She brings a thoughtfulness to her POV that is always good to hear. I also like her broader perspective.

You summed my feelings about the finale perfectly and I completely agree with what you said about the Chuck/Sarah relationship

I also found your assessment of the finale to be a bit too generous. While I’m on board that Chuck and Sarah have found love again on the beach, I think that the audience deserved more of a celebratory ending (like Other Guy or Cliffhanger — sans Morgansect).

So, while I fully accept the ending as a happy one, I’m just not ready to conclude it was the best option. On the other hand, I agree that having Mo on the “last podcast” was a fitting ending to a great ride.

While I watched Chuck from the beginning, I arrived at your website just recently. I am quite impressed with the wealth of information you provided, along with all of the interviews. It looks like, while you must all have worked hard in putting this labour of love together, you received great enjoyment from it as well. I have listened to some of the podcasts and will be listening to the rest as I wait for my season 5 set to arrive…

Regarding podcast 106, the music theme that you played out to was haunting. Brings back fond memories and stirs up emotions. I guess I want that cd from Tim Jones after all.

While I did not love everything about Chuck, I never missed an episode. The reason was not so much the writing or the guest stars, but the regular cast.
What a powerful group of actors.

Prior to Chuck, I only knew of Adam Baldwin and Sarah Lancaster. Yet from the first episode, I cared about the characters and enjoyed immensley, the acting of all of the cast. Over the 5 year run, I have found Zach to be believable in his relationships with Morgan, Sarah, and Ellie. Yvonne has truly impressed me with her ability to communicate emotion along with being so good at the action scenes. Vic blew me away during the 2nd season Thanksgiving episode when Morgan was telling him about a “real Thanksgiving with real turkey”. Vic conveyed such a sense of wonder and longing that it has stuck with me as a standout of his entire run on the show.

As to the writers, upon rewatching the complete series after the last episode aired, I was impressed with the little things that they threw in that really made some of the spy stuff believable.

As an example, Sarah’s interaction with Chuck after he landed the helicopter in the 2nd episode. Chuck was all excited about his just finished experience and Sarah told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever let his trust issues with her get in the way again, she would head back to Washington and he would not like the results. The way it was written and delivered was chilling and believable. And that was only in the 2nd episode! Many more moments were to follow.

My last comment (sorry for the lengthy message) pertains to the last episode. I am one of the fans that was unsatisfied with the ending.

I have no problem with shows that end with an unexpected vision; I loved the last episode of The Sopranos and found Lost to be an emotional and satisfying ride to the end.

My problem with the ending of Chuck is that I felt the Chuck/Sarah relationship was the main thread running through the entire series and I was expecting that they would be together at the end, without any ambiguity. I thought that episodes 511 – 513 were very strong. It is just that as characters, they had been put through enough during the first 89 episodes in back and forth, will they get together or won’t they, that the writers could have come up with a different ending that would have left their relationship on solid footing. Since there is no “next episode” to put everything right, I guess Chuck will have to try and win Sarah back and Sarah will have to be open to falling in love with someone whom she now has no common ground.

Having said that, Chuck has been one of my favourite shows to tune into each week and I will enjoy rewatching the series courtesy of dvd.

Thanks again to the cast and crew for such an enjoyable show and thanks to the podcasters for this great site.

Cheers!

That’s very kind of you to say and quite touching as well. Thank you all!

Yup, we’re not going away either, Philippa! We’ll keep this site going as long as people keep stopping by for news on their favorite Chuck cast members. ;-D
