What a fucking AWESOME episode. Equal parts of everything that's great about the show. I may stop watching NBC indefinitely if they cancel this show. Yep, that includes The Office & Heroes. Both of those suck big time right now anyway compared to this show.

i also thought they were trying to tie things up neatly, but then i found this. this is a quote from josh schwartz, one of the co-creators of the show, about the season finale.
"If, in two weeks, that is the last episode of the show to ever air, it will be one of the least satisfying finales of all time. Chris Fedak, the guy who created the show, said people will set their living rooms on fire."

Come on, NBC. You kept Scrubs on for all those years and it never was a hit. This show is so marketable, even if it doesn't have high ratings they have to see how popular it could be. The way things are going it looks like someone could start watching next season without having to know the whole backstory. They need to get reruns on the cable networks, reair it in the Summer.

I know online petitions are usually pretty dumb, but:

Has 18,222 signatures so far. Signing it made me feel like I was doing something, at least.

Awesome episode tonight.
Loved the scene with Sarah and Chuck getting their freak on and Boooo to Morgan fucking him over with the damn condom. Someone needs to post pics of Sarah in her provocative attire =) I thought Levi and Strahovski had some really hot sexual chemistry in that scene.
Chevy Chase is an awesome villain. I have to give Josh Schwartz credit for casting him this season. Hopefully this also rejuvinates Chevy's career. His little nod to Shaq with "Can you Dig it?" was freaking hilarious.
Morgan's dream about being a Beni Hana Chef and moving to Hawaii
I'm not going to go off on a tangent and start bashing NBC. It's out of my hands as a viewer and Non-Nielsen family. I'm happy that they paid for a 2nd season and ordered a full 22 episode season even before the TV season began. It's those damn Nielsen viewers who aren't watching Chuck Live or are watching the CBS comedies and Dancing with the Stars instead. The numbers have been awful, but they have stuck with it.
I do have a feeling that if we get a 3rd season, it's going to be a really different show.
Looking forward to the last episode. Who's going to pick up season 2 on DVD? I sure as hell am.

Isnt Hawaii where they shipped Tan or whatever his name was from season 1? They should have an episode with Morgan in Hawaii where they run into each other.

Yeah, the forensics dude from Dexter (CS Lee) was a guest star in season 1 as the Assistant Manager before Emmett. I think he indeed went to Hawaii.

Do you think they just cut out the scene where Chuck tried to convince Sarah that if they really trusted each other they shouldn't need a condom?

But then again, with Yvonne... she probably smells like daisies and fruits all the time.

Best episode of the series, I loved every minute of it. If this doesn't come back, I'm going to go ballistic. Just fucking awesome.

Same. The only time I watch NBC is for Chuck and The Office but if they cancel Chuck, I'm done with them. They got rid of Journeyman last season, another one of my favorite shows.

I was pissed when they canceled The Black Donnelly's.
I was pissed when they canceled Studio 60.
I will never watch an NBC show EVER again if they cancel Chuck. Never. And if I go back on this and you catch me posting in an NBC show thread I give mods full authorization to suspend my membership.
All Law & Orders will be removed from my season pass.
No more 30 Rock.
No Conan. No Today Show.
I will actually delete the channel from my Tivo so it is skipped on my guide and when I switch channels.

I have to agree with all the posts....a good season/series finale. the wedding will have a cliffhanger of some kind.
the only show I'll watch now will be 30 Rock is this gets canceled. could care less if Heroes comes back.

Nice gif
And yeah, I'm still pissed about Studio 60 getting dropped. Why should I/we invest time into a show NBC will bail on when it's at its peak?

During that scene last night when he's struggling to hide the truth about Chuck from his wife-to-be, I turned to my brother and said, "Wow, that guy's really got acting chops." At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I think he may be the best actor on this show.
And if Chuck has to go, I think last night's ep and the wedding ep next week should make for a pretty awesome finale.
