  1. The end of BUY MORIA would be something… it’d be interesting to see the Buy More crew move on to bigger things next season… that is if you count Underpants, etc. as a step up in the corporate world!

    This looks too good to be true! Shaw as a villian is definitely more entertaining than the previous Shaw we knew!

  2. I can hardly wait.

  3. What does the “Thanks Chuck Fans” even mean?

  4. Can’t watch it! Please, someone with a good heart, upload it to youtube.

  5. Hey mel how do think josh and chris feel about this promo? Big spoiler in it.

  6. omgosh theres one bit in the promo and it looks like chuck is really upset and people are holding him back.. you don’t think someone dies in this episode… do you?? do YOU???

    • if you pause it at 20 secs you see shaw firing a gun and you can see the collar of chuck. and then you keep playing and you see cia people holding chuck back and he’s really upset.. i really think someones either going to die or get seriously injured.

    • It looks like it’s at a warehouse when he’s being held, not at the Buy More. Ellie is there and so is Beckman. Maybe his dad? That would suck big time if it was any of them. (They better not hurt Ellie!) Has Beckman gone evil?

      Jeffster is on the tv screens. It looks like Shaw is being strangled at one point. And he grabs Sarah. There’s also some kind of committee with Beckman and the giant photo of Chuck up on the screen. And why is Chuck in what appears to be a holding cell? I’m scared for Big Mike too. He doesn’t like when people try to hurt the BM. He smacked that dude in S2 beating on Casey. But an intersected Shaw would be too much for Big Mike! There’s also a child looking at computers- is that Chuck as a tot?

      The Casey revelation! Ellie sees Chuck! Morgan trapped? An explosion? And where in the world is Captain Awesome? I can’t handle this….!! My head just exploded……….

      • yehh i watched it again.. i don’t think its ellie that dies. i have a sneeaking suspicion its their father.

      • I think it is Sarah that will be killed by Shaw, with Chuck being unable to save her.

      • Do you really think it is Sarah that’s going to get killed? I don’t think Josh Schwartz would go for that..Back in his O.C. days when they killed off Marissa Cooper’s character at the end of season 3 that really didn’t go over very well. But anything is possible in TV land.

        Papa Bartowski’s demise seems likely on my end.

      • I think Papa B or Beckman would be logical choices. The death looks like it happens in a bunker and then the final showdown at the Buy More.

        If Sarah were dead I doubt Chuck would be capable of quips or jokes. He would have just walked into the BM and ripped Shaw in half! Now- she could be presumed dead and run away thinking she’s too dangerous for Chuck…that he might be better off without her. The romantic angst! 🙂

        Or Big Mike could die or get hurt rescuing Morgan. No way Mike leaves the building until he gets all of his employees out. Especially Morgan who he considers a son.

      • I can buy the idea that Sarah gets killed. Don’t forget, this is the series where both Bryce Larkin and Daniel Shaw were “killed”, yet managed to be brought back to life. Who will bring Sarah back to life?: Why Chuck of course, with the help of the 2.0.

      • i think sarah would get killed only if they were extremely desperate. i mean the ratings are low as it is. i don’t think they would piss of an entire fandom that pretty much helped them get a season 4 just because they want to stir it up.. and if they do they are incredibly stupid. who knows? maybe chuck and his dad die.

      • * but of course the intersect would save chuck.

      • Killing Sarah would completely ruin the show. The Sarah and Chuck relationship is one of the big reasons I, and many other people, watch the show (along with other reasons). I would stop watching if they killed her off…

      • SPOILER ALERT!!! OK, so if any of you had been paying attention to blogs and spoilers thru out the whole season as dedicated as me, you’d know for a fact that someone significant DOES die and that it is NOT Sarah. Big speculation that it could be Awesome, Ellie, or Papa B. So please, do your homework if you’re gunna make speculations, cuz half of your speculations have already been answered in previous spoilers and blogs.

      • Yes, I totally think that was Little Chuck for a couple of frames there. AWESOME.

      • When did you see Little Chuck? What frame please? I can’t find it.

