ChuckTV.net The CHUCK archive
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
We’ve come to the end of our five year journey. JEFFSTER! are off touring Germany; Casey is doing dangerous stuff with Verbanski; Alex and Morgan are moving in together; Big Mike is working for Subway/Buy More; Ellie and Awesome have awesome new jobs in Chicago; and Chuck and Sarah are restoring her memories and falling in love all over again while .
Most of us have been moving through the five stages of grief for the last week or more. Maybe you’re all the way to acceptance, maybe you’re still on denial. Maybe you just want to reminisce with fellow Chucksters. This is the place to do that.
By the way, stage 2 is “Anger” and stage 4 is “Depression”. Just sayin’. 😉
Please remember to be courteous to each other. This is an emotional time for all of us, and this is a place of support.
yea, i’m one of those people who’s still on denial but i liked tonight’s episodes
i’m thinking a re-watch is due for tomorrow
I totally 100% agree re watch and remain in denial!!
I read that Josh Gomez shaved the beard…Is that true? He shouldn’t make major decisions like that until he’s had more time to work through his grief over the loss of the show. It could be a rash decision. (Call back to pink slip)
Loved the finale. So bummed the show is over. Mel, we will be tracking these cast members through you…thanks for all your work on this website.
I don’t know that I’m yet to the stage of acceptance. But I do know I will always appreciate the show for the friends I have made through it.
Im still in denial, it just cannot be happening. I will still hope everyday that there will be a movie and that someone will come up with a campaign to have a movie and just like the 5 previous seasons i will fight for that as well EVEN if i need to contribute to paying for it!!
Yeah I’m in denial.. I’m thinking a re-watch of the entire series in needing. After 5 years, I just can’t believe it’s over. I own S1-4 on DVD and S5 on Zune… so while waiting for S5 on DVD I’m thinking an entire series re-watch… call me crazy but 1 or 2 episodes a night. should last me a little bit.
All I can say is that the ending was beautiful. What a love letter to the fans. Just wow. It is still sinking in for me. Thank you to the cast and crew for creating this show, it is a true gift that I can (will) re-live over and over again.
The ending was OK, but I have found that to be the case in most TV shows that come to an end.
We all hope that Chuck and Sarah are able to rebuild their relationship and the writers appear to have put that in motion. However, as someone who has faithfully watched every episode, I am a bit disappointed.
The charm of Chuck was the story of the everyman winning the super girl and the lost soul (Sarah) finding someone who truly loved her. While the final episode leaves open that possibility, the circumstances that brought them to the altar cannot be duplicated, so the question is left hanging. Will Sarah again fall in love with Chuck? Personally, I would have preferred to know.
Sarah initiated the kiss…I think she’s already falling in love with Chuck again and wants to remember.
OF COURSE, but wouldnt it be heartwarming to see the steps they will do to rebuild their love ?, i mean its one of the main reasons i fell in love with this show, the love between sarah and chuck
I don’t need to see it again. It’s enough for me to know that they’re moving forward.
I am greedy. Like Paul Murdaco, I would have preferred to know. Mel is the eternnal optimist that everything is hunky dory and that love is already flowering between Sarah and Chuck. I would have liked to see a bigger afirmation then what Chuck was left with. They let you know that everyone else got something.
Saying goodbye to Chuck is like saying goodbye to a dear friend. These last 5 years have been amazing. Chuck & gang will be missed by my whole family!
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
I started watching Chuck on March 29, 2010. I was late, but since then… it captured my heart. I fell in love with the cast, especially Chuck & Sarah. I’m part of the Nerd Herd, now and eternity. Thanks for everything, it’s been a great ride. And the music… epic! And one of my favorite lines from tonight,
Sarah – Because… because I love him.
I am definitely in denial. What a beautiful episode. Like I said in the last post. Thank you Mel for feeding my addiction. A re-watch is a definite for tomorrow. I just can’t believe it’s over. I don’t know what to do with myself now.
September 24, 2007: After watching weeks worth of promos for a quirky new show, I watched the very first episode of Chuck. And I was hooked.
