Stephanie, I thought the episode was definitely worth watching.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

“Not dead yet!”
Stephanie, I thought it did a nice job of reigniting the things that made the story intriguing in the first place and reshuffling just enough to recapture interest.
I think it's definitely worth the two hours.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Yes, the pace was much better than the fall run of the show. I was ready to give up, except it is one of the shows I watch with my sister.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I had given up on the show too, but I enjoyed the new episode.

It's about time Mark Sheppard played the bad guy on Chuck. What took him so long?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My suspension of disbelief lets me go along with magical spy stuff, but has trouble swallowing that the architects of the Buy More fight club would be in any position to sue Casey.

Wait, was he the guy the double-agent offed in the hotel? Totally missed that was him. Bad me, no biscuit.
I would totally lose at Mark Sheppard bingo.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sorry, Tom. Talking as a faithful follower of Mark Sheppard's work from his Cecil L'Ively days (the pyromaniac he played in the first season of The X-Files 17 years ago), that was not Mark Sheppard.
I should have predicted Casey showing up in the last minute tom "save" Chuck, but of course. Also, Brandon Routh, while very pretty, is sadly the least charismatic actor they have on the entire show, including some of the nameless nerd herders at Buy More.
ETA: re. the Mark Sheppard sighting: I think MS did actually show up as a bad guy at some point on the show -- just not in this latest ep.
