Wife and I just caught up on the 8 episodes sitting on our DVR...I loved them, still love the show...quirky, cheesy at times, but just a heck of a lot of fun.

I love how they've finally integrated everyone into the group...Morgan is soooo fantastic as a "spy"...he's perfect for it :)

I think they had to go that direction with Morgan. Part of the shows fun was the interaction between Chuck and KC because Chuck was anything but a spy. With the new intersect all that has changed and took some of that away from the show. By bringing Morgan into the fold, that part of the show is back.

'Chuck' scoop: Mama Bartowski to be played by… Sarah freakin' Connor!

The search for Chuck’s mom has officially been terminated, and with good reason: Linda Hamilton has already landed the part!

The erstwhile Sarah Connor will make her first appearance as Zachary Levi’s MIA spy mama Mary Bartowski in Chuck‘s fourth-season premiere on Sept. 20. (Hamilton’s hiring is slated to be announced at Chuck‘s Comic-Con panel this morning.)

“We’re always looking for guest stars who will be great in the part, but who also speak to our audience and feel like it comes out of the universe of our show,” says exec producer Josh Schwartz. “If Chuck and Morgan were watching Chuck, they would be excited about Linda coming on board.” Adds fellow EP Chris Fedak: “Chuck was certainly a Terminator fan, and Morgan was a Beauty and the Beast fan.”

But Schwartz is quick to add that Hamilton brings more to the role than just a fanboy-friendly resume. “Obviously her body of work was important to us, but also knowing what this part was and the intensity that we were going to need from someone, Linda was a natural fit. She’ll be [kicking ass] right out of the gate.”

“The mystery surrounding Chuck’s mom is at the heart of the season, and there are going to be some shocking surprises in the first episode,” previews Fedak. “By the end of the episode we are going to turn everything on its head with regard to who she is.”

I don't know. I think this show is pretty close to dying myself. I've loved it, but how many full story arcs can you have in one season? With a show like this, it's usually one main story line/villain line. We've had like 5 this season. It's just a confused jumble, and it doesn't seem magical any more.

Dalton was an awesome bad guy. Maybe the show has too many special guests but you can't expect Dalton to be on the entire season. I would take a short arc like they did with him any day of the week.

Some of the episodes have been hilarious this season as well. I guess that is why I like this show. It can do from one tone to the other. Last nights episode was a perfect example.
