Chuck verses the A-team

I love "Chuck"... Phew, now that's out of the way, tonight's episode was pretty solid in "Chuck" standards(which are pretty high to me).  It was an episode that was made after the Volkoff arc (which was supposed to be the final episode of the season).  The episode was, how should I say this, er... distracting.  The part I have not been able to shake off is the platen product placement, they gave Chuck the Sienna to boast, and  didn't even have him do anything "Chuck like" with it (the force door was fine, but only fine).  When the are caught by the GRETAs in, I'm gonna call it "Dark Castle"(patent pending), the kung fu part could have had more emotion, like have Sarah fight them first, get knocked down and have Chuck come rescue her.  I like the subplots, Ellie and awesome was funny, but I thought they could have done more with the Jeffster side of it, imagine all next season Jeffster being paranoid over the CIA stealing laptops (the idea reminds me of a Chuck verses the isle of terror episode from Halloween 2010, in terms of them freaking out).  Other stuff; bomb defusion scene was cool, I liked the whole Hurt Locker meets McGyver thing, apple juice was kinda, eh, but hey, it worked.  Oh yeah, a line I felt was misplaced, When Chuck says that the two GRETAs took out five guys 1) they easily took out more than that when they first saw the GRETAs in this episode, 2) I'm pretty sure (not positive) that Sarah has taken out more on her own.  Also when Capt. Victoria Dunwoody shot the bomber (I'm blanking on his name) the flash was unnecessary.  Music in the episode was good, like usual.  All of these are small so its all good.
What did you think?
