CHUCK Versus the Bearded Bandit - 5.02 Episode Discussion

This is the 80th episode of the series! Here is what WB is saying about it:

Logline

Synopsis
As the team takes on a missing persons case, Chuck and company struggle to establish themselves as Carmichael Industries in the face of a rival security firm led by the tough and efficient Gertrude Verbanski (recurring guest star CARRIE-ANNE MOSS — The Matrix). Meanwhile, Morgan continues to adjust to the Intersect, while Chuck adjusts to being Morgan’s handler. Also, the Buy More finds an unlikely spokesperson to help motivate business. JEFF FAHEY (Lost, Grindhouse) and JUSTIN HARTLEY (Smallville) also guest star.

So what do you expect? What did you think? What do you rate it (once you have seen it, of course)?

UPDATE: Here is what I had to say about it over at GeekFurious.com.

TVLine: CHUCK spoiler info from Chris Fedak!

Chuck Boss Teases Sarah's 'Epic' Backstory, Bruised Bromance, a Blown-Out Finale and More!

Since it is Fedak, you know he will add to fan delusions of grandeur and promise more than can ever be delivered. But I love this guy anyway!

Expect the comments below to get spoilery so don't post if you don't want to know anything.

Yeah, this thing has been around for days but I do what I want, man!

EOnline Spoiler: CHUCK 5.02

Ronnie in Anaheim, Calif: Morgan in Chuck's season premiere was really funny, but I feel like Chuck should be the one with the Intersect.
We're totally picking up what you're putting down, but now it's Morgan's (Joshua Gomez) time to shine. In the week's episode, an overly eager Morgan is willing to do whatever it takes to be taken seriously.... (CLICK TO READ THE ANSWER)

Geek Furious: CHUCK Stuff Worth Reading

A few of articles you will want to check out from the site.

First is my review of CHUCK Vs. the Zoom. Full of adult language so the kids should definitely NOT read it (which means they will if you don't supervise their computer time).

Next is a breakdown of ratings for CHUCK from last season's finale and this season's premiere, plus a comparison between CHUCK and GRIMM, rating wise.

That second one is very safe for your little ones. Only I have a potty mouth.

Finally, if you haven't checked it out yet, there is the CHUCK 5.01 podcast with Wendy and myself that we did immediately following the episode on Friday. Yeah, that's not over at GF but I thought to drop it in here anyway. :)
