* InformedWrongness: We're supposed to agree with Sarah in "Chuck vs the Helicopter" that Chuck was at fault for their mission going array, since he didn't trust her. Of course, the only reason Chuck didn't trust Sarah was the explosive that went off in Casey's car, and had Casey and Sarah trusted each other as they were supposed to, the mission would have worked out fine.

** The Season 4 episodes "Chuck Versus the Fear of Death" and "Chuck Versus Phase Three" treat Sarah as though she has mislead Chuck into believing she will leave him if he is no longer a spy, resulting in Chuck getting into peril when his desperate bid to reactivate The Intersect 2.0 fails. Given how much of the Season 3 drama revolved around Sarah ''not'' wanting Chuck to become a real spy, these episodes instead seem to demonstrate that Chuck is an InsecureLoveInterest with AesopAmnesia.

* SeasonalRot: Fandom was split over whether season 3 was worse than season 2, but most agree that the fourth season isn't as fresh as the preceding two.

Season 5 is a more complicated BrokenBase situation thanks to many characters spending significant chunks of the season being BrainwashedAndCrazy and therefore acting out of character, not to mention the aforementioned AudienceAlienatingEnding.

* MagnificentBastard:
** [[FemmeFataleSpy Carina Miller]] is an agent of the DEA and one of Sarah's oldest friends. Before her first mission with Team Bartowski, Carina manipulates Chuck into trusting her over Sarah by revealing the latter's relationship with Bryce Larkin, leading to him handing her the Nadan-i-Noor after stealing it from Peyman Alahi. After abandoning Chuck and Sarah, Carina hides the diamond in Morgan's bag while distracting him with a kiss, then chains a pursuing Casey to her bed after [[DistractedByTheSexy seducing him]]. During her second trip to Burbank, Carina convinces [[ArmsDealer Karl Stromberg]] that she [[BecomingTheMask really did fall in love with him]] after her cover is blown, giving her the chance to knock him out when his guard is down. Flirtatious and unpredictable, Carina ultimately proves to be a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold good person deep down]] when she helps Chuck rescue Sarah from Alahi, gives Sarah a recording of Chuck confessing his love for her, and helps Chuck cure Sarah of the Norse Virus, before finally attending the two's wedding as a bridesmaid.
** "[[Recap/ChuckS3E12ChuckVsTheAmericanHero Chuck Versus the American Hero]]" & "[[Recap/ChuckS3E13ChuckVsTheOtherGuy Chuck Versus the Other Guy]]": [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep The Director]] is the head of the Ring and behind many foes Team Bartowski face during their first few years. Discovering footage of Evelyn Shaw being killed by CIA agent Sarah Walker, the Director uses said footage to manipulate Evelyn's husband Daniel into joining the Ring. Luring Chuck and Sarah to his base, the Director tricks the two spies into taking the Ring's flawed Cipher, before having Shaw fake his death to further sell the latter's loyalty to the CIA. [[DeadpanSnarker Snarky]] and cunning, the Director comes close to perfecting the Ring's Intersect with the data from the Cipher Shaw passes over to him, only failing due to Morgan discovering Shaw's betrayal.

* AudienceAlienatingEnding: Good luck finding a fan of the show who liked the fact that [[spoiler:Sarah was BrainwashedAndCrazy to forget about Chuck and their relationship in the GrandFinale, smashing down ''hard'' on the ResetButton.]] The episode (and thus the series) ending with [[spoiler:said relationship having to be rebuilt again from nearly-nothing but a tiny reed of implied AmnesiaMissedASpot]] was outright infuriating.

* LoveToHate: Both Shaw and Volkoff are the show's most iconic villains for very good reasons. Shaw for his charisma and intellect as well being the most despicable badguy on the show making him just fun to hate because of it. Volkoff for being a delicious mix of being fun, goofy, hilarious along with being insane and ruthless at the same time.
