I will never forgive the writers

Well they are all still working. I thought season 5 was great, and a great way to bring the show full circle for the end.

Omg those were exactly my thoughts! They should've just stopped at season 4, that was easily the best series finale they could've asked for. The 5th season was a joke.

Season Five was really good but the ending was an absolute disgrace and Schwartz and Fedak lost me as a fan the instant they did what they did to the fans.

Compared to other shows like Dexter, the finale wasn't that bad..It just doesn't give much closure.

I hated Season 5 also. I am glad I am not alone.

Season 5 has a totally different feel to it for a number of reasons. First, I think having Chuck, Sarah and Casey leave the CIA and instead "fight" the CIA, kind of ruined things. I think that having then start their own spy company was not very easy to swallow in that eventually their data would not be very reliable. They relied heavily on the CIA data in the past and that data would not remain accessible to them. So that was a big change.

Second, the intersect was designed for specific people capable of handling the subliminal messaging associated with the multi layered photos. However, by suddenly having Morgan be able to become the intersect and then Sarah....it really made the whole intersect story a bit cheesy. Also, Morgan is hard to take in large doses to begin with much less as a arrogant intersect. Sarah losing her memory was the worst, yet in some ways a bit in keeping with the show in how Chuck constantly had to win her over and over again.

However, I do think the finale was sort of in keeping with the show. I do believe that Sarah regained enough memory (or rather feeling more than memory even) to head to a spot that was important to she and Chuck and then ask him to tell their story and then ask him to kiss her. I think they were well on their way to recovery.

I just preferred the first three seasons where they were fighting "bad spy" groups and being heroes. As much as I loved Timothy Dalton in his duo role, I really felt Linda Hamilton as Frost and the mother of Ellie and Chuck was hard to swallow. She just didn't come across as someone that was that believable, and the fact that she stuck it out 20 years, abandoning her kids and husband, to try and bring down a network that Chuck and his team managed to bring down in a matter of weeks, seems really sad. It makes me feel like she was disingenuous about her reasons for staying away so long.

Overall, I would love to see the show return, but back to the roots and the team reinstated in the CIA after cleaning it up from Shaw and Quinn. Then get back to new adventures. It would be great to see them still be on top of their A-game without the need for any "intersect" like tool or anything else their competitors or enemies come up with.

I think that "craptastic" is a great way to describe season five and especially that last episode.

How anyone can watch that last season and still think it was great, is beyond me.

But to each his/her own of course.
