Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Ring" -- Season 2 Finale -- 4/27/09

Chuck Cast

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


In the Season 2 finale, Ellie and Awesome's wedding day arrives, but Chuck must spring into action to save his sister from evil Fulcrum forces and one Ted Roark (Chevy Chase). Guest stars include Scott Bakula, Morgan Fairchild, Bruce Boxleitner and Tony Hale.



Right after I get off work Monday night, I'm watching this and 24. I'm crossing my fingers this won't be the last time we show the people in the above photo.

Huge kudos to Levi, Baldwin and Stahovski along with Josh Schwartz for giving the fans a thoroughly entertaining and fun hour of TV for the last 7 1/2 months.

Also hoping that tonight is not the series finale for this show. Ever since it premiered, I have been loving this show.

Really excited to see the conclusion of Ellie's wedding. Just wondering if Devin will be able to get his awesomeness together and keep Chuck's secret.

So eager for this episode, just hope it is not the lastone.

Ditto. But now that the intersect is supposedly out of Chuck's head, it will be interesting to see if the producers/writers find a way to end this season in a way that leaves open the return of the Chuck-tersect but could also serve as a series finale.

And now my TiVo can move back to catching House without conflicts!

I don't think they can top last week's awesome episode, but I hope they can.

If this is the last I can see Yvonne on the small screen, I'll be majorly pissed.

Just like everyone else who's posted thus far- I'm really excited for this, and hope it's not the Series Finale. Can't wait to watch tonight!

...and leave a comment card that you have noticed and appreciate Subway's advertising and support of "Chuck" and that is why you are eating there today.

I believe the answer is, "No." Most interviews I have seen with the cast say, "Yeah, last week looked like a series finale but it's nowhere close to that."

Then of course you have co-creator Chris Fedak saying the following:

If "Chuck vs. the Ring" winds up being the last episode of the series, how do you think the fans will react?

They're going to burn their living rooms. They're going to destroy their television sets. There could be chaos across the country.

My feeling is I always love endings that get you excited about the next part of the story. Even if, God forbid, we weren't brought back for the season, you would know there are great adventures out there going on for Chuck Bartowski, but it's not something I can wrap my head around. I want to be able to tell those stories.

Here is a link to a PDF that I made quickly for anyone that is going to Subway today.

Feel free to print it out, write your name on it, cut it out and hand to the cashier if no comment box is available.

I WAS going to go to Subway for lunch and support this. But when I got there, they have a handwritten sign that says they don't support the $5 dollar footlong "promotion". Seriously? I won't support that Subway, but may try to go to one tonight for dinner.

So if NBC does renew this, do you keep this on Monday nights? I really can't see another day to put this where the ratings would be any higher.

In Schwartz’s own words: “the show would shift [in the third season] and become something even bigger than what is now. There was always a way designed to, like, kick out the jams and take it to 11, in the next season.”

The All Regular Footlongs for $5 promotion ended on the 19th. The current promotion is the old $5 footlong promotion with 8 to choose from:

B.L.T.
Black Forest Ham
Cold Cut Trio
Meatball Marinara
Oven Roasted Chicken Breast
Spicy Italian
Veggie
Plus an 8th one that each market decides on. In my market, it's Tuna Fish.

Psst......You didn't hear it from me, but the Subways inside Wal-Mart aren't bound by the same promotion, so they're still running the All Regular Footlongs for $5 promotion there.

Subway for dinner for sure.

Can't wait for this episode. Just finished Season 1 last night.

I love this show more than anything else on TV. There are some other shows that are very good, but none of them I'd be as "up in arms" over like I am Chuck. (Especially the ones that have had longer runs.)

(Trying to get EVERYONE I know to watch tonight.)

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Ring" -- Season 2 Finale -- 4/27/09

Just over halfway through the ep and they've thrown in a wrinkle which would lead to a PERFECT season 3. (Provided they don't resolve it in the last 20 minutes. lol)

I've got a guess, with that last "peeking" shot and upon what it was gazing, but I wonder if I'm right about what Fedak says about "fans burning their living rooms". I really kind of hope I'm not right, especially if it does make it to season 3.

*BTW, thanks for that commercial Zekeburger1979!

Shades of the Moldavian Massacre?
