Chuck season 5
.
This is going to take a while, as it is difficult trying to type with a tissue in one hand. OK, so I am not that bad, but if I were a crier, it probably would have been.
There was so much that I loved about the last season of Chuck. I loved the fact that Chuck was not the intersect, that he was doing it all on his own. I didn't even find Jeffster annoying this time around.
But that ending...
I suppose there is one time in my life where I don't want to be left guessing, and that is when it is the very very end of a tv series that I loved, and we are talking about the couple that I cared about the most. Yes, some Stephanie Meyer whack-me-over-the-head-with-the-info-like-a-brick, is more what I would have wanted - so long as the ending was actually a happy one.
But surely they could not have really stuck Chuck and Sarah through all that - for 5 friggin years(!!) - to have them end with their relationship there. I don't know. Maybe I need to watch the ending again to see if I pick up on more clues. All that was really going through my head in the last episode was "It will be all right. It has to be all right. They wouldn't do that to us. It is going to be all right." Which is why the 'so, what do you think happened' finale is just not doing it for me.
I think what really got to me was the cruelty with which they ended the series for Chuck and Sarah. Chuck may or may not have lost everything; and Sarah did lose everything. What on earth possessed them to even go down that route? The writers knew going into it, that it would be the last season of Chuck. So why did they opt to not give us a conclusive ending (or at last one that was conclusive as far as those two went - I would not have minded some dark stray figure lurking in the shadows that could have kept one guessing for a few days). I can understand why they had to end it where they did, as it would take another season at least to fix all that went wrong, but what I don't understand, is why they even started that journey in the story to begin with.
But then... would I have been happy with the perfect house and white picket fence ending either, which would really have been conclusive? It really would have felt like the end of Chuck. At least with this ending you feel that something is still continuing, even if we will never know what it is.
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Well, I suppose that I won't be forgetting that episode for quite a long time. I guess, overall, my biggest complaint is is that there is no more Chuck. I loved every minute of it. I loved the geeky references, I loved that I could completely relax and laugh while not feeling that my brain was sliding out my ear. I loved the characters and that the writers kept having fun with them and sticking them in all sorts of positions that completely went against their natures just to watch them squirm. And I loved the story lines.
Chuck. You will be missed.
Wow. It becomes really obvious that one has not been onto LJ in aaaaaages, when it takes 15 minutes to remember how to put in the cut. Granted, it would have gone a lot faster if I had just decided to scroll back to an older post...