Tonight: I teared up 3 times. I don’t FULLY like what they did with Sarah. But I loved the 2 finale eps as a whole. It ended nicely and sweetly, and I had a rush of nostalgia. Was it really 4 and a half years ago that this show premiered?! Time flies. I will wholeheartedly miss it. I will miss everything about it, even the cornball sweetness others thought it piled on.
Sigh…..
I don’t know what stage I’m in, but I’m just sooo sad it’s over! I really loved the finale, but I am sort of sad how it sort of ended with her just vaguely remembering the last 5 years. Oh well, I loved the last two episodes, the last season, and the last 5 years, and I know that they all are going to go on to do wonderful things in the future! Okay…it’s denial…defiantly denial… 😉
literally crying over the mediocre ending. so many things could have been done, but decided to leave the audience hanging in the place it all began. still feeling icky (for a lack of better words) over the emptiness, not having any tip that Sarah remembers anything. no flashbacks, nothing. wish there had been more there so i dont feel so sad, kind of the same way as the end of The Birds (Alfred Hitchcock).
GOOD BYE CHUCK!
WWCD?
JEFFSTER (as well as Chuck) LIVES!
I loved it. I started watching on a recommendation of a friend mid season 2. I have faithfully watched this show inspite of those same friends bailing on the show. I watched it alone and i can proudly say i cried. Cried like i havent cried in 5 years. Although I would have loved to know that her memories came back for sure, i think they elude to that. Sarah and Chucks’ jumping off point was the beach and him needing alone time, she did the same. It makes me sad that we didnt see it, but i believe her memories do come back
The two things i most in TV was Harry Potter and Chuck…In six months i don´t have either… i feel very strange at the end of Chuck… like i´m lost a friend is weird
Wow, never in my worst nightmares did I think they would end the show this poorly. I’m sad and disappointed…. nothing else to say really.
Haven’t watched the finale yet but will tomorrow night…will need your support then. 😉
I balled like a baby. I am a guy. The most perfect show I have ever witnessed.
I’m a sixteen-year-old guy. I started watching Chuck five years ago, when I was eleven. Chuck has been with me through a major growing period in my life. In the past five years I’ve lost friends, family, my parents split (the divorce was so nasty my father said that he never loved me) and Chuck has been there to help me through it all. I held myself back all finale, but as soon as Chuck sat down on the beach I started crying; so did my brother, and we both had a long hug. Chuck has been such a big part of my life, and it’s over. Thank you so much, everybody at NBC, and anyone who’s enjoyed this experience as much as I have.
OMG! How sad and disappointing to have ended such a fantastic show so poorly. Reminded me of the disappointing ending of the Sopranos. All the hype lead one to believe things would resolve in the end…how sad for both the actors and the characters to have such an unfulfilling end to a great series.
After 5 years of watching is it too much to ask to have MY memories erased now? That was one of the most unsatisfying endings I can remember. Thanks a lot…
Charah’s ending was sad…very sad…
It’s 50 First Dates all over again… T-T
I loved the ending. I loved it. There isn’t anything downer or negative about it at all. It is fitting for the whole show. It has all been about Charah. Think of it as if you totally forget that Darth Vader is Luke’s father. You watch Star Wars, get emotionally invested, watch Empire…and then relive the whole awesomeness that is the big reveal of “I am your father.” Chuck and Sarah get to experience that all over again. The happiest thing I could ever think of.
Love the show, not too sure about the ending though. Just glad that we had five seasons of great fun and romance and I too would be willing to help pay for the Chuck movie! Are you listening Chris and Josh?!?
I loved that Big Mike didn’t believe Jeffster about the CIA base under the Buy More.
I loved Awesome’s reaction to Baby Clara seeing the guns. Then Grandma B’s response.
I loved the final Jeffster song.
I loved that Sarah was getting “flashes” of her memory i.e. the cups @ the Wienerlicious, Irene Demova.
I loved that Sarah asked Chuck to kiss her to see if Morgan’s lame idea would get her memory back.
I loved Chuck & Sarah laughing & being together at the beach.
