Okay I love the show and I always will and it is in my top ten list but I just saw the final and am I the only one who hates it?
I mean what was the point of spending five years watching Sarah's character arc if they were just going to completely reset it at the last minute. This series was pure fun and then out of left field for no truly good reason they pull the darkest most depressing ending you could ever give a Tv show. There is no sense of hope or that anything the characters did maters. I have not seen the reset button pushed this badly since Voyager did it every week when i was a kid. This is like a TV version of One More day, it's stupid, pointless, and depressing and it makes the inter series pointless. Chuck could have been a perfect show but then the writers decided to try and be dark and edgy and they ruined the whole story. As I said I love the show but I am not sure I will ever watch it again because the whole story feels pointless now since there was no pay off and Sarah was not allowed to grow as a character.
From what I can tell Chuck only stayed on the air as long as it did because of the fans so why did the writers decide to stab the fanbase in the back like this? I am not saying everything had to be perfect and happy but this ending just leaves us with no hope. I mean we have seen what happens when Chuck loses Sarah before so now he spends the rest of his life as a hopeless drunk living on his sister's couch? Sarah just goes back to being heartless spy because she doesn't remember a thing? Why did we even watch her grow if she was just going to forget it all, what was the point?
As far as I can tell Chuck would have been much better off if Sarah had never come into his life since he wouldn't be a depressed drunk and he would have gotten the manager's job and he most likely would have found someone else at some point who wouldn't have their mind wiped.
I now feel like the whole series went from being about watching a group of people become better people to being about a group of people having their lives ruined. It went from being upbeat to being the single most depressing show in the history of TV.
As I said I still love the show and I will tell people to watch it but this final was so awful I don't think I will ever watch the show again. The series final is up there with One More Day and Abrams Star Trek movies as my most hated plot lines that killed something I loved. I can't believe it ended this way.
Chuck is one of the all time greats, because only the greats can fall this far, it's just a shame when you have to site there and watch them fall.
I'm sorry but I just don't understand what the point of all the angst that was in this show was if all of Sarah's character growth was undone and the pay off to it is undo in the last episode of the show. It just makes the whole story feel like a waist of time. So for me at least Chuck was perfect right up until the last two episodes and then they destroyed the whole story. If there is one show that I would love to see a follow up Tv movie done of that undoes the series final it's Chuck.
The ending of a story hasn't left me feeling this depressed since Mass Effect 3 and sadly there isn't a fan made ending that fixes this one.
