When you decide to randomly gif two random scenes.

This is not about me, it is about my spouse.

I kept the last few episodes a carefully guarded secret from my wife so she wouldn’t refuse to watch the show(big happy ending girl). Needless to say it was ridiculously funny to watch someone experience Sarah’s memory loss for the first time, and then realize that the show ends without her explicitly getting it back. I know some people think it’s cool how it ended, but I for one certainly do not, and my wife shared my sentiment.

About time for a movie!

Maybe it's because I'm new to this subreddit, but I notice no one ever mentions Carina. So here is a Mini Anden/Carina appreciation post. One of the most beautiful women of all time, at least in my opinion. And every character that I've seen her portray has been very quick and sharp-tongued which means it comes from the actress. Smart and beautiful, what a combination!

(for legal reasons, this is a joke)

I don't think this team gets enough love, so here's this little video, which in my humble opinion is the best Chuck fan video out there in terms of editing and music! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Just saw this about the new Scrubs reboot https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a73229059/scrubs-reboot-season-2-cast-update/

Come on, lets get one for Chuck!!!

I recently finished the show and I am personally not the biggest fan of open to interpretation endings. I know that sarah will fall in love with chuck again after the kiss. But for me the sad thing was the entirety of 5 seasons of character development on sarah going into vain. It felt like the ending just was not giving. Most of the characters got ending and closure except for chuck and sarah. The show revolved around those two and season 5 felt like it tried to forcefully break them. Constantly it tried to do that. And in ep 11-13 chuck had a few chances to get her memory back but he just couldn't. I really felt those episodes created tension but the show really didn't require a bittersweet ending. Show had a good journey with character growth. And by removing Sarah's journey in the end it just pinches in the heart. It was heartbreaking. Wish there would have been a definite closure rather than an open ending.

This is hilarious

There was incredible chemistry between Casey and Morgan!

I apologize in advance if this topic isn't allowed here.

This is a question mainly for the Chuckettes of this sub (but Chuckers are welcome to chime in too): does anyone know of a Sarah Walker makeup tutorial + what products she would use?

I have recently finished one of the best shows of my life, and feel unsatisfied at the ending of Chuck. Mostly because I don't want the series to end, but also because they are just such awesome cast. So I am asking you guys, what do you think it would look like if Chuck had a sixth season and what do you think would happen.

Personally I was thinking to get the sixth season started, a criminal could’ve kidnapped Chuck and Sarah’s child as revenge towards Chuck for killing one of his past enemies. Then that will get Chuck and Sarah back into the spy business. And of course sometime within there it be revealed to us if Sarah has gained her memory back or not.

Edit: Guys I know all good things must come to an end but I’m just wondering what it would look like.

I just don't understand this decision.

ENG:

For fans who watched it back when it originally aired: I'd love to hear details about how the audience reacted to the hook left by season 2.

What were the theories at the time about the show's future, statements from the writers, what was the audience's reaction, how long did it take for season 3 to arrive?

BR:

Para os fãs que assistiram na época do lançamento: Eu adoraria ouvir detalhes sobre como o público reagiu ao gancho deixado pela 2ª temporada.

Quais foram as teorias na época sobre o futuro da serie, declarações dos roteiristas, qual a reação do público, quanto tempo demorou até que a 3ª temporada chegasse?

“Although, come to think of it, you might wanna bring a sweater with you… because it can get a little nippy out on the water.”

There should be a new series based on Jeff and Lester being professional spy’s and successfully managing to gain Chuck’s trust. All for one huge mission given by Bryce Larkin’s cousin to seek revenge on Chuck for doing something idk what.

Push it face off

Chuck 4×13 or Brooklyn 99 7×13?

ENG:

At this point I'm on the last episode of the second season, which has an incredible pace, by the way, but as a screenwriter I always keep thinking about spinoffs or continuations. Just to be clear, these ideas are purely a flight of imagination and some fun from a fan of the series.

Here are a few of them:

Colonel Casey

This series idea is entirely focused on the most patriotic of spies, Agent Casey. From his early years, his training with Bennett, as well as his relationship with Ilsa Trinchina.

Jenny and Jack

Jenny Burton is one of Sarah Walker's identities. Daughter of con artist Jack Burton, she moves from place to place while running cons with her father, until he's arrested and she's recruited by the CIA.

The series would have a school setting as backdrop, with the central conflict being this teenage girl trying to form bonds while juggling her father's cons and their dysfunctional family.

Maybe a somewhat procedural structure where a new con comes up every week, tied to typical teenage problems.

That would change drastically after her father's arrest, when the show would shift focus to her training and her growth into the Sarah we know.

