Yes, it was great. I'm a fan of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin from his WWE days. And it's great to see the "Chuck" producers added another hot chick to the show.

I wonder if Sarah will get jealous of Hannah.

Yea KK is hot as hell but Stone Cold made that episode. I loved how he just kept waking up. I wanna see Baldwin and Stone Cold face off, I hope they bring that character back at some point.

Casey doesn't have a chance against Austin('s character). It'd be as one-sided as if Casey fought Jeff/Lester/Morgan. Yes, it'd be great if Austin returned.

But it was pretty lame that after Chuck beat Austin the 1st time (using his mad fencing skills) and got the key, that he let Austin come back up. He should've tied him up against something in the luggage area.

It looks like Chuck is getting better at flashing on demand. I wonder how long a flash lasts for. For example, he flashed to learn to fence and use nunchucks. How long are those skills effective for? Does he forget them after a day and has to re-flash to learn those skills? In the "Matrix", when Neo learned a skill, it was forever.

Yeah, I was thinking at the time I would of thrown him off the plane, or stab him.

But then Stevie couldn't return :/

I don't think Chuck has it in him to kill anyone, no matter how bad the bad guy is.

Yeah, he doesn't, but I always root for him to kill someone, and that would of been a good time.

It seems like he's not so much learning the skill but rather learning what to do next. It's like someone feeding you the answers to a test one after the next. At the end you don't know what you did, but you got all the answers right.

And I don't agree with Casey vs. Austin. I doubt we've seen all that Casey can do, and Austin didn't seem unbeatably impressive, he's just big more than anything else. He punched Chuck in the gut and Chuck got back up. BTW: Chuck did tie him up, but he escaped somehow.

Or a ring spy was my initial thought.

I would've thought as a ring spy she'd have helped in the last episode though. They were just toying with the audience to make them think that so that the flight attendant would blindside us as the second ring agent. I think it's relatively clear now that KK is not a ring agent, but she could still be a spy.

I wonder if he'll ever kill anyone during this show. The only circumstance would be if it was somehow required to save a loved one's life.

Wouldn't knowing what to do next with a learned skill really be learning the skill? I know what you mean in that he learns instincts and reflex moves when he flashes on a new skill. But how long do those instincts last? Will he be able to react w/ a sword if he gets in another fencing battle the next day, week, or month?

Well, in terms of characters, yes, Casey probably knows how to torture, etc. But in real life, Austin would destroy Baldwin. Chuck should've flashed on tying a knot so that Austin's character wouldn't have gotten loose.

Obviously I'm talking about their spy characters, not 'real life'. But ether way, you realize that wrestling is scripted, right? Austin is huge but it's not like he has real fighting experience. He could be a huge p ussy for all we know. The only person he's ever actually beat up was Debra (his wife). And I doubt Chuck had a problem tying the knot, the other Ring agent (flight attendant) probably freed him.

As for the skill thing, be thinking is that the flash tells him what to do next. Like if there's something coming at him it tell him 'block with right forearm'. It doesn't teach him the instinct, it just literally tells him what motion to do under given circumstances. If the instinct is instilled in him, he's basically become Jason Bourne. He has to maintain this version of the abilities to keep in line with the show.