      • Its right around the 13 second mark on the video above it goes by very fast

      • I’m going to take a stab regarding the holding cell. Shaw has an Intersect and he’s going to test it out against the US intelligence agencies and other targets before confronting Team B. It will be correctly deduced that these operations by a single man could only be carried out by an Intersect. The US intelligence apparatus is unaware that the Ring has a functioning Intersect so blame will fall on Chuck. Beckman will step up and back up Chuck.

      • Awesome take weaselone, I like that, If GB is on Team B’s side, she could be the one to help him and the gang escape, of course Chuck would have a trumped up charge on his head along with the rest of the band. That would lead to the team and their families on the run. I wonder if GB dies as well? that would be a game changer.

  7. Noooo the Buy More can’t blow up! I’m going to tell my self until next week that it’s just a flash/dream and everything is resolved before that happens. 🙂

  8. Can anyone send me a youtube link for the season finale promo? The vid here doesn’t work? Thanks

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeroL01w2w4&playnext_from=TL&videos=cEw_RutWhbM&feature=sub 🙂

  9. agent_chuckles

    i think it’s papa B that’s gonna die.i mean,i’m just saying…i hope chuck kills shaw for good this time.

  10. ”Alex, I’m your father” AAAAAA Can’t wait 🙂 The buy more goes up in a blaze of glory, all hell breaks loose in this two last episodes.

  11. I think Morgan is going to die..

  12. Here’s some production photos of Joshua Rush on the set. Joshua plays little Chuck and he’s cute as a button. (not as cute as my son, but close) They’re not spoilery at all so Mel should be ok with them.

    • Aww how cute. I love the one with him and Zach as I recall I think the kid played young Sylar on heroes…I bet the flashback maybe a tearjerker those poor kids… 🙁

  13. Thanks for posting this – I am apparently in one of the time zones that NBC HATES. 🙂 I cannot wait for the finale… and then, of course, season 4!

  14. Wow…my brain just can’t process all this…Man, it’s gonna be a loooong wait until next Monday! :-O

    • I’m just going to agree with all of that. I’ve never been so emotionally invested in the fate of fictional characters.

  15. Calm followers of Chuck!!!! They make the Promo expressly like that in order that we become nervous and see both episodes. Not forget that Hollywood always uses the “Happy End” and more when it is a question of a comedy. Ultimately in spite of some misfortune, Chuck and Sarah will be together to begin the season 4. For miseries already we have the real life and the world crisis.

  16. Don’t worry sure that there will be a Happy End. The Promo is alone to give us emotion and that we see all the 2 episodes. A couple of months ago Chris Fedak said in an interview there are two twists in the last two episodes of the season and that would like very much to the fans.

    • i don’t think a happy ending is what we’re gonna get. my beats on a very big cliffhanger

  17. WOW hope nobody was in the Buy More. lol This looks epic! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I am so siked right now. 🙂

  18. whooh!! 32 seconds of concerntrated awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait!

  19. I think Papa B. is going to die (so that Chuck has a flashback, while sitting next to him holding his dasd till he is dead)
    or its Morgan
    To be honest I dont know who is envolved in the relationship twists they are talking about
    can anyone clear me out?

  20. Ok Ive watched the preview 6X this morning and from what Ive seen somebody dies in a warehouse. Shaw kidnaps at the Buymore and Morgan is in Castle so they are safe this Season. It looks like Morgan,Sarah,Chuck and Shaw are at the Buymore. If Ellie,Sarah or Morgan died before the final battle Chuck would go crazy and not be the old Chuck anymore. Shaw has Sarah at Gun point in the Buymore. Also one of thing I can’t make out, but it looks like during the final fight with Shaw, Chuck is wearing his fathers gold watch as he is strangling Shaw. Im 80% sure that Papa B sacrifices himself to save his family and gives his son the Golden watch as he dies. Which as I said last night is an important plot device. Unfortunately the death has to be either the father or Devon, because Ellie is crying at 0:17, behind her Chuck is racing to the man on the ground. I think the finale will end with Shaw in Chuck a battle to the death with the Buymore exploding, leaving everyone to wonder the fate of Chuck. One other thing you guys may have missed, is Big Mike is racing into Castle to save Morgan. Monday’s series finale will be awesome!

