--- Quote ---TM: Is everyone at Chuck waiting on pins and needles at this point to hear if it will be renewed?

RDM: It’s funny. We’ve been through this so many times. Chuck is always on the bubble. It’s funny this year, it feels different and I’m not sure why. In the past years there’s always been a sense that we haven’t quite done it all yet. There’s definitely a sense of feeling like that in terms of the mythology. Things come together in a very interesting way. I just finished cutting it on Wednesday, and that’ll be out in a couple of weeks. In terms of that kind of complexity, I think we all feel like all of the things that we’ve wanted to do we’ve really been able to do, which we couldn’t say in the years past. Not that a fifth season wouldn’t be incredibly exciting, and we could do a lot of fun things. But, I don’t know, this year there’s a different sense. I can’t explain it. It’s a resignation to “whatever will be will be”. In the past we’ve always felt like, “Come on, give us one more! We’ve got some really cool things that we want to do that we haven’t done!” This year I think there’s a real sense of, “we’ve done a lot of cool things.” We’ve done a lot of cool things that I think people didn’t imagine that show could be or could do, with the way the characters have grown and with the mythology.

Kind reads like yea if we get a 5th season we can come up with cool ideas since we seem to have shown pretty much what we intended could focus more on mythology which has been missing this season. It like OK we get it and OK we don't

garnet:
Bah! If that is the pitch they are giving to NBC, I'd say it was a "swing and a miss".
On the other hand if he is playing to the fans, it is likely a fair assesment of a show that has come so much further than it might have.

I just hope that they have an impressive plan to show the NBC brass. Rather than the "Meh, we'll do it if you really want it". that comes across in the interview. From previous interviews it has always seemed that NBC was willing to buy into Chuck because of the proposed direction of the show. We wouldn't want to lose that now!
