Then Decker got blown up by Gertrude and all was well with the world. The 5th season's been pretty hit or miss, but this episode was a hit for sure. I like the direction that Chuck is headed with his computer skills. Not a big fan of always dealing with secret cabal's and organizations as that does seem to be the only trick that the show has had.

It has its moments

Warning: Spoilers
This episode definitely has its moments. Among the highlights are any scenes with Carrie-Ann Moss. You can see what an accomplished, seasoned actor brings to the table. (Similarly, scenes with Scott Bakula and Linda Hamilton always shine. And to a lesser extent the same could be said about scenes involving John Larroquette.)
Also, we got the resolution with Decker that we've been waiting for.
And FINALLY we got to see Chuck do what he does best -- computer expertise -- with no Intersect, AND NO WHINING! (In fact, it was so obvious that it even inspired HIM to suggest to Sarah that they should consider switching Carmichael Industries to a computer tech firm instead of a spy firm.)
Still, this episode, like so many others, has its share of silly filler material. They just don't seem to learn that stupid silliness is NOT the same as humor and wit. Oh well. It is what it is. But at least this episode had some shining moments.

Another good episode

This is the second good episode in a row. Finally got me interested in this show again. I only liked 5 episodes from last season but even then, I didn't love them. Besides the first 3 episodes, which were okay except episode 3. I actually like the route they're going in and the arcs / storylines seem good and have me intrigued to find out more and what's gonna happen. I just didn't expect it to get this good after the previous few and me not enjoying last season as much but it's fun again and seems to have found a better balance and tone and vibe.
Decker really went out with a bang and I actually didn't see that coming. If I didn't already like Gertrude now I actually like her more!! And I love seeing them do missions without the intersect. I like that he finally seems content without it. Even at season 4 in the end he thinks he needed it to save Sarah. And at the start of this season he missed it. It's always been he's not a spy without it, it's a burden or it turns him into something he doesn't want. It was kind of refreshing to see him without it and managing without it. I also loved the prison scenes. Lester actually had me cracking up and Casey being stuck in there with him. I just thought it was entertaining. Emotional ending as well with Casey and Gertrude. Good episode.
Only thing I didn't like was the naked cult scene which wasn't too long at least. It was funny at first but they were blurred and then it didn't really make sense. Then it just seemed random but i that's about it.
I hope there's 3 good episodes in a row now.

This episode was so funny! Lester is cracking me up! Of course he becomes number one where he currently resides. He's a con man, playah!! Lol
Morgan is great I. This episode. The real Morgan. Hope he gets completely better.
Casey, oh my! He's so stinkin' funny! He has many sides, we are discovering. He and his daughter are great too!
Love Awesome and Ellie, they are such a cool couple! And their baby is precious!
This one was exciting and has a crazy ending! My goodness, I wonder what's going to happen next. I cannot imagine where they go from here. I'll need to continue my binge watching! Lol.
