At a minimum, I figure it'll return Chuck's Intercept powers. Unless, that iPhone app's effects were only temporary.
I'm glad I wasn't spoiled for the Dalton reveal. He really had me fooled!

At a minimum, I figure it'll return Chuck's Intercept powers. Unless, that iPhone app's effects were only temporary.
I'm thinking the tweaked PSP thing that Mama Bartowski pulled either further enhanced the intersect and Chuck's system is overwhelmed or enhanced but whatever she did won't be activated until he comes in contact with the Flux Capacitor.
As Lewis pointed out, it all comes back to what she said to him just as she held it up-- "Your father never wanted you to see this..."
Because Papa Bartowski never wanted Chuck to see the Intercept in the first place and worked so hard to get it out of Chuck.

I got suspicious when Chuck blacked out after parachuting out of the plane and woke up in the cart, but a few subsequent things put those fears aside, so I got surprised. Dalton did a great job there, both as the bumbling handler and as Volkov.

He totally went from looking like an absent-minded professor to James frickin' Bond. Guh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 rates Vampire Diaries as one of the best TV adaptations of a novel.
And they call it The Crackpipe Diaries, so I think I'm on the same page as they are.
I didn't know that 6 Million Dollar Man was an adaptation. Or that the first Lathe of Heaven didn't suck.

I didn't know that 6 Million Dollar Man was an adaptation.
From a Martin Caidin novel, asn't it? I remember him saying that in all the years he was a consultant, they only asked him one question (how to bring Jamie Summers back).