    • Shaw kidnaps Sarah at the Buymore and Morgan is in Castle so they are safe this Season. Sorry ADD moment, sometimes my brain thinks faster then i can type and I leave out words XD

    • Blast I did it again….. wish this site had an edit button XD
      Last line is suppose to say SEASON Finale! NOT SERIES! I was an important factor in spreading the word about Chuck in the gaming community the last 3 months. See this why companies write me scripts to read for me to do voice over narration, cause when I write I mess up. Anyway once you guys look at the pictures,cause Im sure somebody on this site will do it. You will notice the person on the ground behind Ellie and Chuck is racing too is a man, not a woman! So that leaves, Casey,Papa B or Awesome….

    • There’s no way Big Mike is leaving the Buy More until everyone’s safe- that’s why he’s such a great character. He cares for Jeff, Lester and Morgan and he’d probably give his own life to keep them all safe. I just hope it doesn’t come to that.

    • I don’t see the watch on Chuck. You can see both his arms quickly when he enters the Buy More, and I don’t see a watch. It looks like he’s got a handgun though.

  21. I think this is gonna be the greatest finale in TELEVISION HISTORY! Amazing, I’ve watched the promo six times!

  22. I know we are renewed and may not matter much…but the Overnight ratings are here: http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/05/18/tv-ratings-house-finale-the-big-bang-theory-lead-night/51682

    Does not look like the ratings are improving much. =-/

    • Most of my friends watch Chuck exclusively on the internet via NBC’s website. One of them doesn’t even own a tv! I think NBC must realize that Chuck is a type of modern show that appeals to a younger, tech-savvy crowd who don’t even know what nielsen ratings are.

      • Tottaly Agree. Besides, I’m from Argentina, and as many other fans, we don’t get to see the show on Tv or influence in the ratings. But I was convinced to buy a dell computer when I saw Chuck using it. So, I think they should consider that.

  23. There’s a split second clip of a full CIA tribunal with a large picture of Chuck’s buy more mug shot on the wall. Looks like Beckman is talking to them all (17 seconds)

  24. Dylan Anderson

    I can’t last until Monday Now and i cant even watch it then because i have a band concert. So then i have to get up really early and watch it before school or i will be spoiled. i think season four should be a 22 hour Season Primeir/ Finale.

  25. hopelessromantic3

    OH! If you notice, when Chuck is going to slide-tackle Shaw (with 21 seconds left or 11 seconds in), the TV’s behind them have the JEFFSTER-worst-music-video-ever-made playing… this song, as we know, will connect to the significant death in the finale. Will it be Shaw? Or is the significant death just the Buy More? Well, that’s a bit of a stretch…

    • OMG death of the BUY MORE. You know i never thought of that. They did say a death but never said it was a person… so Buy more…. Maybe…..

      • yeah but if it was the death of buymore why would they show it in the promos? that would completely give away the ending

  26. There’s some interesting frames where the colors are inverted. It seems like at one point Chuck is in the same CIA room where his Buy More picture is being shown (around the midpoint) and another with Jeffster on TV with Jeff playing guitar in front of an explosion (with about 9 seconds left).

    It also looks like when Shaw waves, he’s on a train. Maybe this is the first time Chuck sees him again, after some sort of Subway attack?

    This might seem weird too, but does anyone think when Chuck says Shaw’s alive, that’s the back of Awesome’s head in Castle? He does like wearing blue!

    Also, Sarah pulling Shaw’s gun on him? Doesn’t look like she’s too hung up on him anymore!

    There’s a lot to process from 32 seconds out of approx. 84 mins. of show!

    • The frames where the color is inverted as in a negative photo mean its a flash, either a waking one or a dream flash. So I don’t believe Chuck’s really in the CIA room. Or maybe it will happen, but at that particular moment he’s dreaming it. Oh g__damnitall I dont know… but I can’t wait to find out! My brain hurts and I don’t even have a stupid intersect.

    • remember don’t trust anyone expect your partner.

  27. i love how we chuck fans analyse the promo to every little bit. when i read these comments it makes me happy to not be the only one that does it.

  28. i can’t even begin to say how incredibly, awesomely psyched i am for this… i don’t even know what to say, it’s so mind-blowing. THE SEASON FINALE OF CHUCK, you guys!!!!! can you believe it? how am i going to survive the entire summer waiting for next season when i can barely even go a week without watching chuck?

