Chuck Season Five The Final Season(Probably)Spoilers

[boyhangover]

The (most likely) final season of Chuck starts the 25th of October(yeah it's a friday) and there is a lot of news about the new season.

As seen last year Morgan is has the Intersect now while Chuck and Sarah own the Buy Moore and their own version of Black Water.

I don't remember who they are going after. (I always seem to fall out of love with the series towards the end of the series.) I do know they aren't working for the government any more.

Notable guest stars announced so far are.

Mark Hamil, Dani Pudi and Carrie Anne Moss.

[boyhangover]

With the repeat season upon us I am taking it upon my self to let people know that a new episode of Chuck is on this Friday at 8 pm

[Jared]

The bad is the guy who played the Sentinel, then was on Desperate Housewives at some point. He's part ofa shadowy government(?) agency that's been involved with the Intersect stuff from the start. Or maybe he's the leader, I don't recall.

I wonder if the show will end with Jeffster getting a record contract.

Chuck and Sarah having a baby seems almost certain, especially if he doesn't get the Intersect back.

Terri Hatcher's husband from Desperate House Wives? I think I remember him in the show earlier but it's been a long time. I'm gonna rewatch the series while waiting for the new season Friday. I don't want Chuck and Sarah to have a baby. Jeffster getting a record contract would be fine by me though. After the show ends they should do weddings.

I really hope the whole "Morgan as Intersect" thing only lasts a few episodes.

Same here. I like Morgan better when he was just the normal one of the group.

I like it. A lot better than when I thought Ellie was gonna be the Intersect. When she found that thing in the back of her car I was pretty sure thats where it was gonna go.

Was relieved in that Ellie didn't get the Intersect. They already went crazy in letting just about Chuck's whole family become spies so Ellie being the only non spy in the family is a little refreshing IMO

[Jack]

I think we'll get an arc with Morgan as the Intersect, then it'll turn out that because he doesn't have the same type of brain as Chuck keeping it in his head will kill him. Then Ellie will have to figure out how to get it out of his head, and Chuck will get it back.

From what I can see from the previews, they manage to put the Intersect into a pair of sunglasses. With this, anyone can apparently be the Intersect.

Also, a blind item at tvline.com lists Chuck as one of the possible shows who, in their final season, are planning on killing off a major character shortly before their finale.

Banking on that major character being Chuck's mom

Well they did do that but I thought it was like the first two times Chuck absorbs the Intersect. Once it was downloaded into someones brain they no one else could use it. I remember when they were trying to develope a new team of intersect soldiers and it didn't happen. I don't know why though.

Banking on that major character being Chuck's mom

I don't know that she really qualifies as a major character. The only ones who really fit that description to me are: Chuck, Sarah, Ellie, Devon, Morgan, and Casey (and maybe General Beckman, but that might even be a stretch).

There are two possible people, if it's not Chuck's mom, I can see being killed off. Beckman or Morgan. The reason I choosed Beckman is because I can see Casey being promoted into Beckman's position at some point. Morgan's death would have a profound impact on Chuck, and he hasn't had much to do as of late, so I can see Morgan die in a attempt to save Chuck's life

[Jared]

If anything, they'll have Casey go out in a heroic way.

[boyhangover]

So who watched the season premier? What did you think. I liked it but I was disturbed by the lack of Awesome and it just seemed kind of a downer.

[1505627]

"just for the record, i took down 6 of them"

oh casey XD

[boyhangover]

"just for the record, i took down 6 of them"

oh casey XD

Yeah that was pretty funny.

[1505627]

Yeah that was pretty funny.

i also liked the rush limbaugh line

[edhopper]

So the overall arc this final season is Chuck vs Decker.
But I am thinking after Chuck takes down the SOB, we end with Chuck as the head of the CIA

[edhopper]

Hey, where's the love? This show is still great.
Casey taking out the Viper and her team was beyond cool.
And Richard Burgi is playing such a wonderful scumbag.

[Legato]

Casey is still awesome. Hope they take the Intersect out of Morgan soon.

It was gone last night. General Beckman came and did it. The show is now sans-intersect.

Good to know, I like Morgan as the normal one of Team Chuck.

[Toreador]

Hopefully Casey recorded the conversation between the Viper and Decker when he was eavesdropping on them. Then they'll finally have Decker over a barrel and find out why Decker wants Chuck and Sarah so bad.

Sounds too easy. I think this goes on until the series finale.

[Scurlogg_Hawkk]

Man just another cool show is going down badddddddddd .First smallvile now Chuck .But 5 years run is good right .Right?!?

[iRacingRyan]

I'm a little "ehhhh" with this season. I've loved the show from the start with the nerdy-witty banter and how much fun they were having, but this season seems to have lost a little bit of that fun flavor. Not all of it, mind you, because it seems as though the writers are having a blast with John Casey this season...but there is something missing somewhere, and it's hard to put a finger on. The show has evolved so much from the first season to the second season to the third season, and each time they evolved the show it got better and more entertaining. This season just feels like a step backwards. Not a huge one, but a definite step backwards.

