Still missing Chuck. Although NBC let everyone know there would only be 13 eps in this final Season5, why did they not spread out the showing of the episodes?
The SuperBowl was a great way to advertise remaining episodes of Chuck.

Also agree with many that Season5 and the 5.13 were not as good as seasons 1-4. The focus was not always on Sarah,Chuck and the Intersect. Shaw returning in Season5 means the writers thought Season4 was going to be the last season and had sort of, run out of ideas. In that, during Seasons 1-4, no one knew if Chuck was going to be renewed or cancelled, and many story arcs were compressed and not as lengthy as they could have been. Made it super hard for the writers.

It seems in 5.12 and 5.13, they were trying to get some of the earlier seasons atmosphere back, and Sarah was cold to Chuck in earlier seasons as she was mostly in ep 5.13. Ep 5.13 was good in that there were all the references to previous seasons.

However Ellie/Awesome randomly moving?
Also think they could have ended the series with Sarah remembering more about her relationship and love with Chuck. as she did with other facts and events, rather than the 5.13 ending that was used.

There are all these outlets now, other networks, cable, movies, the web,
a future episode or movie still seems a possibility.

In reply to IceTear1. Unfortunately that logic doesn't work IceTear1. Because after the flashbacks Chuck and Sarah discuss whether the kiss will help her memories return. Clearly indicating that they hadn't.

In reply to D. D: Think it this way that all flashbacks are Sarah´s memories returning. It really makes sense because you can see her expression change with every flashback.

In reply to D. Do what I did. I've been rewatching season 4 to get me to MY happy ending... the wedding! And ending the series there.

I just watched Chuck versus the Honeymooners. I can’t help but feel sad when thinking about what the future holds for them….

In reply to D. D, you're not alone. So many have said "watch it again!" and I did today in hopes I'd feel better about the end, but the same two words came to mind. Tragic and depressing. I know many have talked themselves into a happy ending and I did notice a few more hints of "our" Sarah but not enough to change my feelings about the end. You're also right about previous "possible" finales. Season 2 ended with Sarah turning down Bryce to stay with Chuck. The first run of season 3 episodes ended with Chuck and Sarah officially getting together and when more episodes were added, season 3 ended with Chuck quitting spying and Sarah saying it didn't matter because she "fell in love with a regular guy". The first run of season 4 episodes ended with the proposal and the additional episodes, with the wedding. That's probably why I was so shocked that we got hung out to dry this time. The actual series finale and they tell us to imagine our ending!! Now they say preordering season 5 may help to get a movie, but unless they throw us a bone I can't imagine buying that season knowing every time I rewatch the series THAT'S how it'll end. I'd rather stick with my DVD's of seasons 1 thru 4 and end it with their wedding. With the Sarah we know and her memories all still intact. The happy ending we were robbed of this season.
