I love Chuck, best show on TV since BabV!  (Spoilers if you haven't completed S2)But...  The whole Matrix thing in the final episode of S2 is a potentially huge problem for S3.  What's the purpose for Casey or Sarah if Chuck knows Kung Fu?  (OK, granted, Sarah fills more then one role here, as love interest and all, but still...)My suggestion for a solution:  Add a significant cost to the new ability(s), such as a extreme hit on his Adrenals causing him to black out briefly after tapping such abilities.  The opening episode could pick up where the last episode left off, but with his colapsing right after declaring his new ability.  Hopefully they already plan this.Other obvious issues:  He just quit the Buymore, which eliminates his cover, and a good number of the cast from future interaction. Lots of potential solutions:  (1) send him back (orders from on-high), this however has a raft of other problems, unless he (1a) is made a manager, or (1b) comes up with a not-lame reason for going back that Ellie would accept (see 3 for example).  (2) have him create his own variation on a Buymore (i.e.; make Charles real, which adds all kinds of potential for cover and plot).  (3) Have him create a Consulting business, which takes over the Nerd Herd portion of the business, and adds opportunities for interaction at a different level, including the perils of being a boss to Lester, Jeff, etc.  Issue:  Morgan is off to Hawaii.  Not sure here, having him fail would be bad.  Perhaps he could become a successful knife weilding sidekick.  (This may be moot if he's not coming back to the show).  Issue:  Bryce is dead.  <again>.  So maybe this isn't really a problem, but I would hate to see them revive him <again>, that would get old, unless it happened immediately, and by our heroes doing some real-live CPR, etc. at the start of S3.  Academic if he wasn't renewed, in which case he becomes the person that Chuck will always have to compete with even though he's dead.(Enough, sorry, I'm tired, Good day all.)