For me, introducing Dekker as a big baddie (or whatever he is) isn't the way to go for a final season. The final season should tie in with the entire show, closing it out and shutting the book on Chuck. With Dekker, I'm sure they will try to shoe-horn him into past plots and what not, and it'll most likely come off as OK, but it'll still be taking a current baddie and trying to insert him into the various plots of the show via Revisionist History.

If anyone ends up going to see the big spy agency in the sky, I'll bet on it being John Casey. He's going to end up saving Morgan and Alex, I'm calling it.

[Solaris01]

I'm still watching. The show is entertaining again; sorry but I found most of season 4 unwatchable. The when-will-they-get-married arc going on during that season felt so forced and contrived to me, and I didn't like the Mary Bartowski arc. Dalton was very funny as Volkoff but he was too funny and too catoonish as the big villain. There was no real tension during that season, the plot was all over the place, especially during the second part. S4 is easily the weakest season, imo.

But things look better in this final season. Dunno, it just feels more fun, and I initially hated "Morgansect" but it somehow worked kinda ok. I just didn't like how easily Morgan changed in the third and fourth episodes. The resolution to that plot point was anticlimatic. Other than that, I feel like this season could turn out alright after all. I hope so, but I don't expect it to match the greatness of seasons 1-3. I just hope it doesn't suck. Oh and I like Carrie-Ann Moss' character.

[Jordanstine]

Only seen the 1st season, are the other seasons good? Why is it ending at only 5?

[kalorama]

Hopefully Casey recorded the conversation between the Viper and Decker when he was eavesdropping on them. Then they'll finally have Decker over a barrel and find out why Decker wants Chuck and Sarah so bad.

Even if Casey did record it, it wouldn't really give him any leverage. Remember, Chuck and Co. are private citizens now, which means that Casey doesn't have legal government sanction to go around killing people.

[Toreador]

It would be leverage for the general though. Evidence that Decker was working against the general, messing with the Intersect program and has ordered hits against private citizens.

She already knows that. She knew he put a hit on Grimes. Hell, she's the one who told Chuck about it. Decker's not in Beckman's chain of command, so she can't order him to stand down (if she could, she'd have done so). For all she knows, he's acting with the knowledge of his superiors. I doubt shutting him down will be as easy as her walking into his boss' office and tossing a CD with some incriminating files on the desk.

[Ugoff]

The most recent episode was really really disappointing. They really didn't try to come up with any interesting twist and turns at all. It was all so predictable and stupid. We've seen Sarah kick such major ass and in this episode she's almost a movie cliche damsel in distress caricature. Casey is also somewhat de-clawed in this episode. A few episodes ago Chuck is established as one of the best hackers/computer experts around and in this episode he enlists the nerd herd to help him with the Omen virus. Ellie is running around freaking out nonsensically about her baby not having a picture with Santa. I'll admit pictures/memories of your kids are important, but considering all they've been through, you would think they would be grateful just to be alive and together as a family. Sarah not kicking ass because of the (cant remember how to do the spoilers thing, i always forget) and then the preview for next episode. Ugh. Just end it soon.

[1505627]

i've missed the last several episodes. anyone know where i can watch them? online, on demand, reruns, anything would help

[Gizmoduck]

I'm going to miss this show when its gone. I hope Sarah and Chuck get a happy ending, and not lose each other.

[EuphemismForSex]

Omg lol lester and finding women.

[KingofMadCows]

The finale felt really rushed. The memory loss thing was not well developed and Quinn was such a poor villain. It just felt like one of those lame "hero got knocked out and temporarily lost his memory" episodes.

If they had only done it over 4 or 5 episodes with a better villain, heck I'll take Shaw over Quinn, it could have been a lot better.

[Kevinroc]

I agree that there should have been a bit more build up on Sarah's memory loss/reverting back to her season 1 self. And the final villain was disappointing.

There were some definite good moments in the last episode. And the last few shots of Chuck and Sarah on the beach mirror the ending of the very first episode.

All in all, it had a good run and I can respect the production team for crafting a fine series that had some bumps along the way.

[kalorama]

The ending wasn't bad but it did feel a bit cobbled together. Still, it did go out on a solid up note. The best thing about the finale is that it really highlighted how much these characters have changed and grown over the show's run. I've said it before, but living on the edge of cancellation from season-to-season probably had a positive effect on the show's creative development by forcing the creators to look at character development in the short -term as opposed to taking an open-ended, we'll go on-and-on forever approach.

I agree completely with you, but I would be even harsher in my critique. This final season wasn't much to scream so my expectations for the 2 hour series finale weren't that high. Quinn wasn't just a poor villain, he was just awful. One of the main problems with the finale. Just lame and someone with no real connection to the characters or the viewers. I definitely would have perferred Shaw be the last villain they face. The best part about the 2 hour finale was Sarah climbing out of the luggage on Quinn's private jet. That made me smile and laugh a little. Everthing else was really stupid and boring.
