TV Review: Chuck - "Chuck Versus the Goodbye" - Page 3

Now, for the drawbacks. The two hour finale is full of plot holes. Why does Quinn need to remind Sarah of Ellie's name after Sarah studies files on Chuck and his loved ones? How does Morgan gets Jeffster dressed and ready to perform so quickly? How does Casey know that Sarah has taken up residence in her old apartment? The list goes on and on. Chuck has never been the best written series on television, but the final two hours are some of the worst, logic wise. This is disappointing, after five great years. The fact that the wonderful depth of heart distracts fans enough to enjoy the episodes does not take away from the wish that a little more time had been taken to make the story make more sense. Ah, well. Nothing can be done about it now.

In the end, Chuck deserves thanks and praise for the five years it touched, tickled, and entertained us. It will be sorely missed.

Oh, and did anyone else catch that Chuck ends with Chuck possessing a newly updated version of the Intersect in his head? Awesome!

    I can't do this, but you guys can. Go around and get a survey of people who want chuck back for season 6 and send it to NBC tv studio or whatever. That will be seen by them more than them seeing these comments. If you get enough people surveyed maybe they will put chuck back on. Ask people to survey their friends too. Good luck if you do. I. Just giving an idea. I really miss chuck. He is awesome.

    Chuck will return for season 6. I promise! NBC is nuts! We the fans pay the bills, and make the decisions too! NBC just does not realize the power we the fans have over them. We the fans will make the decisions, because we are their stockholders, their BOSSES! They will learn when we take our fight to the streets/internet/skywaves.. Boycott nbc everyone, then the sponsors will boycott nbc. Then we will win, i promise!!

    The fans can buy chuck, and buy a tv network. It's time we the people took control of television programming away from networks, away from old executives, aways from a stupid tired way of deciding what stays and what goes;(neilson crap). Your fired NBC!, period!! We will boycott you forever, and your sponsors for ever too! We are contacting them all now!!!!

    I love Chuck, too, but guys, it's canceled. It's not coming back. Maybe someday we'll get a movie or something, but that seems like a very long shot. Just enjoy the gift given to us. :)

    Sadly, it is too late to save it. The best we can hope for now is a feature film followup, though that's a long shot.

    I can't understand why the network would take such s good show off the air after only. 5 sessions. When other shows that weren't. as good. have. lasted longer. What were they thinking. Bring Chuck. back

    Mike you make me laugh thats freaking funny I am with you on it though Bro we do have more power than they like to realize I am down with creating a survey. I think we should figure something out and I am sure all of you are from different parts of the country so we could make something work. If your interested people in trying to make this happen send me an email and lets figure out a way. [personal contact info deleted]
