I really wish they'd let the show be easily available online this season.

Wow ya. Hulu has Season 1 & 4. Talk about an odd choice of allowance. I missed last week's episode due to either a) DVR not recording it or b) DVR choosing to delete it.
I remember the days when Chuck had its weekly thread along with Heroes good first season. The times, they are a changin'...
In other news...GIT OFF MAH LAWN!

They don't even have the full season of Season 1 on there now. No season 2 or 3 and only an interview from Season 4. >.<
I'm just praying they don't go with a Round Robin ending. After all Chuck has been through, to end where it all starts: Sarah back in the CIA and moving on would just suck. Give us an interesting ending please, but don't give us the blank slate.
Well since the series always had injokes about cult movies and the like what could they do to drive a nail into the series? I'll start.
It was all a dream ala Newhart.

Hmmm...it could be a dream sequence where Chuck is sitting in the Buy More and sees random hot girl (Sarah) and he goes off into a fantasy world.
I also thought that it could be a dream all along, which is ok. It seems to be a bit unoriginal but if done right it could make some sense in that world. Maybe something a little like St. Elsewhere's ending where you see all the things around him that contributed to the fantasy.
I also thought that maybe Sara does totally forget Chuck but after seeing they had a past gives it a shot and they find that they do actually love each other. It will also be the way for them to get completely out of the world of spying and having that white picket fence world together.
BUT I have heard that its a bittersweet ending (but satisfying) and that's too pretty of bow tied around it.
I'm sad it's here, but glad they are going out on their own terms and before the show completely played itself out (it was getting close I'll admit). I haven't loved this season as much as previous, but a good satisfying conclusion will go a long way if they can pull it off.

I'm still convinced that Pops Bartowski is alive out there somewhere and that the show should really end with little baby Clara crawling around and grabbing a pair of sunglasses that someone left lying around and putting them on....

Meh, I was done after season 2 (?)...I never got into it and the only reason I really watched any of it was because of "Jayne".

Things sure have changed, haven't they? There used to be a thread for pretty much every show every week. From Smallville to Chuck to Supernatural to BSG to Fringe and everything in between. Sad that we've fallen so far we can barely muster up the responses for the series finale of one of those shows.

Sigh...I miss those threads. The Heroes threads were a fun as it gets.

Nah, your take on Bionic Woman was the pinnacle of tv show thread-dom. 
Now THAT was fun. Maybe I'll have to find a new show.

As Wonder Woman said to Superman in the Justice League cartoon a year or two ago (in the episode where Grogg turns them into apes):
"Obligatory"
Chuck is/was okay to me, but...*shrugs* Just never caught me.

Great finale. I would love to see it come back. The characters all work together and it is simple, good fun.

You pretty much nailed it. Chuck ends up with the Intersect 2.0, which is the way it should be.|

I did love it when Jeffster saved the day.

That was a very bittersweet ending, but it was also quite good IMO. One of the stronger series finales I've seen.
I'm going to miss Chuck, but they had a great run. It was a show that was unafraid of showing character growth and natural progression. The Casey/Morgan dynamic was one of my favorites in TV history.
Also, Glasses Ellie...*swoon*...
Yes I swuned. I want a Glasses Ellie dangnabit!

I was laughing my butt off over how they were revisiting old locales and plot points (and Sarah costumes). The Weinerlicious revisit damn near caused me to rupture a kidney laughing.|

The Hasselhoff ending for Jeffster was what finally caused said rupture.