Is it just me, or would it have been better if Sarah said, “Shut up and kiss me.”
that’s what i thought she was going to say
Yvonne said the ending was bittersweet–very accurate.Guess I was hoping for a happily ever after, really thought the last episode of season 4 was much better. I just did not enjoy this finale at all—-do not know if I can watch the dvd’s again knowing that it has this ending.Should have figured S&F would let me down–Hope others do not feel as bad as I do–feel a little betrayed
I enjoyed it but those last 3-4 nagging questions are always going to bug me. I wanted to see Big Mike get the Buy More back, Morgan to go on to something bigger than the Buy More, and Chuck/Sarah get the house. I also would have liked to see the flash of Sarah’s memories coming back (obviously), but the bigger thing for me was a happy ending of them moving into the house that we never actually got to see.
Oh Mel, you are an angel. Under another topic about how you’d be here & this site wasn’t going anywhere, I commented that I would be needing a grief support group, and here you are!
I’m quite sure I haven’t reached the stage of ‘acceptance’ yet, although watching the finale was surely a jolt in that direction. For this entire season I kept having a stupid thought that somehow there had been some mistake & the show wasn’t really ending, but when I saw a photo last week of the empty shell where the Buy More once stood, I felt a lump in my throat..
My husband & I watched the finale together & we both loved it. I laughed & cried, sometimes at the same time. As always, the writers did a superb job, as did the cast. This is at the heart of why I will miss watching ‘Chuck’ so very much–I guess it went beyond being ‘just a show’ for me when I decided to participate in the Season 2 campaign, & then all the campaigns therafter. It’s difficult to explain but all ‘Chuck’ fans know & realize what a true gem, what a unique experience in television that it has been. The talent, the music, the action, the relationships, & the fun.
I guess I’ll have some ‘withdrawals’, I won’t know exactly what to do with myself on ‘Chuck’ nights for a while. And I don’t like talking about the show in the past tense….we ate at Subway for dinner tonight for old times’ sake. Gosh I’m sad & rambling. This too shall pass. I wish the cast & crew the very, very best in the future–they surely deserve it, they’ve brought so much to us, given their all to entertain us.
The finale was wonderful, sad, hopeful, funny, sweet. I would certainly welcome a reunion show, a movie…anything! I will always have a special place in my heart for ‘Chuck’ & for all the other fans who loved this show along with me.
imo 5×12 was awesome 5×13 was S**T. the insane amount of flashbacks did not work for me. I did like how they ended CS though. The Shippers need to take out the marriage and the baby talk and realize that CS are a fairytale love story that can never be taken away. The ending on the beach shows truely their love will be everlasting memories or not.
the other thing that made the ending more bitter for some people. is that chuck didn’t need the intersect to defuse the bomb!! even though giving sarah prosthetic memories sounds odd. lol
Just Awesome . . . sad that it has to end . . . but an awesome ride.
Let me say thank you to Mel for this website…you did an AWESOME job!
I too feel like I’ve lost a friend and am sitting here in denial as well. I can’t believe that it is over. I would like to say that I absolutely loved the ending, it wasn’t the perfect ending many of you were wanting. They put a nice little Chuck twist on it and in the end have Sarah and Chuck back on the road to discover their true love all over again.
All I can think of now is Zach mentioning an on-line movie in the future possibly and Yvonne saying that she’d but up for doing one as well. At least there might be something to look forward to in the future!!
Thank you, Julie. It’s been a labor of love (most of the time 😉 ). What a ride it’s been! I’m so pleased with where we ended up.
The thing that made Chuck special is that the characters were all likeable and showed a chemistry not seen on any other show.
I got hooked on show the first tme Sarah smiled at Chuck realizing she cared about him. I just wish it could have ended with a flash forward to know all of the characters were as happy as they deserved and Chuck and Sarah living in “their” with a bunch of little chucks and sarahs running around.
It has been a great five years and the show will be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i loved the last 2 episodes, and its hard for me to think that the only show i have gone all in for, has come to an end, Back to the pilot the reason we all fell in love with CHIUCK to begin with and such an amazing way to end it all. . I have made so many new friends and have herd so much great music and to think its all from CHUCK, As much as i hate to say it the show had to end at some point it just feel as if it is way to soon, The cast was amazing the guest stars were fatastic I would not have had it any other way. lucky for some who actually was able to meet them, I had so much fun for 5 year and have made some memories that i will never forget, Time to watch CHUCK all over again and maybe cry some more, Thank you all for some of the best times in the past 5 years. Thank you all once again and much love from Paradise Texas. Chuckster 4 LIFE!!!
