Based off the title, I am assuming this is a Thanksgiving episode? If so, I assume we are going to get all 13 episodes this fall (and hopefully another Christmas episode). Hopefully we get a back 9 so we have something to watch this spring.

I know they have had always tried to show Sarah as a sexy spy girlfriend for Chuck, but is it my imagination, they are sexualising her or giving her more cheese cake shots than previous times?

Not that I'm complaining, just seems that way to me

It seems pretty much the same to me as it always has been. I don't think Chuck has ever really gone more than an episode or two without having a scene when Sarah is in a skimpy dress, bikini, underwear, or at the very least being sprayed down with water or walking through some exaggerated fan/wind blowing on her.

Sarah is now having a good time and enjoying herself, so she has no reason to be stiff and cold.

And they are trying what they can to get more people to watch the show.

Either way, I win.

Sadly, I am working tonight, so no Chuck for me. :(

But Chuck on Hulu tomorrow morning! And maybe then NBC will get my numbers for watching it since I am not a Nielsen house!

Sadly I am in the same boat. Except instead of having to work Chuck is getting vetoed by my buddy due to Monday Night football. It is times like this that not having cable hits the hardest. :lol

Didn't see it. Was playing Lords of Shadow and when I looked up it was already 15 mins passed 9pm. I'll catch it tomorrow night.

I for one really enjoyed the episode, especially after thinking last week's episode was very average at best. It really seemed like everything was clicking again. The relationship felt somewhat natural and not ridiculously forced like last weeks, even if it was sort of a continuation.

- I like how Morgan was at least able to get a few jokes in about horribleness of the ending last week.

- Gratuitous shots of Sarah in a bikini are always welcome.

- Bit of a blatant Toyota and Subway promotion, but at least the Subway one was funny. Good to see that their fast food restaurant is a sign of stability.

- Awesome's statue was amazing. Especially the several scenes of him admiring it. A shame the head had to be shot off.

- The awkwardness in the scene between Morgan, Alex, and Casey was fantastic. I look forward to more of it in the future, especially if Morgan continues to go to Big Mike for love advice.

- I am glad out of any of the guest stars they brought back from last season it was Generalissimo since that was the one early season episode that I thought was awesome. The story about how he knew Casey was hiding in the walls for the week while he was somewhere else was hilarious.

- I couldn't help but notice that while crawling through the tunnel, Casey and Chuck are wearing full fatigues while Sarah wears a tank top so we can see her cleavage.

- Chuck at least tells Ellie that he is searching for their mom. Thankfully he won't be fully having to lie to her the entire season.

YES. I recently watched the first episode with the Generalissimo and it is a classic. Awesome character.

Tonight's episode was the first I watched initial broadcast of. Just caught up from season 1 in the last three weeks. Love this show so damn much, but it sounds like this season's ratings are so horrible that it's even more doomed than usual. Consensus?

I'm looking forward to the inevitable Casey/Morgan conflict when Casey finds out that Morgan and Alex are together (they were making out at the end right?).

Oughta be funny.

The ratings are pretty bad, although it is slightly higher than what it ended last season on. On the positive side, the ratings are steady and NBC does the most minimal advertising as possible so it doesn't cost them much. That and the rest of their dramas besides L&O and to a lesser extent The Event are falling quickly and might end up below Chuck in the ratings if they haven't already. Personally I am expecting this to be the last season, but I thought the same thing going into season 3 so who knows.

I'm digging that after three seasons of character story arcs and social awkwardness the characters can finally fall into a comfortable episodic rhythm. That more than anything is making me feel like they're going to wrap it up soon--finding his mom & proposing to sarah or some such.

Great episode, I really like Dictator dude. Lots of fun stuff. And I cant wait to see more of the Morgan/Casey/Alex storyline.

Somewhat silly episode, but I didn't mind too much because it was funny and enjoyable. Much lighter this week. Armand Assante is hilarious as the Generalissimo. I like the route they're going with Morgan, Alex, and Casey - it can only lead to laughs down the road. The Chuck and Sarah back and forth this season has been reasonable so far, though I wouldn't mind a break from their relationship talk sooner or later. I wish they'd go the route of showing not telling when it comes to that. Music was ok but nothing really clicked for me this week. Fight scenes were decent, but they've set such a high bar at this point that a lot is expected. I wanted a Casey-in-the-wheelchair fight! Definitely need to get some more Sarah bikini gifs as well as one of Awesome's "Wow" at the statue.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Alex is far too attractive to get picked up by Morgan.

I think that's a recurring theme on this show :lol
