Chuck: The Nerd in Five Seasons


Like everybody, I thought that Chuck would end with a fairy tale ending: Nerdherder and CIA spy Chuck Bartowski living a happy family with the love of his life, Sarah Walker, with everybody being there to celebrate what they had after all those years.

However, it turned out to be otherwise. With Season 5 going back to the show's roots, the whole series ended with a radical turn, that which leaves an ending that rebuilds and reminisces all the events that have transpired in the past four seasons. Chuck and Sarah, with the aim of recovering the memories that have been wiped out of her memories due to the faulty Intersect, went back to their most significant moments in the dying seconds of the series, and I think that there could be no better ending than that. This just affirms that the show's peak (and focal point) does not rest on a single ending, but more importantly, on the small events that transpired in each episode that brought Chuck, Sarah, the team and their friends, and significantly, the viewers, closer together.

And just like that, Schwartz and Fedak put a close to Chuck. Thanks for the five awesome seasons!
