Chuck Season 3 Finale

I finally got around to watching the Chuck Season 3 Finale on Sunday night. Coincidentally, Chuck and The Big Bang Theory both ended their 3rd seasons on the same night (Monday, May 24th, 2010). Luckily, Chuck is getting renewed for a 4th season, and The Big Bang Theory got renewed for at least 2 more seasons.

For people who continue reading and do not watch the show, this may be a huge spoiler of this season!

The final two episodes were a good wrap up of the entire season. Overall, I found this season depressing. It began with Chuck's muddled relationship with Sarah, Shaw arrived and stole Sarah (he was also evil, which I suspected from the beginning), and the series took a darker turn when Chuck went insane. However, this season had great story arks for all of the main charactors: Chuck, Sarah, Casey, Morgan, Ellie, and Devon. As much as I hated this season, it was necessary for the show. Ironically, I was watching season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the same time as I was watching this season. The two were remarkably similar because all of the charactors were going through awkward stages in their lives, and the seasons overall made people depressed.

The final sequence of the last episode reminded me a lot of the season 3 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Because the Buy More has been the central base of the series since the beginning, it was

a symbolic part of the show when the Buy More was blown up by a bomb at the end of season 3. This was the same thing that happened in Buffy when the High School was blown up at the end of it's 3rd season.

I'll continue into more detail, and charactor arks soon.
