I was thinking the same thing! How Matrix-y!
Great episode. Everything was flying by so fast that I thought it was close to the end, but I'd pause it and there would be 20-30 minutes left! I was unable to watch it live, unfortunately
Lots of great lines, but I think the best was when Ellie was thanking Chuck for giving her the wedding she actually wanted:
Ellie - Sometimes I think you have super powers.
Chuck - I wish.
Ellie - I know!
The one problem I had with it - and it's not necessarily a bad problem - is that I think the producers and writers had an inkling that the show might not be picked up so they threw some answers out there that really should have waited a while. Like Chuck's dad actually being the guy who invented the intersect, Bryce knowing it, etc.). Years ago you had to wait several seasons for some big questions to be answered. I just think these days they throw it all out there at once and that severely shortens a show's life IMHO.
So . . . questions for Season 3 (I got a little frustrated with the "To Be Continued" because if it's not picked up that's a mean taunt):
1) What will happen to Chuck now? Real spy? He doesn't necessarily need protection any more. He can probably hold his own against Casey now
2) Was this meant to write out the folks at the Buy More? You could say they literally went out with a bang - at least Jeffster did. I hope not because I really like the Chuck/Morgan relationship.
3) Will Chuck finally find his own apartment?
4) Have we seen the last of Bryce? We thought he was dead before.
5) Who/what is this new threat? Did that guy call it The Ring? Meaner and more covert than Fulcrum? Hmmmmmm . . .
6) Sarah and Chuck . . . what now?

Mal: "Yeah"
Zoe: "So not running now"
Mal: "Not so much"

Incredible episode and a fantastic season finale!
How cool is it that Chuck now seems to be able to access the Intersect and download info like his shiny new Kung Fu ability?!? That was great!
Please NBC! Bring Chuck back next season!

I have to say....that was one of the most EPIC things I've ever seen. Simply amazing.
I saw the end coming, in fact, I saw a lot of it coming, but that didn't stop it from being gorram awesome!
RIPWash, I have to agree about the little problem you pointed out, but then these things spiced the show up a bit I thought, as otherwise this season probably wouldn't have been as exciting as it was, but yes, I do kind of agree with you.
My opinions on your open questions:
1) Something tells me there will be a lot of "how does this new intersect work?" and "how can we get it out of Chuck's brain?" but then also "lets exploit Chuck!" Casey definitely better watch himself!
2) I'm not SO bothered about the Buy More, although I did quite often like their exploits, but I really hope Morgan is still in it somehow. Chuck really wouldn't be Chuck without Morgan. And, is it just me, or did Jeffster seem to get infinitely better since the last episode they performed?
4) Something tells me he's actually dead this time, although I've been wrong before. This time it was a big deal, his death, and I'm not sure they'd want to cheapen that on later viewings.
As for the others? I have no idea.
But this show better come back. It's bad enough we have to wait until like September if it does, but if it doesn't come back at all?
Heads will roll.

I thought the whole thing felt very rushed. Like we were seeing 3 episodes crammed into one. I liked the very end for the actual moment of it, but I think it sufficiently kills the show. Unless there's some glitch in the new programming Chuck is essentially Neo. That ruins a lot of suspense. I mean just look at the matrix sequels. Neo was invincible and could do anything pretty much. That gets boring.
I'm still hoping they come back but I think they're going to pull a lot of silly stuff to get the show back in working order after this.

The way I see it right now is that the writers/producers did rush the final result (although they rushed it very well) in order to throw out some answers for the fans and make the ending a "Holy 
" moment for everyone. Chuck can now "download" information he needs to get by mentally and physically. But I'll also bet you that there are "gliches" in the system since the new one was such a rush job by Steve Bartowski. Brilliant man, but I'll bet he cut a few corners to get what he wanted in the timeframe Fulcrum AND the CIA was demanding of him. So therefore I'll bet that will cause some potential mayhem with Chuck in the possible (hopefully) 3rd season. Chuck needs info . . . it won't work at all or won't work correctly. He needs to learn JuJitsu, he downloads Advanced Knitting instead. LOL

1)Real spy.
2) Really cool eps where the old characters pop in for a show- big "YEAH!!!" factor there.
3) Never.
4) Sadly, I think so.
5) Have no fear, the world & governments are full of bad guys.
6) Love on the run.

If it doesn't get renewed...maybe we can at least get a theatrical movie...?
Whoah. Deja vu.

I've been avoiding this thread because I hadn't watched the finale yet. I just finished it.
I'm damn near speechless.
Just WOW.
Chuck is one of a very, very few shows that has NEVER disappointed me. Supernatural is another. Some episodes are better than others, but I've never walked away from an episode thinking it was a waste of time, or a filler episode.
The Chuck season (and it BETTER be season, not series) finale was the best one yet!

anyway, it'll come back. Right? RIGHT?!?

I have no problems with questions being answered like those dealing with Chuck's father as long as others are there to replace them like what is this ring which is their new adversary, and how will Casey’s & Sarah’s characters have to change to fit into this new dynamic.
I tend to think we’ll no longer be a Buymore in the story line except in mention from time to time and I think this will make the secondary characters less regular and more recurring to save the producers money, but I think the secondary characters will have to adapt and grow to fit into this new dynamic too.
I’m not sure How Morgan will be able to keep his dream alive and still be in the show unless next season will have episodes in Hawaii, and Jeff & Lester “Jeffster” will have to quit Buymore and make it big. I sure hope “Chuck” gets picked up for a third season and if it goes to Hawaii that it doesn’t jump the shark.
