Storyline

Chuck is contacted by Orion, the elusive co-designer of the Intersect, and overhears that the general wants him to help find him but won't allow removing the Intersect from his brain. The special computer Orion sends Chuck for safe contact is mistaken for a new game computer and hidden by the nerd herd, hence part of a lunatic conflict with Buy More's Beverly Hiils branch. Fulcrum is also after Orion, top agent Vincent Smith even faked his death to intrude the 'castle' as a corpse to capture Chuck, who must pretend it's safe to meet Orion but manages to leave a clue for Casey and Sara to rescue them.

User Reviews

No common sense

This episode annoyed me. There was no common sense to it. All Chuck had to say was that the computer was his personal one that he had delivered to the store. I doubt that spies would have allowed the manager to grab it and put it in his office. There are plenty of options in which they would have prevented that.

Overall, I like this show. Some of it is predictable, but it has some good comedic moments. It's a different kind of spy show, one that you can simply watch and enjoy.

The other thing that bothers me is the relationship between Chuck and Sarah. I'm tired of the will they or won't they tease in every episode. Kind of like the Ross and Rachel stuff when Friends was on. It's time to decide which way they're going to go with the two of them. Either make them a couple or drop the possible romance.