Codename ORION

What was Chuck's father like before he had to disappear? What were his heroic deeds that, in Chuck, are only mentioned?

"Orion," as we know, is Stephen J. Bartowski, Chuck's father and creator of the Intersect, but before that he was a brilliant college student whose rival, Ted Roark, gets in the way of his plans.

The series would focus on the Ted vs. Stephen dynamic, but with him being just a "regular guy," same as his son — his recruitment by the CIA, his wife (as well as the circumstances surrounding her disappearance), and the path toward becoming Orion.

Buy More

No espionage here :(

The series follows a branch of the Buy More store. In the style of "The Office," we'd follow the day-to-day of the "Nerd Herd" and its crazy employees.

Sales quotas, bizarre dynamics, a weird boss, the threat of giants like Amazon, or internal competition, like the Beverly Hills branch. The protagonist? Big Mike. Here we explore not only his journey to becoming team leader, but also the whole crazy team through the magnifying lens the "workplace comedy" genre can offer.

"When you buy more, you save more. And when you save more, you can buy more. And when you buy more, you save more. It all starts when you BUY MORE."

Jeffster

Ok... this one's about the most problematic and cancelable characters these days. Jeff & Lester. But forget all the weird stuff.

Here's an exercise in imagination.

We have kid versions of Jeff Barnes and Lester Patel, just boys getting into trouble at school, with a bit of a "Home Alone" vibe where kids face problems bigger than themselves, or "Pinky and the Brain" and the foolproof schemes the two of them would cook up together.

Here we'd get a fun, softened-for-today's-times story about how the two of them met, how they formed the band "Jeffster!," became friends, started working together, in a dynamic where Jeff, being older, would befriend Lester after some absurd situation.

I'm also thinking about Jeff and his dysfunctional family context, his mom in prison, his pet ferret... as well as Lester and his Indian heritage, which could be explored.

Making it clear that I know this idea doesn't follow the show's established canon, it would just be cool to see the two of them together, but maybe without crossing certain moral lines...

Hibachi

Ok, I know this will be explored in season three, but so far we know Morgan quit the store to chase his dream of learning the hibachi technique and becoming a Benihana chef in Hawaii. A miniseries, maybe?

That's it!

The heat is on for Morgan. He's in an unfamiliar place, chasing an absurd dream — that's all I need. We'd obviously get a saga about adapting, about the hostility of a kitchen, and the hard road to becoming a Benihana chef, from zero. Better yet, a series to answer the question: Who is Morgan without his friend Chuck?

Spy Test

This one's meant to keep the main show's tone, but expand the universe more broadly — the espionage, the beginning of the antagonism with the "Fulcrum" agency — and bring back secondary characters from Chuck.

This series would focus on a brand-new group. Promising recruits going through CIA/NSA training and assigned to deal with and fight the clandestine spy agency made up of former agents known as "Fulcrum," here in its early years.

General Beckman's character, though younger, would have the job of training these agents.

Chuck (Reboot)

I saved this one for last.

Not that Chuck needs a reboot, but I kept thinking that in a world so full of AI these days, that was a concept already present somehow in the "Intersect."

How would these dynamics play out today if the series were teleported into our present? It's something interesting to think about.

PT-BR:

A essa altura eu estou no último episódio da segunda temporada que tem um ritmo incrível, diga-se de passagem, mas enquanto roteirista sempre fico pensando em derivados ou continuações. Deixando Claro que as ideias são puro exercício de imaginação e a brincadeira de um fã da série

Aqui vão algumas delas:

Coronel Casey

Essa ideia de série é totalmente focada no mais patriota dos espiões, Agente Casey. Desde seus primeiros anos, seu treinamento com Bennett, bem como sua relação com Ilsa Trinchina.

Jenny and Jack

Jenny Burton é uma das identidades de Sarah Walker. Filha do golpista Jack Burton, ela vive de lugar em lugar enquanto aplica golpes com seu pai, até ele ser preso e ela recrutada pela CIA.

A série teria o contexto escolar como pano de fundo e o conflito central sobre essa garota adolescente tentando criar laços, conciliar os golpes do pai e a família disfuncional.

Talvez uma estrutura meio procedural em que um novo golpe surge a cada semana, conectados a problemas comuns de uma adolescente.

Isso mudaria drasticamente após a prisão do pai, quando o show teria o foco em seu treinamento e seu amadurecimento para virar a Sarah que conhecemos.

Codinome ORION

Como o pai de Chuck era antes de precisar sumir? Quais foram seus atos heroicos que, em Chuck, são só mencionados?

