I'm curious as to what Alan Parker meant by saying that he was really a waitress and then the cliffhanger at the end.
Was Alan really Sarah?
Are we supposed to be thinking that?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
sumi, that's the weird impression I got, but I couldn't make sense of it. Much like the most of the episode.
Sarah from an alternate timeline?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Do you think Michael Shanks is bitter that he's doing Sci-Fi movies called things like "Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon"? With Shannen Doherty?

He also had recurring guest roles recently on Burn Notice and 24, so I guess he's enjoying a fairly varied career.

Just finished watching Chuck. I'm getting more than a little tired of Chuck's whole "I have to save Sarah" bullshit. Too many times, she sends him away to be safe, he comes back because he's "worried about her". What. the. fuck. She is a trained CIA agent, he's just some guy who opened an email, and he's supposed to protect her? @@ Maybe this time, he will learn his lesson.
I don't know why she lied though. She could have just said "we got the agent. I had to shoot him, though". Which is technically true. This bullshit about arresting is stupid. Oh yeah, and your dog got sent to a farm in the country where he can run and play all day.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I think it's just that, for Chuck, it was so clearly an assassination-style murder from someone who usually insists to Casey that they bring in the agent/suspect/criminal for justice. But I liked the unbalanced implication that Chuck cares enough about Sarah to give her something that belonged to his mother, and Sarah cares enough about Chuck to kill a clear and dangerous threat to him. I found it fitting, and also why Chuck/Sarah will never, ever work out. I agree that I'll be very bored very fast if they milk Chuck's angst about it for longer than an episode; he's clearly starting to go from playing at being a spy to understanding (and accepting) what being a spy means, which is one of the things I've liked about this season. And I'll be annoyed if they try to have Chuck shy away from that out of some unreal sense of fear--I just won't buy it anymore, not after all the things he's seen and done.

Someone on my flist figured it out at the same time I had my question answered by my friend on the show: that wasn't Alan Parker. That was Sarah mentally filling in the blanks after the recording stopped.

Yeah, he wouldn't have blinked if it had been Casey.
