Thinkling pointed out something about the finale that I had missed, but was established by the split wedding scene. Sarah finished her journey first. Who would ever have expected that she would be the articulate schnook of the pair and Chuck would be at a loss for words because he’d spent the last few days proving to both himself and Sarah that she could count on him to protect her now that she’s opened up and become more vulnerable.

Cenodoxus, great comment. I can sign up to a lot of what you said.

About Sarah being neutered, I think I know what you mean. She ran back to the van with Casey and Morgan, leaving Chuck to die??? Don’t think so. Not after Phase-3, right?

Well, that’s not exactly it. The opening scene established two things; that Chuck and Sarah were not afraid to face mortal danger and that they trusted each other, and Casey and Morgan. Chuck had to trust Sarah to execute his plan. She did. Sarah had to trust Chuck to get back to her safe, even without the Intersect. He did. They were a lot less tentative about trusting so much than they used to be, and I liked that a lot.

Like with Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, that’s not to be confused with a lack of passion!

The show is called “Chuck” but the theme song is clearly about Sarah. So I think it was always about them both.
