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

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.

Ah. My DVR cut out just before the preview, sadly.

Ahh. I stand corrected. My TiVo cut the program off half way into the preview, too.

Dear Chuck writers: I am sick unto death of the whole Chuck/Sarah will-they-won't-they-do-they-don't-they romance. Honestly, I don't care. There's no spark there, and that storyline died long, long ago. Please to put it out of our misery. Thank you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I echo Morgana. I'm also tired of the "it was just a misunderstanding!" plot twist. They did exactly this "you think I shot him, but I didn't" thing earlier when Chuck thought he saw Sarah kill a guy in cold blood. Maybe this is supposed to be calling back to that, but still. Don't care.
Fact is, Chuck really can't be a "real spy" if he can't kill a bad guy on orders. What, he didn't know that? Sarah didn't know that? Suddenly there's angst over what they both should have known before they started the "make Chuck a real spy" campaign.
Man. I like the show, but my interest is losing momentum. I wish they'd resolve this once and for all, one way or the other. Also, please kill Shaw. He's dull.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Baldwin will never be able to refer to his bunk without me snickering.
Did I miss something--what would happen if Chuck failed the test? Would he not have handlers?

He's no Bryce Larkin that's for sure.
