without kidnapping her. Which they never explained. Like no one asked what the hell they were doing there.
The fake fight was an authorized mission and convinced everyone Shaw was a good guy and wouldn't have raised any questions.
That or Shaw just wanted pad out his credibility for the eventual "This is where you killed my wife" part. "Look, see, I had the prefect opportunity to kill her, but I didn't, so I'm a goodguy!"
Or Shaw knew she triggered and so he had to go to Plan-B?
Lol, man, thinking to hard about chuck is missing the point of the show. But I can't stop!
One thing that really bugged me, is that Shaw had the fake the fight... what? Rather then have the highly trained bad ass evil spies take a punch... they put on a show that would make a pro-wrestler laugh? Jesus christ, let the blow connect, take it like a man! Your trying to trick the goddamn CIA!

Or it's all a convoluted murder by Chuck plot.
Or alternately, Shaw was really really stupid.
Yes, he's had that for quite a long time.
I think? Can't remember if they gave him a copy; I thought they just knocked him out.
You mean in the beginning? The Ring set up that warehouse: it's ostensibly where the director transmitted his hologram from.
I've had that same thought, ED. Fulcrum > The Ring in the name department.
Oh and on a completely different note:
RE: trailer for next week --
And SCOTT BAKULA!
Because she's hot.
Also, because she's hot.
And she was never bad, she just never got the chance to be good.
There was no Jeffster or Captain Awsome scenes for her, she was just background noise.
Easily the least attractive female they've ever had on the show. And she was pretty pointless.
QEDMF xbl: PantsB G+
Agreed on both counts. I didn't mind having her around, I just don't think she added much to the show.
That trailer is not for next week, it's for the next four.
Also: two weeks from Monday, not Monday.
Speaking of Ellie's speech, I was hoping that instead of telling Chuck "You didn't go to far. You didn't go far enough" that she would say he "didn't go too far enough."
But then I guess a reference like that is more in Morgan's corner.
Yea, the only cool thing she ever got to do was beat up that big guy who's name I forget in a steel cage with a tripod.

True, she did a pretty awesome martial arts thing, that even impressed Casey. Then no one ever mentioned it again. Wasted potential, that.
Also weird, considering that in the Christmas episode she was stuck in the Buymore with everyone else, and when the hostage-taker went all martial arts on people she didn't lift a finger to help. She could probably have taken that guy out blindfolded.
One theory (the one to which I personally subscribe) concerning Anna is that she didn't drop Morgan for the other Hibachi chef guy. She got recruited by the CIA or NSA (Casey called up somebody while she was kung-fu'ing). She dumped Morgan because she didn't want him to find out about her blossoming new life as a CIA agent, for his own protection. Except that now he's hip to Chuck's jive, and (last week spoilers)
I don't know that I would call him
I would say that
Twitter is evil. This is more evidence.
Have I mentioned taking a random 2 week break for no damn reason is stupid and just another sign NBC is run by morons?
On an almost related note spoilers for Bones (and how it relates to Chuck in this instance) below:
Huh, I watched both episodes but never really thought about how they compared. Really glad the Chuck writers went the way they did, although I always assumed they would.
They could have also just ordered 2 more episodes. Good planning there.
Cost/benefit issues. Though why they didn't just air for 13 of 15 weeks instead of massive premiere event (though I suppose Pink Slip would have infuriated the fan base without the next two within 24 hours if they hadn't done it this way) and a two hour finale is a bit of a mystery.
