Linux on Film: Chuck Season 4 - "Chuck vs. Agent X"

Category: Linux
 
Although "Chuck" has plenty of episodes displaying Windows products and prominently features the iPhone on many episodes (and a sad reference to the Microsoft Zune), there was only one episode which clearly referenced Linux.  However, a brief but obvious Root terminal is displayed in the Season 4 episode, "Chuck vs. Agent X."  The commands are fictional but Unix-like with technical-sounding terms like "lock," "parse," and "initialize."  It's not surprising that many flicks and shows use Linux or Unix to provide the illusion of a very technical person, event, or situation.  What is surprising is that "Chuck" didn't feature it as often as it should have.
