We loved the show, WOW what an ending! BUT WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT STUPID KISS?????

Sorry about the messup im new @ this

You know.. this is the sort of renewal campaign that might actually work.

Forget the usual 'bombard the network with letters, calls, flowers or show-related trinkets', etc., but submit actual receipts of products bought from sponsors of this show, maybe with a short accompanying note confirming that the purchase was indeed a direct result of that sponsor advertising on your show of choice, in this case, Chuck.

Thanks. Does anyone know how to make a new topic? I tried to make one so that I could share this idea to a wider audience but it never showed up.

The new Chuck team members could be: Sarah, the dad, Bryce, Sarah's Dad, That hot forren spy, Jill, and you know that Casey will eventually help. Then we cannot forget Morgen it wouldn't be Chuck without him!

She's run off to let loose, hanging out with all her 'Fast & Furious' friends who know nothing about her secret life and won't judge her for it like Chuck and those govt. agency types!

Chuck has to know he'll be pretty helpless in this situation without Sarah. She also didn't give him much opportunity to object. I think he's grown used to Sarah taking the lead in life and death situations as well.

Someone brought up the idea that Casey may not report exactly what happened either, paving the way for Sarah's return to duty since no one will know how far she stepped out of bounds.

I tried registering here a few months ago, literally dozens upon dozens of times, but the site would keep kicking me out, stating some error occurred relating to that stupid letters/numbers code box which you have to type in, matching the random generation of the characters contained within the box. I finally gave up that day after about the fricken 100th try!

Then I tried again a few weeks later, again, dozens of times, chompin' on the bit to respond to sooo many comments in these Chuck threads. But.. same error. Tried clearing cookies, caps lock on, caps lock off, leaving spaces between letters, then no spaces between letters and all that nonsense. still nothing. gave up again.

Then was reading this thread, saw your message and being the glutton for punishment that I am.. tried registering. again. Looked like it was going to be more of the same. First several tries.. same error message as always. But somehow, someway, on the 7th or 8th attempt.. it finally worked!!!!!!!

baffling to the extreme.

anyway... here I is, at your command.

now what?

which kiss? the one between Chuck 'n Sarah shown in the previews to the following episode? Or the Morgan/stepdaddy kiss in the BuyMore? If you mean the latter, it's a play on the famous kiss on the lips scene between the two brothers in the Godfather II movie, Michael kissing Fredo on the lips, signifying betrayal. a kiss of doom if you will.

Hey everyone! Another lurker becoming a poster, hopefully this will make a difference to NBC and hopefully I will do this right!

I love this show! Have been watching since the first episode. I loved this last episode! There were so many great things that all of you have brought up so I won't repeat other than to say I felt like it had a good balance between the comedy and action. The Buymore stuff felt like it fit in better as well. Sometimes the Buymore stuff can bother me but not last night! I was glad to see that finally there seems to be some good forward progress for Charah. I hope that these last episodes don't let us Charah shippers down after seeing those last few moments.

This is turning into a long post so I will stop now. Just wanting to do my part by joining the boards! I will be sending NBC a letter however I live in Canada so I don't know how much impact I will have. I have made a recent convert out of my brother-in-law though. He lives in Seattle & I got him to watch an episode for the first time last week. He is now going to go back and watch all the episodes. Chuck conquering the world one viewer at a time!!!

I watch this show way too much. The last scene in Sarah's car where they show her driving down the road is the same clip in the pilot when Sarah first escapes from Chuck's apartment after accidentally destroying his computer. They just cut it early before she starts braking.

hey, newb (crazy4chuck)! I can say that now since I am your forum senior. By an hour or so, but who's counting.

About the BuyMore stuff.. not sure if this was already addressed but.. what's up with Ana taking up against Morgan for his perceived betrayal of Big Mike? Since they were back together again, I thought for sure she would take up his defense, giving him the benefit of the doubt as she has always done before. But no, she scowled at him and stuck with the group. out-of-character.

Casey might be in, in the scape. thats the reason Sarah kept turning to the camara. He probably staid back to point the general in the wrong direction.

^^ Thank you snickrz!! I thought that scene seemed vaguely familiar! I just wasn't sure if it was the civil engineer in me getting the best of my TV viewing. The only thing that bothered me about it was that there's a stop ahead sign but they make it seem like they're cruisin' along on the interstate! Guess they'll just have to hire me as a continuity consultant...

Is it next Monday yet?!

Did you notice in the preview with Sarah and Chuck in the car, they are in the back sit. Casey is probably driving.

Watch the promo in HD (Youtube has it). That doesn't look like Casey to me.

I know! I'm with some of the other posters, their relationship has me confused. Are they still moving in together? You would think with the way Morgan feels about Big Mike spending time at his mom's that he would have been motivated to move out already.

Fellow Chuck Canuck fan here. This is a first post for me too. Awesome episode that opens the doors wide open for the writers, they can go anywhere with what was presented in this episode. They need to address the Papa B. situation, Casey's situation (regarding Team Moron), and of course, the Charah situation (never has the joining of two names felt so right to say... Brangelina and all those other ones just felt... wrong). It's a lot to cover in the final two episodes of the season (season, not series... well I pray for a third at the very least).