Like some of you I would have hoped for a satisfying ending, leaving us hanging about Chuck and Sarah’s relationship/marriage. The ending could of and should of been done better. But at least they left it open ended for a possible Chuck movie and the ending did show that Sarah wants to remember? but I’am still disappointed on how Chuck ended. It was NOT A HAPPY ENDING!
I found the ending just perfect. Even though I wanted Sarah to get her memories back, I didn’t want it to be “Oh, I got a flashback and remember everything. Now let’s go kick Quinn’s ass”.
Sad is the best word. Wish it could of been more happy ending then it was.
Mel,
Thank you. It has been a blessing to be a part of so many wonderful people being together to share Chuck love. I cried during the finale, but my real sense of loss is at the great community that you have helped bring together. Thank you.
Thanks, Mitch. One of the things that makes Chuck stand apart from the crowd is the community that’s developed here. It’s been an amazing experience.
Please make a movie to wrap this up! My husband and I LOVE this show & are going to miss it so very much!!!! We loved the “Disney” ending, but we just feel like there’s something missing…
I am in awe of this show I have loved for five years. It was a fantastic finale and I couldn’t be more sad it is over. Seriously I feel empty. It’s horrible. I’m so proud to be a Chuckster
I have been with Chuck, since episode 1. I never thought a show could mean so much, for someone.
Spending 2007-2011 in foster care.. with no family, or friends.. Chuck did so much for me, and in turn changed my life. It was the one thing I could look forward to, on Monday nights, and just enjoy.
Sarah definitely inspired me to find love, in the most unusual place, and just run with it. I never thought my life would lead me to where I am now, nor did she.
Oh, what can I say about Chuck? I can say that he is the strongest, most passionate person, I have EVER heard of, or seen, or anything. He has these dreams, that just mean so much to him…
Thank you, Chuck (TV Series), for EVERYTHING you’ve done for me.
And yes, I will definitely re-watch, tomorrow morning, after work.
Maybe we’ll meet again, old friend,
Dylan McIntosh
Ah, Dylan, you’re getting me all weepy again! Beautiful words, my friend.
Thanks, Mel. You of all people, should know, that Chuck is more than a television show. It’s something to inspire us, to do what they did, and that’s to carry out our dreams, no matter what stops us.
Just wanted to say “Thanks” to you Mel and your colleagues for all your hard work over the years.
Mel how long will you continue to run this website? I was just wondering about finding any news in the future on a possible Chuck movie…if you think it might happen?
We’ll keep the site running for as long as there is Chuck news to report. We’ll post news about what the cast & crew do next as well as maintain the archive of information we’ve collected.
Agree with the disappointed fans. I loved this show, in fact it was my favorite of all time. Chuck and Sarah was the greatest relationship in TV history and I kind of found like that was taken away from us a bit when Sarah didn’t get her memory back. I just don’t think this was a case for the writers to get clever and leave it to our imagination. Chuck and Sarah and all of us deserved a happy ending with the house with the red door and white fence. In my mind that’s where they are are and she remembers every moment that made this show so great.
Well we are left hoping and reminiscing at the same time. . . which I am okay with . . . and if I remember correctly or if I did not overlook it . . . I believe Chuck still has the Intersect . . . and if there is a way to find the technical answer to getting Sarah’s full memory back . . . I know in my mind that the Bartowski team will find the way . . . so I am happy with the possibilities. . . and it has to end . . . so for me it ends and allows for me to plot out how it all works out. Great show . . . great series . . . and great group of cast members to make it all happen!
I’m from Brazil and I’m disappointed with the end of chuck.
It made me feel that everything that happened between Chuck and Sarah was lost.
I am very sad because it could have an end much more fun and happy.
In fact the features that the series has always had not been exploited in this end.
