really liked this episode.

[Superman's Princess]

I really enjoyed the episode too.

Chuck giving up just as Sarah wants more. So sad. Poor Sarah.:(

[HumanoidCorvin]

Not what I expected of the Dark Intersect. The images could have been darker and more scary but its a primetime show kids see it.

[Who]

Morgan's mom LOL. I can't decide if I like the Buymore story or the spy story of this show.

[closetclana]

It was nice to see Sarah enter Chuck's world (with the intersect) and have Chuck protect her. What an interesting change of rolls that I was not expecting or had never considered.

I loved Shelby! And Sarah fed him! It was comforting to know that someone was looking out for our super-dog.

One question - Why didn't all the Fulcrum people just close their eyes????

----- Added 6 Minutes later -----

I can post this because it is an official site :eek:

http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/exclusives/our-life-together/index.shtml

You can see all of Sarah an Chucks "wedding photos." Great fodder for avitars.

[jkashuba07]

Its not that they couldn't, but Sarah and Chuck closed their eyes before it started, Fulcrum didnt realize anything till the sequence started, once it did, I guess they couldnt because they were already mesmorized by it. I don't think they could close the once they have been exposed until its over, or Chuck would have closed his eyes at the intersect update and now this Fulcrum update!

[superhippie2000]

Morgan's mom LOL. I can't decide if I like the Buymore story or the spy story of this show.
ya both plot lines are great lol. which is rare for tv. usually the A plotline is much better then the B but the A and B plotlines both have there moments.

ya i agree :D

[DarkClone]

i liked the episode . . . the Chuck and Sarah storyline was good. We saw that Sarah liked doing some of the normal domestic stuff . . . I mean, the house had been bugged, so part of it was cover, be she really did enjoy taking care of Chuck in a different way

The did a nice job of setting up some spoiler events that are to come as well . . . in the conversation between Chuck and Ellie at the end . . .

Chuck finally accepting that nothing more is going to come of him and Sarah's relationship, and the general stressing that Chuck's life has never been in more danger . . . these two things could really pull them apart for a while

It was nice to see Chuck protecting Sarah for a change though, even after having just gone through the dark intersect download himself . . . I think it might have been a way to show Sarah that Chuck really is willing to risk his life not just for the missions, but for her.

[HumanoidCorvin]

The Dark Intersect isn't what I expected, the images should have darker and more scary.

[DarkClone]

The Dark Intersect isn't what I expected, the images should have darker and more scary.

eh, it's prime-time television . . . the dark intersect was never meant to be evil . . . just to contain fulcrum secrets instead of CIA ones

[superhippie2000]

ya i dont really think we were going to see dead rotten bodies and maggots and like rapisists or anything. just a lot of evil information and couments.

[HumanoidCorvin]

Well, the images were slightly darker than the light intersect so its got that.

[closetclana]

Actually, the whole dark intersect thing exceeded my expectations. I thought the special effects in that scene were good. I didn't expect it to be gory or anything. I thought it was great!

[jkashuba07]

Yea, I'm not exactly sure where "Dark Intersect" came from. In the episode all it mntion was Fulcrum programming, doesn't necessarily mean that hes going to be this dark dark person with evil thoughts in his head!

[krpto]

Does anyone know what the song was that played when they first got to the suburbs?

[STFanatic]

From what I found it was "One in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads.

[krpto]

thanks I just looked up that song on youtube and its same one played on the show.

[HumanoidCorvin]

It should have been! :)

It would have been so cool to see a Dark Chuck, snapping at Casey for calling him names. Well the images were slightly darker than the NSA/CIA intersect, also the red light in the images.

[jkashuba07]

lol but where did u get the idea that fulcrum programming would be dark and make Chucky a baddie?

[krpto]

lol but where did u get the idea that fulcrum programming would be dark and make Chucky a baddie?
I think I vaguely remember a spoiler that said chuck would have to face a dark intersect. And that kinda went into speculation that he would become darker once being exposed.

[closetclana]

lol but where did u get the idea that fulcrum programming would be dark and make Chucky a baddie?

Oh HumanoidCorvin has been fantasizing about the Dark Interset for months now haven't you HC?

[cousteau]

See, I don't even get why fulcrum would want an intersect of their own; they're one agency, and the point is of the intersect that they're sharing data between the CIA and NSA - with them being one organisation, wouldn't that make distribution of intelligence easier?

[closetclana]

^ You have a point. The way the intersect was first explained to us was that it was the intersection of two agencies worth of data. I don't think they ever really explained how or why the data was planted in subliminal images - since it was never intended for a human to absorb them.

But this episode said that Fulcrum's computer wasn't really an intersect but some sort of subliminal data device that implanted training and information into agents that they would need for a particular mission. It appeared that once implanted agents would just 'know' things and not go through the "Flash" that Chuck does with intersect data. That is why when Chuck was acting all zombie like after the procedure all the fulcrum agents had assumed it worked.

Gosh - it's just a fun TV show - it doesn't really make any sense at all, does it?

[HumanoidCorvin]

Oh HumanoidCorvin has been fantasizing about the Dark Interset for months now haven't you HC?

Yeah, I have! :rotfl:

Dang, I was hoping for a Dark Chuck, it would have been nice to him stand up to Casey and probably have him in his mercy if he's ordered to kill him again.:cool:

Oh well, who knows, Chuck might absorb the real Dark Intersect that Fulcrum is working on.

yeah, but even that doesn't make sense, because Chuck now has a full roster of fulcrum agents in his head that he flashed on after getting implanted with the fulcrum intersect data - meaning he won't be killed by the CIA or NSA now, as he's far too valuable to them alive, as he can identify every fulcrum op and location - very stupid move on the part of fulcrum really.

