CHUCK Season 4 on the DVD Sales Chart

I wasn't shocked by the sales numbers for season 4, based on the amount of people who ordered through my site, which was tiny compared to last year.

CHUCK was 13th on the weekly list with 45,257 units sold generating $1,538,285 in revenue for WB. To put that into perspective, it probably wouldn't pay for the cost of a single episode and is about how much NBC collects in ad revenue for a single episode.

Where is the fandom? Where is this strong fan base? To put it into yet another perspective, these DVD numbers are LESS THAN HALF a 41% drop when compared to season 3 week-1 sales. Seasons 2 and 3 weren't as far apart in week-1 sale (23%), but season 4 sales are a departure from even the ratings trend between seasons. So what gives? Why didn't you order? And more importantly, why didn't you order through my site?!

UPDATE: Week 2 Sales - 15,423

CHUCK Season 4 Blooper Reel

Rejected CHUCK Season 4 Cliffhangers

Original by Rob Cabrera (shark stuff added by me)

With only a few months until the final season of CHUCK, my ninja insider sources have uncovered a list of cliffhanger ideas* that the writers submitted to show runner Chris Fedak, ones he eventually rejected.

Understand that many ideas that are discarded in one season could end up in another, so read these at your own risk as they could spoil you down the line.  I recommend you do not read this if you are sensitive to potential spoilers or are just a massive baby.

This means you, [fill in blank here].

*Not to be taken seriously. For comedic purposes only. Yes, I do have to have this disclaimer because someone will copy and paste it as fact.

CHUCK 4.24: the Cliffhanger - Reactions

The season 4 finale was epic, for sure... lots of game changers in one episode.  So what did you think of it all?  From the ******* to the ********* and then of course the cliffhanger where **************.

Tell us!  And rate the episode from 0 to 100.

CHUCK 4.23: the Last Details - Reactions

Will someone die?! -- Property of WB

CHUCK 4.22: Agent X - Reactions

Stuff happens - Property of WB in my mom's basement

So you watched the latest episode of CHUCK and were obviously blown away. But what did you love the most? Was it the bachelor party and all of its epic failures? The bachelorette party and all of the beefcake in attendance? Or the action elements and the antics of those thrust into the madness? Or was it discovering that Agent X was nothing more than the carcass of a field mouse in a maze of moldy Monterey cheese?

Alright so that last part isn't true but it is a fun little tongue twister.

CHUCK 4.21: the Wedding Planner - Reactions

Papa B? For Burton, silly! -- Property of WB

Alrighty then! You watched the episode and obviously loved it, so what did you think of it? Did the return of Sarah's dad live up to your expectations? How about Chuck and Sarah losing their money? Or their scheme? Also, what did you think of Sarah's New Jersey Long Island accent?! How about her father's decisions at the end? How does it make you feel? Sit on the couch and tell us all about it.

Chuck Rap Song Lyrics

Written and performed by Bob Dougherty      

Y’all gonna feel a shock where the bad guys lurk

On notorious criminals he’ll flash like clockwork

Zach’s in the joint from the point of inception

General’s on the pulse, she be handing out directions

Check it, Agent Walker got a gun pointed atcha

If you try to run she’s gonna catch ya

But John Casey will kill you with a stare like a dagger from hell

He’s like Karl Lagerfeld ‘cause he dress so well

Comes out of every fight and battle that he’s in with not a dent

Lester ain’t a putz; for him that’d be a compliment

A violet is blue, a rose red

Yo Carina, is that you, chillin’ Morgan’s bed?

Grimes, he used to be a shmuck in slacks

Now his and Chuck’s attacks are puttin’ suckers on their backs

Once he was the guy that made you wonder how

Every time he spoke or made a move, you’d wanna cringe, how ya like him now?

For Fulcrum it’s curtains, the Ring got faded

Operation Volkoff: eradicated

So give it up Shaw, the fat lady sang, it’s over

Don’t I recognize that tiger from The Hangover?

Beckman on the line, keep evil in check

Pull Tron off the wall to map the Intersect

And Big Mike with Patricia Rae, who dat?

Carla from Maria Full Of Grace, see I knew that

Ellie got a bun in the oven, the belly getting’ bigger by the minute

Awesome, innit?

Grimes, you better pay your boy back for the condom that you took

From his wallet when he wasn’t lookin’

The opposite of cool, G.  Talk about a cruel twist!

