Give Chuck a break please?

I have been a fan of Chuck starring Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, and Adam Baldwin since the pilot aired in 2007. After each season I would scan the internet to see if the show would return the following year, hoping for renewal yet fearing cancellation. Chuck had some really bad luck in it’s very first season with the writer’s strike. It took a fan getting everyone who loved Chuck to buy Subway sandwiches to get us a second season. The third season started with only a thirteen episode order and was written with that in mind. Suddenly they get six additional episodes, so they valiantly try to top the first thirteen. The fourth season was similar to the third in that it was at first given thirteen then expanded. “Chuck versus the Other Guy” and “Chuck versus the Push Mix” were both to be season finales. The last six episodes of season three and the last eleven episodes of season four are great bonuses for the fans. That those two seasons seems rushed is that cancellation was looming on the horizon, and now it has really happened with season five being the last. I feel sorry for the writers of Chuck for having to work under very uncertain conditions. Our favorite not-so-normal-guy spy is leaving our televisions after this short fifth season.

One wish the science fiction geek in me wants but can not be fulfilled is for a scene between Bruce Boxleitner [President of the Interstellar Alliance (Babylon 5 universe)] shaking hands and talking to Scott Bakula [the President of the United Federation of Planets (Star Trek universe)].

I could nitpick the series, but I will wait until the series is finished to see if any of the inconsistencies are cleared up in the last thirteen episodes.
