Development
Fulcrum was first introduced in the Season One episode "Chuck Versus the Nemesis." The organization remained a threat for the remainder of the season, most prominently in "Chuck Versus the Marlin." Josh Schwartz revealed in an interview with Sci Fi Magazine that season two would focus more specifically on Fulcrum and the main story arc. However while the organization has played an increasingly larger and more threatening role in the series, little definite information has been revealed on their structure. Chuck has been positively ID'd as the Intersect by at least three different agents but beyond being a person of interest, he has yet to be specifically targeted although Fulcrum operatives are familiar with him as "Agent Carmichael." Fulcrum's parent organization knows something is happening in the Buy More but believe that it is something unrelated to the Intersect, believing it to be a CIA substation.
At the end of "Chuck Versus the Lethal Weapon", it is revealed that Chuck has been keeping a complex diagram hidden behind his Tron poster detailing connections between the Intersect and several Fulcrum agents. "Chuck Versus the Ring" reveals that Fulcrum is only one part of a broader organization known as "the Ring."