How ya gonna block Chuck, when he ‘bout to get bliss?

You got a lesson in the merits of alliance

From number 9-deuce on the Super Bowl Giants

Linda be a “bad mother” of Chuck, so don’t start

Hang with her you can’t, she ain’t for the feint of heart

The T2 and Rocky 4 lines, yeah I caught ‘em

Zach’s rollin’ up in the slick, black cart George bought him

Mr. McPartlin, can I call you Ryan?

Zach got a spot on Conan O’Brien

From music to intro, slide to the main part

Knocks other series out the box like a tranc dart

Sarah broke the surface of the water in the jungle

A bikini top, knife in her teeth, I felt humbled

Drop the scanner, and pick up the 12 gauge

And tear the roof off like two dogs caged

Zach didn’t get to use his nun chucks, but it didn’t matter

‘Cause he left the villain on the plane battered

Drive by in the tram, 12-strong from Chatham

Watch girls melt when Ryan smiles and waves at ‘em

Stage 4, home for Sarah, Chuck and Grimes

Throw a party, and put Bobby on stage to bust rhymes

The Nerd Herder hit the turbo and it jetted from the shadows of the dark

And straight back to Echo Park

“Puis-je te donner un coussin?” I applaud his French

Zach speaking out to a worldwide audience

I told Yvonne a joke in Spanish and she laughed son

You can’t get over on her, don’t pull a fast one

‘Cause if you gotta be told, she gonna tell ya

And best believe the voice you gonna hear is from Australia

Bryce paid the ultimate price, heroic

Casey: epitome alpha male stoic

Sarah on the carry and you know she won’t fumble

Nicole stepped to her, and Richie got pummeled

Chuck, take it light but keep your eyes out homie

I’ll be keepin’ out of trouble so you don’t flash on me

CHUCK 4.20: the Family Volkoff - Reactions

So what did you think of this episode of CHUCK?  Were you excited?  Did you love Timothy Dalton returning to the show?  Was Sarah hot or super hot in her little snow bunny outfit?  How about Chuck in his Archer getup?  And what about that prenuptial agreement?  And what about the weapon?

Discuss!  Or don't.  I really couldn't care less (which, mind you, is the correct way of saying it and not "I could care less" since that means the opposite of what you are trying to say, numbskulls).

Oh and here is the TV Guide thingy... go to he 3:54 minute mark for CHUCK:

Dear DR: THE FINAL FIVE!

This should be the last Dear DR of season 4 unless something nutty happens.  Fans asked questions and I answer them.  If you don't like the questions, blame yourself for not asking them.  I have over 20 questions and some big spoilers.  I will start off with these and update this posting daily, sometimes more than once per day.  Return often.

Dear DR, will we see Mama B again? If so, in how many episodes? -- Mamemimomu

She returns in 4.20 and will be around for three of the final five (until I hear differently). -- DR

What are the odds of CHUCK getting another season? -- Shervaan

A source puts the odds at 50/50.  That is up from 30/70 a few weeks ago. Take that for what it is worth. -- DR

I 'm just wondering, will Chuck's life be in danger (being shot etc)? -- esozcanesk

Members of Team B will find themselves in life or death situations, some more than others. -- DR

I know that Sarah's dad is coming back, but other than that will Sarah have some interesting stories in upcoming episodes? -- Harku the Creeper

She gets an awesome NEW CAR!  Is that an interesting story? -- DR

Are they ever going to reveal Sarah's real name? -- nena

Her real name is Sam Lisa [something].  You should know that. -- DR

Oh Mighty DR, in 4.22, is Agent X someone close to Chuck (like Ellie or Devon)? Also, in which episode does Sarah have her bachelorette party? And does Chuck have a bachelor party too? -- TS

Answering your first question would likely reveal too much but your second is easy.  4.22 is the bachelor and bachelorette parties for Chuck and Sarah, respectively. -- DR

Dear DR:

1. The decline of CHUCK's viewers in the Male 18-34 group has been discussed in the ratings podcast. Is there anything ahead that may interest that group?

