It was awful.
I'm serious, I could barely stand to finish watching it. The whole thing was based around the premise of Sarah's old team called "C.A.T.S." (can't you just see all the possible AWFUL jokes, euphemisms, etc that can come out of that?). One of the worst parts was when they were introduced (the team), and they all said, you guessed it, "Meeeyow!" in the a-typical "sexy tigress" sort of way. It escalated with the dozens upon dozens of "Kitty kitty" jokes, as well as plenty of lame lines like "the CATS are back". There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this script in the least bit. The traitor was predictable (there's no way the one who's originally blamed could be it, the returning cast member has to be innocent, that leaves one obvious person), the traps were unsurprising, the always-awful lines delivered by General Beckman, etc. I threaten again: I may seriously consider not watching this show again. I'm hoping something very very good will come out of the season finale, but I'm not crossing my fingers anymore.
As a side note, I was pleased with the backstory of Morgan finally saying "I Love You" to Alex in order to save their relationship. Everything about that was nice, and it was also different. Sure it was predictable, but you can get away with that in romance.
My final verdict is this: Chuck's first two seasons were the bomb. Serious awesomeness. Season three was very good in my opinion, but slightly more scattered than the first two. This new season is no longer about the intersect, and barely about the CIA. It is now a comedy/drama about Chuck and Sarah's relationship and relationships with others that happens to involve CIA missions and the occasional flash from Chuck when necessary. Downhill faster than Calvin and Hobbes talking Philosopy.