Wern't they expecting that it would brainwash chuck into become a fulcrum agent?

[HumanoidCorvin]

Chuck should stand up to Casey. Kill him, he did say he wanted to shoot him that Christmas episode.

[cousteau]

Wern't they expecting that it would brainwash chuck into become a fulcrum agent?

well...No. It's reasonable to assume that the data doesn't really screw with your psychology, because chuck is still chuck - regardless of holding the intersect in his brain, and I'm fairly sure they didn't know he was an agent until much later on.

[HumanoidCorvin]

It would have been cool to see a Dark Chuck. Oh well, at least he can fit one intersect and a dark intersect prototype in his mind.

I really think next season is going to be chuck going underground - either way, fulcrum now knows he's an intersect...They just don't know he's both of them. hehe

Or Chuck goes on the run by himself outsmarting Sarah and Casey.

[cousteau]

I don't think he'd leave his family behind.

[hellnback]

i keep thinking they should have chuck somehow reveal his secret to his friend. maybe he doesn't tell him but his friend (why do i always forget his name) finds out on his own. i keep wanting to see an episode where both chuck and his friend have to deal with some fulcrom agents. but of course that would put his friend in danger. but what does that matter anymore. fulcrom is going to want chuck no matter what, and since they know it's chuck they might as well go after his sister now. so why wouldn't they also go for his friend too.

[closetclana]

Fulcrum doesn't know that Chuck is the intersect. They know that he is a "person of interest" but so far every Fulcrum agent that has found out about Chuck's secret has been killed.

It's kind of like Smallville in that way. You know when some guest star learns about Clark's secret that they are going to be killed. (Like those red shirted guys in the old Startrek shows.)

The creators have hinted that someone new will learn Chuck's secret by the end of the season. I'm betting on Ellie because I think they could use a doctor in future plots. (again, it's like smallville in that every season someone new learns Chuck's secret. Then that person is forced to start lying to cover it up as well.)

Actually its either being killed or wiping their memory.

[jkashuba07]

Human has a point!;)

I'm not positive they know he is the intersect, because like previous threads everyone who confirmed either died, or was arrested.

Whats for sure is that they know something is going on with Chuck, and his two agents!

Well yeah, Chuck wants to shoot Casey and have sex with Sarah. She's one hot tamale.

Actually I'd say Chuck loves Casey, Its Casey who would like to shoot Chuck, lol

And I'd say feelings and thoughts about sex are mutual between Chuck and Sarah, lol

yep!!!

Next time your on a date you'll know what we want to do, so you don't even have to ask! ;)

[SGuthrie27]

I'm curious to see what will happen now that Chuck has Fulcrum's version of the Intersect downloaded into his cranium along with the original version. I don't think we've seen the last of the effects this will have on him, do you? I was actually rather expecting him to do something unexpected at the end of the episode that shows that his "reprogramming" isn't as innocent as a simple download of information. What do you all think?

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[closetclana]

We know that we will see nothing of the Fulcrum intersect in this next epi Chuck vs the Best Friend because it is being shown out of order (it was supposed to be aired before Chuck vs 3D). But perhaps in the one after that.

It will be interesting to see what the effects of the Fulcrum info will be.

[red_sun1938]

Best LOL moment for me had to be the whole Big Mike internet dating subplot and finding out he's dating Morgan's mom. Hilarious.

[krpto]

^How utterly male this conversation has turned. Killing and sex - is that all you guys think about?
How exactly is that a male conversation? outside of k-site I see just as many if not more women then men talking like that.

[jkashuba07]

krypto nice avatar!!!

closet its not that they were shown out of order so to speak. Josh decided to rearange them because he thought the order of events would be this way.

the real reason I think is because hes afraid of the possibility of getting canceled. He wants to end this season with Chuck and Sarah in each others pants (so to speak) so that if it is canceled it ended on a good note, one that makes the fans happy they were finally get together!

[Welling_is_pretty]

I have to admit, this was another episode I wasn't too fond of.

It started out cute (Valentine's Day) and the side story of Big Mike getting a divorce.

Chuck and Sarah having to pretend to be married though, using the Carmichael name.

And can I ask? How does Big Mike not know who Lando Calrissian is? I thought everyone knew that?

Chuck getting hit on by a married woman was cute.

And Chuck having to use that to 'undercover'. Him ending up hand cuffed to the bed was also pretty funny. And then watching him climb over the roof (in his underwear, again!) was good.

Finding out the whole neighborhood was Fulcrum and them using it as a cover to create the Fulcrum intersect and test it out was a nice twist.

Using the Intersect as a weapon was really clever too.

And Big Mike dating Morgan's Mom. Now that was a total surprise.

So yeah, some cute moments but overall a bit disappointing.

[Melekith]

I just received my season 1 and 2 blu-rays so I've been going thru them about 2 eps per day.

@ Welling_is_pretty: I know it's been months since you've posted, and perhaps you may never see this, but what about this episode were you not fond of? You mentioned some cute moments, but you listed all major events from the episode, start-to-finish.

Hmmm. Mostly it was the overall 'feel' to it that I disliked. It felt...rushed. We spent so much time on the 'cute' moments (like the handcuffs scene, etc.) that I felt we didn't really delve into the important stuff.

Plus, this episode felt like too much of a parody (of Desperate Housewives), for me.

So while it did have some cute moments and all I guess I just disliked the basic storyline.

I'm not explaining myself well, sorry!