2. Is the stuff with Ellie and the laptop actually leading to an interesting story this time?

3. We have the bracelet. We have the ring. Is there any other jewelry for the crazy shipper to obsess over and is Zales getting any product placement in the show? -- dkd

1. Yep.  There will be hotness (though I can't promise it will make the final cut) 2. Yes. It will lead us to the finale. 3. I can't think of anything. -- DR

Dear DR, does Kathleen find out who Casey is and do they actually get to interact? -- Cor

Yes.  Though, don't expect it to go on for many episodes.  -- DR

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the finale cliffhanger? -- J

Zero. -- DR

Anything you can tell us about how Jack Burton finds out Sarah works for the CIA? -- uplink

He steals her wallet (edit: or purse, whatever, I'm a guy, what do I know?). -- DR

How much does the NFL lockout have to do with CHUCK getting renewed? I seem to recall reading that a long lockout would mean the show gets a fifth season. Is that true? And if so, how long would the lockout need to last? -- BC

However long NBC feels they need to wait to know.  -- DR

How do you get to be so handsome? Obligatory compliment over and now onto my question: Are they going to kill someone off CHUCK (as in at least a recurring guest star like Bryce or Papa B)? -- Michael

They are certainly going to try. -- DR

What's this relationship curveball (in the 4.20 synopsis) all about? Should I be worried? -- Anonymous

Not as worried as you should be that your parents named you Anonymous.  The curveball (a baseball term most of the world won't understand) is related to a prenuptial agreement and Sarah's conflict over Chuck's attitude. -- DR

Of all the great songs up to this point on the series of CHUCK, can you give me a list of your favorite songs that appeared in the show? -- Patrick

There are just too many to name them all but my favorite use of a song has to be Signs by Bloc Party (2.16).  I also loved Young Blood by The Naked and Famous (4.13) and Feeling Good by Nina Simone was pretty epic (3.14).  Not to mention all the uses of Bon Iver on the show.  But if I were to make a top 10 list of my favorite songs on this show, it would take me a week to pick the perfect songs.  No show has had a bigger affect on my love for music. -- DR

Will Alex have an opportunity to show off her fighting skills again? -- Lucia

I am sorry to say... no. -- DR

With CHUCK's ratings dropping to a 1.5 what is the chance that Fedak and company will change their mind to end the season finale on a cliffhanger? -- Poopmonster McGee

I don't see how they could avoid it at this point.  It feels like the ending is geared toward this cliffhanger.  So, as much as I wish they weren't doing it, I would be very surprised if they don't.  But please, show runners, surprise me by not doing it.  -- DR

Dear almighty DR, just wondering about a comment Chris Fedak made in an interview about Morgan and how he is now doing the Chuck journey all over. Does he just mean learning about how to be a spy or will it get more dark for him - ie shooting a gun or getting in way too over his head. Or will they keep him the happy-go-lucky character? -- Maddie

Morgan is definitely going to find new and exciting ways to get in way over his head.  But if there is going to be anything super dark in his future, it will not be this season.  -- DR

Dear DR, does Jill make an appearance in the final 5? -- Larry

Sadly, no. -- DR

Dear DR, is Agent X going to be a big thing and is Ellie going to be in some fighting scenes? -- Canadian Greg

I hope Agent X is a big thing.  As for Ellie doing fighting scenes... I guess she could be if she is an Intersect, if that is to what you are alluding.  So, no. -- DR

There was this sentence in CHUCK season 4 DVD review on Amazon - "In the second *finale*, Chuck and Sara [sic] must escape the revenge of the Volkov [sic] family long enough to bring off their own wedding. " Does this guy knows something we don't? -- Harku the Molester

Very generalized supposition.  So, nope.  -- DR

CHUCK gets the same Live+7 ratings as FRINGE (2.2). CHUCK is now getting a 1.5 on Mondays because of DWTS. Obviously Fridays is not such a wasteland with the FRINGE renewal. What are the odds that NBC looks at Fox's model and renews CHUCK to Friday's. It surely could do just as good as FRINGE right? -- UC15

Moving CHUCK has been discussed but whether they will do it or not is beyond my source's ability to know right now. -- DR

Question related to both original 13 and Agent X story: was Chuck to remain intersect-less until episode 13 and was the whole Agent X storyline supposed to be in the original 13? -- Siemon

Definitely not. -- DR

Could you say that Chuck and Sarah's wedding will be paid for by the CIA or will Chuck have to work at the Buy More forever? -- Sadie

Neither Chuck nor Sarah will be paying for any wedding.  By season's end, Chuck will pretty much solidify his desire to be a Buy Moron forever. -- DR

CHUCK fans are awesome and I know they like to give to charity, is there anything going on where I can donate? -- Awesome Chuck Fan

YES!  Our Princess Bailey is doing another fundraiser with her school and needs your help!  Click the link and donate as much as you can.  Thanks: http://www.mymathathon.org/BaileyB -- DR

Dear DR, I really enjoy your spoilers and I am wondering will they EVER have a mission-free episode? Like for the season finale, because I really do not want a mission on their wedding day! And are the bachelor/bachelorette parties going to be wild or is it going to be ANOTHER mission episode? -- Jade

4.21 is the closest you will get to a non-mission episode. 

