i thought that the beginning of season 2 were the episodes that were suppose to be the end of season 1 but moved because of writers strike….but ya i would be so much happier with 9 more episodes

But that’s who Sarah was. She was a professional spy who was there to do her job, and not become a ‘normal person’.

Then I’d be a happy camper 🙂

The writers, when they returned from the Holiday break that yr, basically took one of the most powerful moments in the shows short history, Sarah’s shooting of Mauser in cold blood & resolved in a 1 ep two minute segment.

Sarah did not kill Mauser, because she was an agent protecting the intersect.
Sarah killed Mauser, because he and Fulcrum were a threat to the man she loved. That ep. was Sarah’s first real admission to herself, I think, how much she loved Chuck. She could no longer fight it or hide it.
Chuck seeing Sarah kill Mauser, also, changed his perception of her.

It would have been great storytelling I felt, had they made that a real Dramatic & Lengthy plot point for the two of them. Had they written t out as they should have. Dealing with the big Dramatic shooting of Mauser, the way that the writers did after the Holiday break, was just terrible in my opinion, to treat it like no big deal. This event, & the ridiculous new love interests yet again for the two of them, in the 1st half of S 3. Especially, Sarah & Shaw’s supposed Attraction, are two events that have really hurt this show in my view.

BMB.

Agreed on Orion’s base. There could have been seasons worth of material there. I hoped that stuff was in Orion’s laptop, but since that version of the Intersect got uploaded all over the place, it clearly didn’t.

Kind of early to talk about that one since we have no idea what he can do with it or if it’s even functional.

I’m still steamed about the 9 lost eps to the strike. Never get them back.
