This past Friday "CHUCK" aired its series finale. As I said in my previous blog I didn't watch the show from the beginning but I have enjoyed the last 3 years of the show and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the two-hour season finale.
My top 5 favorite moments
The battle between Chuck and Sarah
Chuck trying to use the dream house that he and Sarah wanted to jog her memory was wonderful. The flashbacks of the last 5 years were great and Zachary Levi showed great emotions in this scene. He really conveyed the pain and sadness that Chuck was feeling.
Morgan reminding Casey that the team is his edge
Morgan (Joshua Gomez) had a great scene with John Casey (Adam Baldwin) when he reminded him that by shutting out his daughter, Sarah, and Chuck that he hadn't regained his edge, but lost it. It showed the mutual respect that the two have and how much Casey has grown to appreciate Morgan.
Jeffster's rendition of "Take On Me"
I wasn't really happy when Lester and Jeff figured out the secret of the Buy More but the writers gave us a great payoff in the series finale. Jeffster singing "Take On Me" so that the bomb wouldn't go off under General Beckman was great and Morgan directing the orchestra was priceless.
Casey Hugs Chuck
Chuck and viewers were surprised when Casey decided to hug Chuck before leaving Castle and going after Gertrude. It showed just how far the big man has come from thinking of Chuck as an annoyance to becoming his friend.
Chuck and Sarah on the beach
I had mixed emotions about this scene. I loved the fact that Chuck supported Sarah and wanted her to know that she could depend on him. Chuck telling Sarah their story reminded me of "The Notebook" for some reason. I don't know if the "magic kiss" theory that Morgan suggested works but I hope Sarah and Chuck will continue to be in love and happily married.
As I said, I had mixed emotions about that last scene. I loved the fact that the show ended with Chuck and Sarah kissing. As I wrote in my last blog that the magic of the show was that it is a love story. I was upset by the ambiguity of the ending. We see Chuck and Sarah kissing but we don't know if she regained all her memories from it or if they'll continue to be husband and wife.
I went online and read other blogs about the series finale of "CHUCK" and found one at smallscreenscoop.com that you can read here that reminded me that an ending can be ambiguous and doesn't have to give you a nice ending wrapped up in a bow because you have to have faith in the characters that you love. I have faith that Chuck and Sarah will be together. Sarah saw Chuck take a bullet for her, Their names were carved into their dream home, and he wouldn't fight her. Even if Morgan's theory on the magic kiss doesn't work, I don't think Sarah would have asked Chuck to kiss her if she wasn't feeling something for him.
I loved "CHUCK." When "SMALLVILLE" wasn't always great, the writers at "CHUCK" never let me down. Thank you to the cast and crew for making such a great show.
