Why the hate on #Chuck Season 5?
Friday, November 11, 2011 at 8:52PM So as you know I have been a fan of the show Chuck, now in it's 5th Season on NBC, from Season 1 Episode 1 and actually before that. I bought Subway Subs to save it from cancellation. I stuck it out through Shaw and feel rewarded 5 seasons later for having done so. Much like during the Shaw episodes there seems to be a lot of hate floating out there directed towards Season 5 and the Chuck v. Morgan plot line.
Frankly I am really enjoying this season. It has been a good mix of the things that make this show great, the relationships, and a healthy mix of bone chilling action/twists and gut splitting comedy. More than that though I really feel like the Chuck v. Morgan plot actually fit in well with the mythology of the show. It was about both of them discovering who they are and being OK with it. Chuck is a hero and he always has been with or without Intersect. Even from the very first episode he never needed it to save the day, he just had to be himself. I think now he is finally coming to realize that and it's a good thing. That the intersect would malfunction in Morgan's head (tonight's EPIC plot twist not withstanding, which for the record I did not see coming so whatever haters!) to me it makes sense. There is a reason why Bryce sent Chuck the intersect, he was special he had the intellect and pureness of character to handle it and keep the intersect in check. Morgan on the other hand was always more impulsive and I think we saw the intersect taking advantage of that.
As far as the wild roller coaster ride that was tonight's episode well where to even begin. It was one of my favorite and they've definitely setup some interesting stuff going forward both on the spy side but also, in perhaps one of most hilarious twists of the show ever, involving Jeff on the Buy More side as well. I'll be a fan of this show until the very last episode there is not doubt in my mind about that and it looks like Chuck will go out with a few bangs, a few laughs, and of course there's Charah! What more could we ask from our favorite show after five GREAT seasons? Nothing. To the cast and crew I hope this last season was as enjoyable to make and the same fun wild ride as it has been to watch so far.
Aces Charles. Aces.
