CHUCK Season 5: You Write It, I Make it Happen!
With my many, many, super secret ninja sources within WB and NBC, I have the power to influence the writing of the season in ways the show runners can't even begin to imagine.
I am that good.
Don't believe me? Sucks to be your cynicism.
Now, for those who are believers, who have faith in the all mighty Me, I am taking requests now for what you want to happen in season 5. I will then take the best ideas and have one of my smoke-bomb-throwing ninjas sneak into the writers room late at night and drop the idea(s) on their white board.
Those guys and gals are often so full from stuffing their faces with the awesome catering they get, and "happy" from whatever else that goes on when the doors are closed, that they won't notice that they didn't put the idea(s) on the board.
Hurry, though, there isn't much time before they start to break the second half of the season! Once that happens, my ninjas can only change so much. So, put your ideas in the comment section (anonymous posting, as always, is available), and I will make it happen!
Don't delay, dammit!

EXCLUSIVE: NBC to Order More CHUCK for Season 5?
Following my posting of an article linking to Sepinwall's interview with the head of NBC, several reliable individuals contacted me about talks between NBC and WB for more episodes in season 5.
I had heard about this around SDCC (Michael Ausiello hinted at it in a cast interview) and checked with my source at NBC and was told not to take it seriously (since Ausiello seemed to be hinting at a sixth season). However, the response yesterday from others in-the-know made me press the NBC source for more information.
I was told today that while NBC hasn't 100% ruled out anything, that the likelihood of a back order, at least right now, is less than 10%. For NBC to order more episodes, the source said, WB would have to keep the licensing fee at the 13 episode order level. WB may be unwilling to do that since they don't need more than 88 episodes to sell the show into syndication.
WB COULD possibly lower the licensing fee again, perhaps if CHUCK Season 4 DVD/BD sales are very good. So, start ordering, people!
Order: CHUCK SEASON 4 DVD
Order: CHUCK SEASON 4 Blu-Ray
(Disclosure: I make like $1.something per your order if you clicky that link)
This individual went onto say that the CHUCK writers are writing the next 13 as the series finale but... and here is the kicker, since NBC hasn't fully committed to ending it at 13, the series finale will end up being open ended, instead of having full closure like many expect.
If NBC decides to pick the show up for more, they would have to do it before November, when production ends. The problem there is that CHUCK doesn't return until 21 October. That doesn't give NBC much time to judge its need for more episodes. The most likely scenario would have any back order occur BEFORE the show returns, or at the latest, within the first week or two of its return.
Do you want the 13 episodes written as a series finale and then have 9 episodes tacked on after they have shot 11 of them? How do you feel about an open ended series finale? Comment below.

Head of NBC: CHUCK Is Definitely Over
Head of NBC Entertainment, Robert Greenblatt states definitively that it is 13 episodes and done.
Update: I have been contacted by a couple of people who want me to correct my projection. The head of NBC did not, in that interview, specify 13 episodes. He specified the season was its last.
My source at NBC still says it ends at 13, though.