Sorry I did not like it.
goodbye Chuck
It’s not only that they didn’t resolve Chuck and Sarah. We can probably learn to assume that they are together. But how?
They teased us all season about Sarah wanting to leave the spy life and start a family.
Now Chuck is back being the intersect. Sarah doesn’t remember anything about wanting a family. So do they move forward as spies? Do they rejoin the CIA? Or do they settle down?
Completely unresolved.
I enjoyed both episodes. But the ending makes me furious. It’s classic of these 2. Resolve them. Marry them. Then unresolve them in the last episode.
Bill, all of those questions are left up to us. Maybe that’s what’s bothering you: instead of giving us a definite view of their future, they left it open ended so each of us could envision our own future for them. I love those kinds of endings. I’m guessing you don’t. I’m sorry this was a downer for you, truly. {HUG}
Well, thanks for the hug, lol
At some point the show was going to eventually end and we were going to have imagine how it turned out for them, right?
It’s just in the other recent finales, Ring II, Push Mix, Cliffhanger, we could imagine them together for sure. They were together. That part of the story was resolved. If they had babies, or stayed spies, or whatever they did, we knew they were together.
It’s like Sleeping Beauty (or is it Snow White?) Anyway Prince Chaming fights to get to her and finally kisses her — and the movie ends. You get to decide if she wakes up or not.
What they did here was to artifically unresolve them by taking away Sarah’s memory and then left them unresolved.
So I can understand why you liked it. Up until the last minute, I thought that I was going to like it too. But I want to know if Sleeping Beauty woke up.
Nice analogy. And now I’m going to steal it. 😉 From where I’m sitting, Sleeping Beauty asked Prince Charming to kiss her. It was a proactive choice on her part to restore their relationship. No passive, sleeping beauty here!
Well, I will admit that the kiss lasted a long time. They were still kissing when the scene ended. I can see that they are almost assuredly going to be together. I would have preferred a more explicit resolution.
Still, all of the growth over the past 3 seasons… gone. Is Sarah going to fear unpacking again, lol? Phase Three, where she decided that she loved Chuck so much that she would do absolutely anything to save him… gone.
I disagree. The Sarah who initiated a kiss with Chuck was at least mid-season 3 Sarah. She’s returning fast.
If you guys didn’t like the ending.. just remember that it DID end. It’s not fun for us.. but I told my boyfriend, to buy me seasons 1-5, and we could just watch it, together. Enjoy this, guys. It’s definitely a life changer. We should all write to the NBC president, and just say ‘hey, thanks for not canceling on us, when you definitely had the option’.
I feel like my heart got torn out when Sarah lost her memories, then they did nothing but stomp on it the last two episodes, I just wanted her to remember and them have a happily ever after. I’m one of the disappointed ones I guess. I wanted to know she remembered, not have it left to my imagination. ;\'(
I cried about 4 times, including once where I was laughing hysterically at the same time (JEFFSTER!) and laughing when subway made its grande finale. I’m still in denial! I can’t believe this show that made me comfortable with being a nerd is done. I’ll never obsess to my friends who don’t watch Chuck about a new episode. I am terribly sad, but at the same time I’m glad it happened. I’m glad there WAS a show named Chuck. And I liked the ending! loved the callbacks. I’m not usually one to like ambiguity but since they’re letting us interpret the end, I’M interpreting that the story telling made her remember and she therefore initiated the kiss. So in my head, she remembered. I just wish they could’ve TOLD us that haha
Oh good! I thought I was the only one who bawled during the JEFFSTER! performance. Something about that hit me and turned on the water works like nothing else.
You weren’t the only ones…when I posted earlier I said there were times I was laughing & crying at the same time, & the Jeffster performance was one of those times.
And Mel, thank you so very much for everything you’ve done for the ‘Chuck’ fans–I don’t know what we’d do without this site & your hard work. I especailly don’t know what I’d be doing now after the finale, this is a great sounding board.
p.s. I actually got a bit of comic relief after the finale as The Soup was on the E! channel & Zach Levi showed up in a Nerd Machine shirt & made a few funny comments on there.
I feel sad, like when a friend comes from afar for a visit, you have a great time for a while, and then they have to leave.
