(S03E19) I continue my opinion from the last episode of 'Chuck.' This episode was awesome.

It's difficult to talk about it without using heavy spoilers. The Subway restaurant chain has been so good to this show, I'm surprised they didn't turn an entire episode into a 42-minute commercial like Stride Gum did on 'Smallville.' Still, Subway earned that extended promotion from Big Mike.

There were nice little callbacks sprinkled throughout the episode and little Easter Eggs as well. For instance, Ted Roark's name as well as several previous villains appeared on the cabinets in the former Bartowski residence. Also, young Chuck was wearing a Superman t-shirt and then fighting Superman to the death in a later scene.

Dear NBC: Please, please, please put the Jeffster! video online somewhere. Maybe even let people download the MP3. Thank you.

The biggest reveal of this episode is that Chuck has been the host of the Intersect since he was a little kid. Granted, it probably was an early and not very useful version of the Intersect, but it's still surprising that he hasn't been flashing since childhood. With Daddy Bartowski gone, what happens if/when the Governor malfunctions or breaks? I guess we'll find out next season.

The Buy More blew up. That was Point Two on my list. Overall, I got four out of five without even seeing these episodes. Not bad.

Who else noticed that Shaw used the American flag to swing to safety after he was exposed as working for The Ring (oh, and the whole "recording the confession" tactic could be seen a mile off)? Could the analogy be any more obvious?

Granted, now there is no reason to include Jeff, Lester and Big Mike in next season what with Jeffster! on the run from the law. I hope they do it anyway. How do you think those three will be involved in Chuck's life next year?

The Ring was apparently as easily disposable as Fulcrum. Who the Hell were the Elders? I recognized none of them. I understand about budgetary concerns for the show, but after keeping them in shadow for all this time it would have been nice if they were someone we actually gave a crap about.

I was wondering where the show could go in the next season and the writing team let me know. Chuck will now be on a quest to find his mother and that will make him break his promise to Ellie and bring him back into the spy game. Judging by the list of various groups lining the files of Stephen Bartowski, there should be no shortage of enemy organizations to use for next season.

Chuck is still finding his purpose and his insane life has thrown yet another obstacle in the way. I guess next his grandparents will miraculously show up. And there's still room for Chuck to have a child, thus fulfilling Point Three on the list. See you next year.
