I see Fulcrum as basically the section 31 of the chuckverse – ignoring the rules to reach their goal (protecting America?) by any means necessary. Ends justifying the means kin of thing.
that makes a lot of sense. i guess i'm just wondering what added benefits they receive by going fulcrum. or maybe it's an alias/alliance thing, where they just want as much power as possible?
great review! yay for chuck revealing how he is not just a hapless confused CIA-puppet, but that hes been plotting all this time to de-intersect himself! (i was wondering what the tron poster pay-off would be since its been referenced in lots of eps this season).
question – why is fulcrum working so hard to develop a human intersect? humans die! and get tortured, and are flawed and easily succumb to money bribes. is it really such a good thing to be pouring all their resources into? seems awfully vulnerable to me!
also – from next week's previews – it looks like the entire cast of chuck all need haircuts. casey! chuck! what is going on with the helmet-head, guys?
and agreed – great twist that cole wasnt bad!
"is this mahogany?"
haha that's a really good point- seriously, what are the benefits to having a human intersect? is it for the feeling of accomplishing the seemingly impossible? it certainly seems way more trouble than an external hard drive.
and i've been praying for haircuts since this season started. sigh..
"why is fulcrum working so hard to develop a human intersect?"
I think the goal is to have an implantation interface that they can use on all of their agents, thus lessening the need for teams of handlers. If every agent can use the intersect information to do on-the-spot threat assessment, the organization becomes more efficient and effective.
(Can I fanwank, or what?)
You forgot one of the best highlights: Robert Picardo! That guy is popping up every-damn-where in genre shows, and I for one am pleased about that.
New, confident Chuck is a wonderful sight to behold. It's taken a while, but I think he's finally figured out that Sarah feels the same way he does. She's just better trained (by both her childhood and the CIA) to hide it. I also love how proactive Chuck's being with the research, and that he's trying to get rid of his high-tech problem in such a low-tech way. Nobody can remotely hack his treasured Tron poster, after all.
"Will Ellie and Chuck’s dad emerge by the end of this season?"
Yes, he will, and I think you're going to love who they've cast.
omg i DO love who they've cast!! i just found out who it is and i am SERIOUSLY psyched about it.
Why the secrecy? Who did they cast (for those of us too lazy to go spelunking for information)?

Scott Bakula? Okay, that's just too cool on many levels.
Monday's episode rocked! But the link won't work for me right now for some reason! Blahh! I'll have to try again in a little bit….oh, the suspense…..
for a second i was thinking Scott Baio, and I thought "finally, a reason to watch this show."
Scott Bakula is good too. As long as he's actually Chuck's dad and not just occupying him for this 'leap.' Or maybe Dr. Samuel Beckett is chuck's dad!!