"Orion", como sabemos, é Stephen J. Bartowski, pai de Chuck e criador do intersect, mas antes ele foi um genial estudante universitário cujo rival, Ted Roark, atrapalha seus planos.

A série seria focada na dinâmica Ted vs. Stephen, mas com ele sendo apenas um "cara normal", assim como o filho, seu recrutamento pela CIA, sua esposa (bem como as circunstâncias que envolvem o sumiço dela) e o caminho até se tornar Orion.

Buy More

Sem espionagem aqui :(

A série acompanha uma filial da loja Compre Mais. Ao estilo "The Office" acompanharemos o dia a dia da "Nerd Herd" e seus funcionários malucos.

Metas de venda, dinâmicas bizarras, um chefe estranho, a ameaça de gigantes como a Amazon, ou a concorrência interna, como a da filial de Beverly Hills. O protagonista? Big Mike. Aqui exploramos não só sua trajetória até virar chefe da equipe, como também toda a equipe maluca com uma lente de aumento que o gênero "workplace comedy" é capaz de proporcionar.

"When you buy more, you save more. And when you save more, you can buy more. And when you buy more, you save more. It all starts when you BUY MORE."

Jeffster

Ok... essa aqui é sobre os personagens mais problemáticos e canceláveis hoje em dia. Jeff & Lester. Mas esqueça toda a parte estranha.

Aqui vai um exercício de imaginação.

Temos versões crianças de Jeff Barnes e Lester Patel, eles são apenas garotos aprontando na escola numa pegada meio "Home Alone", onde crianças enfrentam problemas maiores que elas, ou "Pinky and the Brain" e os planos infalíveis que os dois criariam juntos.

Aqui teremos uma história divertida e suavizada para os tempos atuais sobre como eles dois se conheceram, como criaram a banda "Jeffster!", ficaram amigos, começaram a trabalhar juntos, numa dinâmica em que Jeff, mais velho, ficaria amigo do Lester após alguma situação absurda.

Também penso sobre Jeff e o contexto familiar disfuncional, sua mãe presidiária, seu furão de estimação... bem como Lester e sua ascendência indiana poderiam ser explorados.

Deixando claro que eu sei que essa ideia não segue o cânone estabelecido da série, apenas seria legal ver os dois juntos, mas talvez sem cruzar certos limites morais...

Hibachi

Ok, eu sei que isso será explorado na terceira temporada, mas até aqui sabemos que Morgan pediu demissão da loja para seguir seu sonho de aprender a técnica hibachi e virar um chef do Benihana no Havaí. Uma minissérie, talvez?

É isso!

A chapa esquentou para Morgan. Ele está num lugar desconhecido e perseguindo um sonho absurdo, é só o que preciso. Obviamente teríamos uma saga sobre adaptação, sobre a hostilidade de uma cozinha e o caminho árduo de se tornar um chef do Benihana, do 0. Melhor, uma série para responder à pergunta: Quem é Morgan sem o seu amigo Chuck?

"Spy Test"

Essa é pra manter o tom da série principal, mas expandir o universo de maneira mais ampla, a espionagem, o início do antagonismo com a agência "Fulcrum", e trazer de volta personagens secundários de Chuck.

Essa série focaria em um grupo totalmente novo. Recrutas promissores que vão passando pelo treinamento da CIA/NSA e são designados para lidar e combater a agência de espionagem clandestina formada por ex-agentes e denominada como "Fulcrum", aqui em seus anos iniciais.

A personagem da General Beckman, porém mais jovem, teria aqui a tarefa de treinar esses agentes.

Chuck (Reboot)

Essa eu deixei para o final.

Não que Chuck precise de um reboot, mas eu fiquei pensando que, em um mundo lotado de IA hoje em dia, esse era um conceito que estava presente ali de alguma maneira no "Intersect".

Como essas dinâmicas funcionariam hoje, caso a série fosse teletransportada para o nosso presente? É algo que é interessante pensar.

Big Trouble in Little China. Complete box office flop and cult classic was released. Big influence on the series

John Carpenter refused to work with another Hollywood studio and went back to a working on only Independent films because this movie did so badly

IYKYK

the main one that comes to mind for me is the recurring classic “don’t freak out” but i’m interested if there’s any catchphrases, scenes or cliches that are representative of the identity of the show for you? anything that brings back all your favourite memories of Chuck or maybe a tagline from your favourite character.

Okay, he's definitely not a pleasant person, but somehow it felt so over the top that Chuck, Sarah and her friend often referred to him as if he were ugly or repulsive and no woman could possibly be attracted to him.
