What was the xbox under the drivers seat in the mustang? I assume that is a backup Intersect...

Loved this most recent episode. It's probably tied with the Chuck vs. the Couch Lock as my favorite episodes of this short season thus far. Overall, I think season 4 is shaping up very nicely and I can't wait to see how this all plays out.
Oh, and I was also surprised with the "twist".

I wanted the tiny weapons fight 
It's an Orion computer, as previously seen in the latter part of season 2. It doesn't necessarily contain the Intersect, but knowing Stephen Bartowski, it could do...anything?aparisi2274 said:
Edit: Yesterday's 3.7 household rating was the highest this season, including the premiere. Perhaps a slight bump is possible in the A18-49 demo?

That is correct. I was surprised to hear them use the same licensed song twice, but I guess the budget cuts are pretty deep. (see: CGI this episode)NotTheGuyYouKill said:
As soon as he got shot, I remembered my conversation with confusingjazz about whether or not Dalton being on multiple episodes was a spoiler or not. There wasn't any reason for him to get shot there and have him come back for more episodes unless it was faked and he was a double agent. That and the fact that no one had been officially cast as Volkov yet meant it was probably either Dalton or Richard Chamberlain.jwj442 said:
I don't know how many episodes he's going to be on, but having him as Tuttle for the majority of his stint on Chuck before switching to a villain probably wouldn't be that effective. That being said, he was hilarious as Tuttle, and it's too bad we aren't getting a little more. I'm not ready to call Volkov "straight up boring" just yet - we've only had one scene with him so far.Solo said:

Cornballer said:
Yeah, that was the reason I wasn't too shocked that he was Volkov. I just couldn't think how they would keep him in the show after being shot and as you said, they are probably wrapping up episode 11 or 12 by now and since NBC hadn't announced any new guest stars it had to be someone we already knew about.

It's intersect 3.0. It will give Chuck the ability to fly, breath underwater, shoot lasers from his eyes, and bake amazing chocolate chip cookies.

Ah, I see. Yeah, some more Tuttle would have been nice, though I don't know how much mileage they could've gotten out of that character in the long term. I do hope that they give Volkov some personality beyond the "dastardly bond villain" angle, though Chuck has consistently done good villains in the past. It's just that most of them get taken out pretty quickly by Team Bartowski.Solo said:

True. House regularly puts up bigger numbers that what the WS did last night. Kind of a bummer to have a great episode and a bump in ratings right before a hiatus, too.ConfusingJazz said:

The fact they introduced him this early gives me some hope assuming the original plan was to have him last until 4.13. And I agree with the good villains, well as long as you mean individuals. Their evil organizations I have been less than impressed with; both Fulcrum and Fulcrum 2.0.

Haven't had the chance to check in on this thread the past few weeks, but wanted to voice my opinions of the show. Not sure about everyone else, but I thought the Halloween episode was amongst the worst ever. Just didn't feel like it clicked well with me at all. This week they bounced back nicely though with some fun scenes and Dalton was great as Tuttle. When the show is hitting on all cylinders, it's still a lot of fun.
Bad green screen effects show off the cut budget though.

And thats why is awesome to dont read the credits of the season before the episodes are watched.
I only suspected the twist when Tuttle had gone from the bank floor and when the mother was going to other corridors of the files room, and thats just before he turns into Volkoff, so that surprised me a lot.
Yeah, Tuttle was awesome, but when Dalton appeared with the suit to say he was Volkoff, I also thought it was awesome.
Really liked the episode, didnt know it was going to be important to the main story, as it starts rather low budget and typical just for fun episode (but without Buy More scenes), even more, I suspected more that this was not a normal episode when I didnt see Buy More scenes, but thoutgh it was only becuase of the budget.

Yes, individuals like Roark, the poisoner, etc...Screaming_Gremlin said:
I agree with that - they've been a bit flimsy at times. Mostly used as a device to cover up some plot holes, and they've lacked personality.

I think the true answer is that Sony is going to be Fulcrum 3.0.

Working under the assumption that Papa B and Mom didn't talk at all since she left, it's likely that it existed before or that she knew of something Papa B was doing since because of the codename. Remember, she was keeping tabs from inside Volkov's organization so. I assume she knew of the intersect already because of Papa B having it and she figured out Chuck had it since he entered the spy business.

- Promo pics from the next episode. *spoilers*
Summer Glau seems a wee bit pissed off at the Buy Morons.
That makes sense - one of the last pieces of Orion is gone and they play the song again.sneaky77 said:

My first thought after that end sequence was "I wonder if they'll play it again if they blow up the car"Cornballer said:
Best episode of the season imo. Plot moved, guest star was excellent, the banter between Sarah and Chuck while they fought Volkov's men in the bank was very well done. I enjoyed it immensely.
Of course I do like anything Orion related. I love all the little things they keep throwing in there regarding the intersect and the mythology. It certainly IS a family with secrets.

Pretty sure that's the Deadmau5 song.

It's not really shown off in this clip, but Zachary Levi's action sequences (particularly the fight scenes) have gotten so much better the last couple of years. He was very awkward in the "I know kung fu" scene, and now it's much more believable.
That's cause he's mastered the intersect. Of course I'm kidding, but in a way it would sort of make sense that he might be awkward doing these things that he knows how to do, but the movements are unfamiliar since he's never done them before. As he performs the actions, he body gets that movement memory and he becomes more fluid performing the actions.

Well, this stupid game from NBC:

+ the whole ring thing earlier makes me think the proposal is coming for real this season.

Hmmm. It *could* work, if they waited until the end of the season since we got a nice long season this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in episode 13 since that was going to possibly be the last episode. Since they got a back 11, they might push it out toward the second half of the season. I am not sure if there have been any interviews with Schwartz or Fedak where they have said how they plan on doing the new episodes, as a separate mini-season like last year or if they are stretching and fleshing out the current storyline.

Thanks for the summary SG - I added it to the OP.
I haven't seen any interviews with Schwartz or Fedak regarding the additional episodes, but most of the speculation has said that they didn't really have time to rescript the first 13 (since they were already breaking/filming the last few when the news broke) so the back 11 will be a new arc.Screaming_Gremlin said:

While a new arc will be the main element of the latter season, they could still have time for minor changes to make the transition easier; for example, I remember Fedak saying the Chuck vs. Shaw Intersect battle would have come in Chuck versus the Other Guy had last season not been extended (instead, the fight was in Chuck versus the Subway/Ring Part 2)