Chuck's bachelor party (in 4.22) goes all wrong with some hilarious results.  Sarah seems to get a more traditional bachelorette party with hot male strippers all up in her personal space. -- DR

Dear DR, CHUCK won the Hulu and TVLine best show on TV polls. How much will that influence NBC when it comes to renewal? -- Andreas the Little Girls

It will have no impact.  Internet polls are virtually ignored by network executives.  It is too easy to set up auto voting bots.  100 people can vote tens of thousands of times.  There is no way to accurately judge their legitimacy.  The only thing that may have any weight is the USA Today TV survey and even that is a stretch.  But polls are just ways to get fans to hit a website over and over.  Whether you want to believe it or not, they are meaningless.  Plus, if you notice on the Hulu site, the mention of CHUCK winning isn't even on the first banner panel and they misspelled "Winner." (and if you don't believe me, read what Zachary Levi said about it) -- DR

Jeffster has appeared in the climactic scenes of the last two season finales, will they make it three in a row? -- Anonymous

I don't remember them being in the Intersect room in season 2 or Papa B's basement in season 3.  If you mean to ask if they will be playing during an action sequence, then I am pretty sure they won't.  But anything could change from now until they finish the episode. -- DR

Do you like this next story arc? (The cliffhanger aside, of course). -- Mamemimomu

They all have potential.  4.20 has all the makings of a classic badass episode with a couple of very funny bits.  4.21 could be a new fan favorite with Sarah's back story getting some much requested focus.  4.22 sounds to me like an episode built to maximize on the comedy.  4.23 is a big setup for the finale with some cliffhanger elements that will definitely elevate concern for our characters.  And then 4.24 is a massive episode that has a movie's worth of story to tell in 43 minutes.  So... as I often say, execution is key, but I plan on enjoying these final five episodes as much as possible. -- DR

I am sure everyone is going to ask about a wedding, but is there a funeral in the finale? -- Amrit's Puppet

Yep. -- DR

Dear DR, what is the most significant unresolved plot thread/story element that would lead into Season 5? -- Gringo Chuck Fan

This season ends on some significant game changers that the writers could do away with in one episode, or could decide to use to go in an interesting direction next season.  It all depends on their desire to be interesting or predictable. The season ending cliffhanger will at least frame the 5th season.  Also, (it is possible that) a new element is introduced to the grander story that fans will sit around discussing for a while and demand an answer to for the next year.  -- DR

NEW

Dear DR, will we see a wedding in the finale? -- Hellen

Let me put it this way, the finale is not a wedding episode.  It is a hero episode.  Whether or not you see Chuck and Sarah married is up to you to find out while watching.  Though, I strongly suggest that anyone deeply invested in seeing that temper their expectations and enjoy the ride. -- DR

CHUCK 4.19: The Muuurder - Reactions

Chuck, Sarah, and Casey search for something -- Property of WB

You just watched the episode now discuss it.  Did you love it?  Hate it?  Both?  Will Sarah ever not be pretty?  GO!

As Chuck fights, Sarah gets hotter -- Property of WB

WARNING! EXPECT SPOILERS (so if you haven't watched, don't read!)

It has been TWO WEEKS since a new episode and you were all itching for more CHUCK! So, what did you think? Did the Greta stuff live up to the build-up?

Oh... and did you vote in the poll on the right side?!?!

CHUCK 4.17: First Bank of Evil - Reactions

Since the podcast won't be out until WEDNESDAY (due to a late recording schedule tomorrow) I am creating another reaction thread for this latest episode.  What did you think?  Tell the world.

EXPECT SPOILERS in the comments section, so do not read it if you haven't seen the episode yet.

Oh, and my birthday is on the 15th so what are you getting me?

CHUCK 4.13: Push Mix - Reactions

Did it live up to the hype (of course it did)?  Talk about it here until you find something better to do.  Expect episode SPOILERS in the discussion.