    • I know what you mean, although I will get a LOT of work done once Chuck is done till the fall. Amazing games coming out I have to review and do guides for May-August. I just hope Chuck air’s again in Sept. I can’t WAIT till October to far. Also are any of the psyched about the new Batman ish so called “The Cape”! I AM!

      • i know. thank god the season finale isn’t the day before my exams. i’m glad that next weeks the finale so that i can actually study and not fail my exams

  29. I just noticed the Buy More sign behind Shaw says “Stubborn?”. Quite fitting.

  30. i think that the thing with the buy more to blow up is not real. maybe its another vivid dream of chuck. if the buy more blew up in his dream,that is a sign for chuck that something not right is about to happen.

    aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! i’m freaking out. i cant figure things out with a very fast promo for this episode,i cant give it a good look. but i’m pretty sure that i did saw casey telling the truth to his daughter,and the part where morgan is in a bit of a jeopardy inside the buy more,it’s like he’s tied up by a rope in he’s body.

    god!i’m so freaking excited! pls. let it be monday soon. this will push me to sleep longer to make time run faster. 🙂

  31. did anyone notice sarah’s facial expression (13 seconds in)?? she looks worried about chuck!! AWW!! anyway, thoughts on this anyone??

  32. c’mon! how the heck is shaw still alive?!!!! oh well, were not sure yet if he really is alive it might be another crazy dream of chuck. but i’ve got a feeling that he really is alive because we saw that in the chuck vs the living dead that the hand the computer identified for the intersect to be activated is daniel shaw’s,and we saw in the promo that he is making chuck give his best flash for him to be able to fight another intersect and shaw is not moving and acting odd unlike in chuck’s dreams so i’m pretty sure he is alive. and i like him as a villain anyway,so THIS EPISODE WILL BE THE BEST EPISODE IN THE ENTIRE CHUCK SERIES AND THE ENTIRE CHUCK SEASON FINALES,but the finale of season 4 will be better when we get there.

    hey mel, why does Brandon Routh’s name isn’t in the spoiler’s guest star list?
    🙂

  33. Nooooo not the Buy More :(!

  34. Did anyone else see Alex punching Casey in the shot just before he calls her name? Something to think about… Monday will never come! Never have I been such an unapologetic geek about a TV show (well, not since Quantum Leap, but since I was only around for the reruns, it was less suspenseful)

    • I did, poor thing looks so scared I can’t blame her for losing her head for a moment before he tells her. LOL though I think she takes after her daddy she can throw a punch almost as good as he can. Can’t wait.

  35. i just realized that in the chuck vs the american hero, it was a bad idea for chuck to carry shaw out of that building. i wish he just let shaw die in that exploding building. but if he will just let shaw die there, he won’t win back sarah’s heart so fair enough.hehe! but i still hate shaw being alive.

  36. malediktmanson

    The only one, who’s going to die will be Shaw himself. This will be an epic “Fight Club meets Matrix”-showdown. Maybe Chuck becomes a schizo and has to fight himself 🙂

  37. omg! casey’s daughter just punched her own dad! look at it! why would she do that, then after she punched casey, casey tells her the truth that he is her father. and look at the tv in the buy more at 21 secs. jeffster is in it, i think it’s their rumored upcoming jeffster music video playing. crap! i’m so freaking excited!

  38. hey! jeffster music video is on the tv playing at the background. look ai it., pause it on 21 secs. hahaha! HILARIOUS!

  39. OMG thanks I saw that easter egg why would they put that in the show? huuuuuuh? what if someone noticed it?

  40. My word not since the season finale of any show have i ever waited this anxiously for an episode lol

  41. And by now, everyone’s seen the “GOING OUT”(…OF BUSINESS) banner above Chuck’s head as he walks into Buy More, right? All this time, I thought they were supposed to be Best Buy, now I find out they’re really Circuit City!!

  42. I shall take my final tranq now and awake at 8:00 PM EST to watch Chuck. I can not bear to wait that long awakw!

  43. what is the song Chuck plays on season 3 episode 1 ( GUITAR )???????????
