Chuck That!

Oh, Freaks. I'm so sad.

It's time to say goodbye to Chuck Bartowski.

I'm just....

Sorry, it's hard to type through all the tears.

In honor of the finale of one of my favorite TV spies, let's do


Top Ten Chuck Episodes


10. Chuck vs. The Frosted Tips

My favorite (although I'm sure the finale will eclipse it) of Season 5 so far, I just thought douchey Morgan was really funny. Plus, I really like the Casey-Verbanski romance.

Guns and Explosions= Republican Foreplay


9. Chuck vs. The Beard

Ring agents infiltrate the Buy More under the cover of corporate suits and the employees stage a rebellion while Chuck is left alone to deal with an all out assault on Castle, until Morgan learns the truth. I love the episodes that feel like a large ensemble show, and this one nailed it.


Also, I have an extreme passion for Nerf gun fights. 


8. Chuck vs. The Push Mix

Dying Sarah drama, the arrival of Baby Clara, crazy Jeffster, emotional Casey, and the perfect not-so-perfect proposal. Awww!!!

Also, damn the Buy More pays well. 



7. Chuck vs. The Cougars

I was surprised to like this episode's guest star as much as I did, but Nicole Richie was great as Sarah's high-school rival turned spy rival, and kicked ass in the show's best (and most gratuitous) girl fight.

Um, yeah...It's better than this picture. 


6. Chuck vs. The Alma Mater

Chuck has to confront his demons and go back to Stanford, where he discovers not only a former professor is in danger, but the truth behind Bryce's betrayal.

Why, yes, you should be legally required to wear a tuxedo at all times. 


5. Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer

I love this episode. It's fun and Chuck is just so cute, and it's got a great twisty ending. And lots of Rush. And who doesn't love Rush?



4. Chuck vs. The Angel de la Muerte

This is one of my favorite Casey episodes of all time, where he faces an old enemy in Allejandro Goya, the Premiere of the fictional Costa Gravas.

3. Chuck vs. The Ring

Hey, remember when Neal Caffrey was Bryce Larkin? Good times. This epsiode saw Bryce confessing to knowing Chuck's father, the return of Rourke, a majorly crashed wedding, my favorite Jeffster appearance, and the introduction of Kung Fu Chuck. Can't get much better than that!

Sam Kinison and an Indian lesbian crash a wedding. 

2. Chuck vs. The Cliffhanger


That title is why I love this show. This could have been the final episode of the show, since when it aired last year NBC had not yet greenlit the fifth and final half season. So the show was poking fun, that while they did manage to wrap up a lot of the major arcs of the show, they would have left it on a major twist with Morgan becoming the new Intersect. Luckily we got more time, but this sweet episode still would have been a fantastic ending all on its own, with the happy-ending-wedding and the beginning of Carmichael Industries.

If the spying failed, clearly they could go into bird-themed weddings. 



1. Chuck vs. The Intersect

The one that started it all, sweet faced little Chuck downloads a computer in his brain and becomes a secret agent super-secret.



Aw, shit, you guys.

I'm really gonna cry tonight.
