Chuck

Re: Chuck

I don't like the whole dream thing they have Chuck doing. It just seems way too unrealistic, predicting the future. I mean I know that his dreams aren't all that accurate but there is just no correlation between the events in his dreams and data that's on the intersect, considering the intersect is the reason he's having these dreams. I mean how the hell is he gonna know if Shaw is alive or not? I know the whole concept of the show is a bit unrealistic but the whole dreaming thing is just way too nonsensical for me.

That said, the last episode has picked things up a bit and I'm looking forward to the finale. The few episodes before this one have been pretty disappointing, but bringing back the dad angle always make for a good storyline. I really don't want Ellie to find out all of the spy business going on. Things are moving a little too fast. I know the show's future was in jeopardy but they're jumping the shark a bit prematurely. I was kind of disappointed how soon Morgan and Awesome found out about Chuck, and how he and Sarah are already a couple and acting like they're married.

Re: Chuck

I understand what you are saying, but I don't get "how soon Morgan and Awesome found out". It took about 40 episodes for them to find out about him.

Anyways, FINALE TONIGHT. I can't wait. After seeing the Promo, it looks super intense.

Spoiler

And WOW. Promo showed that Ellie aparently finds out, and the Buy More freakin explodes!

I just preferred that none of the "civvies" knew his secret. I liked how they made storylines about how hard it was on Chuck to keep secrets from his friends and family. I understand how it could get old but the fact that the CIA/NSA are okay with them knowing and actively participating gets into the "too unrealistic" territory for me (again, disclaimer about the whole show's idea being unrealistic). Especially in the first season where Gen Beckman would threaten complete lockdown if anyone ever found out, and now all of a sudden it's cool.

The episode where Morgan found out is still one of my favs of the series though...

Chuck wasn't a spy in the first season though. Now he is one of the most valuable spies Beckman has.

Re: Chuck

Chuck has lost 4 of their main writers/producers recently:

Phil Klemmer, Ali Adler, Scott Rosenbaum, and Matt Miller.

This might have an impact on the quality of episodes next season.

It still looks like the 2 creators do a bulk of the work, so I'm not really worried...

Re: Chuck

My god what a loaded finale. They have just truly outdone themselves.

Best. Episode. EVER.

Spoiler

At first hated the fact that they brought Shaw back from the dead, but LOVED the twist that turned him into the ultimate villain.

At first wasn't sure about involving Ellie, but man those were some powerful scenes, couldn't pull it off without her.

Can't believe Chuck's dad is gone.

Casey's daughter is pretty cute.

Morgan funny as usual, and was pretty useful on the team.

Who else saw the "I broadcasted your evil plot confession to the world" move from a mile away? Still badass though.

Love how they left things wide open for Season 4. Chuck's dad running a whole spy op by himself?! And how is his mom involved in all this?! Can't wait for S4 already. Maybe I'll get my wish and Chuck will end up having to hide his secret from everyone again after he picks up where his dad left off.

Re: Chuck

I was worried they wouldnt have a storyline for season 4, I think they got one now.

Very good finale.

Time to gloat

Spoiler

Called Chuck's dad dying, when he said he wouldnt leave Ellie.

Maybe I missed it, but did Chuck tell Ellie he was quiting?

Yeah, he said he was quitting. And technically he could still hold to that promise because he won't be in the CIA anymore if he's only working on his dad's operations. Does that mean no more Beckman?

Spoiler

I hope Jeffster stays on the show.

[Titan2810]

Re: Chuck

Jeffster is staying. I read a quote from Shwartz (I think, might have been Fedak) who said it would be hard to imagine the show without Jeffster. Good signs, good signs.

Spoiler

BTW, I'm confused with the Big Mike - Jeffster scene where Jeffster said the only way to save their jobs was to blow up the Buy More. How does that save their jobs? Insurance paying for all the items destroyed?

Re: Chuck

Epic Epic season finale.

So much went down tonight:

- Shaw was defeated but he still isn't dead
- The Ring Elders appear to be captured
- The Intersect program was going to be shut down but it didn't happen
- Chuck's Dad is dead
- Ellie found out about Chuck being a spy
- Jeffster are fugitives
- Big Mike's future is unknown
- The Buy More was blown up
- Chuck has "retired"
- Chuck is now going to search for him Mom
- Casey finally revealed to his daughter that he was her father

Someone get me a cig, lol.

Fedak said when they only had 13 episods, the fight between Shaw and Chuck was suppose to be at the Eiffel Tower but they scaled it back to the bridge once they knew they had 6 more episodes.

I'm glad the Chuck team has more time to plan out next season but I'm worried about how NBC has only committed to 13 episodes with an option for a back 9. Knowing how many episodes there are makes a big difference in the storytelling.

Re: Chuck

wow, what a great finale. Thats how you do it. I was just smiling the whole 2 hours. Well done, well done.

Re: Chuck

Morgan's line from "Cobra" was classic when him and Casey captured the Ring operatives.

"Your a disease, and I'm the cure."

[rsnomar05]

Re: Chuck

I really hope they play out Morgan having a relationship with Casey's daughter. The comedic potential for that storyline is off the charts.

Re: Chuck

Of all the finale's I watched in the last week, this one took the cake. I didn't expect much from it to be honest and was pleasantly blown away.
