But just because they are together doesn't mean that the story no longer has anywhere to go. Despite the fear of most shows - that if you choose WILL for your will they?/won't they? couple, the audience will lose all interest - Chuck has gone ahead and given us one of the things we've always wanted. And I stress the word "one."
In Chuck vs the Honeymooners, Chuck and Sarah decide to quit the spy life and be together, always on the run but together. It quickly became apparent that this was something neither of them really wanted, but both were convinced it was the greatest desire of the other and, after all the drama in Prague and with Daniel and Hannah, the most important thing for Sarah and Chuck is to be together.
The moment that amused me the most was how so much of the sexual chemistry between Sarah and Chuck disappeared when they decided to quit being spies and become boring, normal people. Even better was that this moment was so quickly followed by a doubled attraction the moment they decided to take on one mission. Sure, you could argue that their relationship is built on thrill-seeking, but I reply that doing what makes you happy in life makes you more interesting in the bedroom.
Also, the handcuff fight segment at the end of the episode not only demonstrated how well Chuck and Sarah work together as a team, but was also some of the greatest combat we've seen on the show.
I am really excited about where Chuck is going right now. I know that Chuck and Sarah make a great team, and I want to see them face their challenges together. I have absolutely no fear that I will lose interest now that they have gotten together, and I also hope that 1. Chuck will be renewed for a 4th season, and that 2. Chuck will show other shows that you can get your couple together without becoming boring.
What do you hope?
