it's a perfect ending: it requires the fans to really absorb everything they know about the show and know that, of course, Sarah fell in love with him again.

@Pumpkinshire Жыл бұрын

I always thought most of Sarah’s memories tied to Chuck came back, but not all the little boring ones. Like how Morgan prioritized memories of Chuck over movies. Chuck’s stories reminded Sarah and her emotions came back which is why she asked Chuck to kiss her because she believed and remembered Chuck, just not things about missions or phone numbers.

The problem is that I could say oh yeah she'll obviously fall for him again, but I feel like the investment I put into the relationship over the past 5 seasons was ripped away in the last 3 episodes like they didn't matter. This was an optimistic spy thriller, I wanted them to all say goodbye to the apartments as Ellie and Awesome go to Chicago and Morgan and Alex move in then Sarah and Chuck move out to go to the house they just bought by selling the BuyMore. But now there will always be a disconnect between Chuck and Sarah as he remembers the memories that brought him close but he has to relive them alone and he can't recreate the spy adventures that brought them together. All I'm saying is I needed 1 more episode or a movie so that I can be set right knowing their relationship returned to where it was before and there's no disconnect. Hell, I'd settle for a movie where they've been doing more spy work together and it's repaired the relationship the same way we saw it develop in the show.

When I first watched the finale (way back when the show first aired), I felt like it was a virtual screw you to the fans. I was really upset and angry, but after years of not watching the show, I recently went back and watched the entire series and fell in love with these characters all over again and especially the epic love story between Chuck and Sarah (the best I have ever seen to this day!). After watching the finale a couple more times, I can see now how it all makes sense, and I can also see how she wants to be with him again and fight to get her memories back. As Yvonne said in an interview years ago, you see Sarah start to fall in love with Chuck all over again. The biggest giveaway is that she went to the beach where they ended their first date because that was an important place to them, it's so obvious. I know everybody would have liked to have seen a big mushy romantic scene, but I think this actually was very emotional because of the way she reacts and the emotions she goes through while Chuck tells her the story of their lives together. Then the kiss at the end just nails it (she clearly wants to get her life back with Chuck), and as he once put his trust in her, she now puts her trust in him.

I agree with you, but i think her memories were "just" surpressed. Just like the Belgian was doing to Chuck.. he was "erasing" his memories, but a "magical" kiss made Chuck regain all of them. In my head, it means that he was surpressing everything but the Intersect, instead of erasing them. I know that those are different things, however, with she remebering how to place every object at the Wienerlicious and the beach itself, as you said, means that she hasn't forgotten anything, the memories are there, and Chuck has to bring them back. The answer for everything is the magical kiss, just like Morgan said, and Sarah did in the Belgian case. Sorry for the English, I try my best.

In my point of view, it is a plot hole, because she could had lost her memories, but the emotions should be there. Or, maybe, she just couldn't see it, because she had become a cold blooded spy again. The memories could be gone, but emotions couldn't (at least i think so.. i'm no writer hahaha).

Unless what they wanted to convey is that she is simply defaulting to the old Sarah of S1 and 2 who could not admit her feelings to Chuck even when it was clear to everyone that she loved him.

I did hear Fedak saying that the memories are coming back and denying that they intended for the character development to be lost

One of the reasons why I hate the ending of Chuck is because for years, we had a constant will they won’t they?

They decided they wanted to end like that which left us with he needs to do this all again. 😡

Personally, I love the ending now that I am older and have studied writing professionally. I understand why its polarizing for many. But its very clear by the end of the beach scene that whether or not she remembers Chuck and their story is irrelevant. Yes, we got several glimpses that those memories are still there and occasionally resurface. There’s no doubt in my mind that she does eventually remember. But the more important thing is *she wants to.* Sarah was already falling in love with Chuck all over again by those last few episodes. And Chuck now gets a chance at what he always wanted; a relationship with Sarah without all the spy stuff. No matter which way you slice it, they end up together and stronger than before.

@kirkfletcher6028 8 ай бұрын

"...and have studied writing professionally." I sort of agree, but this is partly the problem - that's it's objectively a good "writer's ending", but failed at the optimistic tone of the show. That said, it's probably helped spur fans on. "Always leave them wanting more" as they say. Well, it certainly worked. I'm surprised the "Governor" watch his Dad devised didn't play into it. It could have. And of course, he has the Intersect and his Dad's old cabin (the first version of the Intersect was just an info dump via email after all - no fighting skills). For me though, it isn't enough for her to fall in love again (as some have suggested). We are the sum of our memories, and having her old memories lost would suck. She needs to get those back. She needs to "exist" again.

I just finished it and it literally broke me. I’ve always wanted someone to pull the move of not having a happy ending because it’s so played out, but now I get why we need happy endings. The whole point of the show was that Chuck needed to be with Sarah, that’s why he wanted to be a real spy in the first place. And now he’s him 5 years later, and she’s still Sarah from the beginning and it took so much growth for her to be ready for him, they had the house and talked about babies and everything! I’ll never be the same.

i would rather see Chuck come back as a mini-series. Like dexter. The storyline should be Chuck and Sarah going on missions with the dynamic reversed Chuck as the handler and Sarah as the asset. they should go on a quest to rebuild his dad's work with the Intersect so that they can restore all of Sarah's memories (basically come to the conclusion that they can use the power of Intersect 3.0 to learn to fill in the gaps of the scattered research) Have them slowly re-kindle the love for each other and realize they don't need. At which point Chuck wipes the intersect from his mind so no one has that kind of power and they both retire.

I have come to really appreciate the ending. At first, I disliked it because I felt it didn't match the show's optimistic tone. However, as I've gotten older and been through some real hard relationship shit myself, I've come to see the ending differently. Who is Chuck? He's a nice guy who wants two lives but has to pick one. Despite his efforts, he never quite gets both. That's how the show starts and it's how it ends, and there's a beauty to that. Having said that, I appreciate Zach's words in this video and I'd obviously be more than happy to see all the movies!

@yeskiii 18 күн бұрын

Zachary is a gem, so glad to hear he didn't care for the ending either. The show was too optimistic to not have Sarah remember, certainly. But its the fact that we need to discuss, ask these questions and justify in our heads thats what the ending meant that shows they really dropped the ball on the ending. There's no emotion, happiness, or satisfaction for us the viewers when we have to cobble that together in our heads after the final scene, rather than watching it unfold in a powerful and compelling way on the screen.

Personally, If they were to make a movie, they need to start exactly where this one left off. Sure, the cast is all older, but I think, Zac and Yvonne could pull it off. The magic kiss working would be too easy IMO. After a short, goodbye, Sarah should get in her car and drive off, while driving, she is obviously emotional, and mindlessly turns on the radio,. and the Feeling Good by Nina Simone comes on. This triggers her emotions (if not her actual memory) and she spins the car around and returns to the beach to Chuck. This ties up the polarizing ending, allows them to start, and probably fast forward a few years, Plus, maybe its just me, But to me, the music was so important to the series, would be nice to use it to tie it all back together,
