UPDATE - 10/30@1:51PM: There's a great writeup on the episode by Sarah Jersild over at Zap2it.com.

UPDATE - 10/28@11:52AM: You can also watch it at NBC.com.

UPDATE - 10/28@10:03AM: In case you missed the show last night you can catch the entire thing online at hulu.com. The first Rush reference occurs at about the 22-minute mark, then the big reference happens at the 33-minute mark. I won't bother explaining it... just watch.

As I'd mentioned a couple of weeks back, tonight's episode of the Emmy Award Winning NBC action/comedy Chuck will contain a major Rush reference. Episode 5 of season 2 is titled Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer and will air at 8PM EST. If you're not familiar with the show, it centers on Chuck Bartowski - a computer geek who becomes a secret agent after receiving an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working in the CIA. The message is subliminally encoded with the only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets and when Chuck opens the email he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain.
