CHUCK (NBC) - News/Discussion/Speculation SPOILERS

[KatG]

I am very upset that we don't have a new episode tomorrow night. Stupid "reality" television.

"The Singoff" is actually pretty good and I don't usually like reality shows. Still it's not "Chuck".

I will take Chuck over any of that stuff any day.

Thanks for the link to that, my friend.

I really can't wait for Chuck to start back up.

I hope the rest of the Season 4 will be less couply stuff and more spy stuff. And, lesser Morgan "funny" scenes, and more Casey working with Chuck and Sarah again. I was a little disappointed in some S4 episodes because there wasn´t enough Casey and if he was there, then doing a baby-sitter to annoying Morgan.

Personally, I have loved this season so far. If we get more of the same quality, I for one will be extremely happy.

I think Morgan has been a comic goldmine, particularly in combination with Casey. During the hiatus, I've rewatched older seasons. I wasn't a Morgan fan in the first season, but I've liked him a whole lot more since he matured a little and got more responsibility.

As Chuck gets more competent, they need a Morgan around to do crazy things like...

Spoiler:

electrocuting himself to save the team.

Given the next three episodes were originally going to be the season/possibly series finale, I expect them to have a whole lot of spy stuff in addition to romance stuff. Though, I do think they probably re-wrote some of it when they got another 11 episodes.

I just love knowing that we still have 14 episodes to look forward to this season.

but then the worrying starts

[Klenotka]

I don´t know, I always believed that S4 will be the last one. They should end on the top, imo. I love Chuck but I feel like they started to run in circles this year with his character - is he a spy/isn´t he a spy was solved last year, why to bring it up again? He has the Intersect/then doesn´t have it/then has it again, and he is back in lying to Ellie again...I just hope there is more in what mama B did to him. I think the reason why papa B sent the laptop to Ellie means that he wanted them to work together and Ellie to help Chuck.

They have progressed the story pretty far and explored many angles. If Season 4 is all there is, I won't really be as upset as I would have if it had been cancelled at the end of S2 or S3. We've gotten lots of good stories and we still have 14 yet to see.

In Stargate-related news, Lou Diamond Phillips has been cast to appear in Episode 415.

I can assume he's playing the male character mentioned in the hidden casting call for that episode:

Spoiler:

Honestly, I think this show could continue telling great stories for at least another season or two.

I'm not saying they couldn't, but it's a matter of degree. If it got canceled after two seasons, particularly with the cliffhanger it had, I would have been really, really upset. If it's canceled after the fourth season, I feel they got most of the core arc told. I can handle that.

Chuck is essentially a "hero's journey" and that part of it is nearly complete.

From what has been announced about upcoming episodes, they are starting to bring back popular characters from past episodes. That's certainly a sign of them going to the well, even though I love the characters in question and I'm looking forward to the episodes in question.

I agree. I love that we've been able to get this much, and as long as it doesn't end on a cliffhanger (please writers, don't get overconfident), I'll be satisfied.

Forever would work for me!
