This episode was terrible.

It was a bad episode..disappointing for the second of the season. Good to see Big Mike, though.

Not one of the best, but still enjoyable. I was wondering why the riot was going on when there should have been agents all over the place ready to quell it. Nicole Richie was surprisingly not terrible. The editing between the Goldberg/Chuck fight and Sarah/Heather fight was erratic and terrible.

I'm really starting to doubt if the back episodes are going to get picked up this time. I'm betting December will see the end of the show.

Nicole Ritchie was so stilted when she was trying to play nice and contemplative. Bitchy she could do, though. Must be all that pent up rage from having to be the shadow for Paris.

The proposal was so lame, but the ring (half carat fake cubic zirconium) was quality of Big Mike. I am glad he's bag. And that he's the Assistant Manager to Morgan.

The show seems to do as proportionately well as the hair on the show. Sarah's hair has been so flat and lackluster (I used to covet the way they styled her hair) and Chuck's preppy cut is not nearly as cute as his animal shapes hair of season one. Chuck is Samson, is basically the gist of what I'm saying.

And I got the impression that it was the non-CIA crew who was working the midnight release, but still, it was dumb to have a riot in CIA headquarters without Morgan loosing his manager position immediately and it being given to an agent who was more capable of getting shit done.

Maybe the should focus a little less on getting nerd-approved cameos coughStacyKeiblerOliviaMunncough and a little more on writing those charming stories we loved so much. Is there any way they can bring Bryce back from the dead? I always felt like he was a great foil for Chuck and I thought it was a weak move of the creators to kowtow to the fans like that and kill him off.

The mister and I enjoyed this episode. The Stone Cold chase seemed a little long, but otherwise I liked it. I thought it had some funny bits, and I liked the fight scenes. I hate to think it will be canceled and replaced with some idiotic reality show.

Sorry, I meant Steve Austin. As a non-fan of wrestling I get confused which is which.

I agree with Kayanne on this one. The hair from seasons 1 and 2 certainly played a part in the value of the show.

This is upsetting. I don't want to see Chuck get canceled, but I can't really blame NBC if it happens. Something just isn't clicking.

It's been Moonlighting'ed. Once the two leads get together, things start to fall apart.

Honestly, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he's actually a part of the spy ring now. It was better when he was the dorky, accidental victim of having the Intersect implanted in his mind, he had to hide what was going on in his life, and he had an unrequited love for Sarah. Now that he's actually a spy and everything has fallen into place (as much as it has, anyways) it's not as much fun.

That being said, this show is still a great deal more likable than most others on the air now and I kind of hate to see it ruined.

I think as long as a cast member from The Expendables keeps guest starring every week, I'll be happy.

That ending was ridiculous. Could they have possibly drawn out the ring's travel down the vent any longer??

I still love Chuck, but it's so disappointing to see everything reset after last season's great finale.

I'm done with Chuck. It's one of the few continuity-heavy shows that I watched for more than a season but ended up dropping before the end. Whatever it had going for it is long gone.
