I mean out of the two relationships...Hannah and chuck worked on every level up until they made him dump her...if chuck was not the hero...they had to make him suffer, he had to chase after sarah and try and win her back from shaw...as a non shipper and a lover of good tv, for me it made far more sense to keep hannah and get rid of shaw, because I never ever ever ever ever really thought that chuck could not beat shaw for sarah, whereas..hannah, they were so good I had my doubts, and you know I think they should have gone down that route of sarah having to fight for chuck, it would have been better for her character and the audience would have bought the stakes and chuck had already pined for her for 2 years it would have been better...Judenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-28106008628695905592011-01-01T14:49:10.247-05:002011-01-01T14:49:10.247-05:00I just think the writers wanted to create romance ...I just think the writers wanted to create romance angst between Chuck and Sarah and used Kristin and Brandon for that purpose.

I know you say that she could have been morgans girl but do you really think she would have gone for it?

If it goes unchallenged then everyone just accepts it.<br /><br />Granted, when you push you become enemy number one. It makes no difference to them that I have spent most of my time working to raise money for charities, in the name of the CHUCK fandom, or helped organize events so fans could meet the cast. All they define me by is that I challenge them.

That doesn't seem, at least on the face of it, to jive with "soooo going to miss you". (2) I think(?) you mentioned to someone else that the attacking happens while Sarah is in her bondage gear (for lack of a better word, and probably part of her departure/naughtiness/new job). Why would she wait to put that stuff on to say goodbye. Of course, I am extrapolating whole cloth from a few loose strands, and context is king as we've seen repeatedly. Still, that's what happens in my mind until the show proves me wrong :)<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-69607168566478911372010-12-31T16:04:57.547-05:002010-12-31T16:04:57.547-05:00When I look at some fan reactions in the fandom it...When I look at some fan reactions in the fandom it seems that some fans live chuck 24/7 that when they watch episodes they have a nervous feeling in the pit of their stomach and it makes them go crazy and lose control and they go to forums to complain....I think why? enjoy the ride, do not get this life or death about the show.

I'm thinking past seductions or even relationships is too pat an answer. Maybe it was a long term thing and that's what will bother people? If it's something else about her past, like showing in graphic detail that she was Graham's enforcer, then why specifically shippers? And it does seem that this revelation is connected with her leaving and both happen in 4.11. Or am I putting 2 and 2 together to get 5?<br /><br />Also, if we've seen this man she leaves for before, and it's not something silly/incidental like going on a side mission with Morgan, then who's left? She goes to work for Volkoff? But you've said there's no obvious Sarah/MamaB parallel. Bryce is dead. Shaw is in jail. We saw Graham blow up. Maybe it's an old mark like Lon Kirk or the guy from Pink Slip, but they both know she's CIA now. Maybe it's Skip from the Buymore, who we all know is the true mastermind behind Fulcrum/The Ring/Volkoff. <br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
