    Twists and Turns!

    Wow, so many twists and turns in this, yet another great episode. I really enjoyed this episode, and to see Morgan acting exactly the same way Chuck did when the series began. So realistic!

    The Buy More escapades always make me laugh! Awesome is just Awesome. Big Mike is hilarious, as usual. And Jeffster....there are no words. They are all hilarious!!!

    The storyline in this one is great, with their new client. The subplot with Casey is really funny too!

    I cannot get enough off this show. It has humor, suspense, sadness, hilarity,and hi-jinx! Just the way it was supposed to be written!! Ignore the nay-sayers.

    Horrible

    There is nothing positive about this episode, or this season. With Morgan having the intersect a mildly annoying character becomes one of the WORST characters in TV history. He is immature and obnoxious. He should have been kept as a background character because he ruined Chuck.

    Enough with Morgan already

    I watched this show when it first ran, and I liked the show, but hated Morgan from the beginning.

    Now that I'm significantly older, it's so much worse. I HAAAAAATE this dude.

    Like, how does a grown man act like such a little itch with a b. For real, who ever was in charge of his character "arc" (arc in quotes, because with the exception of landing a girlfriend, who, might I add is a questionable character herself, there has been ZERO growth.) has to be a 12 year old boy. I don't even know why the actor didn't stand up in a script reading and go "what the actual F? Can we not write my lines like I'm 5 years old"

    Painfully bad

    This is, hands down, the worst episode ever. (And that category is getting increasingly crowded.) In addition to the series's other shortcomings -- like the wretched writing and directing -- it's become painfully clear that Zachary Levi cannot act to save his soul. No matter what he tries he ends up coming across like a neurotic teenage boy and/or a clownish Jerry Lewis. Either way it's pure torture watching him and Gomez and the lot of them -- with the possible exceptions of Strahovski and Baldwin (and even they are grating on my nerves lately).

    • Trivia
      Following on with the show's history of utilising spies and characters from other movies and shows, Justin Hartley, who plays Wesley, was the original Green Arrow from Smallville (2001).
    • Goofs
      Casey is standing at the foot of the cliff, firing pitons up into the cliff wall, at about a 45 degree angle, so Sarah can use them to clamp onto while climbing. However, the pitons are shown embedding into the cliff at a 90 degree angle, which would be an impossible angle from where Casey is standing below.
    • Quotes

      John Casey: Chuck's doing a great job handling Grimes. The blind leading the blind out there.
