I know a lot of people were upset with the ending of Chuck. A few people I talked to or read posts from said even just 2 more minutes would have been enough for them.
***WARNING CHUCK S5 SPOILERS BELOW***
I do admit that what happened to a Sarah over the last few episodes was not enjoyable to watch. That said, I found the last minute of the last episode wrapped up that story well. Let me reiterate that I thought Sarah losing her memories was really dumb. Not only that but she didn’t lose all of her memories. She could remember her name, she remembered Bryce, yet forgot only memories from the last 5 years? Too stupid. Chuck chose to use the last intersect to save people’s lives sacrificing Sarah’s memories possibly forever–ok I believe that. But then he should be a CIA asset again. Not just free to walk away with their secrets still in his mind. Did we forget that in early seasons they feared that Chuck could end up imprisoned in a bunker forever if he didn’t play ball?
Now back to the end of the last episode. I’m happy it ended as it did because with just a minute more and I think I would have been disappointed. Chuck kisses Sarah and it’s a long kiss. That means it could not have been too bad for Sarah. Had they agreed to “try again” and we ended up with a montage of new first dates and such, to me that would be disappointing. Without her memories Sarah is almost like a different person and so Chuck would be giving up one Sarah, his Sarah, for this newer one. I just would not have been happy with that.
Of course with Chuck having the intersect back in his mind he may have the ability to create another one that could be rigged to restore memories. Though Ellie’s plan of taking wedding photos and a dossier and uploading them into Sarah’s mind doesn’t sound like a valid way to restore memories anyway. When Chuck flashes on a killer’s face he doesn’t become the killer or gain his memories.
Anyway, the last few episodes were stinky with that story line. I do hope they make a TV movie to wrap fix it but if it ends like that which it probably will, I can live with that ending.
