Goofs:

Continuity: When the customers enter the Buy More for Black Friday and Chuck is asked by a random woman about camera bags there is a second woman to the right of the screen who begins waving her hands about as if talking to him. However, when the angle changes to show Sarah over Chuck's shoulder the woman is nowhere to be seen.

Quotes:

Sarah Walker: How did Casey find out?
Chuck Bartowski: I made a rash decision.
Sarah Walker: You saw Bryce kiss me, didn't you?

Chuck Versus the Nemesis is the funniest action-packed episode of "Chuck" yet!

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This episode takes place on Thanksgiving and Black Friday the next day so I'll just mention some tidbits here: With Bryce now revealed to be alive, Chuck gets in the interrogation room with him and has to prove he's the real one to Bryce by talking in Klingon which he's rusty at. At Ellie's Thanksgiving dinner, Anna shows jealousy at seeing Morgan's looks at Ellie as well as the way he's REALLY enjoying her food. Chuck also is envious watching secretly Sarah and Bryce (who's unbeknownst to everyone else) kissing in his bedroom, so much so he's tells Casey in encoded form about it. Chuck says "pineapple" to warn his fellow employees of an emergency as he's being held up by some enemy agents threatening to kill everyone in sight. Morgan awkwardly seeing Bryce and saying how he reminds him of Chuck's old roommate who he thinks is a "douche". And then seeing Jeff hit on the head a couple of times after revealing how he liked being hit by a pineapple by his dad during his childhood. The episode ends with Sarah having to choose between two calls: One from Bryce on a classic antique phone made for mansions or on her ipod phone from Chuck. What to pick?...Most hilarious and action-packed of "Chuck" yet! With all my favorite characters and thousands of soccer mom shoppers contributing to the fun! Very glad to know NBC gave this one a full-season pickup. Hope the writers' strike ends before the episodes run out.