CHUCK SPOILER: In response to latest Ask Ausiello, Jan. 18, 2011

In his latest Ask Ausiello, TVLine's Michael Ausiello teases something about a new incoming character named Vivian.  Go read what he said and then read my elaboration on that spoiler below:

Vivian is someone for whom Chuck can be a knight in shining armor.  Fans who have complained that he doesn't "man up" should be pleased.  He finally has a girl he can protect.

CYT54 SPOILERS!

Dear DR: 2011 brings pain and suffering!

You asked, I answered.

Please do not copy and paste this to your site.  Please link at the top of your posting to this article and write a short summary.  Thank you.

Hey love your site and I just want to say how much it has saved me during the 7 week hiatus. Anyway on to my question: Is there any thing you can tell us about the episode Carina makes her return on? -- Sadie

It digs a bit into Sarah's past.  I imagine it won't be the last of her back-story we see this season.

Dear Great One and Master of the Internets, can you help me recover from my New Year's hangover by giving any further details on this Chris Fedak comment from the EW article?:  “Our team finds themselves in a terrifying situation, which may be Chuck’s worst fear." -- Rachael 

That is certainly NOT what I told him to say.  But you know show runners... always going off script.  I imagine he meant Chuck's fear of losing those he cares about very much... or being abandoned by them.

DR you are the greatest. My question is with Roan and Carina coming back is it possible that they will comment on Chuck and Sarah's life since they last saw them? -- Amrit

Definitely.

Any comment on Seduction Impossible episode, like will there be any fun scenario regarding Moroccan general and his female army ? -- Harku

You can count on a number of seductions.... and at least one member of Team B will need to seduce one of those ladies.

Look at the question and now at yourself and now back at my question and now I am guessing by now you know you are better then the Old Spice guy who was on CHUCK. So my question is Morgan and Alex, are they ever going to show them going out on a date? Because they could get kidnapped and Casey would have to save them. -- Greg

If that is planned, I don't know about it.

DR, you're awesome! I love your site, spoilers, podcasts... just about everything! Question to you: I know Roan and Carina are coming back this season, have you heard of any other returning characters from previous seasons that are coming back? (for example: Cole Barker, Jack Burton, or anyone from the dead) -- Steve

Not yet.  But I would not be shocked if one of those individuals shows up at some point.

They should refer to Devon as Captain Adequate because you are the true Captain of Awesome. My question is, Will Chuck and Sarah have any conversation or interaction coming up where Chuck is the supportive one? Will he get to be there for Sarah a little? -- Sue

Ummmm... yeah.  It is safe to say Chuck is going to get a moment like that in the next five episodes.

Hey Magnus, thanks for all the work you put into this site, you're awesome. In a previous Dear DR, you mentioned there wouldn't be any Sarah/Ellie scenes. Do you know if this holds true for the back 14? Phil Klemmer's back, and I remember he wrote some memorable scenes between the two of them. -- Anonymous Dippy

NO NAMES! There is a Sarah and Ellie scene in one of the early back order episodes.

Dear great, awesome, powerful and wonderful leader. Sir DR, I notice the lack of spoilers about Buy Morons of late. Anything interesting coming up in relation to Jeff, Lester or Big Mike that can be revealed? -- Rob

They get involved in the arrival of Baby Awesome in more ways than one.  Think baby names... and they certainly have opinions about the push mix.

Dear DR in all your awesomeness, another website--which I choose not to identify by name--made some noises a while back about Chuck doing a crossover with another TV series. As I recall, they even asked for fan suggestions of which TV series. They said the suggestions would be passed on to the producers. Was there anything to that? Is Chuck really considering a crossover? -- Diane

Sounds like a website run by idiots who couldn't come up with an original idea unless they stole it.  No.  There is no cross-over... at least so far.

Almighty DR, ruler of the Chuck-verse and consistently-reliable teller of the spoilers, as awesome as I anticipate a little bit of Chuck/Sarah angst to be, is there any chance of some epic, happy moments before/during/after this angst? -- James

Yep.  4.11 is going to have some pretty sweet moments.  They even shot a really hot moment for 4.12, but I don't know if it made it into the episode.

In your latest Dear DR, you said that very soon Sarah would come to a realization that some fans would "rage against". Was that hyperbole? On another note, I'm really looking forward to the return of Roan Montgomery. Your teasers and the EW article both imply that there will be a lot of seducing going on in this episode. Please tell me that Chuck is involved in at least one of the seductions. -- Anonymous Nutbag

You didn't praise me or anything... why even bother responding?  But it was a good question so I will give you this one.  Was it hyperbole?  Probably.  Especially since I don't know how it is executed, or how they edited pieces together.  So, I can't fully judge how some people will react.  But if people don't react negatively to it, then I will be surprised.

