I agree, this episode had everything I enjoy in a Chuck. A little action, a little romance, some comedy. I know I hope every episode will be the season 2 finale but I watched Chuck before it reached those dizzying highs for that exact formula and that's what I got tonight.

I always enjoy when tv shows tie themselves together like that. I was just watching an episode of Greek where some of the characters go to work for Party Down catering and even wear the same silly pink bow ties. It was just nice to get that little nod.

Something about the details are off. How about a guy in Ohio whose a lawyer that practices out of the shoe store he runs?

I saw two hilarious training videos during my time as a wage slave. The first was a sexual harassment video for a theater chain. The come ons were so forced and insulting you couldn't even believe people would find them upsetting. There was also the realization you had done a few of the things the video asked you not…

"But Captain Picard!"
I love the part in 'Nth Degree' when Riker inquires if Barclay's pass landed. First he's blocking Crusher from leaving and you can just see it in her eyes that she wishes they would just get a holodeck. Then when Troi chooses not to tell him anything Riker looks back at Picard, who obviously has…

I know we always say DS9 does it better but early in the run a few Bajorans refer to their own planet as BA-jor instead of Bay-JOR. If anyone was going to get it right you think they would and us silly Hew-mons would screw it up.

The 'Oh my God! Where did you get that brownie?' joke is one of my all-time favorite classic Simpsons jokes. Followed closely by 'Batman's a scientist.' which I somehow manage to work into day to day conversations all the time. I did twice last week!

Yeah, that's the one @St. God. They have to take this emerging lifeform to, remembered without looking it up…sigh, "New Vertiform City" to get powered up and poop out some bendy-straws.

She also has some nice turns on DS9, which I'm watching now, that'll help when we get to this mysterious 5x20 episode.

@Sajanas As Picard is so fond of telling us money no longer exists in the 24th century, and people work not for the acquisition of wealth, but for the betterment of all Humanity.

"Computer make a table."

Unless you erased it from your own memory! Quick, is your android pal acting funny?

Scotty would love this one…
As painful as "Galaxy's Child" is it introduced a classic sci-fi trope of "Like souring a baby's milk!" I think they even made fun of this in Futurama.

I've been looking forward to this article, which was an excellent side piece after reading The War for Late Night, and it did not dissapoint. Great work Noel.

I do remember being a little kid not being able to sleep and wandering out into the living room where my mom was watching Carson. She's let me watch a few minutes before marching me back to bed. It just seemed like the coolest thing one could do when they got to be older and stay up as late as they wanted. It's…

Jay Leno is history's greatest monster!

Wait, the pregnant actress is a virgin? This could be the beginning of the greatest development ever told!

I like how this episode is like the proto version of the film.

I'm also in the camp that feel that the numbers worked. It's all the fun of a classic HIMYM gimmick, combined with copious callbacks for the invested fans, and visually hit you with it's message. I guessed at three, knew for sure at two, and had my heart broken at 1 due to Segel and Hannigan's acting. These are my TV…

I was going to joke around and say where's Firefly and follow up with a clarification for Mass Effect 3. Glad someone already beat me to it.
