Well did Orion actually say when he was flashed? I mean if not he could have actually been flashed when Chuck was "unflashed", and he did it on purpose because he knew someone had to have the intersect in them until the new one is built.

Orion said he put the intersect in him when he was much younger and first building the intersect. So his intersect was already in him at the time. He flashed at the party after the wedding.

'Chuck' back, but on tighter budget

"Chuck" will live to fight another day, albeit on a tighter budget.

NBC and Warner Bros. TV struck a 13-episode third-season renewal deal on Sunday for the action-comedy that has a modest but passionate fanbase.

Like virtually every other primetime skein on the Big Four nets, "Chuck" will return next season with a smaller production budget. The renewal haggling between NBC and Warner Bros. TV over the past few weeks has centered entirely on cost-cutting issues, insiders said.

"Chuck," which stars Zachary Levi as a regular-Joe computer geek who winds up with CIA secrets implanted in his head, averaged 2.8 rating/7 share in the adults 18-49 demographic and 7.3 million viewers during its sophomore season in the Monday 8 p.m. timeslot.

Series got off to a solid start in its freshman year but was interrupted by the writers strike. Fans mounted elaborate "Save Chuck" campaigns during the past two months, including a tie-in with the Subway sandwich chain, that merited a shoutout on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart."

Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak co-created "Chuck" and exec produce along with McG and Scott Rosenbaum.

Never underestimate the power of a $5 footlong.

NBC has finalized a deal to bring Chuck back for a third season, multiple sources confirm.

That's the good news. Here's the bad news: The 13-episode pickup came after Warner Bros. agreed to make significant budget concessions, including scaling back the number of episodes several members of the show's stellar supporting cast will appear in and, per one insider, possibly eliminating one actor altogether (R.I.P. Anna Wu?). The show is also expected to cut two of its staff writers.

More Commercials = Shorter shows= Cheaper Shows

Not saying they are but the collective sigh for the whole show is there. The show is now on Fridays, on a smaller budget, just lose two writers and might lose an actor.

That's doesn't mean the show is dead to rights, I highly doubt tbh if you notice a difference in the stories the stuff you might notice is in the characters less on screen at once etc.