Also, please NBC, will you cut us Canadians some slack and let us watch the videos here on NBC.com. I'm tired of seeing "The video you have selected is not available in your location". Please and thank you.



Nice catch! Hope that hasn't lowered your aspect on the show, you'd be surprised how much television gets away with things like this. Being a video editor myself, I would know. Guess they were hoping we'd forget certain shots...but not Chuckaholics!

I was thinking about this too. After so many episodes being Anna-less, she finally comes back out of character and... did she even have any lines? Just a small quibble and nothing compared to the larger story that needed to be told.

Evening everybody,

I just watched the episode again...don't know what count I am up to now but anyone else think it was kind of odd that Chuck shielded Jill from "uncle" Bernie when he pulled the gun? I get why he did but he has always freaked and got behind Sarah and/or Casey in the past...why the sudden chivalry towards Jill...I mean Jill is/was Fulcrum and it was her Uncle Bernie - shouldn't she be the one shielding Chuck?

Just something that made me think...hmm he never did that for Sarah...as I type this I think I am reading way too much into it because in the past Chuck has shielded Sarah in non-gun related situations.

Just a thought

Hey mombasaman! Looks like this board has quite a few Canadians on it. I'm with you, drives me crazy that we can't watch the videos. I'm not sure if that is an NBC thing though or our lovely CRTC at work.

Good catch on the car snickrz! When I catch those kind of things on a show I love I have to let my love for that show overrule my brain and just forget about it!

I've noticed a couple situations like this, but I think that's fairly normal for most TV shows. If they don't have recent film that fills time gaps, they just use a previous video that does the job. It's rarely a big deal, so I don't have a problem with it. But I noticed it another time in this episode: When Casey and Sarah are in the van and listening to Jill's dad during his speech to Chuck and Jill, it shows Sarah look at the camera with one of Yvonne's classic looks after Casey scoffs. Then, seconds later, after Casey mentions conjugal visits, she looks at the camera again. I'm pretty sure the two looks are actually the same shot, just copied and replayed.

The other thing I was noticing about Anna.. she was looking especially hot/cute to me in this episode. Better than I've ever noticed her before. Maybe a new makeup treatment or something.

more like the natural look with little makeup.

I don't know if it's Casey's crown vic because he has leather seats and those are clearly fabric.

And God no I love this show I just like noticing all the smaller continuity and recycled footage in the show. Chuck has even used I think one of two scenery shots from the OC. Finding these things does nothing to deter me from it.

This is a long shot but, does anybody know the brand of the suit chuck is wearing in this episode in the fulcrum building? Its awesome and I got to get me one of those.

I don't know if anyone seen this promo for First Kill yet, but the first second of this preview you see Chuck and Sarah standing outside this building in the desert and they are near a car which I haven't seen before, maybe that's the car that's in the Colonel promo?

Here's promo

I don't think that's the car they're riding in for the promo because a Mustang's (I think that's a mustang but the video isn't the best quality) back windows aren't squared off like that, but they are wearing the same clothes they went AWOL in. So I wouldn't be surprised if they dumped Sarah's car and "borrowed" that one.

Nice catch either way though!

They had to resource to that you know, because if Chuck uses "the morgan" it would be to much for Casey.

LOL, we would hate to see Casey as confirmed kill 3.

? remind me please

well the first kill wasn't what i expected, but it was great. Jill got away but something tells me she'll be back.

didn't you see how suprised casey was, when his funny little line was back fired when the general agreed to bing Chuck underground. I think it was all for show because he knows how sarah feel about chuck and if the general does not get thier cooperation she will do something else, so casy bought them more time to run. Casey has grown out of the killing mode, and we saw where he couldn't even get the heart to shoot a photo of chuck let alone the real chuck. He is still the team player.

I agree that when Sarah said "Take off your watch" it became apparent she was going to help him, that she wasn't going to lie. But she could have just let him go find his dad on his own. She could have just told him the truth and walked away or covered for him. But when she used the words "We have to run" that was like saying "It's us now. This is us, we're in this together." You know?

It's really getting exciting now. Everything has led up to this one point, all the tension, all the times you wanted Sarah to tell Chuck how she feels, it's all come to a climax now. Wow.

Also I just realized that Ken Davitian who played Uncle Bernie was the guy who played Xerxes in "Meet The Spartans". I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't place him when I was watching the episode.

I still can't get over the ending of this episode. I went to bed thinking "Wow!" and I woke up thinking "Wow!". How many shows can do that to you?

I'm a little confused--why drop the watch in the buy more basket? Casey is watching on surveillance--it only buys them a few minutes before he realizes she's not bringing him back to castle...why not toss it on a moving vehicle (ala Da Vinci Code) and when Casey starts to track it he's headed in the wrong direction. Just a thought...