As for Seduction Impossible, there are a number of seductions and Chuck has one of them.  As do two other members of Team B.

Are we going to see Alex and Casey on a mission together at some point? -- Bert

Not that I know.

Dear hot, intelligent DR, just wanna say I love your podcasts and your site is definitely THE best Chuck site there is, it has for sure saved me during these brutal weeks without Chuck. Love you and love your teaser spoilers, but I was hoping you could give us something a bit more straight forward about the whole Chuck and Sarah drama that seems to be coming, please? Like is the Sarah leaving Chuck for another man thing because of a mission? P.S. sorry for the length of the question and I donated, hope it helps :) -- Amy

First, thank you for the donation.  Those who donate can make their questions as long as they want!  Sarah's decision to leave is not easy to describe without giving away big plot points.  Her decision isn't because she finds a hotter guy.  It does appear to be a personal choice, though.

DR, leader of leaders, king of kings, supreme master of all Chuck spoilers, teasers and podcasts ... and generally an awesome person, what are the chances that Volkoff will not be killed or permanently sealed off in a secret CIA prison by the end of the season? -- Luk

I have no idea what they plan to do with him at the end of the season.  Well, maybe I have a little bit of an idea but since those episodes haven't been written yet, I can't say for sure.

Dear DR, me dumb ... you all Chuck knowing ... would you tease/spoil more about 4.13 other than a baby arrives? -- TS

I think Chuck is going to need a bigger poster this time.  We also find out what kind of music Devon likes.  I was devastated.  I thought he was a Toad the Wet Sprocket kind of guy.

Oh Dear DR, in all your awesomeness, king of the internet, master of spoilers, we all know that you love to tease with your spoilers and we love that, but I was hoping you could clarify a bit on the spoiler "Sarah attacks Chuck with passion." Good or bad ? And when? -- Anonymous Momo

HOT.  4.12.  Unless they cut it out of the episode (they better not).

Dear DR, I've already told you that you are the SINGLE reason Chuck has stayed on the radar for the last five weeks (until Mr. Fedak finally showed up) and if I were either Schwartz or Fedak, I'd offer you a well paying job to do just that - a job you probably have too much integrity to accept. My question, such as it is, is about shippers - you have already stated you believe they will go nuts over 4.11 and rage over 4.12. What do you believe shippers will do after 4.13? -- PeterOinNJ

They would never offer me a job and I would never accept as long as I had to work for WB.  I would happily work for the producers, though.  They are nice people.  As for your question, a baby arrives so they should be happy.  After all, you know it is going to affect Chuck and Sarah in some way.

DR, you are the hottest thing since ice cream. And no, I don't think that's weird coming from another heterosexual man. Now onto my question: Can we expect a new big bad for the second half of the season or is the Mama B / Volkoff storyline going to continue past episode 13? -- Michael

Inappropriate!  Anyway, as of this writing, there is no new bad guy story line.  Is that because the current bad guy is still a threat?  Or because the writers are lazy?  Tune in to find out.

Will there be an episode or two where - for one reason or another - Casey is not around? -- Max

Without giving anything away, or being able to clarify, I will say... yes.  Don't read anything into that!

Alright, that is it.  I answered almost every question except for those I felt I couldn't answer or were already answered.  If you don't like the questions, then ask a better one next time.  Enjoy!

UPDATE!  I forgot to include one question:

Can you tell us anything about my favorite relationship, Sarah and Casey? -- Burkey

Casey and Sarah will have a very emotional moment together... a moment that will dwarf all other moments in which Sarah has called him "John."

UPDATE 2, from the comments section:

Hi DR, never posted before, but have enjoyed observing from the sidelines all the wit and wisdom you provide on a regular basis for my favorite show. Thank you so much. I know you can't specify when or in what episode the proposal is going to happen with Chuck and Sarah, but how do you think fans will react based on what you know about it? -- Melissa

I have a rule: I will not discuss the Chuck and Sarah engagement story line other than to say that it was decelerated once they got the extended episode order.  However, I will tell you that in 4.11 you will get more than a glimpse into the romantic mind of Chuck.  And by that I mean that he has been working on a plan B... or C... or D... F... G?
