Terrible television

[Sjark · 1/10 · 20 April 2019]

Another unfunny episode, infantilizing the already beta male cast to a new low. Amy gets a meltdown about how being the 4th woman to win the nobel prize is somehow more important than the advancement of science itself.. because well if she doesn't, it'll mean women everywhere will marry some loser man and do whatever else they want to do with their life and not pursue science because it interests them, and the patriarcy wins... that's honest to god basically the reasoning. Meanwhile in the Wolowitz household the patriarcy isn't doing so well, with Howard being forced, yes forced, to cancel buying the scooter he wanted, because apparently he married his dominating mother, and they're both fine with that.

Thankfully this is the last season.

Ok, this was really a bad episode (Maybe some spilers)

Sadly I cant give this a go at all. I love the show, and the character but this episode where the men in sense are very emassculated is really bad. Its strange that the strongest male character in this show actually seems to be Leonard. Even if he sometimes is emasculated because Penny sometimes is scary.

The only fun part this episode was when they spoke Swedish. That was fun. But Howard, doesnt he gets to deside anything without Bernadette? I mean I can start to understand why he even wanted to have that scooter. He in sense in jail, no freedom at all. Bernadette has more freedom than he has.

And this darn feminist story that Amy has to win the Nobelprize for all womens sake. God, if I new I won anything because of my all males sake, I would never ever do anything. Who can even get through that pressure. Its a awful way to say, that its in sense different. Just because only 4 women won the prize, so it this prize even more important because she is woman? Common, the people who win this prize has won it because of all humanity, not they own sex. NO, really thumbs down. Dont get this stupid politics in this great show. We dont need it.

Shouldn't we be wrapping things up?

I am, quite frankly a super fan, however, this is a new low for TBBT. There is no plot development with the characters. It has become the whiny Sheldon show with the same sad jokes and everyone twirling around him. There are only a few episodes left, are we to believe that no one but the Wolowitzs are going to be a family? That Penny and Leonard are going to forever be the primrose family with no arguments about babies and eternally Sheldon's keeper? The fact that Bernadette is a completely emasculating witch where Howard is forever at her beck and call and will never be allowed to make a decision again? Koothrapali no longer cares about being alone? The reason this show worked was because it was fresh and showed a side of life that was not usually seen, we now are relegated to the likes of "Everybody loves Raymond" - that wife was a witch to her husband too. As much as I hate to say this, it is a good thing that this show is ending.

Such a disappointment

[HeavenlyKing · 1/10 · 21 April 2019]

This episode, and the last season in general are such a disappointment. There is no plot... probably the actors don't even want to act in some occasions or the scriptwriters are bored writing down a few scripts with some decent content.

The messages the producers are trying to pass to the audience, the weird nonsense jokes the actors make all the time, and the constant useless recording laughters have made this show completely boring and not worth watching at all.

I'm suprised with how this show is still getting over 7 stars on average for the past 3-4 years. It used to be funny. Not anymore. Thank God this is the last season.

Please lay down and die

Enough. The gags are horrible now. The nerds don't work any more. Thanks for some great laughs but this is now an embarrassment. Time to go.

It doesn't get worse than this

[koofrety-1 · 1/10 · 21 April 2019]

All of the watered down friends replication being made are already over, all that is left is the watered down version of an unnecessary prolonged version of a nothingness. It's like they are performing rabbit tricks in front of a live audience , but there are no actual rabbits. This is ridiculously bad, season 12 is ending in nothingness of Sheldon and Amy's world. It's a shame Lorre had to forget about writing a "story". I'm not gonna watch the rest, It's already over for me.

Nothing to Say

[Hitchcoc · 3/10 · 3 December 2021]

Amy is full of guilt. Sheldon is insensitive. Howard buys a scooter. Bernadette is as rotten as she has ever been. She is so mean, she is almost vicious. This may be the worst episode I've seen and I really like this show.

This show is a trainwreck

[ct_54017 · 1/10 · 23 April 2019]

Why is it so hard to write a compelling script to a show that used to be so great? Big Bang went from a goofy/nerdy show to a melodramatic/unfunny crapfest.

The decline started around seasons 6/7, and it somewhat coincides with when Bernadette and Amy Farrah Fowler joined the show, because the introduction of them eventually ruined the characters and storylines we all know and love and turned them into characters we don't recognize (not the women's fault, all the blame goes to the writers). The women (Bernadette and Amy Farrah Fowler, not so much Penny) should've been more geekier and joined in on all of the nerdy stuff the guys used to do, because that used to be mostly what this show was about (they teased us with a couple of episodes where Penny and Bernadette went on gaming binges, or the scene where the women were talking about superheroes and who would win in a showdown).

There's nothing unique about this show anymore besides the episodes they bring in special guests. There's rarely ever anything compelling or funny episode to episode. It's sad, but I will truly be happy once this show ends. Luckily, Young Sheldon is a great spin-off prequel, but how long until Chuck Lorre and co ruins that show as well? Time will tell.

Now, lets hope we get that episode the writers teased us with where everyone goes to India and Raj finally gets married. It would be a great ending, and they could bring back Rajesh's parents and sister Priya to the show, along with numerous of other special guests. It's the ending we all deserve to see after putting up with all this nonsense the last 6-7 seasons.

The Inspiration Deprivation

[bobcobb301 · 5/10 · 25 April 2019]

Regina King and Joshua Malina's characters deliver here, but overall a weak premise and not particularly funny. Disappointing considering there are only a couple episodes of Bang left.

No more fantasy gags either. They are rarely funny and weren't here.