Depends whether you believe she was trying to give Casey a head's up or not. I don't think she was, but I do think that when she looked back at the camera, Casey realized she was about to do something that was, in his opinion, stupid. Leaving the watch in a Buy More basket was more a matter of her trying to get rid of it subtly, instead of being uber obvious about it. It could also be a long shot, but maybe she was hoping some kid or someone would grab the basket, think the watch was cool, and take it before Casey could fully realize what it was she was doing.

I think Casey is in on it myself. Remember, both he and Sarah know they are being watched all the time.That has been a big factor all season if you look back on it. If you go back to what happened in the Castle, it was obvious to me that Casey knew what was going on.

Once the General is gone, Sarah goes off on Casey about agreeing with the general. She is visibly upset. He goes calm on the "best partner" he had ever had. Partners that close don't need to talk. They can say more with a nod, a look and a wink than most people can actually say. He started going through the motion and repeating the company line. He was not in a hurry or anything. He was moving slow. He looked right at Sarah, in the eye, and NODS.

Sarah then goes to the Buy More and does what she is supposed to do so long as she is on camera. Casey can see what is going on. He knows what is going to happen and doesn't even move to potentially intercept? No, he was giving them time to get a head start.

So Why? Casey wants Fulcrum. Casey likes Chuck. He owes him. Chuck has saved his life more than once. Casey and Chuck have built a mutual respect for each other and sees Chuck as a part of his team. And being former military, the TEAM COMES FIRST. Even if it means disobeying an order to go after the enemy. (Which, Casey has done before for personal reasons in v. Sensai) He wants Chuck to go after Fulcrum. But he can't let Chuck do it alone because of the danger involved. So, Sarah goes with Chuck to protect him. Casey knows that he will be assigned to go after them. Casey will be in the position to keep the wolves at bay long enough for Chuck to get in position. Then, Casey will be able to bring in the cavalry at just the right time.

Casey is sooo in on this.

^ I think Casey is in on it too. I didn't notice the nod until I rewatched the episode last night. I hope he is! lol

just by casey being so surprised that the general agreed that chuck go into lockdown... you can tell that he wanted to do something about it.

(and to Justyce54 just before) ...
And let us not forget "Semper Fi." That's a big deal for him.

Well great episode, not the best though. Sarah chosing to go rogue and run with Chuck to go rescue his father is epic imo I sincerely don't know what exactly she was trying to achieve by looking back at the camera, but i'm inclined to send Casey a message subtly "I'm your partner in this, cover for us". Casey somehow i think knew already from the previous scene when she confronted him that she might run away. As u saw he wasn't pleased that the general shut down the project, a clear sign that he was getting comfortable with this assignment, and he's compromised too, in his own way . So i'm confident that he's going after them without noticing the general, but it seems to me from the preview that either the general knew already , probably she tapped the cameras and she deduced that Sarah and Chuck are indeed gone, and sent the fighters to clean up everything, Fulcrum, rogue agent, and intersect boy. And i'm not going to talk about the hot kiss that we might see. That is reserved after watching the eppy

As I see it, Chuck shielded Jill for two reasons:

1 - He still has caring (not loving) feelings for her and feels responsible for the current situation they're in.

2 - The "theme" of this season according to an interview with one of the creators I saw (don't ask me when/where 'cuz I can't remember) is Chuck growing from boy to man. This is what a man would do.

And as for Sarah, could you see her ALLOWING Chuck to shield her? Nuh-uh. She'd throw him down to the ground if he ever tried something like that. :-)

My brothers,

I have converted someone! Yes, friends, I showed a friend this episode (actually, just the final minutes of it) and, praise Sarah, he is now part of our congregation!

Last night he took the time to go over four of our scriptures... er... episodes... and promises to watch all that Hulu.com has! I may loan him my first season DVDs too.

Yeah, it's only one person, but if we each bring another into our fold... well...

Exactly she probably will lash out at him for being so foolish, and then after he will be sad and dragged his feet a bit, she will grab him and start kissing him like there's no tomorrow

That's a bold move--loaning out your dvd's--I loaned mine out and had to buy replacements--just in case I didn't get mine back

Regardless, Chuck has chosen Sarah over Jill, not out of no choice. Sarah is definitely his first choice now.

I remember a lot of posters were concerned about this, since vs the Gravitron left the viewers thinking Chuck chose Sarah since Jill was no longer an option. Arent' they happy now that Chuck had the option yet chose Sarah?

A couple other things I noticed last night (5th time watching it). The referance to "Jill's last boyfriend dissappered after Uncle Bernie met him." Anyone think this was Bryce before he went deep undercover?? Also on the shot after they sweep by the Hollywood sign and down to the Buymore you can see the store next to it is called "Underpants etc." It's amazing that they put so many details into a brief sweeping shot that most people won't even pick up on.

I dont think Jill, Bryce, Cole or anyone else can now seperate Charah. Chuck made it quite obvious to Jill and likewise Sarah to Cole that they each had feelings for the other and were totally commited. Bryce, being the smarter of the bunch figured it out on his own.
