Seriously, they need to do more with Ellie. Especially since it kind of totally sucks that now her brother and her husband know more about her family's reality than she does, that she doesn't get to have explanations for her father's disappearance or her brother's oddities or the clusterfuck that was her first attempt at a wedding. And she doesn't even get to know she was in mortal danger - and of COURSE it was the woman, who's been kept in the dark, who had to be the one in danger. So yeah. They damn well better do something more with Ellie.
I kinda liked the Buy More crew, but mainly as comic relief, if often way overdone. But I am content to see them go. It always bothered me that Chuck gets to be the nerd-as-hero but the other guys are feminized-in-a-bad-way and are laughable in any of their attempts to be the least bit heroic. They deserved more than their characterizations gave them.
