"Chuck" - season 5

I'm a bit with Tim on this one. I've enjoyed the series and the last two hours had some fun stuff, but....

[spoiler]I think they spent too much time chasing Quinn over and over again. I liked the part with Sarah and here watching her old video reports and wished that had jarred some of her memory more. I know this was a tricky way to go over old things that have happened on the series but it felt like it missed the mark to me somewhat. I also was unhappy she wasn't back to herself at the end. I feel that was a sad way to leave things - even though of course she might remember eventually. I wanted a bigger bash at the end with all the main cast at the Buy More having a big party as Chuck and Sarah leave for their new, non-spy life. Anyway, I still have great memories of the series but the finale left me a little wanting something better for them all.[/spoiler]

I loved the ending.

This was my favorite show over the last few years and I will really miss it. I think this show was one of a kind. I really liked how the relationship of Chuck and Sarah evolved over the 5 seasons. And it was nice to see some of the secondary characters get a little spotlight on the finale. And my wife even watched it with me. I think this would make a great movie either during the Jan-April timeframe or a tv movie. Based on how the show ended I think it would work well into a movie. [spoiler]I was really hoping that Sarah would remember Chuck by the end but I still really enjoyed it. It was cool how they used the flashbacks and some of them were really cool to see again. Chuck has the intersect, again! I did like that part but what a sacrifice for him to make knowing that it could have got Sarah's memories back. That did seem like something he would do though. Glad to see Linda Hamilton back! And wasn't that Robert Duncan McNeill playing in the band at the Mexican restaurant? I also think the chase of Quinn took to long but was glad to see him finally shot. Does that sound bad? Another of my favorite parts wes when Casey hugged Chuck. has that ever happened before?? Jeffster is going to Germany. Thats cool. I'm sure I'll think of more things later. [/spoiler]
And yes there were a few tears and goosebumbs. Goodbye, Chuck, you will be missed. :(

[spoiler] I think it was implied that when Chuck kissed her at the end, she remembered. At least that's how I'm going to interpret the ending. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see Chuck's dad in a flashback scene, or even some new footage in the form of a memory that surfaces. [/spoiler]

I really enjoyed the finale. I thought the first half an hour or so was a little slow. After last weeks episodes end. The energy I thought really dropped after last weeks end, but it picked up. There were so many fan moments, so many things I noticed that took me all the way back to season 1.

[spoiler]I don't think it was an unhappy ending at all though, I thought it ended with hope, right where the show began in season 1 with the roles reversed, this time it was Chuck helping Sarah.

I loved the big climax and Jeffster. I just knew they were gonna be there at the end. It was a great way to see them all out.

My one thing I would have liked to see a little more was Chuck getting the intersect back. I thought that was a rather important plot point they kinda just forgot about towards the end. But still I loved it.

So I'm curious if anybody else had the thought they should make a Jeffster spin-off next? Maybe a Musical? ;)

I think they would make for a pretty awesome like 5 minute episode webseries. Aren't all the networks still racking their brains trying to figure out webseries? NBC should get on the ball here. I think it would be awesome!!!

Webseries maybe, but full-fledged show? Not likely.
